meaning of windows 95, windows 98, windows 2000, windows xp, windows vista, windows7

What are the meaning of these... windows 95, 98, 2000, xp, vista, 7?

Hello

The first version of Windows is Windows 1.0, which was released in 1985. Microsoft has released the second operating system was Windows 2.0 in 1987.

The third major version of the Microsoft Windows platform is Windows 3.0 in 1990, which offered better performance, advanced with 16-color graphics.

After Windows 3.0 was Windows NT which was code versioned as Windows 3.1. Then came Windows 95, which was code versioned as Windows 4.0.  Then, Windows 98, 98 SE, and Windows Millennium Edition each delivered as 4.0.1998, 4.10.2222, and 4.90.3000, respectively. Then all 9 versions x were counted as 4.0.

Windows 2000 code was 5.0, and then came the Windows XP that has been encoded in 5.1. This brings us to Windows Vista, which is 6.0 and finally Windows 7 is the next significant logical and 7th version in the versions of Windows family.

  • What is the problem: "Blue screen" means in Windows Vista Home Premium?

    I had a problem before in 2009 that says my computer has an unscheduled stop called 'blue screen '. It happened when I had the lid closed and when I close it, the computer can host until the cover is in place, and that's when the error occurred. It didn't happen, but I would like to know if it will happen. It happened twice before and I have the data on it. (Also, no solution ever since.) Anyone know what this means and how to prevent it from happening again? Thank you!

  • What is the bluescreen bccode e3 means on windows vista?

    How can it be solved?

    In mode "without fail" can you configure the computer to "clean boot" and then see if you can start in 'Normal' Mode - follow step 1 to clean boot:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    In addition, in Mode safe mode or Normal Mode if you can get there, can you zip the minidump in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder files and (provide link) available via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

    The following link has information about the use of Windows Live SkyDrive:

    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02dB-4665-993a-08d865088d65

    If you have problems to compress the minidump files copy the minidump files to another location such as a folder on the desktop

    In addition, you do not necessarily have compress the minidump files, you can download one at a time.

    By looking at the files minidump with a debugger can give an idea of the rub.

    I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

    You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

    You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

    At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

    And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

    Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

    Browse your Hard Drive manufacturer's website, download software from here and test your hard drive for errors.

  • Im trying to install the Nvidia drivers for my new video card and its saying that my operating system (windows vista 64-bit) is not compatible, which means they are 32-bit drivers, it's fake.

    Im trying to install drivers for a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 on my windows vista 64 bit computer. Every time I have try and start the download, it is said that my driver is not a 64-bit driver, which is false, and that my system is 64 bit, which is true. SO... after I click 'OK', it begins to download only to have another pop-up saying "Setup has detected that the system in use is not windows vista 64 bit" which it is. Basically its contradiction with himself. im confused.

    Im running windows vista 64-bit.

    I just upgraded to a Nvidia 9800GT, to a Nvidia GTX 260.

    In frustration, I deleted all the old drivers, but the new will not download.

    The first error says that the drivers are not 64-bit.

    The second error indicates the operating system is not 64-bit.

    Let the site nVidia Driver detect your video card. If it still does not work, contact nVidia for a solution... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  • I see two panoramas of Windows in my boot loader. One of them says Windows Vista Home Premium (recovered). That means the "recovered"?

    I have two OS and when I turn on my computer I have the option of both to charge in, but the name of my windows vista operating system on the bootstrapper is "Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium (recovered)."

    My question is what is the "Recovered" part of the name average? Its makes me think that I'm not using a full version of windows, or something!
    Any help on this would be greatly apreciated! Thank you!

  • I have Windows VISTA, but need Windows 2000 or XP

    I can not activate the fax or scan operations of my HP 4315 all-in-one with windows vista which is standard on this dell. What can I do to activate these features?

    Check out the HP Technical Support for your printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=1138342&sw_lang= &.  Download and install the latest driver for Vista and see if that helps (the fact that they have Vista drivers suggests that it is not a compatibility issue).  Also have utility downloads of diagnosis you can try that might help diagnose the problem (and maybe even fix).  If necessary, you can contact a technician using the:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/contacthp?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=1138342.  You can also try the HP Forums (there is one for your printer):http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/ct-p/InkJet.

    What version of Vista are you using?  You have the Fax Vista and the scan function activated (if available in your version)?  If so, try turning it off to see if that causes some kind of conflict with the HP software attempts to essentially do the same thing (or disable HP software and try to use the Vista software insttead if it is an option).

    The truth is, you need to obtain assistance from HP about this problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Vista and older computer games

    Will be a Windows vista compatibility for Windows 95/98/2000 computer game?

    Hello lordst3ph3n,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

    This a Yes/No/maybe answer.  Most of the software, games included, works with vista, and has very few questions, as appropriate.   However, some are not entirely compatible.  To check if your games is comapatible with Vista please visit the compatibility web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/

    If the game is he listed as compatible, you're all set.  If it is listed as not compatible, you will either need to contact the manufacturer of the game for all possible patches or it will be inconsistent and you will not be able to play at all.  If the game is not listed either, then it simply means that he hsaa was not tested yet and it could very well be compatible.  In this case, I would try to install / them and see if it works.  Alternatively, you can try to run the exeutable for the game in one of the compatibility modes listed in the properties of the executable file of the game.

    Thank you
