hi. thanks extremely for your kind and warm support and suggestions. virtual box needs powerful system and for this reason, i cant use it. how can i know about compatibility of version 5.2 with windows xp? i reported many bugs and also request to bugzilla, but unfortunately without resolve even only for one of them until now. whats your idea in this case? and also linux is suitable for programmers or at least for proffessional users. thanks again for your kindness and helping me for resolving my issues! God bless you all again and i pray devine mercy for you. On 6/29/16, Tom Davies <tomcecf@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi :) That would be a brilliant way to have it in the longer-term. I've not managed to get Virtualbox to use a proper hard-drive rather than it's own internal image of a drive but probably because i only had a very brief stab at it. There are many other ways, such as just using LibreOffice within Linux Mint (or whichever version ( = distro ) of Linux and forget about the whole Windows side (except for using the files that will still be on that side). A "dual boot" system would keep Windows available and almost unchanged but would give a menu at "boot up" to allow Nasrin to choose to use Mint (or whichever) and become familiar with it at her own pace. My main reason for using Virtualbox inside of Windows XP was meant to be a temporary thing. It would just to be to experiment with setting up accessibility tools within the OS that is within the Virtual Machine. All neatly still in a working and familiar system that CAN still talk to you and make some sort of sense. Moving on to a dual-boot system, or some-such would be a next step into Linux-land and away from Xp. Moving from Xp to Linux can be a gentle "migration" that keeps the option of retreating back into Xp available at all times. Microsoft prefers that people leap fearlessly into the void with absolutely no idea whether their new system will work or not. That has kept many people firmly chained to Xp. I prefer the gentler approach that Linux offers :)) It's one of the many reasons i am happy i made the journey. I still do use Windows but increasingly rarely.

If you can find a version of linux that you like and that works on your machine then you might not have to worry about upgrading to a newer machine. There are tons of noob-friendly "distros" such as Ubuntu, Mageia and many others listed at; http://distrowatch.com/ The list is in the 3rd column under the header and is the 2nd box down in that column. I am not sure which is "the best" for Accessibility issues such as screen-readers but i suspect that many people on this mailing list might be quite happy to give pointers or suggestions about things worth trying.

But things are not looking good for Windows XP sp3continuingas a supported OS for the project. The Engineering Steering Committee (ESC) "the developers" are aware, but decision to officially end support for Windows XP with the 5.1 release--that is to *not* seek work arounds that would be needed to continue supportforWindows XP at 5.2--has not been made. The problem on Windows XP sp3 (32-bit, as 64-bit XP sp2 is notsupported)has been that the cURL (libcurl.dll) required for LibreOffice to communicate with the Update services (since 5.0) and to the Error Reporting services (at 5.2) is not supported by Windows XP sp3. Bug tdf#100295 is already assigned a "Highest" priority and applies from 5.2.0beta2 forward. The 5.1 branch is impacted but not broken--but itcouldbe the end of the line for Windows XP sp3 users. There are several ways this could be worked around--up to the ESC, butitis unlikely that cURL would be removed, or Error Reporting not implementedat5.2. So unfortunately at this moment in the development cycleLibreOfficewill not launch on Windows XP Sp3. I just checked the draft "Release notes" for 5.2 (link below), and thusfarno mention of cURL support on XP SP3, nor a description of the newErrorReporting mechanism. But that is common as we are some time away fromthefinal release.

Or she might want to wait a couple of weeks until the standard version of Linux Mint 18 has been released (I personally recommend the Cinnamon desktop). In any event, when that is done, she should have no problem installing VirtualBox on that machine, and then installing her XP clone on VirtualBox. LibreOffice can then be installed directly on Linux Mint.... Henri
