View 6 RepliesI am using XP professional sp3 (special pack 3) before I downloaded Internet Explorer 8 I was a 2 packer. Since that time I have had many thing go wrong. The puter just shuts off. I was told that Google chrome is a good internet provider but I can't try because I didn't know that it was going to change what I thought my system was. I do get error messages saying: You vertual memory is low. I'm running on 496 mb of ram.

View 9 Replies View RelatedNew system came with XP Home, however when I try to install an older CD of XP Professional Upgrade, it says I can't because the Pro version is older than the newer Home version. Like to avoid going out and buying a new copy of Pro. Also does a copy of windows need to be on the machine first? Or does it just need to check the windows cd?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an old dell that had windows ME on it (yuck) About 3 years ago, I upgraded to XP and installed service pack 2. Since then I have set up 2 laptops, broadband and a wireless network. But the old dell in the office (the main one that the high speed modem and linksys is plugged into) needs to have the operating system re-installed again. It has reached its half life...a nuisance, a pain, unbearable, unusable! When I tried to re-install it wouldnt let me because the version on the computer is a newer version then the one on the disk.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a really old computer; not to sure what the system specs are like other than it being made by Tiny and having a 4 GB HDD. My mum wants to use the word processor now and then but the printer has broken and she would rather not buy another; partly because drivers may be an issue and partly becuase I have unused retail copies of Windows ME and 2000 that a couple of mates donated and can print off at my Dad's house.The issue with 98 is that I want to be using USB sticks when necessary to transfer word documents over to my Dad's computer running XP to print but 98 does not have the necessary drivers and I think it is impossible to get any; from what I understand that what 98 SE was for.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have tried to repair/reinstall/install my Windows XP system with no luck. I asked for help in an earlier thread, and got some helpful advice, but now I have a new problem. (I'm not sure I should be starting a new thread on this; but it does seem like a separate issue to me.) About two years ago I had the Geek Squad in to rid my computer of a deeply embedded virus. The techie said something to the effect that he was going to load a newer version of XP, which I welcomed, and thought no more about it. Now, in trying to reinstall or install or whatever it is that I'm going to do, the XP disk comes up with an error message saying that I cannot install an earlier version of XP. I don't have a copy of the newer version the techie installed. My question is: is there a way to override the can't-install-older-version block and reinstall the original XP version I have on a legally-owned disk?

The address bar and tab bar are displaying the correct favicon in IE7. I am certain the problem is associated with my laptop computer because my desktop computer, which never saw the old favicon, is displaying the correct favicon as a desktop shortcut. Both computers are Dell and have IE7.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using Windows XP Home, on an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1GB RAM. When I have been using the internet (Internet Explorer version 7) I occassionally experience a slowdown of everything internet related. I check the Tas Manager and it shows my System Idle Process using 99% of CPU. I find this odd, as my system is clearly not idle cause I am using it! My computer is on a network, and I havent heard it happening to other computers on the network until today, when the same thing occurred on another machine in the network. any ideas on what it is?

View 16 Replies View RelatedThis is the problem in which I'm currently in. I saved roughly about 15Gs worth of music and numerous pictures in my documents. Well since then I've changed the h.d, motherboard, and a few other things and installed a fresh copy of windows on the alternate h.d. well with the first h.d set as a slave and no means of going back to my original setup because i deleted most of everything on the h.d except a few folders it won't give me access to those folders. I'm wondering is there anyway of gaining access to those folder?

View 1 Replies View RelatedComputer has been acting up quite a lot lately, and I'm getting to the point to where I'd prefer to backup what I need, format, and reinstall Windows XP. The only problem is, however, that I don't have an XP cd, seeing as how I got it installed when I gave it to our computer tech to build my computer a while back. My CD key is for an oem version, which I'm guessing is what he used.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had my hard drive replaced and a new install of everything. My concern is how do you find out what version of Java you have on the computer? I went to Add/Remove and it is not there. I remember seeing it somewhere but can't recall if its the old Add/Remove on the other drive or I just happened to run into it. I went into Windows, Java, and it told me nothing about the version. Has a bunch of zipped files and don't want to open anything that I don't know about. I have 3 folders, classes, trustlib, and packages. Nothing shows what version, if its even installed. I know you need the new update for it, if its not installed now, is it needed?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy motherboard died, I changed it from a Pentium 4 to a Core Duo. The guy that did the installation told me he would need to update Windows. Fine.The thing is, he installed a new instance of XP Professional instead of updating/repairing the one I had. Now I boot on a clean Windows that has no access to my apps. Sure, I can go to, say, the Photoshop dir and click on the exe, but it won't run since its dll's and stuff are all on the old Windows' installation.I have 175Gb of apps and data in the HDD and I don't want to wipe it, especially since I don't have the original CDs of many of my apps anymore. Plus there's years of downloaded stuff I don't want to search,download and fine-tune all over again.So, my question is, how can I kill this new version and fix my old one so it does work; make the new one work with all my apps so I can kill the old one; or in any way have ONE XP on my machine, that actually runs my apps, without having to reinstall them all (some I can't even if I wanted/had to)So I have a PC with TWO Windows in it and I can't use either for anything I need. Both are in the same partition, only the second one was installed in WINDOWS. There's no dual-boot option or anything, my original windows is just not being accessed.I have tried to fix the old Windows with my XP CD, but it goes for the new one and I can't make it fix the old, useful one.
