MCE Version 2005 On Box But Under My Computer Version 2
Jul 6, 2005
Probably a stupid question but it's bugging me. I just bought a new computer with xp mce 2005 installed. I noticed though that when I right click on my computer it says it's version 2002 service pack 2. Is that normal?
I'm struggeling to get an new "my own" version of XP installed to my old working laptop. My old working had anther XP installed, but I tried to remove it before installing my own. The problem is; while installing it comes with an error saying that the my version doesn't fit to the original version...how do I clean the laptop fully? I'm using a tool called fdisk, aefdisk, but probably not correct
I have bought in Hong Kong a Asus netbook, wrongly I was given one which hasnt been uploaded with the English support version.I cant read Chinese, so I cant get through to the stages of the Chinese windows xp menu to use the Asus xp support dvd version. But I need to know, at which stage I have to use the Asus xp support dvd version. Without being able to do so, I cant use my net book.Could anyone give me a foolproof stage by stage guide how to overcome this problem, without getting the netbook locking me out.
Does anyone know when the 64 bit version of XP will be coming out? I know there is a beta test version floating around, but I was wondering about an official release.
I tried re-installing Windows XP (for reasons I which not to explain), and I when I did, I got the following error message:The version of Windows on this CD is older than on this computer. Installation could be complete.What do I do?
I recently learned that I can not use the upgrade copy of XP Pro that I own and used to upgrade from XP Home on my Dell Notebook computer.Dell is sending me a full version of XP Pro so I can format and load it.I registered the Upgrade version of XP Pro with Microsoft. How do I unregister the copy so I can give it to my Brother since I not longer need it and he currently has XP Home and an HP notebook?
I know you all are always up to date onto personal computer things and news about it.But lets fly up the imaginations, and wonders.Lets say, There's a new windows version, the newest, the 2008.What would you hope that in that version would appear?What hopes you have! what do you think it will appear.
My computer has been ok until I downloaded an update version of my Video Card. Now it is very slow and it freezes up until I press Alt/Control/Del. Then I have to close a window. I will work then.
On Friday, I allowed the computer to install a number of security upgrades as well as a malicious software removal tool from MS. Since that reboot, the following things have happened: Got warning about failure of write back cache Blue screen about kernel that MS reported was due to bad HD. Finally able to boot into safe mode and found no HD errors. Thought registry corrupted, so tried to redo with a reload on top of the XP Pro but the program said it is older than that on computer (probably SP2) and won't let me reload.
I came home today and found my computer had turned from the sleek silver windows xp theme into the windows classic version. I also have no sound and in the control panel it isn't picking up any audio devices. I cant change the theme back to windows xp in properties either it says im using Windows XP (modified). PLEASE HELP ME! All i know is that the power went out at some point today (about 7 hours ago)
Computer has been acting up quite a lot lately, and I'm getting to the point to where I'd prefer to backup what I need, format, and reinstall Windows XP. The only problem is, however, that I don't have an XP cd, seeing as how I got it installed when I gave it to our computer tech to build my computer a while back. My CD key is for an oem version, which I'm guessing is what he used.
I am running XP SP2 with all patches installed. I was wondering if the free version of AVG antivirus will work with an OEM version of windows I am running? I thought I read it would not but I am not at all sure. I am currently running Norton but it will expire soon.
I had my hard drive replaced and a new install of everything. My concern is how do you find out what version of Java you have on the computer? I went to Add/Remove and it is not there. I remember seeing it somewhere but can't recall if its the old Add/Remove on the other drive or I just happened to run into it. I went into Windows, Java, and it told me nothing about the version. Has a bunch of zipped files and don't want to open anything that I don't know about. I have 3 folders, classes, trustlib, and packages. Nothing shows what version, if its even installed. I know you need the new update for it, if its not installed now, is it needed?
I received a message that I should update my computer to a 64 bit version rather than use the 32 bit version. I am not sure what this is or what it means. How will I benefit by updated to a higher version? I have Windows XP Media Centre Edition version 2002 service pack 2 AMD Athlon 64 X 2 dual core processor 3800.
Does specviewperf 10 install the 32bit or 64bit version XP x64?It doesn't give an option to choose which to install so i'd except it to install the x64 version but the start menu folder contains a "SPECviewperf10.0" and a "SPECviewperf10.0 x64" folder in it but the shortcuts for any of the tests in either folder all use the same batch file :So how do I find out if its running 32 or 64 and how would I get the other one to run as I want to run both the 32bit and the 64bit version under XP x64.
My motherboard died, I changed it from a Pentium 4 to a Core Duo. The guy that did the installation told me he would need to update Windows. Fine.The thing is, he installed a new instance of XP Professional instead of updating/repairing the one I had. Now I boot on a clean Windows that has no access to my apps. Sure, I can go to, say, the Photoshop dir and click on the exe, but it won't run since its dll's and stuff are all on the old Windows' installation.I have 175Gb of apps and data in the HDD and I don't want to wipe it, especially since I don't have the original CDs of many of my apps anymore. Plus there's years of downloaded stuff I don't want to search,download and fine-tune all over again.So, my question is, how can I kill this new version and fix my old one so it does work; make the new one work with all my apps so I can kill the old one; or in any way have ONE XP on my machine, that actually runs my apps, without having to reinstall them all (some I can't even if I wanted/had to)So I have a PC with TWO Windows in it and I can't use either for anything I need. Both are in the same partition, only the second one was installed in WINDOWS. There's no dual-boot option or anything, my original windows is just not being accessed.I have tried to fix the old Windows with my XP CD, but it goes for the new one and I can't make it fix the old, useful one.
I recently started going to a few classes at my local Community Colege and a class on computer literacy is giving away copies of Windows XP Pro. All interested students sign a EULA and we were given a copy on cd with key code.Most of the other students used it to upgrade from prior os. I was told it is a full copy, so I allowed a clean install with it formating my hard drive to NTFS from the old fat32.Anyway, everytime I use Internet Explorer it gives error code " duplicate memory at line 945.
Abort, retry, Ignore?" No mater what I hit it eithr repeats or says " Windows Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and will now close" and gives option to send error report.So, I tried installing Service Pack 2 from a cd that I had ordered from Microsoft. I got the following error "Service Pack 2 cannot update a checked(debug) system with a a free(retail) version of service pack2 or vice versa"Is there anything I could do to straighten this out? What is a checked(debug) system anyway?I did download a debug version of service pack 2 but Internet explorer still gives errors. Auto Update will download updates, but they all FAIL. Anything I can do? I would like to know what debug system is and if it is even worth having.
I bought a oem version of windows home xp sp2 and i want to know if i can install it on both my pc's they both connect to the internet through a router? or will i need to buy two copys of it to be legal on both pc's
I have recently been shopping for a copy of XP Pro SP2 for a new system I am building. I have seen OEM and "Academic" versions that can often run a bit less money than the retail versions.Suddenly I am receiving e-mails from people or companies saying they have a version of XP Pro that is full, complete, allows upgrades, has a COA and License Key AND allows UNLIMITED INSTALLS! The description is as a "DSP" or "Commercial" version described as a version sold to big companies or was given away at a special programmers conference. These offers often include a copy of Office 2003 or Office XP that has the same features as the XP Pro.My question is this: Is there such a thing as the DSP or Commercial version of XP Pro SP2 and MS Office? If such a thing is real are the features being described correct (i.e. unlimited installs and upgrades allowed)? Why isn't this discussed more if it is real or, especially, if it is a scam?
going to build a new PC and need a windows disc...was going to get a windows home edition......is it available in 64 bit version???if not what should i get...(NOT VISTA!)
I have Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002; Service Pack 2; Pentium 4; 496 MB. I went into my add/remove programs and I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (and its Hotfix). Now, I am trying to understand what the .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 are for. Which version of the .NET Framework should I have.
we built our new gaming rig and would like to install WinXP Pro on it. I have seen at the Newegg site that there is a $40.- difference between WinXP Pro and the 64bit version. With this configuration, do you think that it's better to go with WinXP Pro 64 bit?
Is there such a thing? Just myself as Administrator. No Guest and no other user accounts, and with full security options.The option to add another language could be useful.
