I am running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3, use the 32-bit or 64-bit upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium?

running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition Version 2002 Service pack 3, used the 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade?

I followed the instructions on the card that came with the software... indicating that, if I look at my computer it was telling me that my computer works... either 64 or 32, but it does not work.  So my question is, how do you know?

You probably have the 32-bit version of XP (in most individuals, and if your system properties page does not have 64-bit, then you have 32-bit.)

However, if you now have XP 32 - bit or 64-bit XP isn't the issue that relate to your decision to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.  This decision depends on the question to know if your hardware can support a 64-bit operating system.  In this regard, the main reason for users to install a 64-bit operating system is to allow the use of more than 4 GB of RAM.  If your hardware does support more than 4 GB of RAM, there is no interest to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

You run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor?  With what results?

Click Start > run and type msinfo32 in the "Open" box and click OK.

  • I'm temporarily using a diesel powered computer, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

    I temporarily uses a computer filled with diesel fuel, until I can afford to replace it with an updated model. It is using Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
    The problem is that it's totally out of memory and as far as I know, I deleted everything I can, short of service packs and security features, such as malware and anti virus.
    I do a disk Clean up and Defrag on a regular basis, but it shows now that I have zero remaining memory.
    Anyone know how I can free up more memory?
    What happens if I delete ServicePack 1 & 2?
    What happens if I use the restore disc came with the computer? It will remove everything and I start with a clean slate?
    Unfortunately I can't replace this computer for a few months more, what should I do?
    Thank you
    Monica

    You run lack of disk space, not memory, if that's your hard drive, you're referring to :-)

    If you have the service pack installation files on your PC, you can probably pick up near a GB removing them (most likely you do not have).
    You can remove security updates uninstall files and pick up some space here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-9862223-68.html
    If there are programs that you use rarely or never, you can uninstall them.

    If you use the recovery disk, it most probably restore you to the day; No program, no service pack, no update of safety, nada, just WinXP right out of the box. I wouldn't recommend, unless you have nothing better to do with your time than to reinstall all your stuff. And if this isn't in SP3, then you will not be able to download updates of security.

    If you have a little cash on hand, you can always get a bigger hard drive and clone this player to the largest (most new hard drives come with software to do). Or if you have geek friends who save ALL their old stuff (like I do), maybe one of them would have a replacement part that they would be willing to give you. Wouldn't hurt to ask :-)

  • Ehshell.exe error with Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, service pack 3

    Running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with service pack 3.  I get the ehshell.exe error when I try to watch live TV.  It crashes, debug and I usually won't have to ctrl-alt-del to get anywhere.  Do not seem to have this problem before I added various updates etc, tv was fine before this date.

    I'm not particularly computer so nice easy steps please...!

    Thank you, Nicholas

    Ehshell.exe is a Windows system file that is used to run Microsoft Media Center. It is not a critical system file. However, the ehshell.exe file can become infected and cause errors trying to run certain programs. If the ehshell.exe is absent, it can also cause errors. Reinstall a clean copy of ehshell.exe with the Microsoft System Restore.

      • 1

        Click on the "Start" menu, then click on "programs". Scroll down and click on "Accessories," then "system tools." Click "system restore."

      • 2

        Click 'Next' in the window system restore for a list of points of restoration which has been archived.

      • 3

        Select a restore point created before the ehshell.exe file becomes corrupt or got deleted. If no restore point until this time is listed, click on "Show restore points more" to select the one that is before this date. Click 'Next' to choose which restore point.

      • 4

        Click 'Finish' to start the system restore. The computer will restart once the process is complete and the ehshell.exe file is reinstalled.

    Hello

    Do you have an error message when you try to install updates?

    I suggest that you put your machine in a clean boot State, then try to install the updates. I suspect the involvement of a third party software conflict.

    Note: Do not forget to put your computer in normal mode.

  • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 Dell Dimension DE051

    July 29, 2011, I bought a 1 to My book Essential USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive from Western Digital edition.  Raymond, a Western Digital technician told me tthat so that the external hard drive back up my files that I need decompression software.  My system is too old for this?

    I would appreciate an answer to this question as soon as possible.

    Windows XP has "unzipping" software already installed...

    "For xp in zip or unzipp R.click just a file, folder, select" send to ", select zip ' or 'unzip '.

    the wizard will run automatically. Also, you don't need compress folders that contain backup files, in fact one of the

    best ways to create a backup are executed the Transfer Wizard files, either from the xp installation cd or xp tools better.

    When the wizard starts, select "old pc" select "other case" Browse in a new folder that you created. Once this

    housing starts, select files, folders, settings, etc. you want saved once through, move the folder to hd, or on a cd. Once through, these files can be used on any windows platform with all included youre data.

    Hello Demars_will,

    Thank you for your message.  There are a few known bugs for this problem.  Try these two steps:

    Try first to this step:
    Put your XP CD in the CD drive.
    Click "Start" > click "Run" > Type EXPAND/r 'TheCDDriveLetter' \i386\SPOOLSV. EXE C:\Windows\System32 and press "Enter."

    A test to see if the spooler has begun.

    If this is not the case, click HERE for a registry change that may solve your problem.  There are a few different registry changes, I don't know if you have tried this one or not.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

  • Cannot install service pack 4 Windows on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2

    I have recently installed windows service pack 3 and now when I try to install service pack 4, I get this
    Error installing Service Pack 4:
    The version of windows that you are trying to install does not match the update you are trying to install

    Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
    Toshiba
    Tecra

    No, it means that you are misunderstand any error message you see.  There is no service pack 4 for Windows XP.  All reputable antivirus meant for Windows XP software will install on Windows XP service pack 3.  If you have problems to install antivirus software, your computer may already be infected.

    You must install one antivirus resident program.  Do not install the Avast and AVG; Choose a.  You can have other anti-malware of on demand software.  The best of them is MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free).

    If you would like more information, please proceed as follows:

    1 display the full text, without paraphrasing, of any error message you get when you try to install a software of your choice.

    2. after the URL (link) of the Web site from which you downloaded the antivirus installation package.
