Need to uninstall the old version of XP and install XP Media Edition.

I have two computers - an a new laptop with XP Media Edition 2005; the other an older desktop with XP only. When I boot to the desktop, I always get a message that either a single file is missing or damaged. After a couple of reboots, it usually manages to pass these messages and lights. Sometimes, it's not, and I have to press F8 and begins a series of troubleshooting (such that start Windows normally, use the last good configuration, etc.) Sometimes I even go to the start menu or start menu and help out there as well. It can be a big hassle. Don't know what is happening, except that the XP operating system has a few kinks in there. So, I would like to only uninstall and install XP Media Edition 2005 since the backup drive that I have for my laptop. Please, anyone, Advisor to the best way to to do. Thank you.

Good idea.  And sometimes the System File Checker can solve problems without the need of a CD

    Different versions of Adobe software installed in their own separate files on your hard drive, so they can happily coexist on the same computer.

    You can always launch and use older versions at any time, even if it is often recommended to first close all apps that you don't use.

  • How can I solve this problem of 'Two versions of Adobe', then only the most recent version remains activated, the old version remains DISABLED, and/or uninstall the old version?

    I went to my addons tab, and I have, in fact, have two versions of shockwave flash, a 11.9... version and a 13.9, which, if I'm not wrong, is the latest version. There is a 'request to activate, activate always, never activate' button for EACH module. I clicked on never turn on the old version and the closed tab. I then tried to play a video on the Web. He would not play, I tried another site with the same result, so I went back to my tab add-on, and the button for the old version had changed again to "always enable" in itself. He continues to repeat this, and WILL NOT stay on "never activate. Whenever I return to the page complementary modules, THE NEW VERSION IS DISABLED, SO THAT THE OLD ONE. I tried to uninstall the old version, but when I go into Control Panel and make the contents of the file, the old version is not yet there. I did start, search and typed in "Adobe", and the old version is NOT FOUND! The two versions to change back the turn on button and they both will disable themselves, no matter how many times I fix it! SMH!

    No worries, I was just starting.

    The Flash plugin is stored in this folder:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    

    The filenames for the plugin in Firefox have this model:

    NPSWF32_13_0_0_206.dll
    

    where the middle part (not in bold) is the version number of the plugin.

    Update from Adobe should normally remove older versions, but if they are actively used, it is possible that the update is not able to remove them.

    If you find the file, try to delete or move the temporary office.

    Firefox may not immediately realize that the file has disappeared, but hopefully that will detect only after the next time you're out and start it back up when it updates its scan plugins.

    A little luck?
