Guys, it's kind of best not to download it (no offense VG, just pointing out some things)

KK, I downloaded it, and it says Windows 7 right?

What happens if you want to download something, and it says Windows XP 32-bit or something, but you don't know what version your XP is right?

If you accidentally a program not compatible with your system, it might crash! So I think it's a good idea to keep it as it is, so you won't screw up you computer. ;)

VG, How about you make the same thing, except let Windows 7 say the what type of XP your using?
