Aug 15, 2009I was going to make a new partition with MCE 2005 that I got with my computer. If I make a new partition and install MCE 2005, would I still be able to access XP Pro (like how you can change between operating systems on a Mac). I don't want to reformat and install MCE 2005 all by itself because I've had to reformat 3 times in the past year and I don't have the time to reinstall all my programs a 4th time. I just want to have 2 different OS on my system that I can change between...I'd use XP Pro 99% of the time, and then I'd reboot and switch to MCE 2005 when I needed Movie Maker and Media Center. Is it possible to change like that though?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs SP1 Needed Before Installing SP2?
Jul 15, 2005I have Win XP Home Ed.I know I should have the Service Packs installed.However, the individual security updates that were offered are all installed. I decided to get SP2 and ordered the CD after my auto update would show that on a list to be downloaded. After I received the SP2 CD, I checked for new updates by
turning on the auto updater. It showed SP2 on the download window.I went to the Windows Update Website and it showed that I needed SP1. That is confusing because it showed only SP2 on the list a couple of weeks prior to this.So can I just go ahead and install SP2 from my CD, or do I have to install SP1 first?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSP3 All Java Updates Needed?
Nov 28, 2008The C drive on my WinXP Pro SP3 desktop has < 14% free space. I'm building a new system and am using the current desktop as my production system. Since this small % of free space occasionally causes WinXP Pro to complain, I'm analyzing which applications that are disk space hogs can be uninstalled. One likely candidate is Java, which consumes ~ 1 GB of disk space in the form of several updates. Are all Java Updates needed or just the most recent ones?

Aug 18, 2009I've recently switched from Linux because it overheated my laptop. I installed Win XP SP 3. I partitioned my hdd in only 2 primary partitions, c and d. I don't know how to create the swap memory, as I did at Linux installation (at the first partioning). It appears that Windows did it already, because at Virtual Memory it says: minimum 2024 and maximum 4096 if I remember well, and allocated curently it is 2024MB. I don't know if it is ok, I didn't touch anything here. My RAM is 4 GB in Bios, but windows recognizes only 3 GB.

Aug 27, 2009I know that many viruses and other malware, as part of their attack, delete all restore dates so that the user has no date to return to. Is there a way to back this info up on removable media? It would seem that, after an attack, one could copy this back onto the main harddrive and then be able to use the System Restore function. If so, what's the filename(s) where this info is stored?

Repair Needed / Bon Echo Started Crashing
Jun 17, 2006I'm using an HP Pavilion notebook with XP Home that's about three months old, and have been having some problems with it here and there for maybe two/three weeks. Programs were crashing, not opening, some audio problems, etc. I used Advanced System Optimizer & TuneUp Utilities '06 to clean the registry and things were actually ok for a while.A few days ago, however, Bon Echo started crashing a bit and I had more problems with other programs. Then, after starting up the PC, XP would get to the screen just before showing the account logons and it would suddenly restart, then just loop that process.

Oct 27, 2009I was having problems with my computer and a BSOD that pointed to my hd. I decided to reinstall XP but then decided to try a repair first. The repair seems to work to an extent as pc starts fine now and seems to load normally etc. However upon starting I noticed the desktop had reverted back to default, my programs weren't listed in the start menu and favorites were gone. I was guessing that it wiped my hd like I had done a re-install. So I went to copy some of my backed up files but when I went into My Computer I see that all my files are still there under C:Documents&SettingsOwner like before. But also under Documents & Settings are these folders now.
