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.

Cannot format disc disc HARD NTFS - Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3
Hi, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, because it drives me crazy. I have Dell Inspiron 4500 which HDD is running out of space. There was also a problem with the disc essentially installed 2 new 1 x 120 GB Maxtor hard drives and 1 x 320 GB Hitachi. I installed Windows XP Home Edition on the Maxtor from scratch and load all the drivers and patches, etc... However whenever I try to put in place the Hitachi under NTFS, it falls on the formatting. If I use third-party tools all right until you try to access it through windows, then I get "cannot access the disk, the files are corrupted or damaged. In windows Disk Manager, you can see the drive, but the file system is empty. I can take out the drive and set up on my other machine without problem. I can set up the correct disk in FAT32? If I then try to CONVERT, switch again.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind rgds
Hello Maver1ck63,
Thank you for your message. You have the jumpers physics master/slave accordingly? Otherwise, the value OS hard drive (Maxtor) to the master and your Hitachi to the slave. After a reboot, your system recognizes this drive in 'my computer '? If so, can you right click and format the drive? (Keep in mind, the formatting will erase all data on the disk, you will need to back up any important information before formatting). If you cannot access or recognize this drive:Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.Click on "disk management".Do you think your player, you can get in shape from here (or assign a drive letter if it is not recognized in my computer)?Please let us know the result.See you soonEngineer Jason Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.
How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?
Thanks, Ben
Run this Alureon is a rootkit . This can restore windowsupdate, once he removes the rootkit

I have the windows product key 7 with my computer dell laptop. in recent years my brother using the pirated version. now, I want to install the version of the windows license, so can I have a windows license, I have install windows 7 with this key?
Original title: windows 7
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».
I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.
So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.
I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »
Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.
This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.
You can try (in no particular order)
- uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
- There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
- You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
- Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
- Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.
