Amen, Jim, to all.

I didn't want to get Windows 7, wanted to stay on XP but the PC came with 7 ... XP is not sold anymore. Don't have the disks for XP, as we're still running the old machine & you get one copy.

So... XP is out of the question, I have to figure out how to deal with the stuff I have in my hand.

Heading out tomorrow to try try again, see if I get anything more workable with the lowered pops/clicks.... maybe they won't show up so much........... sigh
