Hello,
I have an older tablet laptop (averatec c3500 tablet) that has the precious windows XP on it. I need it to run a program that will only work with XP. The software will run on win 7 as long as it has the virtual XP but I dont know how to do this.
I stopped using this tablet many years ago because it hung alot and seem really bogged down.
I read in fixya a recommendation to scan it for registry, malware and viruses rather than reset to default because the company "averatec" no longer provides support or the stylus drivers etc. They are hard to get and configure.
I have a spare licence for norton internet security that I will use for viruses, is there another malware scanner out there that anyone can recommend?
I have never messed with registry scans but I hear they produce fantastic results. Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
