Hello hope someone can help I'm pulling my hair out! I have an old laptop running XP with XBMC Frodo the problem is when the laptop loads it runs fine till I start XBMC and the laptop cuts off. I have to boot back up, I have tried older versions the same and as you will no new versions no longer support XP. I could install VISTA but I thought ask first.
Thanks for any help Mark

If it's only for xbmc I would say install openelec or xbmcbuntu

it's complete wipe of your current XP. So it's a fresh start. But if you only use the laptop to run XBMC it's the best you can get and free
