Yes, windows 7 was a learning experience. Still not entirely comfortable with it. :)

Now I'm getting a msg. that says it's running out of disk space for HP Recovery. I have no idea what it means or what to do about it. I'm afraid to delete anything for fear of messing things up.

Google Chrome for me. It's worry free of any bad sites and you can sync everything in one. From docs, pics, music, email, blogs, it's all in one place. I don't use my internet provider email at all. I use Gmail. No worry at all about email virus. and no Spam to deal with.
I don't think XP is supported anymore.

I think you'll like Windows 7 after you have it a month or so. We have XP on one that's not on the internet any more, Vista on the laptop and Windows 7 on the main computer and I bounce back and forth between them, all the time without any problems and I'm not a geek, so it will all work out for you.
The only thing I didn't like on Windows 7 was the Windows Live mail because I lost all my contacts three times with it. Luckily I had them backed-up, so I went to Windows Office Outlook 2007 and just got the email part of the package. It works a lot like Outlook Express and I like it too, now. Easier than Windows Live Mail, for sure.
