Default OT - "repairing" Windows XP installation

Would happily tell you more but I am a bit out of touch with it on the

Virtualbox is a good one to go for - i've got about 9 "machines" set
up under my install of it.


For fun I just installed virtualbox on my Vista desktop. Then created an
ubuntu VM. Ran it - it worked. All done remotely from my XP laptop.

Managed all of that, including the downloads, within the time partner
was on the phone to her sister. Nothing difficult. Instructions readily
available on the net.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
