  Hello

  You are able to access the menu start pressing F8 as soon as the initial POST ends and before Windows starts to load? If so, try the last known good configuration. Otherwise, follow the steps here to load the recovery environment: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525 and then run rstrui.exe to load the system restore.

• I'm running out of room on a Pentium 3 computer, volume size 14,30 GB using Windows XP Home Edition

  original title: Windows XP Home Edition

  I'm running out of room on a Pentium 3 computer, volume size 14,30 GB using Windows XP Home Edition. This computer is no longer connected to the internet. I did a 'new' installation of the XP disk in an effort to remove unwanted files, but they remain on the computer, too much space? I have 22% free space (3,19 GB). I have the drivers for 2 printers on the computer, 1 regular printer (.38 MB) and 1 photo (63,63 MB). These are only currently installed programs, I put on the computer after the installation of "new". When I try to use the cleaning disc, the screen says I have 539ko internet temporary files and 32 KB of web client / Publisher temporary files. When I try to view these files, this screen is 'empty' or hidden? If I "check mark" these files and tell the computer I don't know I want to remove them, a screen indicates that they are being deleted (this screen only lasts a fraction of a second)?  but they are stll on the computer. Sometimes it deletes temporary internet files only to "come back" and the size can be different?  I tried to run the Disk Defragmenter (it took a lot of time). When I look at the report, I have a long list of files that it could not defragment? An example would be \ documents and settings------quest-my documents-my... I can't find these files? In addition, the computer is reminding me that I have so many days to activate windows after running the XP disk again. Thank you!

  Do a "new installation" Windows to remove unwanted files, it's a bit like swatting flies with a hammer.  And in your case, the hammer was apparently missed.  And, as you have discovered, you have now re - activate.  I hope that you still have your ID handy product.

  What are the files that are too much space and you want to delete?
  Consider to download and execute JDiskReport, a small utility in Java that will graphically show you what files take up more space on your drive.  In order to do this, however, you need to install Java, available here: http://www.java.com/en/

  Here's how to do a "clean" Windows XP installation, which includes the step of the formatting of the hard drive (otherwise said, the Windows CD not implementing in the form as part of the installation process; you don't need any other disk, diskette or other):

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  There are important things to think before you do another reinstall.

  Although your computer will probably work after a clean install of Windows XP, some of the features of your material are not available until you install the specific drivers for this hardware (rather than the drivers built into Windows XP).  The most likely problems are the video and audio, but since your computer is very old, it is likely that Windows XP has an enough information on your hardware it will, in fact, work OK.

  Unless the Windows XP CD you already includes Service Pack 3, if you're ever going to connect the computer to the Internet, you must install Service Pack 3 (and subsequent critical updates).  The best way to do is to connect the computer to the Internet and go - only - to http://www.update.microsoft.com , even if you're never going to connect to the Internet, Service Pack 3 may have included updates of Windows features you want to use.

• Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

  Hello

  I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

  Thank you

  You type a letter in a word processing program (Microsoft Word, Corel
  WordPerfect, OpenOffice, etc.). Do you have a word processing program
  installed?

  If you have not installed Word processing program, you can use
  WordPad, which ships with Windows. But note that WordPad is a very
  primitive processing program (really more a glorified text)
  Editor in Chief) and gives you much less control over the formatting to a real
  processing.

• I have just re installed Windows XP. Windows installed after three attempts. When I turn on the computer there are three choices of Windows XP. Only the first works how to remove the other two?

  I have just re installed Windows XP. Windows installed after three attempts. When I turn on the computer there are three choices of Windows XP. Only the first works how to remove the other two?

  I have a hard drive. At least two partitions. C: 74.7 GB with 63.3 freespace
  D: 74.2 GB with 70.6 freespace
  These are my original specifications of the hard drive: 160 GB (7200 RPM) SERIAL ATA HARD DRIVE WI
  So I suspect there are at least one or more partitions hidden leaving 11.1 GB for hidden partitions!
  Windows is present on both drives C: & D:. In the directory windows on C:, the oldest entry is 19.12.12, 21.43 last 21.12.12, 22.50
  The first entry in the directory windows on D: is 19.12.12, 18.42 the last 21.12.12, 22.40
  I hope that makes sense to someone, any help gratefully received!

  As long as you have verified you dΘmarrez done on the c: / partition, Yes, you can reformat the drive D: / partition using Windows 'disk management '.

• It is legal to use Windows XP Home Edition for commercial purposes?

  I am facing issues of authority of the Indonesian Government on the use of Windows XP Edition family in my shop. Although my Windows certificate and had been forwarded to the audit conducted by the BSA software, the Government continues to officer insisting on the fact that I'm violating the copyright (according to them) Home Edition is only a fine home, non-commercial use. They insisted that I use Windows XP Professional edition. I tried to read the EULA both Home Edition and Professional Edition, I couldn't find any part of the sentence stating that the Publishing House must be used for non-commercial purpose and Pro Windows should only be used for commercial purposes. Can anyone help?

  Contact company Microsoft in your country. Tell them that you want information on Windows licenses. They will direct you to the appropriate person.
