View 1 RepliesWith this activation process, you cannot have xp(RETAIL) on more than one machine. I would like to remove it from one machine and then install in another. MS tech support told me that this copy of xp cannot get a license for more than one machine. I wish I knew that before. I would then have put it on the machine that I want it on now. Can it be removed and then installed on another nachine? Still only one machine licensed.

After the Windows logo appeared, received STOP error 7E, with no driver mentioned. (1st variable if needed is 0x0000006). Turned machine off, restarted. Same thing. Tried again, this time trying Safe Mode. I get the message "Setup cannot continue in Safe Mode, Click OK to restart".

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.
