I’m running an up to date OS but I got a blank page with palemoon browser which is based off an old version of firefox. If I use a new version of firefox, I get thru just fine.

WinXP is kinda risky to surf with anymore. Might think about making the move to linux.

lxle is lightweight
zorin aka zorinos is a good replacement
lubuntu is another lightweight one

Most all versions of linux can be set up as dual boot. If you’ve got some hard drive space to spare, linux will install beside itself beside windows. Then when you start the computer, you choose between linux or windpws. It’s best to run disk defragmenter on windows before installing linux beside it.

Thanks. Sadly this is not my computer but a work computer so I have no way to make changes.

The browser is up to date but as XP support is no more, it’s an ESR version (Extended Support Release)
