View 10 Replies View RelatedUsing WinXP-Pro-SP2 on a Dell XPS Gen2 running at 3.4GHz with 2GB RAM. Ever since I upgraded to SP2, command mode hasn't worked properly and it's driving me bonkers. Symptoms:
(1) Many of my BAT files no longer function properly. E.g. a simple BY.BAT with only EXIT in it does nothing.
(2) Every command entered, other than DOS built-ins, gets the response: 'C:Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file... and then sometimes the command executes and sometimes it doesn't.
(3) Good old 'DOSKEY' no longer works at all. I cannot get DOS to repeat the last entered command.....
I open the cd drive (for one of the CDs), double click on setup.exe, and get the following annoying message:
"The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."
However, I also have the option of pressing ignore. When I do, it does the exact same thing as close So I really don't have a choice of opening the program. I really would like to use these CDs.
I have tried using the windows compatibilaty tool, but still the same thing happened. How should I get them to work? Also, old files I download from the internet also have this problem.
I recently tried to reinstall windows xp, but the installation was interrupted and left me with a partially installed windows on my hard drive.

However, I have two hard drive (one for windows and programs and one for storage) and I don't know which one is which letter. How can I find this information, so that I don't accidentally wipe my storage drive?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been running an AMD 64 bit processor now for some time, but it really never occured to me to look into running a 64 bit operating system. That is, until yesterday.
My friend works for Convergys, a Microsoft call center and sent me a free copy of Windows XP Pro x64. I immediately put this thing on my hard drive and was totally impressed with the speed and stability etc, but then I looked into some of the downsides of running a x64 bit and it made me wonder if it was worth it. (I put my Windows XP Pro x32 back on in the meantime)
First of all, I just want to make sure I understand all of this, before I do commit. And, by the way, I don't want Vista x64!...Anyway, as far as I can understand so far, the x64 will run x32 bit applications, but does that mean every single x32 bit application I ever used will run on it. Will a defrag utility, Winamp, Acoustica CD and Label Maker, things of that sort run?
Anyone know a way to copy all the files from a disk and run the aplication with out the cd in the drive.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI cannot get a Hallmark Connections Card Studio program to install on my Win XP Pro computer. I keep receiving and "Application Error" pop-up that says: "CSTUDIO caused a General Protection Fault in module CSTUDIO. EXE at 0006.1176.Choose close. CSTUDIO will close." Then the installation process closes completely. Initially, I thought that it was just too old, as it is a Win 3.1 - 16 bit - program. However, it was successfully installed on another computer connected to my home network, which is also running Win XP Pro. My question, What could be blocking the installation on one computer but not the other?
