I currently have Windows 98 on my computer. I got the disc today for Windows XP Professional and plan to install that onto my computer and get rid of 98.

I was wondering how i can keep these songs without them being deleted?

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have heard when attempting to upgrade not clean install a new os. For example the whole win98 to w2k doesnt fly good because of the fat32 to ntfs deal. so what about upgrading w2k pro with ntfs to xp pro with ntfs? is this a good thing to do now a days or is it still better to just perform a clean install over my existing os. I really would like to keep my stuff intact, but I dont want a xp upgrade. So what type of issues have you guys had upgrading w2k to xp pro?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just built my first computer and I don't have an OS yet. I do have 2 copies on Win XP Home Edition that I found that I may or may not have installed yet.I was going to buy the Win 7 Professional Upgrade online from digital river. It comes with a download for your computer and a disk kit for 13 dollars more that they ship to you. Thing is, this will be a CLEAN INSTALL on a brand new terabyte hard drive. I have read about people doing clean installs with the DISK of Win 7 Upgrade Media, but it seems too complicated. I also know that the best way to upgrade Win XP to Win 7 was to do a clean install and backup your files. But im not going to have anything stored on Win XP.I want to install Win XP Home Edition,connect to the internet, download the Win 7 upgrade media. And install that.
Can anyone who uses the Windows XP Professional 64 bit Edition OS,give me there opinions on it. What it is like compared to the 32 bit version. Any comments regarding your experience with the OS will be welcome.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I restart the computer, it goes to a screen that gives me 2 options. Windows XP Home, which is what I use and Windows XP Professional Setup.I dont know how the Professional Setup got on there but it is always highlighted as the selection, so if I reboot and go away from the computer it goes into the Setup which doesnt work, and then I have to reboot again. I;ve never had this until recently, and need to know how to get rid of the Professional Setup one so I can just use regular XP. I've done a search for the setup so i could delete it but nothing came up.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using Windows XP Professional.When I reboot my computer, Windows tries to load.It gets to the point of the sound of Windows booting and the default landscape view; but won't go any further.None of the program icons show and the tray at the bottom of the screen will not come up.If I try to start the program in Safe Mode, the same thing happens.It "hangs up" at the same point.Yesterday, I ran Spybot on my computer.I had several spyware problems and deleted them.Did not reboot until today when I then had the problem described above.Can you tell me anything I can do from the DOS prompt to resolve this problem as I cannot get Windows to load properly?
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy OS is XP Professional. I rebooted my PC & when I got to the login screen, I press Ctrl-Alt-Del. I go to the password screen & enter my password. XP then displays 'Loading your personal settings'. after a few seconds, it displays 'closing network connections' & 'saving your settings' & goes back to the login screen asking me to press ctrl-alt-del to login. This loop is happening whether I try to log to the domain or try to login as stand alone. If I enter wrong password XP says so & ask me to enter correct password. I am able to access my PC through another computer though & check the hard disk for any virus no virus found.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI built a new computur and now that its up and running I'd like to get some of the apps from my old computer on to the new computer. Trouble is some of the install disks have been lost/misplaced since the old computer was 6 years old. I saw with XP you can transfer the contents of an old HD to a XP setup but it seems to suggest that you do this while you are installing XP not afterwards. Is it possible to transfer these applications to the new computer?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgrade my xp home service pack 1 to professional service pack 2 using the upgrade option.now that I've upgraded, there are several things wrong with my system that I can't seem to fix:
1. Sometimes during shutdown windows hangs at the "saving your settings" dialog, I have to push the power button to have it power off.
2. Right clicking any files (on the desktop, in explorer, and even shortcuts in the start menu) will cause the system to lock up. I have to end task explorer.exe and restart it to get windows back. Special right click menus display without any problems (ie: my computer, recycle bin, desktop, start button)
3. Going into control panel > network connections will lock up the windows.
4. going into internet options > connections locks up just the internet options window.
I've tried uninstalling as many programs I don't need. A reformat is my LAST resort.
