What Operating System Do You Use?

Beware of obsolete operating systems

MLXchange is a highly sophisticated online software application. Just like programs that run directly on your computer, MLXchange has system requirements. For MLXchange to function properly, you must use the Internet Explorer 7.0 browser on a computer running Windows XP Service Pack II or Vista.

Sometimes our Help Desk takes calls from subscribers working with Windows 98 or Windows ME, but unfortunately these outdated operating systems cannot run all the features of MLXchange. If you are running one of these old operating systems, our Help Desk Professionals will be unable to help you troubleshoot technical issues.

In July of 2006, Microsoft released the last security patch and software update for Windows 98 and Windows ME, and they ceased supporting those operating systems. If you still run an old operating system, not only will you have problems working with MLXchange, but you will certainly have trouble with other current applications, and because there hasn't been a security update in over 18 months, you leave your system vulnerable to viruses and attacks.
