I tried the latest version a few months back. It wouldn't work. I
found a forum wherein others also were looking for a version that
worked with XP. A poster gave the URL I posted here. The version
worked. Judging by what others said in the forum, I think this is the
latest ver. that works with XP. Whatever...it suits me.

The Black Hats have yet to bring anyone into court with evidence they
got by cracking PGP, TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt. Although I did read one
case years back where some s.o.b ex-husband gave his ex's password to
the Black Hats and they got her that way. Watta prick.
I keep up with some the "experts" on this matter, especially Bruce
Schneier. However, I would never trust any of the multitude of
encryption files floating around out there. Using AES doesn't stop the
Black Hats from cracking poorly written software no matter what
encryption scheme it uses. However, even much of the good stuff can be
"opened" up because of poor password selection. That's why I always
use multi-mulit word passphrases with misspelled words, some
capitalization, some punctuation and numbers. Screw any Dictionary
Attack.
What I don't worry about is gov't Black Hats going after my comps. I
have nothing on there of the slightest interest to them. My worries
are about burglars or dishonest computer repair shops. I worry that
burglars just might know some computer hackers or crooked repair shop
that might give a try at my encrypted files, hoping for credit card,
bank info, etc. Matter of a fact, I have always worried about any
repair shop I brought my computers into for repair. However, I am damn
sure these clowns have not compromised PGP, TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt.
Remember, even Snowden trusted some of these encryption programs.
