  • Windows XP Tablet PC / professional - touch screen does not

    Hello-

    I recently had an earlier version of a tablet pc. When you turn it on it say that Windows XP Professional is installed, the sticker on the bottom said, however, that it came originally with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. I contacted the manufacturer and they said that it is certainly the cause of the touchscreen doesn't work do not.

    Is there an add-on that I can download to fix? If this is not the case, how can I download the OS to create a restore cd? I'll contact the technical support, but they charge you $50 before you even e-mail. Thank you!

    Hi MissRanda,

    Unfortunately, you cannot buy Windows XP Tablet PC Edition separately because Windows XP Tablet PC Edition has specific hardware and it can only be obtained pre-installed on a Tablet PC computer.

    For more information, see this link.

    However, you can contact your computer manufacturer to get the restore for the particular model of tablet PC installed disks.

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

  • How downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows XP Home Edition?

    How downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows XP Home Edition?  I understand that what is happening back, but my printer & a lot of programs that I can not afford to replace now is not compatible with Win7.  I tried to insert the WinXP disc, but he says the facility is "blocked due to compatibility issues".

    Hello

    To install windows XP on windows 7, you need to start your computer while the cd is in the drive. This will allow the system prompts you to "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.." and then follow the instructions accordingly.

  • Operating system changed from Windows 7 to Windows XP Home Edition. You will need to download Audio Driver & video Controller.

    I changed the OS on my laptop Toshiba from Windows 7 to Windows XP Home Edition. Everything seems to work fine, except that there is no sound. Checked PC Device Manager and noticed that I need to download & install a high definition Buss Audio Audio driver and a video controller (VGA Compatible).

    You need visit Toshiba support and download the drivers that you need for Windows XP for your laptop model specific. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the system (or manufacturer) to write drivers for their products for different operating systems - not Microsoft.

    In addition, if your PC Toshiba laptop comes with Windows 7 so it's a fairly new machine, if this model was never sold with Windows XP may not be drivers for Windows XP.
