I am currently running XP home edition sp2 but when I download certain
programs like IE 8, ITunes, etc...the software program terminates
installation and tells me that the program is not compatible with my OS. Some
of these programs report that I am using Windows 2000, which I am not. When I
check my OS version on my computer it says I am using XP which was installed
when I bought the computer. Any suggestions as to why this is happening? How
do I fix it? Thank-you!
 
Re: programs report wrong OS
