Hello, from an XP laptop

So, I got my HP NX6310 laptop up running, also this is my first blog post lol 

Running Opera as the browser for now, was thinking of running k-meleon.
It did run and now it doesn't anymore, even when reinstalled.
I am starting to think that the OS some-how got corrupt since certain programs throw the same error.
Though I might try to upgrade to Vista later on.
Right now I am just typing this and listening to a Manowar cd.

Anyways, how are y'all?
