Windows XP Software Catalog

Most (but not all) software available on Computer Systems Lab Windows XP systems are listed here.

Research Windows XP machines can have different software configurations. If an application listed here is not available on your machine, you should first check if you can add it through the CSL configuration utility, which has an icon in the tray section of the status bar. If the application doesn't show up as available, please inquire to the lab to see if it can be installed on your machine, or if our documentation needs to be updated.
