But in the end, it's worth is a you won't be stuck trying to run things that won't run or won't run well enough. Sigil and Calibre are two programs that do run better with Windows 7 or 8.1. It's never going to get better. It's only going to get worse.
XP IS DEAD! Time to move on even if that means having to buy a new computer or upgrade the one you have.

In case the objective of this thread has eluded you: We know. In fact, I strongly advised against sticking with XP in the opening post.
And henceforth we shall restrain ourselves to non-redundant discussion, for example, allowing people to discuss their efforts at doing inadvisable things
with full knowledge of the situation. Because everyone deserves the right to experiment
if they so desire.
Thank you for bringing up this very salient point. But from now on, please restrict yourself to discussing the
technical aspects of the ideas in the OP.
