Simple.
Switch to Linux immediately.
It's free and can be configured to be similar to a WinXP desktop.
Seriously, go read about Linux, do the research, and see if Linux (Mandrake/Mandriva Linux in particular) is what you need. Tired of Windows crashing? Lose the installation disk and don't have the original receipt? Tired of having a bullseye painted on your computer and your most important files that you need to work at risk?
I'm on week 4 of my Linux experience so far. It's nice to have a computer that doesn't crash anymore. OpenOffice does enough to make the transition away from MS Office easy. If you can't live without it, there are programs that create a Windows environment (without all the garbage) that allow many of your Windows programs to work in Linux.
So think about that next time your computer goes down with a virus and all your meticulous work is lost.
