Greg, I have had XP, since last Nov. I don't remember anything happening after 30 days. >From frequent requirements, to reboot and quite a few reformatting and reinstalling, with my WIN98SE. I have had just been required to reboot once. I had to get a few updated drivers from manufacturers, but other than that, no problems whatsoever. Mind you having said that, I upgraded my computer, and had a clean install, which also might have had something to do with no problems. Anyway, just my experience. Regards, John M.
