The basic knowledge of Windows XP

If you upgrade to Windows XP from an earlier version of Windows, you can choose 'Upgrade' or 'install a new copy. USON is recommended to select "Install a new copy" since only the upgrade can disrupt your system unstable. Back up your important files on a DVD, CD, USB drive or a Zip drive before installing a new operating system.

Published on October 25, 2001, Microsoft Windows XP is an operating system widely used and supported. Although other versions of Windows XP are available, the two most commonly used versions are:

XP Home Edition, which is intended as a successor to Windows 95, 98, and Me family

Professional Edition, which is intended as a successor to Windows NT and 2000 family
Microsoft has announced that it will provide updates and security fixes for Windows XP until April 2014.

Requirements
Minimum requirements for Windows XP are a 233 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, 1.5 GB of available disk space and a compatible SVGA video card. USON found that computers not exceeding do not these requirements run Windows XP poorly or not at all. USON strongly recommends that any system running XP have a CPU faster than 400 MHz and at least 256 MB of RAM.

    Windows Firewall is delivered with and is part of the Vista operating system.
    You already have it and, therefore, you do not need, or you, can download another Windows Firewall.

    original title: green screen recently started in windows media player for Vista 64-bit.

    It works very well for some videos (like those recorded uncompressed, or some codecs) but a single codec that I save it as coming out of Sony Vegas (Windows Media video V11) goes green screen with playback of the sound.

  • Windows 7 automatically switch to the basic theme (no aero). I need a way to disable this behavior.

    This is very similar to what is described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939423
    And here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaperformance/thread/c7b869e1-5138-48a3-b09d-419f76e2f728

    Scenario:
    On a 3 screen inches (1920 x 1080 each) Setup ran on an ATI HD4890 (1 GB of RAM, 2 screens running) + HD 3450 (256 MB RAM, 1 screen running), whenever anything graphic intensive is put on the HD3450-driven screen, Windows will complain "the color scheme has been changed in Windows Basic - the color scheme current has exceeded its allowed memory. then the color scheme has been changed automatically to improve performance.

    However, it is worth noting that the 3450 is not stressed at all (all the load is put on the 4890 according to GPU - Z).

    It shouldn't be a problem with the system (6 GB, on Win7 x 64) RAM or processing power (i7 920).

    Is there a way to disable Windows automatically "improving performance" by changing my theme?

    Hi whsper,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.

    Basically, the aero theme is enabled according to the video card.

    Windows Display Driver Model is the architecture of graphic driver for video card drivers that are running versions of Microsoft Windows starting with Windows Vista.

    WDDM driver model version 1.0 is that it does not support multiple drivers in a configuration multi-adaptateur, multi-screen, the latest version is 2.0 is introduced.

    Windows disables the window manager of the Bureau (DWM) that controls the transparent glass effect or other effects of the Aero theme. The DWM manages the office and the main display settings in Windows.

    I suggest you to check with your manufacturer for the latest drivers support your hardware configuration.

    Hope this information helped you.

    Just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Edition and decided to shrink the C: drive and create a D: drive.  Everything seems to go correctly, and I get to the 'End of Volume Wizard' screen without problem.  All the choices seem to be OK but when I click OK I get a warning that says "the operation you selected will convert selected basic disks and dynamic disks...". "I want to do this?  If I do, what are the consequences?  If I don't want to convert a dynamic disk how create a D: drive which remains a basic disk?

    Basic disks and dynamic disks are of two types of hard disk configurations in Windows. Most personal computers are configured as basic disks, which are the simplest to manage.

  • Problem with the virtual store to Windows 7 basic, home

    Hello, I have a problem with Windows 7 64-bit home basic e-store. What happened is that I have a program that I use to make small electronic circuits and it was working fine until a few days when I noticed that the design I was doing seemed to be locked - I can open it but I can't open the second tab of the main window, which I should be able to do. After much research I discovered that the problem was caused by the virtual store of Windows - system registers my designs. I need to disable this feature because it prevents me from doing my work. I tried many things including turning off virtual store in REGEDIT and it doesn't change anything. I have another computer with Windows 7 starter and I have no problem there at all. I searched the internet for ideas and found two to this site http://www.askvg.com/how-to-tweak-user-account-control-uac-options-in-windows-vista-home-basic-home-premium/

    In all no joy. Help, please. I would appreciate only the answers that have been tried and tested not something that is supposed to work.

    Thank you, Ed

    (Moved from Windows |) Windows 7 | Performance and Maintenance)

    I have a program that I use to make small electronic circuits and it was working fine until a few days ago.

    Given that things worked fine until a few days ago I would use system restore to set Windows back a week.
