Need to upgrade a computer running Windows 2000 to Windows XP
We have a computer in the office that is still under Windows 2000. What improvements we need to run to bring it up to Windows XP, to match other desktop computers? Can I just buy a download of Windows XP, or is there an in-between system that must come first?

I have an ASP application developed with Interdev 6.0; part of .NET and using the time to design Windows server 2000 controls.
I need to upgrade the application to run on Windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0 ASP. I find some compatibility problems.
The part that I'm stuck at the moment is the creation of objects in the runtime that gives an error.
: "800a01ad" VBScript runtime error
Component ActiveX cannot create objectCode:
Set OF = Server.CreateObject ("DERuntime.DERuntime")
Application("de") = OF. Load (Server.MapPath ("overall. (ASA"),"_private/DataEnvironment/DataEnvironment.asa")The MSDERUN. DLL is properly registered on the server with the correct permissions.
What are the possible solutions outside the upgrade of all of the ASP.net project. ?

I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8. Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision. Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade. If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7. To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.

Windows XP need to upgrade to SP2 or SP3
Hello
I have Windows XP SP1. I need to upgrade to SP2 or SP3. There are free downloads online. can I use them? or should I buy from you? Please me know
Thanks in advance
You don't need to buy anything. If you check in Windows updates, service packs must be put at your disposal. (Unless it's an illegal copy of XP).
If you installed SP1a, you can ignore the SP2 and go right to SP3. If SP1 is installed, to install the SP2 and SP3.
Before you install, disable your antivirus and anti-spyware such as Windows Defender programs. If you are using another firewall, disable and enable Windows Firewall in the control panel for the installation. Once a requires SP3 and working, you can activate the third-party firewall and put the Windows Firewall. Do not keep the two running.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/UpgradeAdvisorInstallation - 'upgrade' means what?
Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:Back up any files and settings you want to keep
Install Windows 7
Reinstall all your files
Reinstall all the programs you want to use.
These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
