I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, and this seemed the most relevant.
When I attempt to download Ti-Connect onto my computer (Windows XP) a warning message comes up. It says that it could create a serious error in my computer. I was wondering if this is standard and Ti-Connect is compatible with Windows XP or there really could be a problem upon downloading. Thanks! |

| It's standard with Windows XP. If you're downloading it from education.ti.com, then there's nothing to worry about. (Moved to Free Computer Tech Support Provided.) |

| It should be. If it says this program is not approved for XP or something, just click Accept or Continue. I have encountered no problems with it, and I have XP. |

NTFS gained a new attribute in SP2; files downloaded from the internet (via IE, Outlook, MSN Messenger et al.) are marked as such. When you try and run an application with this attribute set, it pops up a dialog warning you about the risks of running such an application.
Is this the dialog you refer to? |

| Heh I just ran into this yesterday when my sister was installing it. It gave both of us a good laugh. |

Yeah, when I downloaded TI-Connect on my XP, it did the same thing too, but it turned out to be a preemptive security measure XP is built with. In other words, don't worry about it  |
