    Hello JothinVedere

    After you have re-installed Windows XP, you can go on the site Web of Norton and download the software from their part. Once you have downloaded it you should be asked for an email or an account that you configured when you first bought Norton, log. After that, Norton is turned on with the rest of the time for your subscription should be displayed. If you have further questions about Norton, you can click on their link to support here.

  • Why don't I have as many files XP update [start / Control Panel / Add or remove programs / currently installed programs and updates]

    Are all these necessary, and if not, how can I do to clean them?

    Thank you.

    Hi Renee-me,

    I recommend that you do not uninstall the updates that are installed on your computer.

    Windows Update makes the secure PC and helps run smoothly.

    For more information, refer to this link: Windows Update

    We suggest to delete the Windows updates only in troubleshooting an issue that may have been caused by an update. Refer to KB 310312 for more information on how to use the disk cleanup to free up space on the hard disk.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

    Original title: rundll.exe error

    I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

    When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

    Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.

  • I have a laptop Dell Latitude 0800 older with a 60 GB hard drive. Can I put Vista on it?

    I have an older Dell laptop, Latitude D800. The hard drive is 60 gig. Can I put Vista on it? How much space does Vista take?

    Hello Ralph St. Clair.

    # You can not put Vista on it and there is nothing to do with the size of the hard drive, which is acceptable according to the minimum standards of Microsoft.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/system-requirements

    And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    I'm sorry but never written/provided by Dell Vista or Windows 7 Hardware Drivers for this Latitude D800 laptop model.

    They only has written/provided pilots until and including the XP operating system

    You need the drivers to make it work properly...

    Read the information on the link of Dell; Click the drop-down operating system:

  • I have a laptop on vista home-use. When you look in Control Panel - be uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none?

    I have a laptop on vista home-use.  When you look in the control panel - and then to uninstall, should there be several entries for SQL server, or one or none?  Each entry seems to have a different digital denotation, but apparently I should have only one entry maximum.

    The reason that I ask is that I have had problems in the software.  I want to uninstall everything that is not supposed to be there.

    Some lines of programs listed show information... some lines are completed.

    When you click on a line that is complete, I am allowed the usuall to uninstall, options etc.

    When you click on a line that is not complete, I'm not allowed the option uninstall.

    The Compact Edition and the full SQL Server can be installed at the same time without any problems. I saw SQL Server2005 apparently installed by a manufacturer, perhaps to support some software they have grouped in. He could have an Acer.

    I do not know what cause the problem with the uninstall option is not available. Information to fill in these fields are in the registry.

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall if you want to watch.

    It could be the result of a broken uninstall or a bad registry cleaner. I'm not aware of anything that would fix this. You can try this http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

    but you may have to reinstall programs later.

    You need two redistributable Visual C++ if you have programs that need it, which is likely. They had several updates that fits into the list programs. I have two for 2005 and six for 2008.

  • Games like solitaire, free cell, hearts, etc. accidentally has been removed from my computer. When I go into Control Panel, add or remove windows, windows components, I need the floppy disk that I don't have. Any ideas how I can get these games back?

    I have windows xp service pack 3 and internet explorer 7

    Hi dollarsfor6,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.

    I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.

    Click on Start menu later click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.

    If fails it above step, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.

    See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.

    How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306084

    If the fail of steps above, you will need the Windows XP CD to install games on the computer, check out the link for more information below.

  • Windows xp professional sp3 general system control panel displays the wrong amount of system memory

    Have a Dell Optiplex GX280 running Windows XP Pro SP3 with 3.5 GB of memory. BIOS confirms the good memory installed, but the control panel > system > general tab displays only 2.99 GB of memory.  Is there a fix for this issue or Windows using only the first 3 GB of memory?

    If you have Windows XP with service pack 3 - it's a 32-bit operating system.  The most he could use is 4 GB and some of which will be used for overhead costs.  The most I've seen Windows XP with SP3 report was 3.85 GB of memory - although it is more common to see a 3.25 and 3.5 GB.

    Memory shared (with a video device) can also take off the total.  It's usually anywhere from 64 MB to 1 GB if the video device uses the system memory compared to (or in coordination with) committed memory.

    With Windows XP, however, have probably seldom got you much above 1.5 GB of memory space used without some graphics intense or video edition GOLD of virtual machines.  ;-)

    Essentially - there is unlikely to be anything to fix.  If you want to use/manage better memory, you need a 64-bit operating system (I'm not implying Windows XP 64-bit) and possibly a new video device.
