This is important to know if you’re changing configuration parameters to try and solve a problem. To start the process and reload the configuration file, you have to use restart.”

Hi Chris,

Sorry to pour water on your enthusiasm but Raspbian XP is an April fool prank! That’s why all the links are dead.
Trying to run Windows on a Pi is a bit of a lost cause. Your best chance is to install Wine but you will almost certainly need an X86 emulator as well. Whilst Wine works fine on an X86 based Linux PC, the Pi uses the ARM architecture, hence the need for an emulator to support many programs. You may well find that the functionality you want is available in Linux software.
