How can I load Windows XP on my new computer - disk allows us to click install.
We have updated our computer to a laptop and I am trying to install our Windows XP via the CD that we have. When the CD menu opens it you can not click on the link to "install Windows XP". Does that mean that I can't install it on my new laptop and I have to buy it again?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Don't panic quite yet. You cannot remove Windows from the Add/Remove screen. What you have probably deleted, has been "Windows XP Service Pack 3" (or maybe service pack 2). The computer must always start Windows normally (remove the CD). Now, go to Windows Update and download critical updates, you are offered.
It is hard to tell just what kind of CD do you have from your description. What it says on the CD itself?
If it's a retail XP CD (and it could be, depending on the shop - I've seen a number of messages from people who discover that "the shop" installed a counterfeit Windows version), you can use it for your laptop, but given your level of expertise, you probably would be better served by taking the laptop and the CD in a good computer repair shop (not a type BigBoxStore or rather GeekSquad). Depending on what is on the laptop now (?) you probably need to install drivers for devices in addition to Windows, and you need to get those of the manufacturer of the laptop.
If the CD is a CD recovery, then as No Mo, it is indicated, it will not work on your laptop.

I'm considering buying a computer with Windows 7. Is there a driver for my Canon Multipass F50 printer? I have Office Professional for XP - can I load office software on the new computer with Windows 7?
Page drivers Canon MultiPASS F50 & the downloads shows nothing for Windows 7 (or even for Vista), so I doubt that it works.
Microsoft Office XP is not compatible with Windows 7. Office 2003 and Office 2007 are.
I wish I had better news for you. :-(
