Windows xp looking for a good free new/used manual of fixes, troubleshooting, guides, etc.. HELP please

A real manual for Windows Vista/7 is going to be about 1200 pages long. If you want a Windows 7 basics type of guide I would suggest Windows 7 for dummies. If you want the product guide it is free for download http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4984

You are definitely using Windows XP as your operating system. Skype latest versions like 5.1 are not compatible with Windows XP. You need do download older versions to make Skype work on Your Windows XP. I recommend the version SKYPE V4.2.0.169. Try to download and install this.
Good Luck!

Only warning I have is AVG may interfere with Itunes. However, that problem may have been fixed in the past year. Check with Apple. They are aware of the conflict.
