The difference between Windows XP and Windows XP Professional?

I have a laptop with Windows XP Home edition and another with Window XP Professional. I am a Mac person so I have no experience with Windows, but I need to buy a Windows disk so I can install it on one, or perhaps two, laptops. What is the difference between the two operating systems and are they interchangeable? Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    If my assumption is correct, you are looking for which file to download service pack update.
    Worry not choose files. Download the .iso to the update file, either burn it or mount or extract it and install. These files are called the symbol files. They differ in the language, for example. frequency refers to the French version. They are used to debug the Service Pack and are not really necessary unless you start to run into problems and try to find solutions on your own.

  • What is the difference between Windows 7 OEM and the retail version of Windows 7?

    Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

    Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

    There is no difference in the product itself.

    Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
    even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
    commercial version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
    that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
    installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
    or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
    dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

    What is the difference between windows 7 pro debug/checked and simple windows 7 pro? /

    Regular accumulation is the regular version at retail of Windows because most of us use (SP1 or not).

    The build Debug/Check is specifically aimed at developers who developed to make it easier for the debugging flag
    drivers to be developed. This build runs much slower due to the abduction of optimizations and other functions.

    What is the difference between x 86 and x 64-bit windows?
    Why windows 8 is incompatible with the office that is capable of windows 7?

    Title: Original Windows 8.0 and 8.1

    The terms (x 86) 32-bit and 64-bit (x 64) refer to how a processor (also called a CPU), processes the information. The 64 bit version of Windows handles large amounts of RAM (RAM) more efficiently than a 32-bit system.

    You can try to install a 64-bit version of Windows 8 on a 32-bit version of Windows 7. You must use the 32-bit disc instead.

  • JavaScript - the difference between ' window ' and 'document.'?

    Hello

    I'm a Javascript newbie which ended just by the first screen of Captivate (CP9) (HTML5) using Javascript.

    A slide with several text entry areas (TEBs) and a Submit button, which performs a function to validate the TEBs (thank you David for have started me).

    I call the function in the script of the Submit button window and have Javascript code in the Index file.

    In the Javascript code, I used the ' windows ' and 'document '. (don't know if I've used them correctly but the works of Javascript)

    I don't really know the difference between them.

    In Javascript, I know that window is loaded in the browser first, then the document is loaded in the window.

    It's like the window is your browser window and the document is the HTML page inside.

    Also, you can use each of them to access specific properties - and window has a context.

    Some examples of my javascript:

    • window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue ("q1_fback", "");         -erase a message of feedback (text of legend with variable) associated with BER
    • document.getElementById("Text_Entry_Box1_inputField").style.border = 'solid red medium. "  -modification of the border of an object invalid BER (red)

    My question is:

    1. What is the difference between ' window ' and "document." in a context of Captivate?

    I will post you more questions to find out how:

    1 use loops to knock down my code

    2 reuse the same function in other slides

    Concerning

    Donal.

    Your assumptions are correct.

    the cpAPIInterface is in the window.

    The Text_Entry_Box1_inputField is in the document, not the window, but you can use:

    window.document.getElementById("Text_Entry_Box1_inputField").style.border = 'solid red medium. "

    Scope of variables depends on how and when they are declared, and it is generally best to limit their scope and not use them globally in the window object. All seem to be available in the cPs variables window.

  • What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

    Original title: is anyone know about MHT files?

    What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

    Hi Sheryl,

    Welcome to the Windows 7 community!

    I understand that you would like to know the difference between file MHT and HTM file. I'm happy to help you.

    MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a format to archive web page used to combine resources that are usually represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, audio files, Java applets) as well as the HTML code in a single file. The content of an MHTML file is encoded as if it were an email message to HTML, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first part of the file is normally encoded HTML; subsequent parts are additional resources identified by their URL original and encoded in base64. This format is sometimes referred to as MHT, after the suffix .mht given to these files by default when created by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. MHTML is a proposed standard, distributed in an edition revised in 1999 as RFC 2557.

    HTML Web page that is used by Web browsers; contains the code markup that is stored in a plain text format; used to display and format the text and images in a Web browser.

    HTM files serve the same exact than purpose. HTML files. The extension ".htm" appeared with the use of the Web Microsoft, such as FrontPage, SharePoint Designer and Expression Web development software.

    HTM files are much less common than HTML files.

    It will be useful. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  • What is the difference between Pro Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer 8.1ES?

    Hello

    What is the difference between Pro Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer 8.1ES?

    Thank you

    Hello

    They are two different programs.

    Acrobat

    This can be used to generate other types of document native PDF files. In addition, you can create forms that are called AcroForms. These retain most of the functionality that looks like in Acrobat to comment on.

    The form IS a PDF file.

    Acrobat is avialable for Windows and Mac.

    LiveCycle Designer

    This program is used to develop forms and is completely separate from Acrobat. The forms are called XFA forms, which means XML Forms Acrhitecture. The focus is quite the processing of data.

    While the forms that are created in the designer of the LC can be opened in Acrobat (Reader), they are not native PDF files and some of the features normally is not available. For example, while you can add data to the fields when the form is opened in Acrobat, you can not change the form itself in Acrobat. If you want to change the form, you will need to open again in LC Designer.

    It comes with the Windows of Acrobat Pro version. There isn't a Mac version of LC Designer.

    It's a broad overview brush, it could be useful.
