Excuse me my ignorance, but is there any reason at all to run WinXP these days? Have you looked into running a linux distro? No offence meant.
I have a dedicated device to this ... it run many other "softwares from the old world".
I don't want change the OS (that it don't crash after 60 days ... and the others software, too) because of the bitcoin core.
That why i return to the v0.9.1 ... that it don't crash at all.
But, not a problem for me ... just an "under the hood" problem for the others (the dev.).
I understand, too, that winxp is not supported and depreciated.
It's the life.
