Hi All,
I'm running on my daughter's computer. Actually, her husband thinks
its his computer and he "benevolently" allows her, their kids and me
to use it. He fancies himself a computer wizard. I'm a retired
computer consultant with decades of experience in programming on
various Win platforms.
I''d like to confirm that this computer's running XP and determine the
Service Pqck level installed. I've forgotten how to do that, and may
not even be able to since I'm running on my daughter's account and she
doesn't have Admin privileges.
Also the default colors are poorly chosen, e.g. the scrollbar is
indistinguishable on some windows because the colors are 'washed
out." I expect I'll be able to change them on my daughter's account
notwithstanding the default settings for the system.
Any advice, even just links to relevant pages would be most
appreciated.
Best wishes,
Richard
