View 7 RepliesAfter installing .Net Framework 1.1 and its Service Pack 1from Windows Updates this morning, I found some errors in the Application section of Event Viewer. I can't find much information about them and what little I found I didn't really understand. Could someone please tell me if I need to do anything? They are:

Description:
Updates to the IIS metabase were aborted because IIS is either not installed or is disabled on this machine. To configure ASP.NET to run in IIS, please install or enable IIS and re-register ASP.NET using aspnet_regiis.exe /i. For more information, see Help and Support Center at.....
I had no idea what IIS was and whether I ought to have it, so I followed the link. This led to a "Sorry, no further information" message. I searched the Knowledge Base and found KB 555150, "How to add support for ASP.NET in Internet Information Services 5 and 5.1". This then pointed me to KB 308192, "How to configure Windows 2000 as a Web server".
I have an old HP Pavilion (A300N) that I purchased at retail some years ago. It came pre-installed w/ XP and a recovery partition in order to re-load the machine. I've recently re-loaded from the recovery partition, but darn if there isn't just gigs of unwanted software on the drive that came along for the ride when I recovered. This is clearly an OEM install of XP, and there is a Windows Product Key stiker on the case of the machine.
Will the OEM product key work if I re-install XP from a retail installation CD? I would be re-installing on the same box, so same internal components, etc. Seems like this should work, but I'd like to get an opinion from the experts here before I invest the time. Having the old XP box available in a clean state is important to me for other backup and redundancy issues here at home.
Can I copy the data of remote desktop to my Local machine.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI don't have an x64 machine, just a 32-bit Core 2 Duo. So, I don't know why I can't run 16-bit applications and DOS programs. Whenever I try to run something made for Windows 3.x or a DOS application, I get "NTVDM.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvienence..." Is it corrupt or what? This is a brand-new machine. I need to run several old MS-DOS applications and they won't run. COMMAND.COM but not CMD), EDIT.COM, QBASIC, they all bomb out with the error.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm almost done building a new machine for a friend. He's not keen on all the hassle of reinstalling software on the new machine then adding all the personal touches again.I wondered if it might be possible to take the HDD out of his existing machine - giving him two HDDs, and making this transplanted drive the master drive and renaming it C: and renaming the new HDD to E:To my way of thinking, the new machine should boot up from the transplanted drive and boot the OS (WinXP), which should find and install the new hardware in the new machine then continue to run as if it was the old but with the faster CPU and bigger RAM of the new machine.This would obviously save heaps of time reinstalling WinXP, Office, Antivirus plus backed up data, emails etc. etc. etc.

View 5 Replies View Relatedjust recently my XP machine seems to be possessed! The menus and web pages are jumping around on their own, can't figure out why this is happening. Everytime I open a web page, open a explorer window, or even try and use the run menu, the menus, scroll and drop downs just jump back and forth between choices, it is even happening when I open outlook and try and read emails, I can't because it keeps scrolling randomly back and forth. it is even happening when I open any and all programs, like when I open wmp or winamp, it just jumps around like someone is playing with everything! Do I have some weird virus, or did I perhaps disable something and not know it? I have been a tech for years, and I am stumped on this one, and it's my own machine!

I have just re-built a friends machine and am now just using windows update to update XP and everything else. I have no problems getting the small security updates but i now need SP1 and/or sp2. The SP wizard begins and starts inspecting the machine, then as soon as its starts creating a SP1 or SP2.cab file the machine freezes. Any ideas why this is happening? The machine had SP2 on it before it needed re-building.

As PC's are retired from service, can the XP license be transferred to another machine? If so, how? If not, why not? It would seem that legally, if I own 20 legal copies of an OS, I ought to be able to run 20 copies on 20 PC's, regardless of which 20 PC's.
