I try to install XP Home Edition on Windows 7
Hello, I've been everywhere trying to solve the problem below and hope you can help me.
I have a HP Pavilion Elite - HPE 180 t - Win 7 64 bit OS.
System Info 9 physical memory GB - memory Modules 5 - video Card1.8GB GeForct NVIDIA GTX 260 (2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters) - Intel(R) Core (TM) i7 CPU 950 @3. 07 GHz - 8 GB of SDRAM DDR3-1 066 MHz (4 DIMMs) - 1 HDD 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s.
Problem: I don't want Windows 7 and I try to install XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 - Full Version/CD ROM. I put the disc in and the installation option is grayed out. What should I do to prepare my system to accept the installation? I have my backed up system. If I erased my hard drive would that work? Is it possible to install over Win 7 or have two operating systems installed? I've seen advise to set the BIOS but cannot figure out how to display the screen upward at the start. I looked in the manual of HP and do not find the information.
Any direction is most appreciated.
Thank you

Hello
Windows XP is an operating system not supported and XP installation may void your warranty.
If you want to continue using XP, I would make sure that create you HP recovery discs before you start anything. Wipe the hard drive should allow you to install XP. I don't know what are the options you have the disk to install XP but I get an advanced option and try a Dual Boot or install double if you want to run two operating systems. To help you, do a search for "dual boot windows 7 and XP" or something similar and browse the results.

This file is missing?
Since it is an old game, it is possible that it will simply not work.
Try to use the compatibility options to run the installation - the game is designed for Windows 98, but try different options and if that does not work:

I tried every thing blessed with technology microsoft... always hanging in limbo here. Tired of doing constant comprehensive analyses, etc. in order to remove the constant threats. Apparently my McAfee can't stay with her either. Need help with the download/repair these seeds as soon as possible. Thanks to all those who wish to help me - it would be that popular, for sure!
The question makes no sense.
"Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8?"
Two problems: there is no Windows 8 and even if there were, Windows XP Home Edition would not not 'manage '. ;-)
I drop McAfee for a few different freeware products. Or better yet I'd get two products 'cost' (~ 25 and 60 dollars) and install them and use them in the future - but WHEN you are trying to clean up.
You seem like you maybe sincerely - at a time when a format/install of Windows XP/patching/installation of applications/patch/restore backups of your data is the best course of action.
However, if you are willing to work - maybe we can at least get things cleaned up to a certain point where you can get a good backup before doing this (otherwise avoid doing all together.)
In the order shown, do not jump (no matter what you do, what you have done in the past, etc.) ...
First of all - download, install, operate and put to update and then run a full system scan with the following two (one at a time, reboot in-between):
After you perform a full scan with one then the other and remove anything they have all two are completely, you can uninstall these products, if you wish. This initiative will allow to check there is no malware floating around your system which could cause problems. If you ask - no, Norton probably does not protect you from what these applications can find.
Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
(Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)Reset.
Search online with eSet Online Scanner.
Reset.
Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
(Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
(Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)Reset.
and...
Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.
AutoScan--> RUN and type:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
--> Click OK.(If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...
Reset.
Now try usig the Fixit (Yes - try to use it again) to reset your Windows Components Update (you'll do the aggressive version, not the other):

Now, open Internet Explorer, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and do a CUSTOM search for updates. Install any critical/high-priority ones and - for now - to ignore all those in option (always do this for material updates optional here.)
Restart if necessary and continue to visit this web page until you have not yet updated to high priority.
Now - if your problem is with the facilities of the .NET Framework... You can end up with something like:

Try to install 4 ' important'updates on Windows Vista and get error codes: 80070641, who has had a lot of answers posted but none does not seem to work and I tried to install this upgrade for the last 6 months! (I did one where you made sure something is running in the Control Panel, but it works just not - I HATE Vista!)
Now just got a new error code: 6 to 8.
The updates, I can't update (!) are:
- SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4
- Update of security for MSOffice 2007 System
- Update for MS 2007 Office system
- Update for MSOffice Outlook 2007 Junk email filter

Infected disk formatting; Installing XP Home Edition and it calls for disc SP1
I have an old pc that has been infected by a virus, spyware, and Trojan horse. I was able to log in safe mode and run anti-virus programs and remove most of the problems finnally. I wanted to format the hard drive and start over to make sure you have a clean pc. I have Windows XP Home Edition. After copying the files requested the installation of the service Pack 1 cd that I don't have. However, I have the SP 2 cd that I put in but it didn't recognize the cd or find the file that it was seeking to continue the installation. What should I do to clear the checkpoint of the installation?
Hi RandyZeuske,
You try to upgrade Windows XP on-site. This operation reinstalls Windows XP to the same folder on your computer where it was originally installed.
However, before you perform the upgrade on Windows XP site, back up important data to another location as disc CD/DVD, USB etc.
For more information, see this link.
How to perform an upgrade on the spot (reinstallation) of Windows XP
If Windows XP was preinstalled on the computer, you can contact your computer manufacturer to order Windows XP install disks.
Hope the helps of information.
Please post back and we do know.

I don't understand exactly how errors in the two newspapers are related, but my opinion is that, if I can solve my CheckSUR.log errors, CBS.log errors will disappear to, and then I might even be able to install SP1.
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
1 person needs an answer
For what is interesting, what I ended up doing to solve my problems was to re - install Vista with the 'upgrade' option, so I don't lose any of my files or desktop settings...
After that, I had a few problems with my OS reinstalled with several (80 +) updates, SP1 and SP2 from catching up. But overall these problems were minor compared to it, that I lived just to fix some missing files.
