prefer XP for , so I plan on keeping is as a backup OS , just trying
to get as much moved over as I can and email/newsgroups are a primary
task for my desktop . It's a pain in the ass to keep rebooting when I
want to change over .

Â*From the narrative I can't tell which isn't working -- trying 68.9.0
on XP (not supported, so not terribly surprising it doesn' work if
that's the case) or Win7.

I didn't keep the XP partition but have had on issues on Win7.

I presume but I haven't looked that one can revert to earlier releases
if do need to get back to an XP running case.

Â*Â* I'm setting up 7 on the desktop , which is dual boot XP and 7 . The
latest version of T-bird that will run on XP is 52.9.1 . I really wasn't
expecting problems , the desktop is running a 2.2Ghz quad core AMD
processor with 8Gb of RAM and a new motherboardÂ* .

If you set up Fedora instead, you can install qemu-kvm (kernel
Virtual machine) and set up a virtual machine for both XP and
W7 and not have to screw around with booting back and forth.
