need new copy of xp

my mother has a xp computer. where can I get a copy of xp to extract a disc. because the old operating system is buggy?

Essentially, you do not have.

It is rarely necessary to do a complete new installation of Windows, but if you really want to do it, most likely starting point would be to determine if the computer in question came with a hidden restore partition that can be used to restore the computer to "fresh from the factory" condition.

XP will be completely supported in more than a year, and copies of the retail Windows XP CD have been unavailable for several years.  Although there may be copies put on sale of online merchants and auction sites, the chances that there are counterfeit are quite high.

A better option would be to determine if the hardware can support Windows 7 (if the computer is running, download and use the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor) and if he goes, buy a copy of Windows 7 while it's still available.

  • Need new copy of Audition 3.0

    I am a long time Adobe Audition 3.0 user and I am very happy with it. However I recently had to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 and the copy of the installer I have does not work. Where can I get a clean copy of Adobe hearing 3.0? And will it work in Windows 7?

    I'm certainly not interested by any software that I need to plug in the cloud or any part of the internet to use.

    Hi sourdoughjim1,

    The activation servers supporting Audition 3 and versions earlier have been taken offline.  New facilities will require a different Installer and serial number.  More information and download links are available athttp://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-act ivation-end - life.html

    Audition 3 has not been tested on Windows 7 and you could face compatibility problems.

    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:

  • Reinstalling the software after replacing the drive, ability to access the sites via Firefox gradually shrunk so I can not possibly download a new copy of

    Need to reinstall all the software for non-native Mac (OS 10.9.1) at a MacBookPro 2009 vintage, I had installed Firefox v. 27. As I tried to connect to the web links (which many were not problematic), I started gradually to meet the pages that would never load. Then I got a similar behavior with URL entered manually (only some; gradually more frequent). I had installed some standard modules of privacy, but I uninstalled then them. I tried to reset Firefox without result. I freshly reinstalled (or so I thought) nothing works. I tested the performance against the native Safari and initially had some problems but could access certain websites. At the point where I realized I should do a clean removal of Firefox, I was no longer able to access to any site of Mozilla in any way, except the Help menu on the installed copy and who wouldn't let me download a new copy of v.27. I was able to access a CNet Firefox download page, and he agreed than an interrupted download request but each test (5). I'm hoping to learn a way (may need to be drop the a v. 27 dmg, but hope not) to return to the operation.

    I am also successfully to access the download sites. I think that it is now OK. Thanks a lot for the replies and suggestions. The firewall seems to have been it.

    the problem is:
    1: your portege bios does recognize that some machines CDROM
    2: the installation procedure for Windows XP do not know how to deal with these CDrom devices

    the only way is to return to a DOS (fat32) environment and load the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM USB from a floppy, then start the BACK-XP Setup (winnt.exe)

    Installation of xp and blue screen of death

    Hello

    I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

    Then, tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home.  Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "Blue Screen of death" appeared during the installation of the drivers. Restarted and installing XP as normal to repeat the first onboard staged and went to the "blue screen" at the same point as before.

    Using some diagnostic software, I reformatted the drive again, loaded XP set up and I had the same problem.

    Someone knows what to do?

    How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

    Impose a HAL

    To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

    1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:

      Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

      Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

    I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

    Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.
