  • Need to reinstall completely Windows - XP Home Edition due to a virus

    I need to completely reinstall Windows XP Home Edition due to a virus, but the virus prevents me from doing this.  Should I start in SafeMode (F8) to reinstall it?

    Hi André,.

    Best way to clean install OS is to boot from the windows xp CD. You will need to configure your CMOS to set the boot order to CD/DVD drive as the first drive. While the XP CD in the drive start your pc, press a key when you are prompted "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM..." Select clean install (you need to press ESC to repair the windows installation ". You will get an option to format the partition, format and install the operating system.

    Clean install will ask you to:

    -> Reactivate windows.

    -> Install all of the software required.

    -> Backup / restore your important data.

    -> All drivers.

    BTW, what is the virus, that you are not able to clean... Try to download available from www.download.com free antivrus, update and scan.

    You can also run malware-removal tools software (click on start-> Run Type & -> mrt.exe-> ok).

    Try to download www.safer-networking.org/ for spyware spybot.

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A200 - need ACPI Driver for Windows XP Home edition?

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A200-13U Notebook and installed WinXP top.
    I found all the drivers, but the ACPI driver is missing and I can't find it.

    Can someone help me please?

    At the moment there is no help. I'll tell you why. To resolve this problem, you need to install the 'password utility"or"Utility supervisor password". This issue is described on the document tracking http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7501W20006R01.htm descriebe Briefcase with Vista, but I presume that it is the same with Windows XP Home edition.

    So the problem is that this new A200, there is no Windows XP Home edition utility. For now A200 is not supported WXP.

  • 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.

  • 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://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_home_install_-_graphic.htm
    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.

  • New installation of Windows XP Home edition on Qosmio F20 - sound card errors

    Hello

    I am one of those who is very reckless on internet and download a lot of spam and viruses along the way. I keep, but I'm also obsessive compulsive on the backup of my important files, so when my computer flip out on me, I just wipe it clean and continue!

    I stick to windows XP because some software I use still does not work on Vista, and I also install a completely new copy of XP instead of recovery as bundles of Toshiba with my laptop. Why? Because I lost it...

    Anyway, I've been tracking the drivers to get the last bits of the material work and all seem to work well! The only problem I have is with the (Yes, you guessed it!) sound card driver!

    I have a Qosmio F20 and have no idea of what sound card is actually inside this thing, I have always used SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio drivers and they do most of the work very well, but they seem to have problems when I try to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Soundbooth. Both programs complain that there is no sound card and then refuse to open,

    As far as I know, the driver that I use is by 'Analog Devices' and v5.12.1.5240. I don't know if it's really any help at all!

    Does anyone know which driver is correct to use and where to find it, or is the fault, I have just an inevitable?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello Pav

    Have you installed Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 included?

    On the Toshiba download page, there is a driver available and I do not understand why you think that this is not the right one. The same driver will be installed if you use recovery CD/DVDs.

    You not only peut lose, you go. You can not do a upgrade of
    XP to Windows 7. Although you can use a Windows 7 upgrade copy,
    Since XP, you need to do a clean install with it.

    And how I can save it without copying the data to another location. Thank you

    Copy your data to another location - to external media.
    As you apparently don't do this on a regular basis, let me tell you that you
