Hello,

I have a laptop I bought a year back with Windows 7 installed on it. The laptop is a Acer Travelmate P243-M-6416, Model number ZQW

Serial number: nxv7baa004230175637600

SNID:23009558776

I WANT to install Windows XP on it and get rid of Windows 7. The reason is I have a newer Windows 10 COMPUTER that handles my normal computer activities, and because I have a lot of old game software I bought at thrift stores that was made for Windows 95 and 98. These won't run on Windows 7, but will run on Windows XP.

I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, SP3, which I went through the installation process with on my laptop. It installed without issue.

However, after installation, I found out that I had deleted all my drivers, as I had deleted all former partitions in the hard drive upon installation. So, now my computer can't do basic functions, including connecting to the internet, and running software. When I try to install my games, I get an error about Runtime Libraries or Direct X.

I also cannot find drivers online for Windows XP for my computer model.

Does anyone have any SUGGESTIONS? Thanks very much for your help!Ain't gonna happen without XP drivers...especially a laptop.

This may help...It doesn't look like Acer provides any Windows XP Drivers for the system, making it, RATHER unusable as you have discovered.

I did find This Site which claims to have Windows XP drivers. I downloaded a graphics driver and it seems like they are the drivers direct from the hardware manufacturer so you might have some luck with those. Do avoid the "Driver update utility", however- that's just crapware the site wants people to install.

I've not had issues running most older games even in Windows 10, except for MS-DOS or 16-bit software.I have a Toshiba A505D W-7 laptop I installed XP 64 on. (well, I tried, , , ,). I finally took it to a computer shop & paid $50 & the dude installed everything, except a toshiba thingie for? protecting the computer from shaking <- some such thing. Looking back, the $50 was cheap compared to wasted time & effort.

1st thing I did was, I cloned a second hdd, just in case, , , , (this laptop has an 'e-sata' plug)

-c-The difference here is your laptop PROBABLY had WinXP drivers...his does not...For what it is worth.... Old computers with Windows XP are a dime a dozen.
Search Amazon or eBay for old computers.
Weill... not a dime a dozen, but some for about $50 in working condition.

I searched of desktops under $55 and got:
89 results for working desktop PC .
...with free shipping.

The more common brand names should have XP drivers on respective web sites.

If my PC gave massage, I wouldn't complain.

PLEASE GIVE INFORMATION.

THANKS

Just got my main system up and running after a couple of weeks of debugging hardware. Started to add my HD's and got to one that I COULD not access. Windows see the drive, but cannot access it. It's a slave should have been no problem as it was accessable before. Went to Administrative tools, computer MANAGEMENT, and Disk Management was not accessable, notice said "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.". All other services are available in Admin Tools.

Have disabled all the drives with the exception of "C" (RAID 1) and Computer Management still times out. This is a new one on me, and have no idea what to look for. Have LOGGED in on both Admin and user accounts, also in Safe Mode. Can anyone offer any HELP?How is this drive connected ? ?
Did it have issues prior to this ? ?The drive was connected to an IDE buss as a slave. It had no prior issues. My C drive is or was RAID 1 on SATA. The unit has 7 storage drives on IDE (1 pair is RAID 1 for backup) and 2 on SATA plus the RAID 1 on Sata.

I gave up and wiped the "C" drives and am presently using a single drive on SATA. This is a back up I KEEP for emergencies and have used it to clone my C drives. At present all is working very well. Will Ghost it back to my RAID drive tomorrow.

The "C" drives started to lose all programs, and Avast and AVG showed no viruses. Boot scan with Avast was clean also. What ever it was, it's gone now, just wish I knew what it was. Frustrating to have something break, and not know what caused it.

Over the years I made lots of favion.ico thugs FRO my websites. The sites are mostly gone, but I would like to collect my stuff just because.

So I found them all in a search in my XP machine. I was about to copy them all to a single FOLDER when I realized that I can not do that.

So my questions is this:
When one has a NUMBER of image objects that are visually DIFFERENT and have the same name, how do you make a way to catalog or index them so you can find t hem? Should I just try and save the results of the search? Is sao, how do you save a search in XP?

I use Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition on a Dell computer. Using Windows Explorer, I have saved my Excel files onto a RW CD. During the save process, the files are changed to "Read Only" status. From that point, I am unable to update the files with new information (save over the existing data as you would on your hard drive). I get a message that I don't have access to the file - "see system administrator"

How do I change the files on the RW CD to ALLOW them to be written over with updated information?You cannot SIMPLY modify the data on an RW disc. You need to Format the disc (can be done through My Computer).

If I were you, I would get a USB Flash Drive. They can come pretty cheap and can store from 512mb to 8000mb.
The data can ALSO be modified with ease, just as if it were saved on the Computer.

When using Windows XP my file names might turn green when I copy files from one folder to another. Look here:

On the left the names are BLACK. When I copy some files to the right folder the turn green.
I found tat this means the files are now locked is some way.
I can remove the encryption, but why did it come on? I have not wen this happen before. Does my AV program do this?
It is an annoyance. I can only get to my copied files if I LOG in as that user. Otherwise I have to put the files in the shared folder. I am using Windows XP when this happens.
Any ideas?

You have encryption turned on...turn it off in the bottom right window.

Ctfmon.exe is a Microsoft Office process that WORKS with the Windows operating system. This process activates the language bar and ALTERNATIVE USER input. It is a non- essential system process which runs in the background even after quitting all PROGRAMS. This ctfmon.exe can be annoying, as even after disabling it, it remains in Task Manager. To prevent the process from starting with every boot, some steps need to be followed. This can be done from the 'stop advanced text services' selection under system configuration, or one can alternatively DISABLE the process at start-up. Additionally from the office start-up, the Modes User Input should be disabled.


How do I find system configuration in XP?

Hi everyone,

I've got a problem, when I shutdown or turn off my computer it reboots automatically...
I don't know where the problem lies. Please help me guyz, I need your troubleshooting expertise...

Thanks!

LeoWe need more information, Please look here.

Also, does it happen in Safe Mode?I have a temporary solution that might work. GIVE it a try.

• Go to "start"-->"run"--> and Type in "Notepad.exe"-->PRESS "enter".
• Highlight the folowing code and copy it.

• Paste it in notepad. Go "file"-->"save as"--> and save it on your desktop as "Shutdown.bat".
• Whenever you need to shutdown your computer double-click on the batch file you have jsut created on your desktop.

i know this problem... please change CMOS battery. then after you ll try..

OK, I guess I can officially close out this POST. I REPLACED the motherboard yesterday. The recovery function works now and the hard drive is recognized. I did have to REFORMAT hard drive, THOUGH. Somewhat disappointing, but computer is now up and running. Thanks to all who have replied with help.Glad that you got it FIXED.

It looks like there are several causes for your error - all of them impossible to fix, if you can't gain access to your machine.

Can you boot from the ME disk? If not, do you GET the same error?

Does the system have a floppy drive?

If you can't gain access to your machine, all that I can think of is to pull the hdd, put it into another machine and reformat it. Potentially dangerous to the other system if your hdd is infected, but, I think, OKAY if the only activity would be to format the bad drive. I would want confirmation from the forum malware experts, though, before I moved the drive to another system.thanks for your help. i'm getting more than a little frustrated with this computer. i'm giving up on it for today and i'll try again tomorrow. i'm still LOOKING for advice. can anyone help me?I can't believe the Mickey Mouse bad advice I'm seeing given out here.

So you have another computer you can get to, that's great. Because what you need to do is take the hard drive out of the computer that wont run, put it into the computer you are on now, and copy all of your files that you want to keep onto it. Dont worry about the adware infecting this computer, that's not very likely at all.

If you don't know how to do this, the best advice I can give you to try is to plug this harddrive into the same cable that the CD/DVD rom on the working computer is using. Otherwise, you need to learn about Master and Slave and jumpers on hard drives.

So your data is saved. Now to get an operating system back on your other computer. That part isnt so easy without an XP installation disc, and I have no experience with an upgrade disc so have no idea what to suggest there. Other than to get one any way you can. You can forget about the existing installation being fixed, it's not worth the time or trouble, a clean install is the best thing you can do.

It isn't likely the system is going to boot to an upgrade disc, try booting to the ME install disc and go from there. Quote from: jmjcari on July 27, 2008, 04:58:53 PM

i'll recommend you to use safe mode

sorry i should have clarified...it doesn't start in normal mode, safe mode, or last know good configuration.

Couple of suggestions here: http://communities.intel.com/openport/thread/1299

Whenever i insert an address into the search line of the tool bar, a box pops up stating "The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." Below the message is an "OK" button. A blank screen sometimes pops up afterwards. Also, when clicking on links on some pages the same message and box will appear. I've tried to run virus scans to see if that is the problem, but when i click on the link the box APPEARS and won't preceed any further. Could you PLEASE help with any feedback and/or suggestions you may have!! Thank you very MUCH!!Did you just install IE7? If so, uninstall IE7 via Add/Remove Programs: click Show Updates and select Windows Internet EXPLORER 7.0. Then REBOOT, REINSTALL it, and make sure you reboot immediately after you install.

hi guys,
long story regarding why I am still using XP, but I recently done a FRESH install, and my memory keeps telling me that this particular install had Soundmax sound drivers when used previously, but now it defaults to realtek sound drivers.
also have noticed that there is no Legacy sound drivers INSTALLED. I am running a program that decodes Pagers MESSAGES from out Fire Service and on the same computer I decypher Selcall tones for the same, but have noticed SINCE installing this version of XP the sound input is ridiculous, ACCORDING to two programs (Slimdrivers and Advanced Sysytemcare driver booster) all the drivers are the latest..
any suggestions on Legacy versus Realtek and or soundmaxInstall the drivers for the sound device that is on the system from the manufacturer's website.

Hello I am currently I am a little new to the forum and I am not very good at using computers when it comes to reinstallation.

I am having a problem where after restoring the recovery partition using 7 HP Restore disks it will ALWAYS Bluescreen so I decided to use recovery options and I used second option to erase and recovery but I have no luck and I tried the only options and I always get a System Recovery prompt that asks me to insert disk #2 but then it sits there for an hour copying the programs from the disk and is stuck on 2 % and I thought what if I borrowed or some how got the original installation media of Windows XP Home Edition because the machine came with Windows XP Home Edition with no service packs (basically the first version of Windows XP) so I thought could I use the product key on the side of the computer and use it with another Windows XP disk with the same version to install Windows XP on it because I have no luck on using the restore disks and HP doesn't make restore disks anymore so it is possible to use a normal Windows XP Home Edition disk that installs the same version of Windows but use the product key on the side of the computer and will it pass activation? I have also tried several web pages but no luck on answering the question I have (webpages that have product key F.A.Q).As long as Microsoft doesnt have that key flagged as PIRATED or improperly used, it should activate if the same exact version of Windows XP between the Key and Disc. You might be required to activate by telephone in which there are groups of numbers in like A thru G 6 digits each and if Microsoft approves activation they give you numbers in return to enter to manually enter. This usually happens if the network adapter driver is missing or computer is offline.

The issue with Windows 7 stalling hanging at 2% could be a troubled hard drive. I had a system a ways back that got to a certain percentage and it was hun there but the HDD LED showed activity. Booting system with Linux I was able to scan the hard drives S.M.A.R.T info and see that the drive was damaged and upon installing a healthy hard drive it installed the OS with no troubles.Do you mean Windows XP or Windows 7 because what if they block my product key?Windows XP Install media with XP key from side of computer should work. They will only block it if its already blocked. If this key hasnt been misused it should work. If it was used to activate more than 1 computer or used to activate a computer too frequently then it could be flagged as no longer a valid key to which they will REQUEST for you to buy Windows.

The Windows 7 issue with it hung at 2% could be due to a failed hard drive when no ERROR is reported yet it doesnt make any progress further. Windows XP Product Keys that are affixed to Laptops or Desktop PCs cannot be used with Retail copies of Windows XP. It will not accept the key. (and vice versa, Retail keys cannot be used with OEM CDs)

The key might work with a Generic OEM Windows XP Disc (Generic being not specific to any company as those would typically be restore discs)On the side of the PC it doesn't say if it's retail or OEM does HP use OEM keys and not retail?What is the model number of the HP?
At one time HP had a install disk for Windows XP. that OEM version of XP did notask for the product key if you were doing the install on a HP machine that was licensed for use with Windows XP. If you HP mchine is one of those models, and if your can find the origianl HP OEM Intall for XP, then you can do a fresh install and not have to uhe product key.

I had a COUPLE of HP macines at one time and I still have the HP OEM CD. Sorry, I am going to keep it. I won;t let you have it. Howeverm you might check with a local computer club or maybe a dealer who has been in the PC service business for a number of years.

Look atthis:

That is not a HP, it is a Dell. He wants to sell it for about $21. Don't buy it, it does not have the drivers your need for the Hp.
Here is an Hp, but it is SP2

You might find some place that provides the SP3 download. I am not sure about that.
I believe taht CD withh work on a HP made from about 2004 through 2007. I think.


Well the PC I have is an HP 7935 it should of been up there when I typed out what the problem was and I really don't need the disk that you have if you thought I needed one because I was able to get a hand of a Windows XP Home Edition disk and that should work and before using the product key on the PC I tested the Windows XP install to see if it is a Retail or OEM. Thanks for the help. Good. Sounds like you have a plan.
Please let others know if the OEM product key will work on the CD you obtained.

One reference says taht machine shipped with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition .
A product key for the home edition will not with with thMicrosoft Windows XP Home Edition ro version. An neither wil theMicrosoft Windows XP Home Edition ro key work on the hom. I am rostly abouthat.

Why do you want to do this?

My PS/2 port is not working, so I bought a USB adapter for the mouse and keyboard. I have a Compaq with an asus motherboard PTDG01 LA. The mouse and keyboard share a USB port and EVERYTHING works great. Trouble is, WHENEVER the computer goes into hibernation, when Windows XP resumes, neither one works. I pull the usb connection out, then plug it back in, it starts working again. I think this is a BIOS setting or windows setting. Can I prevent it from shutting down this USB port as it goes into hibernation? Windows has a lot of problems with Hibernation.

Do you have to use Hibernation? Another alternative is Stand By. It is more reliable and does a pretty good JOB with staying on low power.also the fact that it is a ps2 mouse might cause the problem, you may want to invest in a usb optical mouse, you can GET them any where for about $20. if money is a problem, ask a friend if they have an extra usb mouse so you can test to see if that is the problem.

Hi everyone.

I am trying to repair my old Window XP desktop. When I try to start it, I get this message :


Windows could not start because of an error in the software.
Please report this problem as :
load needed DLLs for kernel.
Please contact your support person to report this problem.

After searching the internet, I now understand that an essential file is corrupted. I created a bootable XP Recovery Console CD. I'm using to recover the system. I followed all the steps, but now I'm stuck and don't know what command I should use to recover the corrupted file. Please help me to do so.You could try this: When it asks for your CD put your recovery disk and see what happens.
•Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press ENTER (note the space between scf and /scannow)
*Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue progress bar goes away
SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, RETRIEVES the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.
I'm stuck with a black screen. I can't get to the Windows to click start. I made a XP recovery console CD. I tried to fix the corrupted file. But I'm still not SURE which file is corrupted. I followed the steps in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOgY48Ad4V8 but this didn't solve the problem.
I have two windows copies. One in the C drive and another in the D.
Please help me, I really need to get this PC working. Have you tried starting in Safe Mode?I can't start in Save Mode. all I got is a black screen. Now after all these attempts to fix it, and trying to install the Windows XP from a UBS, it is giving me a new error message, which is Hal.dll is missing or corrupt, and invalid boot.ini file message ALSO flash briefly when I start the system.You start in Safe Mode by repeatedly hitting F2 while the COMPUTER is booting.On my system it is the F8 key.

If he can not recovry his XP system, he will need to:
1. Boot up from a resue CD like Macrium Reflect .
2. Save documents and stttings to a DVD,
3. Install XP again, eraseding all data.
4. Restore documents and settings
5. Install other programs lost.

Thank you all of you for your help. I decided to take the PC to the technician to install window 7.

After trying about five differnt FTP clients that say 'can not run XP' or to that effect, I am asking what you thing I might use.

A portable FTP would be nice, I could also use it in Windows 7 and 10 without doing an install.
I tried an early version of Filezilla that was 3 years old and it told taht it could not run on my XP. But somebody said it would.

With Filezilla not working on XP, is this XP SP3 fully patched?

I used Filezilla years ago and it worked well, but it was short lived on my XP system. Instead I chose to switch to Linux for better security with my FTP box. I then used PuTTY and WinSCP to interact with it.

I ran into a recent nightmare with a XP system that i got for free that I decided to set up for offline gaming. But it just had its wimpy integrated intel graphivs so I added a better video card. So I needed a driver for my geforce 9800 GT that I added to it and so I selected the download for XP at nvidia's website. Next I found out that the driver needed a bunch of dependencies met before it would install & run such as:

Windows Imaging Component ( WIC_x86_enu ) needed to be downloaded and installed for XP

then .NET 2.0 installed

then Windows Installer 3.1 installed

then Service Pack 3 Redist installed ( in which Microsoft no longer offers SP3 and tells you to get Windows 10 and that XP is no longer supported and I had to get it from MajorGeeks for a file named WindowsXP-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu_c8147...... long chain of alpha numeric characters in file name here of 324MB in size.)

then .NET 3.5 installed

then the driver install for the video card finally started, but then warned that .NET 4.0 is not detected, but by which I was able to get it to install anyways

Got my XP gaming rig running and saved a copy of all the DRIVERS and dependencies for the Geforce 9800 GT video card, especially SP3 since Microsoft no longer offers SP3 for download which is pathetic that I had to get this from a questionable source such as MajorGeeks. Luckily no viruses detected and this box is offline use anyways so.

Additionally to mention, this system when trying to get all updates online, it failed to get security updates from Microsoft so they really have pulled the plug on it I guess. But manually installing the offline installer versions of updates seems to work.


Lastly.... there are a number of PROGRAMS out there that refuse to install to XP with their current versions that test what OS is running before allowing install and have a message that XP is no longer supported. I found ways around this if this is the case by expanding the contents of the software on a Windows 7 build and then copying the folder contents of the program in its expanded form to my XP system and the software ran fine when launching the EXE for the software on the system because only the installer or expander tested the OS version and the software itself didnt and was happy as a 32-bit application in a 32-bit environment. * Note: This only works if no registry entries are associated with the program. If it has hooks in the registry then I suppose you could manually CONSTRUCT the registry entry dependencies but it would probably be a great pain to have to manually construct the registry entries to support it.WinSCP is listed as compatible with Windows XP.Thanks to both of you.
Most of the time I get this XP machine to do almost anything. Almost. But recently many no longer want to support an old OS. So I know that I am just going to have to give it up.

It was HARD for me to give up Windows 2000. I had to study XP stuff for almost a year. Change is often hard.

Well, I got WinSCP to work. I used the portable version. Looks good. does the job. Nice program.

After all these years, little has changed with FTP. So why can't the FTP program just work with anything? Is it that hard to write code that works across several versions of Windows?

Anyway, I now have a Ftp that works , WinSCP portable.
Also, I found CureFTP also works.

Hi
Here is an old release that i made before with a vbscript called FTP Explorer.vbs
Description :
You are on a different computer than you, either with friends or in a cybercafe? You want to add, modify, delete files or folders on your FTP server? No chance, you do not have programs on hand as FTP clients like (FileZilla, CuteFTP, FlashFXP. Etc ...) to access your Private FTP server ! No problem => FTP Explorer is the solution to turn your web browser or windows explorer in your FTP client !

no thats the thing, the computer will not boot up into any mode. It just starts up and shows me the options screen where it doesnt matter WHETHER I choose safe modoe or any other option, because the computer shuts down and restarts to show me that same options screen again.Have you tried starting in safe mode with only the keyboard, mouse & monitor plugged in.

You do not need to be able to boot into Windows to run a hard disk diagnostic program.
i guess i dont understand what you mean. The only safe mode I know of is the option you get when you hit F8, which I believe requires Windows, how else do you get into safe mode?

And when you say only the keyboard, mouse and monitor, do you mean take off any other periperals like printer, webcam, etc? Yes that's what he means....
Yes I have just the keyboard, monitor, and mouse plugged in. The computer just displays the options screen whenever it boots. And then no matter which option I choose, the computer shuts down, reboots and goes back to that same screen. So I cant get it to go to safe mode the REGULAR way (I guess the windows way) Is there another way of getting it into safe mode so that I can do a system restore?
Thanks Patio.

First, let me explain what I want to do. In the process of moving from Windows XP up to Windows 10, I switch back and forth with the hope that in time I will get used to using Windows 10 It is going on two years now and I still get tuck in Windows 10. So I have to revert back to Windows XP until my head clears.

Well, I like to use shortcuts. Everywhere, not just on the desktop, but inside of directories. A number of my shortcuts refer to items in a partition I have named DATA. As the name would suggest, it is not a Windows system partition.

Now here is the problem for me. I want to use the same set of shortcuts on either XP, 7 or 10. I do not want to have three versions of each shortcut. When I reboot the computer to ANOTHER OS, the drive letters might change. Some do, some don't. The shortcuts often are to drive D:\ as you can see in the small PNG image attached.

So here is my question. Is there a way to have variable that would contain the rightr drive letter? And how would you use such a variable in the shortcut?
One shortcut, named AnyHow, has this:
Code: [Select] D:\ Kohn-II\AnyHow Le's say I put this in the right place:
Code: [Select]set MY_DATA = D:\
would I put this in the shortcut?
Code: [Select] %%MY_DATA%%Kohn-II\AnyHow
I have yet to try that. Would it work? Is there a better way?
Thanks for any help.

BTW: Is there an easy way to
- edit a bunch of shortcuts all at once?

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]The problem with using variables in a PATH for a shortcut would be that Windows expands the variable when you create the shortcut, not when you use it later on. This is just an idea - I have not tried it on a multiboot machine - you could try using the SUBST command. This allows you to assign a new, second drive letter to any drive. Suppose you have a drive which is D: in one OS, and E: in another, and F: in a third. You could pick a letter which none of them use - let's say Q: - and use SUBST in each OS to make that letter an alias to the shifting letter. After that a shortcut containing Q: at the start should work on each OS. The simplest way to do this might be to add a batch script to your user startup folder in each OS, something like this

Code: [Select]subst K: J:\

The first parameter is a drive letter plus colon, the second is a folder, which can be a root folder - NOTE the slash.

K: is the new drive letter and J:\ points to an existing folder, root or otherwise, on an existing drive letter. Henceforth K:\folder\file.ext will be treated the same as J:\folder\file.ext

I say henceforth - if you do the above at the command prompt (say you want to experiment and master the concept) it will only last until a reboot, which is why you would put it into a batch to run at startup, once you have got the letters straight.

Use subst /? at the prompt to see the help.

You could also edit the registry to get the same results, but I think the above is simpler.

Wikipedia article here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUBST

Code: [Select]C:\Users\Mike>subst /?
Associates a path with a drive letter.

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D

drive1: Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a path.
[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive.
/D Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.

As for editing links in bulk, here is a VBScript I found (that I have not tried yet). I suggest you try it out on copies first!

Salmon TROUT,
Thank you very much. It w ould have taken me a very long time to ever discover what you made clear. I forgot about the

How did you "forget" it ? ?It's an old one I had sitting in closet. I want to toss it just wanted to make sure all my personal stuff is deleted.
I guess I can just take the hard drive out and destroy it.
Thanks anyway.Too often PEOPLE come here expecting us to tell him how to defeat password protection in Windows. When the stop doing that because we have no way of knowing if the person really is the owner of the computer.
If your intention is to sell the computer to SOMEBODY else, you could just remove the hard drive and sell the computer without the hard drive. The Windows password is kept on the hard drive and not in some other place in the computerJust keep the HDD...

I've got a problem with the Microsoft Redistributable PROGRAM,it used to be 4 or 6 of them INSTALLED,but now it's like 30 of them installed,most of them followed by the word "False".
I THOUGHT of uninstalling the "False" programs,but I don't wanna do something wrong.
Also checked my computer for viruses,it's all clean.

Should I just remove all the "False" versions or do nothing at all?

Here's a screenshot of it : https://imgur.com/MpLHoJyI see no harm in uninstalling the older "false" copies and leaving the single non flase for each edition. You have 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013 which you need to keep one instance of each of these which are the active ones otherwise software with DEPENDENCIES will break if say you removed all 2008, 2010, and 2012 and kept 2013 and the software needed 2008, 2010, or 2012 edition of the redist PACKAGE.

Here ya go!
Some good browsers no longer support Windows XP. Yet you can still find places where suitable versions of the popular browsers can be found.
Firefox is still said to be compatible with Windows XP. Yet even so, there may be some issues with the newest version. You can get older versions of Firefox from the Mozilla site. Try a version before 42, maybe even before 30 for some issues. My problem was that I could not print from newer versions of Firefox when using my Windows XP on by old Dell.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/

As for Internet Explorer, you just have to hunt to find a version that works with XP. Here is one:
http://filehippo.com/download_internet_explorer_xp/

Another hard one is Chrome. Google says no more Chrome for XP. Still, you can find an older version that works. They say you want version 49 or earlier
http://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php

SeaMonkey is not a problem. But it is SeaMonkey.
Opera is still alright as far as i know.
Of course, you can just give up on using XP!

What about Safari?

Comments?

The following browsers I had, but uninstalled, because each was obsessed with 'security certificates' (either completely refusing to go to the designated url, or forcing me to do 5 to 10 mouse clicks to add 'exception')

Anyone remember which was the LAST version that worked on XP?Where would you get an old version anyhow, I mean one that was safe? Cliqz says "For security reasons, we cannot provide older versions of Cliqz that are compatible with Windows XP/Vista." Other sources could be risky. However they do say there is an alternative, Firefox ESR with the Cliqz extension, add an ad-blocker and HTTPS Everywhere, and you’ll end up with a similar package as the Cliqz browser.

When I start Firefox it shows me a group of small screen shots of places I have visited last time.
One of these I know is no longer on the Internet. i know, because it is one of my sites and I removed that page when I moved the site to another server.
So I do the DNS flush thing.

ipconfig /flushdns

Classical example: some time ago, I changed the domain name of this blog . I had to update the nameserver record of the new domain to point to my hosting.
Because the old DNS record of the new domain was cached in my browser, access to my blog with the new domain was denied; in fact, i could access my blog with my old domain even after removing the nameserver record all because the browser still have the record cached.
In this article, I will SHOW us how to clear / flush DNS cache in Firefox and Chrome.

My main computer runs Vista, and accesses the internet via broadband (btinternet, with BTHub5 router). This works fine.

I have an older computer, running XP, which used to have a dial-up connection to a now defunct ISP. Can I connect this XP machine to my router via an ethernet cable? I have fitted the cable between the XP machine and the router, but the machine is still not connected. Is there something I need to do with the software on the XP, or is it not possible to connect like this?

Thanks for any help.Yes...In XP you have to setup the connection from scratch in Control Panel...

Network Setup Wizard i believe it's called.Thanks, patio. I need a bit of help to do this, however.

I have tried the Network Setup Wizard, Create a new connection, Connect to the internet, Set up my connection manually, Connect using a broadband connection that requires a username and password, gave it my btinternet username and password, finish. It invites me to connect to this new connection but clicking "connect" shows "connecting through WAN miniport (PPPOE)", then "Error 678: the remote computer did not respond..."

Where am I going wrong?From the Mothership...Sadly, no luck. But thanks anyway.

MS advised:
> Step 1: Make sure that the network cable is connected

It was.

> Step 2: Make sure that the network adapter is enabled

It was.

> Step 3: Reset the modem

I assume "modem" means the router in my case. The router works fine with my Vista machine, and I'm not prepared to endanger that.

> Step 4: Uninstall and then reinstall the modem and the drivers by using Device Manager

I updated the driver for the network adapter.

> Step 5: Create a new DSL or cable connection

Did so (yet again).

> Step 6: Repair Winsock and TCP/IP

Did so.

> Step 7: TEMPORARILY uninstall third-party firewalls

No third-party firewalls.

> Step 8: Scan for and remove spyware and adware

No thanks. This computer hasn't had an internet connection or seen a floppy disk for years.

> Step 9: Clear the temporary Internet files

Did so.

> If the problem continues after you follow the steps in this article, try the following procedures. These procedures may help you determine the cause of the problem, or they may resolve the problem.

> Repair the network connection

Did so.

> Renew the IP address

Did so.

No thanks. This computer hasn't had an internet connection or seen a floppy disk for years.

> Test in Safe Mode

Did so.

> If you are using Microsoft broadband hardware, you may have to install software and firmware updates.

I'm not.

End result — exactly the same as before. Unless anyone here has further ideas, I intend to ask the ISP what they think is happening.
Have you tried a new ethernet cable yet ? ?Solved it at last.

IE > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Proxy Server > Uncheck "Use a proxy server"

(LAN Settings > "Automatically detect settings" was off.)

Got the hint from installing FireFox, which EXPLICITLY reported "The proxy server is refusing connections" and showed in Tools > Options > Network > Connection Settings that it was set to "Use system proxy settings". Changing to "No proxy" fixed it — "Autodetect proxy settings for this network" might do as well — and then I did the same for IE.

Thanks to all who offered help.Glad to hear you are fixed up...

I'd run WHATEVER protection APPS you have on the XP unit...when proxy settings get changed by themselves it's usually a sign of INFECTION...

Hello everyone

I have been trying to Win XP and get an error 0x80072EFF. Search the web found some articles, but no luck. I can go to the MS website (microsoft.com) select update and recieve the error. I do not even get the DirectX option to click (select) on the top of the webpage.There r also some links in MS that I can not connect too. Surfing web is no problem.
I am running Win Xp SP3. Any ideas would be great.

Looked high and low on how to solve this problem. Saw many SUGGESTIONS but nothing worked. I installed and ran Hitman Pro and it did find some issues MalwareBytes did not, but it could not clean the RootKit issue.

I finally stumbled upon ComboFix and it did the trick...

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

I'm on a mission because I have so many times SEEN advice to install reg-cleaners, FIX-it tools and scan for malware.
A malware scan is a good idea to start with.

The general fix for this problem is to download the STANDALONE "Internet Explorer 8" Setup from Microsoft manually using a modern day OS(with up2date certificates and crypto) and COMPUTER and put it onto the hopefully virtualized XP, install it and most likely you can again run windows update.

Basically it's a certificate error, the frame where the error occures is https while the Windows-Update start page isnt.

If the error perists it is also good to downgrade the IExplorer security settings for activeX modules because the WindowsUpdate is ActiveX. When you are done reset the degradation and keep the wandering security risk off the internet forever.

Just today an update came for my XP system. It says it is SP-3
quote:
Size: 52.3 MB
Office XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) provides the latest updates to Microsoft Office XP. SP3 contains significant security enhancements, as well as stability and performance improvements. This service pack applies to any level of Office XP. It contains all updates INCLUDED in SP1 and SP2, in ADDITION to updates RELEASED after SP2. SP3 applies to the following Office XP products: Word 2002, Excel 2002, Outlook 2002, PowerPoint 2002, Access 2002, FrontPage 2002, PUBLISHER 2002, and Office XP Web Component

But my system already is SP-3. it was installed it from the Dell SP3 CD for my Dell computer. Is this a mistake Could it be a scam?
This has never happened before. it is referring to Office XP, not XP the OS.
Office XP was also called Office 2002.

Amazon said my Windows XP is unsupported.
I don't care, I just want to see a movie.
I found you can watch Amazon prime using Windows XP by:
opening the Amazon site with SeaMonkey 2.5 browser.
If you don't have SilverLight download the VERSION for Windows XP.
You may need to re START SeaMonkey and then you will activate it.

Works for me. No, I don't know shy.
I will not reply right-away. I am watching The Tick on Amazon.Thanks for sharing in case anyone is STILL stretching out XP as their main system.

My suggestion if anyone is using XP as their main system would be to install a dual-boot of a latest distro version of Linux so that you can have a secure environment as Linux as well as XP for software/program support for Windows and devices that dont have adequate Linux DRIVERS for them. I like the Linux Mint distro myself. ( If anyone runs with this suggestion, be sure to backup your important data to an external hard drive in case you mess up and wipe the drive clean, also dont do this unless you have the original Windows XP installation media to REINSTALL clean if you run into troubles. )

As far as viewing content like streaming videos through Linux though, I have had issues due to Adobe throwing in the towel on Flash Support for Linux. This pushed me away from Linux as a replacement to Windows as for lots of websites use flash and its annoying to get the pop up stating sorry you cant view this page or play this game until you install Adobe Flash Version whatever it is now or newer.

Linux is suggested to be installed along side Windows on a system with XP if anyone is using the computer for online banking or making purchases as for its more secure as its patched regularly so far less likely to get your credit card or bank info stolen etc.

This is a request for help with finding a suitable set of drivers for an OLD Gateway and SX 2110 G desktop computer. I received this computer from a friend and it has Windows 10 64-bit installed and running well.
However, because of my age and some other problems, the computers more useful to me if it will run windows XP once in a while. I have a legal retail copy of windows XP home edition with the product key. So there is no question about the legality of what I am doing.
From a quick search, it appears that Gateway did not make XP drivers for this particular machine. At least that's what appears to be.
So here is my problem. The firmware on this machine does not appear to have a legacy mode that accommodates Windows XP. Therefore, I must have available a suitable driver to allow the windows XP installation program to READ and write the hard drive. I have already tried to install Windows XP from two DIFFERENT sources I have and both times it fails. The error code is not provide explicit information about what happened, but I'm quite sure it's because Windows XP cannot correctly read and write from a SATA drive. So the proper thing to do is to introduce a suitable 32-bit driver during the installation process. This is something I have never DONE, so I am asking the experts here to give me a hint about how I go about doing this.
This is not urgent. This is just something I would like to do if it is within reason and can be done with limited resources. One possibility would be to my an XP recovery disk from Gateway, but I don't even know if that's possible.
Any help you might give would be appreciated.
Again, the computer is a gateway SX 2110G and I wish to install a retail version of Windows XP home edition.
Thank you for your time and attention. Since the drivers aren't available from the manufacturer you would need to determine specifically what the devices are (EG the ACTUAL specific SATA controller chip) and then hope to find drivers for that specific controller chip.

However- even if you do find them, the only way to know they will work is to use them. Normally, you install storage drivers during setup by using F6 with an appropriately configured Floppy diskette. I'm sure then, that you see the problem- that computer doesn't have one, nor a way to plug one in. So the only way to load it up during install is to prepare a slipstreamed Windows XP install disc. That is described here (You would need different drivers from those listed, I Expect)Thanks.
Up to now I have never tried a slipstream. This will be my first.
The motherboard is a AMD type and I will search for the drivers. That motherboard and chip set might have been used on another model.

I installed SP3 two days ago and while it was installing, Spybot kept telling me that there was some changes being made. I kept clicking "disallow" and I expected that I would have trouble but everythings still seems to be working. Fingers crossed.

So, you told Spybot to disallow changes being made by the installation of SP3? Why would you do that? Wouldn't the opposite be the appropriate action?

I'm not sure what feature of Spybot you're talking about since I installed SP3 on my computer with Spybot S & D installed and got no messages from Spybot. Anyway, the best approach is to disable any spyware detection or virus detection protection software when installing new programs or major Windows updates, such as SP2 or SP3.

what protects your computer while that download is taking place?

You should disable TeaTimer while installing or uninstalling any software. Personally I would disable it permanently! How to Disable Spybot's TeaTimer

Hello,
I need advice with opening file atachment in ms outlook 2002.

When I open file attachment like *.jpg ... there is a message like this:
1. Open file attachment...
2. Save file attachment...
and there is a checkbox with the text: would you like ask again what to do with the file attachment?

Sorry for translation, I don't have english win. And if i check the checkbox, I EXPECT the message won't be displayed again. It works fine on admin account, but if i log on as a user WITHOUT admin rights the message 1. open ... 2. Save... will be displayed again next time.

So my question is how to figure out this PROBLEM. How do I set the outlook (in registry, in ini file ...) in the way, that message with the choice of action will be displayed only one (first) time.

I have a small workgroup comprised of 5 machines. 1 of my windows clients can't see any other of the 4 machines for what reason I don't know, nothing got changed from the night before when it worked properly. This machine still has internet connectivity so I know the connections are proper.

If anyone has any ideas what the problem could be It would be most appreciative for help.Try to describe the environment and the problem some more. How are the workstations getting their IP addresses - statically entered by you or is one of the machines a DHCP server? When you say that the malfunctioning PC can't "see" the others, does that mean that it users on it can't browse to other PCs' shares? Did you make any password changes? ip's are given through my linksys router as dhcp no modifications were made whatsoever from when they were working to now.

as for the computer not being able to 'see' the other computers, they actually cann't even browse to them to see any shares at all.try to do the following..
click start...Programs.....Accessories...Comm unication...Click Network Setup Wizard...
Rejoin your PC to your Existing Workgroup..with All Previous Information...
Browse your Network..
Is it Worked?just incase, check to confirm they are in the same workgroup.kuszmania9999:

Not So!!!
I have written about this a few times in CH.

I have 3 machines, each with its own workgroup, and they can see and access each other.
When you have Remote DeskTop, yes then the IP should be Static and must be the same WorkGroup.

-Just ensure all Pc's have Dynamic DHCP!!!
-Shut down all Pc's.
-Do a Cold Start on your Router, that means: unplug all cables including the Power Cord (important), and lets that sit for 10-20 Min's. This will (hopefully) clear the ARP Stack.
-Plug in all cords on the Router and restart the Pc's and Log on.
-Restart the Router, and let the Router allocate the IP's. Do Not Reset to Factory Setting. Watch the Log. It should take up to 20 Min's to have all Pc's on board.
-Ensure proper Access Rights for Folder and Users.

-This should do the trick, have done it many times!
I tryed this and it still came out with same effect, all internet capabilities but no LAN communication b/w computers o.OBearwithme,

I would attempt the CRUDE way to solve it.

On the affected PC:

First go Computer Management (local), Device Manager: to see if there are any Balloons, if so then fix them.
Check "Shared Folders" for any funnies.

If that does not help:
Go to Network Connections: - Network Tasks.
Work through the list checking the Connections and all their Tabs using:
"Start this Connections"
"Change Windows FIREWALL Setting"
"Change settings of Connections"

If that does not help:
DELETE all the Connections, then shut down and re-start.
Back to Network Connections: - Network Tasks.
Re-install the connections.

Good Luck.

When it restarted and was working properly, the ICON for Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock had moved form the bottom right hand corner to the centre of the screen and is always on top. This means that all the work I do (and the GAMES I PLAY) has the icon TRAY in the way. I would like to move it back to the corner. Can anyone help me, a novice to computer tinkering?The system tray is in the bottom-right corner and it typically doesn't have anything to do with NumLock, so I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to. Can you take a screenshot for us? Just press Print Screen (or PrntScrn) on the keyboard, open Pain, press Ctrl+V, save it as a JPG (on the Save As screen, select JPEG from the Save as type list), and ATTACH the file to your next post. If you need more detailed instructions feel free to ask.

Also...have you tried clicking on this icon tray and dragging it elsewhere?

Right this might seem like an easy answer to some people here however im having muchos difficulties, my problem is i recently got an elonex webbook for myself which runs linux (UBUNTU) and as much as i hear GREAT things about it i hate the OS so i was wanting to change it to windows xp however i do not have a cd rom drive on the webbook nor access to an external one, heres a list of what i have.

1. 1 x elonex webbook 80 gig HARD drive 512 MB ram (linux)

2. 1 x 4gb usb data stick

3. 1 x windows xp service pack 3 CD.

Is there anyway of transferring everything off the cd onto the stick and booting from the stick (which is an option on webbook). i tried copying everything onto it and doing it that way but no luck is there anything i need to do, can anyone direct me to a tutorial, i keep getting very hard to do explanations involving floppy drives which i dont have either btw.

Any answers are much appreciated,

cheersforgot to mention i do have another laptop so i can modify the contents of the data stick as neededWell, first of all, we can't instruct you on installing XP in this manner because it is considered illegal and we don't help with such things.

Also, the CD you have won't put XP on your laptop, as it is only a Service Pack. You have to already have XP installed in order to use SP3. Unless this is an XP CD BUNDLED with SP3, but I'm not aware of these existing yet. I could be wrong, though.

I would suggest getting a CD-ROM drive for your laptop (you should be able to find one for $20). Or if you think that will be too complicated, you can get an external CD-ROM drive that you can connect to your laptop via USB. I don't know why you don't have CD-ROM, but it's a very important component. And, of course, you are going to need an actual Windows XP CD and not just the SP3 update.

A while back I installed SBC DSL and my COMPUTER WOULD just retsart instead of shutting down even THOUGH shutdown had been clicked. Their tech showed me how to access a menu from the "RUN" BOX and there I checked the setting "disable fast shutdown"(??) and the computer started shutting down properly. I will need to access this menu again after I do a full recovery on my computer and reinstall the software. Since it took about 3 HOURS on the phone with sbc to finally connect me with someone who knew what they were doing, I think I can fix it myself. Only problem is I can't remember what to type in the "RUN" box to access that menu. Any suggestion would be much appreciated msconfigBINGO! Thanks Merlin

My Question.
What is this? I have never ever seen this before.
I am using Windows XP. MS said they no longer support XP, so why this message?

Anybody?



That's a normal Application crash. Thje crash dialog will normally say "We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will TREAT the report as confidential and anonymous", It has this altered text if the executable is signed by Microsoft.

otherwise, it's normal. Microsoft Feeds Synchronization (part of IE that is run through TASK scheduler to update RSS feeds) crashed.

Surely, you've seen a program crash before?

Or is your confusion because the message asks you to "tell microsoft about this problem" or that it encourages you to send an error report?

That's like running a program a person wrote that says "drop me a line to let me KNOW what you think" only to learn that the person has died, and then wondering "well then why does the program tell me to send them an E-mail?"

Windows XP fell out of support, but the OS doesn't know that. They aren't going to release a final update that scours the product for anything that implies it is still supported and remove it. It's up the user to not be a yogurt.

From when Windows 10 was first introduce I have had OLD PCs that had DUAL boot Windows XP and Windows 10.

Recently I have had the boot LOADER 'forget' Windows XP.

Five times I reset it with a program from Macrium.

Any ideas about why Windows 10 ignores the boot OPTIONS?
