peacepilgrim - with XP you're more or less stuck on 1.48. There are workarounds that may work today, but who knows if they'll work tomorrow.
One alternative is to replace XP with one of the plethora of Linux based systems, but before you do that, you might first want to read this post from Kovid ==>>
Calibre and Linux I don't think the situation has changed markedly since he wrote that.
Others will have differing opinions.
You should be able to find an ex-lease W7 system at the usual places for not much more than a Windows license. A new system won't cost much more, MS gives Windows away to OEM's if they configure Bing as default search - it can be easily unconfigured by the user.
