Have a PC desktop, Compaq Presario 5WV270 without an operating system. I need XP Pro for this device.

Running the software of HAM that requires WIN XP Pro SP3 32.  My understanding of several years that these units need their own flavor of Microsoft operating systems.  Where can I find a decent XP Pro?

K1ger, welcome to the forum.

Here is the product to the computer specification page:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00009542

The original operating system was Windows Millennium.  Windows XP requires a minimum of 1 GB of memory to operate properly.  The motherboard supports a maximum of 768 MB memory.  Therefore, I do not recommend installing XP.  A new computer may be your best option.

  • Compaq Presario C310tu: change of operating system (32-bit to 64-bit)

    Hi, Professor and other experts

    Would you be able to confirm that a 64-bit Windows 7 can be installed on this Presario C310tu if aware of the CPU is changed to a compatible 64-bit, even though he is running a 32-bit o/system?

    Is ther other compatibility issues to consider?  If I find more information about this, I'll let you know.

    Thank you very much.

    Kind regards

    You are the very welcome.

    There is no 64-bit processors that will work in the motherboard that has your PC.

    If you want to run a 64-bit operating system, you will need to get a PC newer than this one.

  • How to reset market password on desktop compaq presario 5204

    I was given your desktop compaq presario 5204 a couple of years. I have never tried to use it until today so I can't ask the person who gave me the password.  When I try to start it I get a screen asking the power on password. How to reset it or remove? I want to donate it to the model railroad Club, I belong to, but it is useless this way.

    Disconnect the PC and open the case. Remove the RTC battery (money and the size of a dime), press the power button. Look near the battery for a jumper labelled clr cmos or something close. Remove the jumper and then put back in the same position.

    Please post your results.

    I couldn't find any information on the motherboard, but it's probably like virtually every other motherboard.

  • I am buying a new computer without an operating system installed and you want to know if my Windows 7 Upgrade disk can be used to install Windows 7?

    I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.

    Short answer 'NO '.

    Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

    You probably want confirmation from an Adobe employee and I do not work for the company, but its completely legal to post images and videos done with and on Photoshop that you use a legal version of the software. Of course if you copy videos from someone else so they can possibly file a lawsuit against you for plagiarism or copyright violation, but I suspect that your not likely to do

  • I have problems with IE 9 on my 64-bit operating system.

    I have a HP laptop with a 64-bit operating system.  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1.  I understand that it comes with a 64-bit IE9 and IE9 32 bits. I know because I started having a lot of problems with Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave.  Somehow the two IE9s became the 64-bit.  I tried to uninstall IE9 and returned to IE 8 then reinstalled IE9.  I still have the problem, and if someone can tell me how to get these back to usable without restore back to out of the box programs I would be very grateful.

    in 64-bit windows, the two IE32 and IE64 versions are included, but IE64 is not intended to be configured as the default browser.  She is more included for purposes of development, however, the average user should not use it and should stick with THE 32-bit

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/05/29/q-a-64-bit-Internet-Explorer.aspx

    You have Internet explorer still installed? If you do, it should be located at the:

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet" just create a shortcut and PIN to the start menu.

    The average end user really should never need to use 64-bit IE and should simply ignore its presence

    Good luck hope I helped let me know

  • Laptop computer without an operating system

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my laptop. He informed that I don't have an operating system installed. Where can I see my hard drive?

    Hi Jack,

    I assume that your error message appears when you try to boot your system, in which case it would seem that you master boot record is damaged on your hard drive.

    You can, of course to restore your system from your recovery CD, but that it will return to its original state, and you will lose your data, unless your drive has been partitioned.

    If you want to access your data on your hard drive you will need to a CD (or bootable FDD) that will get you access to attempt to recover your HARD drive.
