If you’re using openSUSE you want the openSUSE forums which are at [http://forums.opensuse.org/](http://forums.opensuse.org/) (This forum is for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server). If you post in the openSUSE forums I expect someone will be able to help you. It will help people to help you if you say which version of openSUSE you are using. Since you say you’re using Windows XP I’ll also advise that you check at [http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime](http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime) to see if the version of openSUSE you’re using is currently supported. If it’s not then asking for help with it in the openSUSE forums will result in people advising you to update to a currently supported version.

Hopefully you’re aware that Microsoft will cease to support Windows XP in April this year.
