View 6 Replies View RelatedI am a computer enthusiast and I assemble my own PCs. I wanted to know how to brand the PC with custom System Manufacturer and System Model settings. I am aware of the OEMINFO.ini file but that only changes information in the Computer properties page when you right-click 'My Computer' and choose properties.But when you use dxdiag,the System Manufacturer and System Model read "To be filled by O.E.M".Could anyone please tell me how to go about changing these settings ? Changing the OEMINFO.ini file does not affect these values.OEM manufacturers like Dell, Sony have changed the settings on their products, so I'm sure it's possible.

I just purchased a new computer that came with XP Home SP2 and I tried to upgrade to XP Pro without SP2 and the system wouldn't let me because it says I have a newer version. My XP Pro disk is an upgrade version and I also have an XP2 disk to later upgrade Pro to Pro XP2.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an interesting upgrade dilemma.I had a PC at home with Windows 98. I legally bought in a store a Windows XP Pro SP1 upgrade disk 3 years ago to upgrade it. I eventually had Microsoft send me the free CD that upgrades to SP2.After 4 years, my PC completely died, motherboard failure. Being on a budget, I bought a PC with XP Home SP2 on it. I wanted to use my XP Pro disk to upgrade it (I would call Microsoft and explain the old PC was trashed, etc. to "reactivate"). But it says that I can't upgrade because the disk is an "older version", I presume because of the SP1 vs. SP2 issue.Is there any way I can do it with the disks I have?
View 4 Replies View RelatedNo more M.E.Im researching gathering info before i install. The new hard drive wont have any previous partition or format on it. Will i still be able to run "setup windows xp" from the disk ? & patition/format from there.I plan to use the NTFS format.The new hard drive is 120gb twice as much as i need. Im thinking to create two 60gb partitions. Any suggestions on partioning & what to do with the second partiton ? Maybe a bootable ghost copy.I have read suggestions about unplugging hardware devices prior to O.S. install. Like internet, printer, sound card, & video. In doing so the O.S. has a better chance for successful install. Any thoughts on that ? Hopefully it will come together smoothly. I have had some rough ones in the past.

I want to upgrade my OS from WIN 2000 Pro SP 4 to WIN XP Home SP 2. I have a retailer who offers this upgrade, but does not specify if you can upgrade from WIN 2000 Pro. In fact, they don't speciy what update options you have with this upgrade pakage (Form - To). I have e-mailed them asking if this upgrade will work for me. But, as yet, they haven't replied to my query. Will this this upgrade work for me?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been an XP Home SP1 user for quite a while now. I've been hesitant to upgrade to SP2, because I've heard that some common software does not work properly on SP2. Is there any truth to this? Should I stop worrying and just upgrade? Note that my typical usage includes Eudora email, Mozilla web browser,MS Office Pro 2003, some rudementary Eclipse/Java and Visual C++ programming, Norton AV 2005, and Adaware.Also of note is that I am about to change my Internet service from dial-up to DSL, so perhaps there are some firewall considerations.
View 3 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.
I have recently discovered that the version of XP-pro that I have is not "completely Legit". It appears that the person which I inherited the PC( amd 1.3gig 256ram 40gig hd ) from, installed a purchased beta version of XP pro sp-2............ The problem is that one of the recent auto up dates, self installes and restarts my machine overnight, unfortunately when I attempt to log on I get "" logon message: The system cannot log you on due to the following error:the program issued a command but the command length is incorrect . please try again or consult your system administrator. " the only way that I can can log on is to try to log on ,is in safe mode and use the last working configuration. moreover it appears this version has about 30-45 more working days of life left. Given all of the above I want to upgrade to a version of xp-home and not lose any of my programs, settings emails etc.

I successfully upgraded my Gateway from ME to XP Home editions the service paks, except there is a problem with my audio. The audio is scratchy and barely audible when I startup. When I "uncheck" the box "1 speaker digital" in the volume control menu, the sound is works fine not loud enough but ok. The problem is that when I shut down or researt the computer, that checkbox defaults with a check mark and next startup. Gateway says there is a conflict with the sound card and the hard drive and suggested that I download a driver I ALREADY had on there.I have been on the phone for almost one week with Microsoft, and they cannot seem to fix the problem either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Dell 1.4 8100 came with Windows ME. I have since added another hard drive, more Rambus memory (thanks for your kind words) and installed XP sp1 Home upgrade. Later I installed SP2 as well. I would like to do a CLEAN install of XP, but it doesn't seem to want to boot my upgrade disk or my ME disk. When I did RUN, it wouldn't let me install SP1 over SP2. Would uninstalling SP2 help?
View 18 Replies View RelatedWhile I wait to see if I get an answer on how I can fix my current problem, thought i would check on how I might completely relaod computer, just in case I don't get a fix. I have a HP Pavilion P3, it originally came with Windows ME, at a later date i installed an upgrade to Windows XP Home Edition. I have the original 3 disks (2 ea system recovery, and 1 application recovery), I also have the original XP Home upgrade disk with product key. I have already tried this once but it would not work-- I inserted disk 1 (hp system recovery) and booted the computer, after only a second or two the screen went blue and informed me the hard drive could not be found. I thought maybe it was because I was not using ME, so I installed the upgrade disk and booted. It began doing its thing then after loading several files it informed me of a windows error and it shut down windows.
