Sep 5, 2009If I use any program other than windows explorer to check my HD space, it says about 20 gigs left, windows right now says 0kb on both c, d and e partitions. I run off e at the moment.A few days ago I deleted lots of files and just made a huge 15 gig txt file because I was bored... then I deleted the txt file and the space didnt change (I made sure it was deleted, I know the recycle bin doesnt do its job) and as the space didnt change I used a program called Rollback RX to rollback my HD to a few days ago. so I got my deleted files back (from before the txt file) and checked windows says I am running out of space.

Jun 29, 2006I currently have 13.0 GB of used space and 5.58 GB of free space. I would like to get more free space.
My computer is about 2 years old. In those two years, I had to re-install Windows XP and everything else on my computer...for reasons unknown...I recently performed a New Installation of Windows XP on my computer. I don't have alot of things installed on my computer. The total space all the programs in my Add and Remove programs file takes up is only 1GB. Since I had to start over and re-install everything and my programs only add up to 1GB, Shouldn't I have more free space ?
Upgrading From Dot-net 1.1 To 2.2 Or 3.5
Apr 22, 2010I really don't understand much about dot-net; but, I am up against a real problem running a certain program that is currently using dot-net 1.1. I won't mention the program by name as I don't want to side-track the thread into troubleshooting a particular Windows App.
Tech support said that an error message we were getting indicated a dot-net problem. He suggested his program should run on dot-net 1.1, 2.2 or 3.5. He further suggested to try uninstalling and reinstalling 1.1, which I did to no avail. Problem is when I try to install 2.2 or 3.5, I get an error message saying there is no qualifying product on my system for the "upgrade".
So, how do I get 2.2 or 3.5 to install. I've read a dozen ambiguous and unclear web pages and tried downloading and installing four of what I thought was the dot-net installer.
Windows XP SP3 and all available updates. This is a freshly formatted and installed system that has not been on the 'net except for updates running on an older Dell socket 478 with Celeron 2.8-GHz processor and 512 RAM.

Feb 19, 2005Are there any important things I should know before getting my new Windows XP computer, especially security- or virus-wise? It seems that every new virus is made for XP, and that XP gets the lion's share of the security holes, so I'm a little daunted by moving up from my old Windows 98 computer, but otherwise excited about getting a great new computer for a good deal.

Jul 23, 2005I'm finally getting around to upgrading from Win98Se to XP pro. I've run into a snag. Here is the blue screen error message I've found:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and **** (I wrote this down by hand and this word is unintelligible)
Run Chkdsk /f to check for drive corruption and restart the computer.There is some tech information as well:
***Stop: 0x0000007B)0x898863C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000,0x00000000
I've check for viruses with Panda online and there are none. I have three hard drives, two are internal and have never given me a problem and third is an internal adapted to USB. It is completely disconnected now. I have run scandisk and no errors. Drive F is a CDRW and no problems.
C is 20GB, D is 40GB, E is DVDRW and F is CDRW. Drive G,H (usb internal) is total 160GB.
What's my problem? Why can't I install XP Pro?

View 13 Replies View RelatedAdvantages Of Upgrading From 32 Bit To 64-Bit
Jan 24, 2010I built a new desktop last year with a 64 Bit processor but did not want to drop the $ on a new OS at the time. I continue to use the 32 Bit Version of XP. I have 4 GB of RAM but can only use about 3 of it due to the video card RAM and XP's 4 GB limit. I do not want to go to Win 7, I'd like to upgrade to the 64-Bit version of XP. Are there compatibility issues with going to Win XP 64 Bit for older drivers, programs, etc?
I have a laptop with Win 7 Home and have had some trouble getting older programs and devices to run on it - hence the reason to avoid it on the desktop.

Oct 7, 2009I'm going to upgrade from 2000 to XP w/SP3 and was wondering about "backing up files". I don't really have much, but I'm mostly concerned about program files (I can't remember which ones I've installed myself)...
I'm also considering "unpartitioning" and starting over because I bought the pc "used" and it has partitions all over the place.
Upgrading 2000 To Pro
Aug 12, 2005I need to upgrade over 200 PC from 2000 to XP. Some are desktops and some are laptops. I need to do it with very little input from the users. I was thinking of using a email sent out that would ask them to do it at lunch or other sometime. I figure that it will take at least an hour to do the install etc, with no error. I plan on a test group to start with before I roll it out company wide.

Aug 27, 2009PC specs are listed in profile. As you can tell, I have much less than the state of the art computer. I am looking to upgrade to a new MB for less than $100, $50 if possible (I can buy used from eBay, Amazon, whatever). Also I have no clue how to replace a MB, and if it is possible, I don't want to lose my data. I have a legit copy of XP Pro, but I don't have the disk, because I got the computer used. Eventually I want to dual boot with Linux, but I can figure that out later.

Jan 13, 2010I 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.

I know that I am running Windows 95 with 1 GB of hard drive space, a 200 MHz processor, and 32 mb of memory. When I first got this computer about 12 years ago it cost me 2,000 dollars. Am I going to have to pay that much for a new system (if I need it)? Plus is there any way I can get this Windows Vista I've heard so much about?
