• I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

  I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

  I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

  

  Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

  • PCs
  • Laptops
  • Tablets
  • Smartphones
  • Smart TV
  • Printers
  • Networked storage
  • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

  Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

  I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

  If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

  Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

• Newly installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 works not properly.

  I have a Dell Dimension 4300 S and I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 from the disc I have. When I try to download the SP2 and SP3 from Microsoft I get this box that says "extraction error." I can't download anything and sometimes, when I'm on the internet on this computer, it says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report and, sometimes gives me the blue screen and starts dumping memory. Also, it wont let me on the Windows Update page and the computer won't auto updates.

  Does anyone know what is the problem? I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 two or three times now and linked the repair disk, and I always get the same problems.
  Let me know if I have to give any specs or whatever it is.

  Love the help I'm getting here. :)

  After having reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a have you installed the necessary drivers? This includes drivers for the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN (network adapter), and so on.  If this is not the case, check the page linked below:

  Since SP1a was part of the reinstallation, you will only need to install SP3. The page below the States 'in order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) "installed.".

   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/learn-how-to-install-Windows-XP-Service-Pack-3-SP3

  IMO, it's better to download SP3 for:

   http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  I know that the above download is 316 MB and will take time to download, but from my experience, I had much better luck with that route. In addition, you can then save SP3 on a CD if you need to reinstall again.

  Finally, the following page should help you in the process of installing SP3:

  I need help

  Hi aqm0207,

  How you try to install Windows XP Home Edition?

  You may receive an error message "Stop 0x0000007B" in the following scenarios:

  (a) a device driver that your computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.

  (b) a device driver that needs your computer startup controller is damaged.

  (c) It can also occur if the hard drive in the BIOS configuration is bad.

  You can check if the SATA hard drive is correctly configured in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & can also update the BIOS. If you are not comfortable to do, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  You can also check this link:Advanced troubleshooting of errors "Stop 0x0000007B" in Windows XP

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on Xp Pro. How do I?

  I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on XP Pro. How do I? I load it in the drive, reboot and it won't work.

  Without going into why you might want to do this, you may access your computer's BIOS and change the order of boot devices so that it looks first at the CD player.  When you start the computer, watch the screen carefully.  There will be a message that says something like, "to change the system settings, press F1.  The exact text, as well as the key, may be different.

  Restart the computer and press the key as soon as you see the message (you'll probably just a few seconds).  Once you are in the BIOS configuration utility, navigate using the arrow keys, the tab and button.  Navigation instructions usually appear at the bottom of each screen.

  Here's a 'how to' with screenshots.  Your computer may not be identical, but this should help you in the right direction: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm

• Can not install the new copy of windows xp home edition

  A friend has built a computer for me and my friend it works for me.  Everything goes ok, then it stops working because the friend has installed a pirated copy of Windows XP Professional on this topic.  OK, I'm a little angry, but I can cope.  I had bought a new copy, never been used before, Windows XP Home Edition a couple of years to my old copy that I ended up not using.  When this happened, I thought it would be great, I could install that.  So, I turn on my new computer and let it boot.  When it comes to the screen, saying that I don't have an authentic copy of Windows installed, I open my CD drive, and then press the button so he can go back into the computer.  I have no mouse or keyboard control so I can't select all and nothing happens after that the disk will inside.  Nothing, I can't even hear anything running.   I would try to solve this problem without having to take Office Depot where they charge me $ 99 for "try" to fix it.  I don't have a job, so fix me it is my only option.  Any help out there in the cyberland?  Thanks for any help.  I'm on my dad's computer if you're wondering how I'm even able to send this way.  Laughing out loud

  I do not understand what you're doing or why nothing seems to happen, but the fundamental question that you have, it's that you cannot "upgrade" from XP Pro to XP Home.

  Assuming you can still start Windows (even if you get the notice that it is not authentic), copy all your data on some external support (external drive, USB flash, CD, DVD) and then perform a new installation of XP Home.  Once Windows is installed, you need to restore these data and you will need to re - install applications (programs) that you have installed (for example, Microsoft Office), so you'll need to find the installation for the applications media.

  Because it is a home-built computer, you must obtain all the necessary drivers on the web sites of various hardware manufacturers.  Most likely you will need are motherboard (chip), display (video), (audio), network (including wireless and modem) and any device (e.g., printers).

  Use the computer that you use to post here in order to download drivers and save them to a flash drive or burn them on a CD.

  I guess that your boyfriend (ex?) didn't give you all the documents with the computer (e.g., the motherboard manual or manuals for other equipment he installed).  If you can enter in your current Windows installation, click Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Click on the 'Components' category and look at the different devices to determine their models and manufacturers.  Motherboard information (you need to get the drivers of chip set) is not indicated in msinfo32.  Use BelArc Advisor (free)

  How to do a clean install of XP:

  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  Don't forget - when installing from a Windows XP CD, you'll probably not the current service pack (service pack 3) and you will certainly not have current security patches.  You too have an antivirus.  Get instant access to Windows Update (do not go to other websites) and download critical updates.  Probably, this will take time and may require several reboots and go back to Windows Update.  When all updates have been installed, install an antivirus.

  If you are willing to pay for an anti-virus, eSet NOD antivirus (not the "suite").  Otherwise, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir Personal.  At some point after that things are settled down, you should also get the free versions of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  You don't need the "pro version" that work all the time; You must only update and run these scanners on a periodic basis just to be sure that you have not picked up a malware that is slipped beyond your anti-virus.

• You will need to re - install windows xp home edition after hardware failure.

  Hello

  I have an old e-machines computer desk (T1842) I bought nine years ago. It comes preinstalled with microsoft windows xp home edition, there is little time, we had a power surge in our House because of an act of God. I didn't throw this computer, so I bought a new power supply and a new motherboard for my computer running again. This is where my problem occurs, the hard drive on this computer became corrupt, and I have to re - install the operating system on it. The only software that has been arranged for me at time of purchase was a two disc set of what e machines calls "recovery disc". I tried to use these disk to get my computer running again, but there seems to be a hardware conflict now because I had to replace the motherboard, etc... What can I do to get my computer working again, of course, I still have the certificate of authenticity of microsoft / label the product key provided on the back of my computer at the time of the purchase, but the product key does not seem to help me solve this problem. I do not want to get my computer working again, it would be nice if I could get a new disk of software that would be compatible with this new motherboard, etc.. Can someone help me please?

  Thank you

  David

  FWIW... The motherboard came with a driver disk? If you use the recovery disk, I don't think you will be able to re - install windows from scratch. Even if you could you would have problems with the product key code, since the code you have is registered to the old mobo. You can click on the link below and follow the instructions to create a Utlity Cd, allowing you to recover your data on the hard drive. It is also full other little tools that will be useful.

• How to save with pre-installed Windows XP Home edition SP3 but no install disc?

  I want to save data files on desktop with preinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP3.  I don't have access to an installation disc.   How can I get a?

  You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

  [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

  Acronis True Image Home 
  Paragon backup and recovery home
  Casper 6.0
  Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)

  If you really want to use NTBackup (worth what you pay for it), see http://www.ihatedroz.com/windows-backup-utility-without-cd

• Blue screen when you try to install Windows XP Home Edition on Satellite L350D-11 has

  Hello

  When booting with Kubuntu Live CD (8.x) appears an error message: / sbin/modprobe out anomalous.

  At least I need Windows XP because of some programs that do not work under Vista. Is it possible to install XP?

  Hello

  Hmm I think the BSOD appears because you didn t add SATA drivers in the Win XP operating system.

  However, you can try to install Win XP on your laptop without the use of the SATA driver, but you can change the SATA AHCI in the BIOS in compatible mode.

• I lose the connection Wireless for Windows XP Home Edition

  Hi, my first question here!  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows XP Home Edition.  I have a Linksys wireless router.  Regularly, when the laptop hibernates or sleeps and turns the WiFi connection is lost.  Trying to 'fix' or 'connect' is usually unsuccessful.  Most of the time, after the reboot, it reconnects. Any suggestions?
