The problem you are having with your windows is very likely to be the fact
that they are single pane. Remember that condensation occurs because
moisture in the air is finding a cold surface to collect on. Showers,
baths, cooking and cleaning all add moisture to the air. In the winter you
are fighting a losing battle against condensation because the surface of the
single pane window is too cold.
I'd figure out a way to replace the windows. You might even find that there
are tax credits available to help you pay for them. You'll also discover
what a joy new windows can be. They work smoothly, look great, save energy
(both summer and winter) and reduce road noise inside the house.

Good luck and hope this is of some help,
