Reinstall Windows XP Home Edition on a Dell Dimension 8100

Similar Questions

• I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition on a Dell Optiplex GX260, and now I can not conntect to the internet.

  I am going through the help pages, but do not receive a lot of help. I used the window network, set up several times and it doesn't give me a single connection and even will not create a second try. It's 1394 connection. I click Repair and he says: "failed to query TCP/IP connection parameters. Cannot continue. »
  I normally work with unix/linux, windows do not know. Carrying high that IE gives me the generic, the page cannot be displayed error. It goes right to that error, does not even attempt verify an active connection.
  I have one router with 3 other systems connected and working, so I know that the problem is specific to this host.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  Darren

  Just as with * nix, if you want a hardware device to communicate with the operating system - you must install the appropriate drivers so that they can talk to each other.

  At this point, you are trying to use a firewire connection (1394) to your network. ;-)

  What you need to do is quite simple - but will probably require the use of another machine (or another OS already on the machine that runs on Internet) at least for the first downloads (the motherboard chipset and the NIC driver).

  If you visit the Dell technical support & downloads from the website for this particular desktop , you will see all the drivers that Dell provides for the system using Windows XP.

  Dell offers you download and install the drivers in this order:

  • Chipset
  • Video adapter
  • (NIC) Network Interface Card
  • Audio adapter
  • Modem
  • Wireless network card
  • Touchpad, pointer, pointing button, mouse and keyboards
  • Other devices

  In this case, I suggest that download you the chipset driver and network card driver - get first install them in this order with some necessary reboots, then you should be able to configure Internet and get other drivers using the machine itself.

  Hi KevinRy,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Unplug all external devices.

  Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

  1.	Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
  2.	Click the Advanced tab.
  3.	Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
  4.	Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
  5.	Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

  Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L40 - no sound after reinstalling Windows XP Home edition

  I really need help from anyone out there. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my Toshiba Satellite L40 after that I realized, there is no sound. I tried to install all kinds of updates, drivers and all, but still nothing.

  All make me is that I have no audio device.
  Grateful for the help as soon as possible.
  Holla.

  Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?
  Are you sure that you have installed all the drivers?

  Have you installed SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP? You must at least use SP2 for XP.

  And as said Akuma, check the Microsoft KB to the hoftixes. Before you apply this update, you must remove the driver. Otherwise it will not work.

  You can also search in the forum, there are already discussions on this topic.

  I have WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC 64 - bit version of license with key in my laptop. I want to reinstall my windows but don't have CD or DVD.

  Hello

  During the installation you have selected the option "format"?

  No virus is not on the Microsoft Disc.

  I suggest that you download and run a full scan of the system to the Microsoft Safety scanner help.

• I just had to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition on my old Dell which service pack do I need?

  So I think that the original XP windows 5.1 so that needs to be updated as well as service packs.  I have to install pack SV 1, 2 and 3?  I don't think you can even get more 1 or 2.  SV 3 Pack will take place from the other two?

  You will need to install SP1a or SP2 first and then install SP3; Windows XP without SP3 is not officially supported (support for Windows XP SP2 ended July 13, 2010).

  To install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) is installed, see the page linked below for more details:
