Linux Mint “Cinnamon” is the answer to the problems Microsoft was causing me..
Once I get installed it, I found these programs eased my life:

xfburn - burns CD, DVD and Blu-Ray
DOSBox Emulator - to run your MS-DOS applications
XSane - image scanning program
MakeMKV - DVD and Blu-Ray ripper
HandBrake - Video conversion tool
VLC Media Player
Wine - for running Windows programs. Also get Wine-mono for the.NET applications.
VMWare Player - If you have something MeSsy Wine can’t handle.

I have no CLUE what it all means.

Very humbling. :-)

Thank you for the tips on going to Linux. I’m going to hang onto my Windows 7 system for as long as I can, but when I reach the end of that road, I’ll be switching over.
