• I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have a lot of problems.

  Hi all

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.
  I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help me
  Also, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.
  I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.

  Hello

  1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
  2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
  3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.

  No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:
  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

• I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do?

  Hello

  I was offered an upgrade of windows 10 on my laptop that is running windows 7, but my wifi button was not working when I installed 10 windows so I started 7 what can I do? It is an Acer Aspire 5920 G (old enough)

  Thank you.

  There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

  Thanks for reading.

  After the upgrade yesterday from Vista to Windows 7, now my Cisco VPN does not work and I get an error message titled: grounds 440 driver fault.  Any ideas to fix this?

  This was the solution!  The works of vpn as $ 1 million now.  I followed the instructions above to enter the uninstall program and selecting the repair option.  I rebooted the machine, then used the troubleshooting on vpn software compatibility option.  Selected Windows windows xp (service pack 2) as the correct software and cisco vpn client started right up.

  Thanks, Nick!

• wrar371.exe 32-bit file will work on my 64-bit Vista Home Premium?

  If I go through the misery of download and install a file 32-bit name wrar371.exe, is it unzip the files with the extension .rar on my 64-bit Vista Home Premium? I.e. it will unpack files with the .rar extension so that I can possibly run video I downloaded more than a week ago and have not yet been able to view.

  Most programs designed for 32-bit version of Windows works on the version 64-bit windows. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.

  Device drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running a 64-bit windows. If you try to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it will not properly work on a version 64-bit windows.

• If your computer comes with a hard drive of 32-bit pc will work better by adding another hard drive of 60 bits or transfer all files on the hard drive of 60 bits?

  The pc is a hp pavilion a706n and windows vista ultimate.

  Hello

  You confuse the version of Windows with the hard drive.

  A hard drive is a physical device for Windows (operating system)
  are the programs installed. When the data is created and saved which are written in the
  hard drive. A hard disk is analogous to a wardrobe as a storage device.

  Hard drives are not little dependent, which means that you can run Windows 32 or 64 on them
  If the rest of the system is compatible with every version.

  Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. But not all hardware systems can run both.
  Many 32-bit systems cannot run 64-bit Windows.

  Your computer came with at least a possible hard disk to add possibly
  internally, and certainly outside.

  WiKi - hard disk drive
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

  As TrekDozer said that your computer cannot run as 64-bit Windows if you need to stay
  with 32-bit Windows. However, you can add additional hard disks of extra disk space.

  Check with HP support, their books online and the drivers, diagnosis, and
  their forum are good sources of information from others with the same or similar
  systems.

• The 32-bit drivers will work on 64-bit so dual boot to 32 bit?

  Hello

  I use my laptop for recording audio. It came standard with Windows Vista 64-bit. I recently got a piece of hardware (a mixing table) has currently no 64-bit drivers. I was wondering if I put my computer to dual boot saying Windows Xp 32 bit if I would be able to get the drivers and run my blender.

  Thank you
  Trae

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  You need 64-bit drivers for the 64-bit operating system.

• The contract of affreightment for my VISTA Home Premium 32 bit [oem] will work for VISTA Ultimate OEM Dell disk shape.

  Mine has the Express Vista Upgrade Help Express upgrade DVD from Dell for Vista Home Premium 32 bit in March 2007. [XP to Vista was a promotion at the time]. I did a clean install of vista Home Premium 32-bit using the DVD upgrade at that time here.

  Now, I got Dell VISTA 64-bit DVD to reinstall [Dell Rep told me that she did not have the Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is - this okay for me to receive the DVD of reinstalling Vista Ultimate 64 bit-for which I accepted]

  Resettlement 64bits Ultimate DVD arrived today, in an envelope. I can't find a certificate of authenticity [COA] inside. However the sleeve that wrote this about the following:

  "The Microsoft certificate of authenticity [COA] operating system is a multicolored label located on the side or the bottom of your computer. The certificate of Authenticity contains the product key code, which may be needed to complete the installation of the operating system. »

  Now where's position? Can I go ahead with my clean install of Vista Ultimate 64 bit with the disc I received after formatting my drive where my Vista Home Premium 32-bit far is present.

  I am owner of a single computer in the home environment.

  Snow

  As Dell-Jesse has already been said, "COA at the back of the system is ONLY for Vista 32 and 64 bits and NOT Vista Ultimate or business House. Computers Dell will not have a certificate of authenticity if you use the Dell supplied DVD on a Dell computer. The bios detects that it is a Dell disk and a Dell system and is not a certificate of authenticity'.» Good luck with the new OS!

• The installation of Vista Edition family program Premium 64 bit does not work and CleanUp Utility does not work.

  Whenever I try to install or to uninstall or upgrade programs even I can't do so until the Windows Installer will not work.  I downloaded the cleanup utility and it will not run.  It stops with "internal error 2908" and if I continuously press the OK key it will then stop the installation with "Error 1406".  It is really a nuisance and need to be repaired.  What can I do?

  Have you tried the logging option and if so did throw any light on the matter?

  Have you tried creating a new user and see if it is more likely?

  Looks like (for me) it's the access permissions problem that is behind all this?
