Attention all windows xp users: Microsoft is ending support at 0:00 hours on Wed. 4/09/14 and this means your computers will be at risk for viruses and other harmful software. The best thing to do is to upgrade to a new OS Or limit use on the internet. If you don't have the money to buy a new computer or a new OS then I suggest a Linux OS. Linux type operating systems (OS) do not have many Viruses or many spyware software. Many government computers Still run windows xp and the U.S. government have tried to get Microsoft to extend the End of Support Date. Tell Microsoft your opinion and try for a last minute chance to extend the End Of Support date.

Don't get Linux Mint, it's a piece of crap because it's Linux and ROBLOX doesn't support it. Get Windows 7 or something to replace it.

1. You should have antivirus software, so that shouldn't be a problem.
2. Microsoft will not extend the date.
3. Linux can't run Roblox or most programs that people use on Windows.
4. Installing a new operating system can be dangerous for users who don't know what they're doing.
5. This is not a technical support question.

I have tried the workarounds and they do not work in the slightest. They are also designed for older versions of Roblox, so they are useless anyways.

Excuse me? I have every right to talk about this. You clearly haven't tried to install Roblox in Linux recently, because the last time I tried (which was about a month ago) it didn't work at all, just like the other times I've tried to do it over the past two years.
If you did magically manage to get it to work, however, feel free to tell me how you did it, because I would love to know! Seriously!

For me Roblox just runs a little slow. I use Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I'm fine. Roblox is slow because my computer is 12 years old. I don't need a work around.

People still using Windows XP. LISTEN!

Since Microsoft is no longer supported Windows XP there maybe a lot
of hackers that could easily get into your computer. So you might want to
get a new or upgrade your computer
