Well, my XP Pro restore CDs work fine... So it'll be either those or the
new one.

Well, honestly, in the entire time I've been using computers, I have NEVER
EVER EVER seen a virus on any machine I was using. I mean, not once. Not
even on Windows! So I don't care too much. If it makes the system
even a TINY bit more stable, I'd rather have that than working virus
protection. :)
So far, the machine I actually got this copy of XP for is doing okay, after
an initial disaster involving a card reader being probed as drives E-H, and
XP's system disk being assigned I:, for no good reason.
