  • Is there anywhere I can download windows XP for free?

    I'm sick to death of windows 7... Microsoft cannot admit, but it's full of glitches and that slow synaptic connections in the brain of Bush.

    So here's my question is there anywhere I can download windows XP for free?... Can seem retro, but I liked XP, once you got to know how to use it, it was fast and reliable, unlike windows 7 windows media, actually worked perfectly player...

    So can you get it for free?

    Original title: windows XP

    Now where I know. The only chance of getting XP would be to call the manufacturer of your PC support (if your PC originally came with XP) and request a recovery media. If your PC came with XP originally, the "recovery" partition can always also be the function that allows you to restore XP on your PC.

    Hello
    IM to do a reinstall full on a friends computer after a major viral attack. The PC has XP Home CD key valid on the case, but they do not have the installation disc. Is there anywhere I can download an install image that I can burn to a cd?

    Thank you

    Yes, make sure that it is the same material and the same service pack.  Just google XP SP - x and at home.  Since the computer came pre-installed, you need the OEM version.

  • I downloaded the 32-bit, Windows 7, Internet, and now when I try to open the file you just downloaded with an MS-DOS screen opens then closes instantly. What should I do?

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Hi Chris.Plucker,
     
    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum
     
    I would like to ask you a few questions to better understand:
     
    (a) you try to open the file from Internet Explorer?
     
    (b) if so, have you tried with other browsers?
     
    (c) from which site did you download Windows 7?
     
    (d) what is the name of the file you want to download?

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

    Follow the steps below to put your computer in a clean boot state:

    Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.

    2. click on the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Startup items load check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then all disable.

    Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    5. click on OK, then restarting.

    Check the link to learn more about the clean boot below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click the Start button, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2 in the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click on OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

    Waiting to hear from you

    Thanks and greetings

  • You want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 Professional. I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional?

    I want to install Windows 7 Professional.  I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor, and he told me that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate. Why not professional? Or is this correct?

    You can still install Windows 7 Pro, but it requires a custom installation. This will remove all your programs (you will need to reinstall them), but you can save your files and settings to external storage before doing so.

    If you want to make a place in the upgrade you will need Home Premium or Ultimate.

    What Upgrade Options are available for Windows 7?
    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

  • I moved my windows mail contacts place and now I can't find them. I get the message the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized. Windows Mail does not open.

    I was exploring the information about "move your files and user files to another partition" I'm a little short on space.   I chose the location tab in my Contacts Properties window to have a look at the possibilities of some of my folders move to another partition on my computer.   However, I clicked obviously wrong, and now I got a message that the file MSOE. DLL could not be initialized.   I tried the system restore, but no restore points are available to me before today.  Are there jobs that I can do?

    Under your username must be a Contacts folder.   If there is a step, and then either move the new Contacts folder to where he was, or create a new folder under the user name, and then see if it works then.  So if you have a username of 'Heather' contacts should be under C:\Users\Heather\Contacts.  Try and then see if it works very well.  Otherwise, you will need to create a new user and then try to get this to work.

  • I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium, and I lost the original and the recovery partition

    I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium and I lost the original and the recovery partition, but I have still the product key and the same laptop that was originally installed with windows 7 copy and now im turning my laptop with a fake copy, how to restore the original copy of windows 7?

    Hello

    You have certainly reduced your options

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.
