That is true. Some applications are so poorly written they turn off a lot of stuff in the Windows operating system while you are running them. Some of them are so bad that you have to reboot the computer to get out of them. In fact, in the early days of computing, Microsoft produced such programs. In order to get Microsoft programs to work on our computers we had to disassemble them and fix the bugs. Microsoft started by having a number of people doing free research and development for them and Microsoft made the money. Do not buy any more programs from the company that writes such applications. You do not want to do free R&D for them.

In general XP is a good operating system. Some programs will make it crash. Other programs will make the help function unavailable.
