Win XP 32bit or sudo&nano crazy

Hi all,and salud from Texas.
Been trying for several hour to get the maker startup app to function on my old Acer laptop.
First tryed to in lubuntu, but after reading about how I need to go into root procedures and the nano thing and start scratching the underbelly figured it was best to go to windows.
(by the way, if anyone has a simple way to root lubuntu at login would like to know, run puppylinux as root all the time and don't have near these headaches, specially that sadistic nano thing.)
So open up windows XP, downloaded the only start app for windows. Seemed to be doing good, windows XP was looking for a driver for the rambo hardware, so pointed it to the dll in the start app folder. Windows appears to have loaded the drivers from there and it now shows up as "3d Printer powered by RAMBo (COM4)".
So I figure things are going pretty well, got to the startup app folder and double click on the icon for -M2 Quick Start.exe- then I get a message pop up "The procedure entry point inet_ntop could not be located in the dynamic link library WS_32.dll."
So I figure it's probably missing something in the dll stuff. I tryed to execute the -dpinst.exe- in the driver folder but it gives a message "dpinst.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
At the moment I'm kinda stuck with a printer (nice M2 printer by the way!) I cant interface with this old laptop, maybe I need the old drivers for the 32 bit windows XP.
