Your computer is running the Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, or ME operating system. These operating systems are no longer supported by Microsoft as of July of 2006. What this means is that newly released software is no longer guaranteed to work on your computer. It also means that Microsoft will no longer fix bugs and other security problems with the operating system on your computer, which means your system will be more susceptible to viruses and spyware. Also you can no longer buy a new off the shelf printer that will work with it. Many other newer hardware and software items will no longer work with it.

It may be possible to upgrade your system to a newer version of Windows, but it is probably more wise to consider shopping for a newer computer.
