• I have Windows XP Home Edition w/service pack 3. Windows Media Player will play CD but won't play DVD. What I can do. I am a beginner on the computer.

  I need help for fixing Windows Media Player in Windows XP Home Edition. Plays CD but will not play a dvd. I had my computer cleaned by a computer company of fix - it about a year ago, and they have installed service pack 3. I tried the free VLC Player and it would not work.

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  You can buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

• I want to install the backup feature in Windows XP. The instructions say to put the Windows XP CD in the computer. I can only find the reinstallation CD "for XP Home Edition, including Service Pack 1" which is the correct CD or is there another?

  This CD is the 'Windows XP' CD?  What he should say about it?  How CD supplied with Windows XP (my computer is probably 4 years old).  I need to install the backup feature in Windows XP.  I cannot find a single CD only and not know if it is right - it's the reinstallation CD.  I don't want to reinstall windows XP. I want to just install the backup feature.

  Hi AlexandraCALIF,

  Thanks for posting. The XP CD that the system is referring to is your XP (maybe not the reinstallation CD) installation CD.  I would test of the first reinstallation CD to see if it has components which seeks the system. If it isn't you need to contact your manufacturer and get a CD of the OS on their part.

  I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

• Centro not sync-ing for Win XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3

  My new Palm Centro can't synchronize Palm Desktop running on Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.  The Palm "getting started" Troubleshooting (very polite and free) told me I could go back to Service Pack 2, or upgrade to Vista.  There is a kind of incompatibilities between SP3 and current HotSync Manager.  I'm going to buy a Mac before I go to Vista, and do move back is unattractive.  Anyone know of another work around?

  The problem was that Agendus 4.31 does not work with Palm Desktop 6.x.  You must upgrade to a newer Agendus.  After some research by me and iambic, the manufacturers of Agendus, we discovered that I was given bad advice about the compatibility of the Agendus older and latest Palm Desktop.  Once I bought and installed an upgrade, things started working properly.

  original title: telephone call from Windows?

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  That's what you do if you never give them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  See you soon.

• I have 11 GB of free space on my hard disk 37 concerts. I have a xp home edition with sp 3. I'll be able to install windows seven?

  What is the capacity of minimum disk for windows7 32 bit

  Windows 7 requires a minimum of 16 GB of hard drive only for the operating system; because the upgrade to Windows 7, XP requires a custom (clean) install (your hard drive will be formatted so earasing everything) you do not meet the minimum disk space requirement (just by the standards of today ' hui).

  However, there are many other vital needs that must be considered. Windows XP Home only required of 64 MB of RAM; Windows 7 requires 1 GB (1 024 MB) RAM. Windows XP Home Edition required a processor that was held at 233 MHz or faster; Windows 7 requires a processor that runs at 1 GHz or faster. And these specs for Windows 7 are the bare minimum, which would mean that Windows 7 would be but its performance would be less then optimal.

  For Windows 7 complete system requirements are described on the page linked below:

  Windows 7 system requirements
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

  In addition, Windows 7 was designed to run on the more recent material by using the latest technologies; your Windows XP Home Edition pc probably is at least 7 years and more. In today's technology, your system is almost ancient. Of many computers and hardware manufacturers create drivers for Windows 7 for older computers, so this can be a serious problem. You can run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which will determine if your system is capable of running the new operating system:

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  In the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, you can search all your devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and software to determine if they are compatible with Windows 7:

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center
   http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  If your system, devices and programs the requirements for Windows 7 is entirely to you to upgrade or not, but in my humble OPINION No matter what ancient system has simply not material to make Windows 7 run the way you want, and finally you would probably be very disappointed. In other words, it may be time to think about a new computer.

• Can I reinstall Windows 7 Basic Home Edition with product key?

  my computer hp laptop provided with windows 7 Home Basic installed, but it was crushed. I was wondering if I could reinstall windows 7 Home Basic with the product key?

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  OR

  Reinstall Home Basic

  You will need a whole in a single installer disk that you can use to select Windows 7 Home Basic Edition during installation. See the following for instructions:

  For a DVD that contains all the flavors of 32-bit and a DVD that contains all the flavors of 64-bit that is Windows 7 Starter,Home Basic , Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate see

• My Windows XP Home Edition is not updated properly and I don't have a firewall after that I did a system restore.

  I have Windows XP Home 32-bit Edition. I got it since 2002. Its a PC Compaq laptop. I recently did a recovery system just to start fresh and clean with it. I have a legitimate copy of XP came with my computer, when it was new. I've loaded my records as guest and followed all the instructions. When I went to do some update, she had no auto update option to control panel (Classic view) and no windows firewall or even windows Security Center. It's default values on my new computer. I tried to update manually, but he repeats to me "the server was not respond" as soon as it gets for files and downloads from the download section of the patch of "Service Pack 1 A Express." I also looked for a download of Service Pack 2 and the only one available is for the professionals for the networks. I have no idea why this continues to be. I even made a second recovery, thinking I've done something wrong.

  You should be able to download the Service Packs as a stand-alone Installer on the following links:

   

  Windows XP Service Pack 1 has Express Install (32-bit) for end users

  If you can not download to your computer, and then use another computer to download the installation file and move it to your computer.

  You don't need to install SP1A.  XP Gold, you must install SP1A or SP2 before installing SP3.  I recommend that you start with SP2 and then SP3.
