Tried to reinstall XP on my laptop after installation of windows 7 and xp disks had missing files: cmnicfg.xml, ipcfgxml, osinfo.xml, potscfg.xml and pppcfg.xml. What should I do now?

I installed Windows 7 on my laptop and it terribly slow. I used the XP disc and tried to reinstall it. Came in halfway through the messages that he was missing the following files: cmnicfg.xm, ipcfg.xml, osinfo.xml, potscfg.xml and pppcfg.xml. Now, it does nothing. Help!

Hi SharonPittman,

(a) you suggest to clean the Windows XP installation CD with a piece of cloth & then try to install windows XP.

For more information, see these links.

How to install or upgrade to Windows XP

Reference: Install, reinstall, or uninstall Windows

(b) if the problem persists, there is possibility that the Windows XP CD is damaged.

I recommend buying a Microsoft Store installation disc.

You can contact Microsoft Store at the link given below.

Hope the helps of information.
Please post back and we do know.

    The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

    Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

    See you soon

    Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
    Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

    It is their software.

    Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

    You say that the hard drive has failed.

    He could have more than just tough that failed.
    You can have other hardware issues.

    Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

    Good luck with Dell.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • I accidentally deleted iPhotos after installation of El Capitan and were not able to download or reinstall.

    I accidentally deleted the iPhoto app on my new mac after installation of El Capitan and are not available for download, except the updates, which obviously doesn't work. How can I get that back?

    You can probably not - most likely, you will need to switch to Photos (what would happen sooner or later anyway)

    Have you looked under purchases in the app store?  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

    If it is not there you can try reinstalling iPhoto 11 of the original source and the upgrade to 9.6.1 but I doubt it will work

    Or you can try to restore your backup from just before you shape did this error

    Good luck

  • Flash Player 21.0.0.242 does not work on Firefox 46.0.1 after installation of Windows 10

    Flash Player 21.0.0.242 does not work on Firefox 46.0.1 after the installation of 10 Windows on a laptop of Dell XPS 17 L702X. Continuously, it crashes. It works great with IE and Chrome.

    I tried the following:

    -Disabling Add-ons on Firefox

    -Do a clean installation of Flash Player

    -Do a reinstall of Firefox

    When I use "Flash Player Help" to check if Flash Player is installed, he said that my operating system is Windows 7. It is not; It's Windows 10. I used recommend it download when I looked at the Adobe Web site.

    What should I do to get Flash Player to work on Firefox?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    fine. I left the 32-bit version on my computer at the moment.

  • My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    Hello

    You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • display zip files... what should I do now to see the content of my zip file?

    Sir ihave downloaded songs on the internet that is downloaded as a zip file format... and I have change the path of the zip opening and is open with internet explore form.and, now when I open my file zip my scenn begin to blink heavlyy after that I have to do my computer turn off or restart...

    What should I do now to see the content of my zip file?

    Please help me...

    You must extract the files zip first and then open it with a program that can open that particular file type.  So in this case, even if you use Internet Explorer to download files, you must use Vista to extract to the desktop (downloads or music where ever you choose) by right-clicking on the download, unzip the folder and create a new folder with the decompressed files and then you can use WMP or any program you use to play the songs.  But it does not work because of the changes that you did - but we can fix that easily enough.  It happens quite often with many different programs (ZIP especialliy because a lot of people care less about the ZIP of Vista program and cause problems in trying to change).  I suggest that you pay attention to what we're about to do what it will be probably useful more than once to you later for other types of files (I use it often, but I use it often when I install a new program and do not have default values, he created).  Although the first procedure is for most of the types of special system files and so generally used only for repairs (with the exception of ZIP), the second (if you actually need to use it) works with all other types of files.  I recommend that you create a new folder in the Favorites, called "File Association Changes" and add these links so that they will be easy to find if you need again.

    Here, the first thing we need to do is Zip file association fix it back to Vista of Internet Explorer.  Go to:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to ZIP and then click or double-click on it to run the program that will reset the association back to its default values.  If you don't like the Vista Zip program, I recommend trying 7 - Zip free but excellent:http://www.7-zip.org/.  If you wish, set as the default zip file by using the following:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/20/how-to-edit-or-change-file-type-or-extension-associations-default-programs-in-windows-vista/.  If you wish, you can add send to 7 - Zip to the right-click context menu as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67599-send-context-menu.html.

    Once, when you find a zipped song you want, download it to the desktop or wherever you choose and use the 7-Zip program (depending on what you set as the default value) is the Vista to unzip the file, and then save the decompressed everywhere song where please.  You will now be able to play with any player you who manages songs with this type of file (if you click twice on the song, it should open the default program and start playing automatically).  Now you can do what you want with the original zip file you have now the actual file - you can save it if you want (although I don't see why you need to do when you have the actual file) or you can simply remove as needed.

    That's all. The problem should be solved and you must use the program ZIP Vista or 7 - Zip to unzip all zipped files or folders (downloaded or received as attachments to emails, or transferred by a flashdrive or however obtained).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
