After a whole day re-installing a Windows XP on my father's computer (a version with SP3 already included) and after that, to pass the files and data from the old one onto the new one (the wizard tool to do just that failed twice to produce the necessary data set, on the old instalation, to be migrated on the new one -- so I was left with "plain old approach of doing it by hand!...) finaly I have it almost done and I'm tired and going to rest for a while.
Tomorrow (today, realy...) is supposedly the day to return to Lisbon but I have, yet, too much to do!
