Is it possible to set up my computer with Windows XP to limit the time kids spend on this subject?
My kids use the computer too much and I want to limit the time spent on the computer to 2 hours per day. Is there a way to do this in Windows XP? I know you can do this with Windows 2000.

I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer. All new computers come with Windows 7. Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)? I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back. AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it. I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years. I would like to use XP on a new computer! I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer. Thank you very much!
Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.
If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.
Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.

New computer with Windows 7, stuck on the specific update
Hello world!
I have recently (last Saturday) purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 7 installed. The computer is now going through the standard (I guess they are standard) updates for Windows and successfully completed several rounds of them. Last night after having turned it off the computer began another series of updates, with 14 in the total bundle. She started 1 of 14 around 20:00 and started 4 of 14 at 22:30. From 08:30 the next morning, he was still on 4 of 14.
Is this an update that takes 12 hours to install, or is there another problem causing my computer to not to go beyond the update? I found no way to bypass the update or cancel it.Thank you!

Due to a computer crash (bought in 2004 with Windows xp and Office 2003 Professional), I bought a new one with Windows 7 and I try to install my old version of Microsoft Office 2003 Pro (bought around 2004 update). However the installation process does not recognize the older versions of Office (which were on my old machine and allowed me to exploit OP 2003). Is it possible to load my OP03 bought and already active on my new computer?

Solve a common problem of recovery.If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.________________________________________________________________
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

my computer with windows broken and now my new computer does not have windows, is it possible to get windows on my new computer from my old?
Hello
You tell us what type of license you have.
If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.
Read this information:
If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.
The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.
License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

When I turn on my desktop computer with windows xp on it I get a blue screen telling me that it is dumping physical memory. Why it does this and what I can do to fix the problem?
Hi KarenSellers,-What is the exact and complete verbatim of the error message that you receive? Thanks for mentioning the same thing with the error code that is displayed with the blue screen.Method 1: Try to start your computer in Mode safe mode and check if Windows loads successfully.
Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
Check out this link to do the same thing:
Method 2: Use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check if there is an error with the memory.Refer to the section "using the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool" from the link given below for the same: -
Transfer of Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 so that I can upgrade.
I have a Dell Dimension L433c with Windows XP loaded on and I always use it for now (I will throw it away as soon as I can do this transfer). I want to transfer programs from Windows XP and my Word and Excel files in addition to the other programs stored on the Dell on my new computer with Windows 7 Premium Home 32 bit on it and then update the programs.
My problem is that I can't save on Dell's CD drive and USB port is broken. I have connectivity to the internet and would like to send me the program and then save it to my new computer. I tried without success. Is there a list of guidelines that can guide me through this until I receive a call from home professional?It is not possible to transfer programs from one computer to the other. You will need to install the programs on the new computer, using the original installation CD or the installation files that you downloaded from the Internet.
