7. Yes, thanks for the ideas

I suppose the day will come when I migrate everything to a new PC. But this is simple. I have a few issues to resolve on this PC. I have a very good Canon scanner, but it's XP generation. There are no driver updates for it, and its performance on generic Linux drivers is poor. Also have a host of video files which last time I checked were not producing sound. Not sure the resolution on that. Someone gave me software links to reconnect. To complicate I replaced the CRT with a 2010 HP LCD. The color rendition for video is sometimes good, sometimes bad. Don't know what that's about. It's using the latest HP driver.

The XP is not connected to the internet. I run Linux laptops for that. My thought is to dual boot Linux and XP so the desktop can be used for internet too. A grand idea was to triple boot by adding Win10, but I think eventually I'll go with another and new laptop instead.

Thanks again!
