[Papyrus-L] System slowdown under XP

[John Rodgers]

Apparently not.   A number of people have gnashed and groaned over this 
one.   I think there is some sense that the problem involves how XP keeps 
track of how different programs access the same data files.  There are ways 
to change the compatibility level of XP but they do not seem to fix the 
problem.

    The one possibility I have thought about but have not tried is to 
install a program (I've heard about one but can't remember the name of it) 
that allow you to install several operating systems on one PC.  Then you 
can use XP for most tasks  (accessing external devices) but you can switch 
to an earlier version of Windows for doing important things like writing 
papers.
