• I have a Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit

  I have an OEM Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. How do I know what

  To check if your XP operating system is 64-bit, you only have to right click on "My computer" and select 'Properties' to display 'system properties '.   If your XP operating system is XP Professional 64-bit, 64-bit will be indicated in the information displayed in the general tab.  However, XP 32 bit operating systems won't have 32-bit, there is no information about this particular point at all.  The XP Home Edition will be 32-bit, but this information does not appear.  XP Professional, however, can be either 32-bit or 64-bit.  If it is 64-bit, it will be indicated on the general tab of the system properties. However, if it is XP Professional 32-bit, nothing is there to indicate that the operating system is 32-bit.

  Vista and Windows 7, unlike XP, OS will indicate if they are 32-bit or 64-bit.

  Count it wants to connect via the "1394 connection" instead of Ethernet, under 'network adapters '.

• How many client PC can access the shared folder centralized in the windows XP Home Edition Server?

  Here's my situation:

  I bought 6 home edition of Windows XP
  then freshly installed, they upgraded to Service Pack 3 and they activated via internet
  I have some shared folders in one of them, acts as a database for the other 5 Server
  The other (5 PCs) Access database files (Visual FoxPro) using (X & Y) mapped network drive
  I have no problem connecting until the last one (FP5)
  Windows XP of the 5th PC (client) said:
  "Year error occurred while reconnecting X: to \\Raya\WS-01\Server Palen.
  Microsoft Windows network: No more connections are possible to this remote computer
  at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept
  The connection has not been restored. "
  What & why is it?
  Is a design limitation of Windows XP HOME edition which can only inter connect up to 5 PCs at the same time?
  Please advise, what is happening here?
  Thanks in advance

  Windows XP Home Edition allows a maximum of 5 simultaneous incoming connections.  XP Pro allowed 10.

  The following note is from the Article KB 314882:

  Note For Windows XP Professional, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is ten. This limit includes all transport and combined resources sharing protocols. For Windows XP Home Edition, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is five. This limit is the number of sessions simultaneously on other computers, that the system is permitted to accommodate. This limit does not apply to the use of administrative tools that attach from a remote computer.

• How can I determine why my netbook won't start in Windows XP Home Edition?

  I have a netbook Acer Aspire One A0751h multiboot, which recently stopped starting in Windows XP Home (SP3).

  I have NOT a CD Windows XP Home OEM (because the netbook does not comes with one).  I can boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive, but this does not help me much because I do not have a Windows XP Home OEM CD.

  My boot (GRUB) menu allows me to start in:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (which would be defective, even in safe mode - it crashes after loading the driver for agpCPQ.sys)
  • Windows Vista (loader) (Acer recovery Partition)
  • Ubuntu 11.04 (various kernels - currently 2.6.38 - 11-generic (Natty Narwhal))

  If I try to start Windows XP, it hangs up the PC (even in safe mode).

  If I boot on the Acer Recovery Partition, I have the options to wipe my system back to factory settings, or move my user data to c:\backup and reinstall Windows (or what is desirable from a distance).

  If I boot to Ubuntu, I can mount the Windows Partition to/media/ACER in two clicks.

  How do I:

  1. find out why Windows crashes and won't boot (can't connect to the faulty startup? I tried boot logging and impossible to find a newspaper)?
  2. Difficulty of Windows (I've already scanned the drive under Linux to find errors, and he comes clean)?

  If I have to, I can back up my content from the boot drive in Ubuntu, but I tell myself that I should be able to fix my Ubuntu system just as easily (SHOULD be the keyword).  Remember, I can access all the files on my computer from Ubuntu.

  Help!

  EDIT: Note that I JUST found that I can boot from a Windows XP Professional OEM CD and enter a recovery console.  Not that this helps me a lot, I can handle files of Ubuntu.

  Hello Linda,.

  One of the problems that you have is not knowing the best way to use this forum. If a proposed solution to a question does not work, you must reply to this message and tell the person why he does not. You answer by clicking on the button answer at the bottom of the post.

  Creating a new question for this issue, it is not the best way to get your issue is resolved.

  That said, if you read the instructions I have given in this thread...

  .. you will see that I said you don't need SP2, you can go directly to SP3. This may or may not solve your problem of download, but I do not think. If my suspicion is confirmed you can try to download on another PC or use another browser like chrome or firefox?

  If download you on another PC, you can save the service pack setup programs for, for example, a USB key, which you can then take the PC afflicted and run directly from the key.

  If you chose to go with my instructions, answer in this thread or in the thread above but stick with you answer in whichever you choose. Do not start a new question and do not switch between threads when you reply.

• Portege M700 - need drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64

  Hello

  I recently bought a Portege M700
  It comes preinstalled with Vista on the disc.

  Now, I got an original Win XP x 64 and all my programs are not really compatible with Vista. If I want to install Win XP x 64.
  I have install Windows XP Home edition x 64, but there are no drivers for it, only for drivers vista and Windows XP tablet pc edition.

  Is it possible to find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64?

  Someone at - it already had a problem like this one?

  in any case thank you already for the answer.

  Hello

  I doubt that you can get 64-bit drivers for Windows XP for this laptop from the Toshiba driver page.
  I didn t find drivers for Windows XP 64 bits for Toshiba laptops.
  Why? I think the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications have been designed for XP 32 bit OS.

  If install you XP 64-bit on this computer, you will have to look in the various 3rd party Web sites for the compatible drivers

  Good luck

• The Vista is better than Windows XP Home edition?

  Hello

  I installed vista, but is not supported & is unlikely to be the main programs I want to use with it! Is it because Vista is new, or Windows XP Home edition (which he runs under) is a better OS.

  I read on the forum that WXP can be used in another partition. This would cause a problem? How would be affected other things like access to internet or e-mail if I used it in a partition?

  Need help please, I'm lost and want to know the best thing to do.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Vista should be better than XP, but now many 3rd-party devices and programs are not compatible with Vista and therefore it s advisable to use two BONES; XP and Vista.
  You can install the two OS s separately on two partitions.
  This should work.

  With regard to the reception of the email: Please check where the e-mails are stored.
  Especially as Outlook e-mail applications use a same folder of installation on the partition for saving e-mail. But the path can be changed in the settings somewhere.

  A few words about Vista. As you probably n t know the needs of Vista a lot more material resources such as other early BONE. You will need a really fast and high performance for laptop or desktop PC to use all the features of Vista. I'm talking about the Aero glass effects, etc.

• Trouble trying to change from Windows Vista to Windows XP Home Edition.

  I have Windows Vista on my desktop.  I don't like it and I try to install Windows XP Home Edition.  I was able to get support.  When I insert the disk and select "run setup.exe" a "User Account Control" screen will appear (I've tried everything I know to disable this function, but also any virus protection software, but I didn't get it.  After I selected "Allow" on the selection of the user the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" screen arrives, but the "Install Windows XP" option is not highlighted, so I can't select it.  Please notify.

  You can boot from the XP CD and do a clean install.

  You should also check that you can get the XP drivers for the computer. If this isn't the case, you're stuck with Vista or Windows 7.
