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?

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.

View 14 Replies View RelatedComputer 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
