Hello. I may be overlooking the obvious but how do I find out what version
of XPpro I am running? Thanks, Barbara

Control Panel - System, will tell you which version of XP, and whether
you have SP1 installed.

Thank you (I do have to admit your name scared me a bit {what can I expect
from "Oldus Fartus"] ). May I now ask what is SPI?. I accessed the system
information before but the people I am dealing with want something like "
version 4.2.7?". I have version 2002 but that is not acceptable to them.

Mine is a descriptive name Barbara!

SP1 is Service Pack 1 - the update to XP including security updates and
the like. A bug fix in other words.

The full windows version would be Microsoft Windows XP [Version
5.1.2600] Is this what they want? If you open a command prompt by
typing CMD in the window which opens by clicking the RUN button, Windows
will report it's version as above.
