• Impossible to install the new Windows XP Home edition from scratch on Tecra S3

  With F6 in WXP install driver Toshiba raid (from USB floppy drive) properly installed first, partionating disc ok, continue to install Windows XP Home edition.
  WXP wants then again Toshiba raid drivers, installing WXP because he's not reading USB floppy (undirected). Do I need the recovery CD that I don't have.

  Hi guys

  I had a similar problem installing RAID on my old Qosmio.
  I didn't use the restore CD but the simple Microsoft Windows Boot CD.
  The problem was my incorrect installation procedure.

  After the installation of the driver the USB FDD drive RAID, the configuration of the installation works fine until I formatted the HARD drive or partition.
  This has been bad! Don't format or delete the partition after installing the RAID driver!

  In addition, make sure you use the right set of RAID! These settings can be checked in the BIOS! My Qosmio user manual provides lots of information about RAID. Did you check your user manual which settings are required to install the OS of Win CD?

  Do and good luck!

• How to set the password to protect the network, Windows XP Home Edition

  Another PC can directly access my computer on the Windows network, so I want to set a password to protect my computer.

  There are two basic methods to connect to a computer through a network.

  The first is through Remote Desktop connection.  This method requires that a user connect as if they were sitting in front of the computer.  So simply assign a password for each user in the user Panel must control this access road.  If I remember correctly, Remote Desktop connections cannot do XP Home computers, so this may not apply to you.

  The second is through the sharing of files on the network.  With XP Home (forced Simple File Sharing), each connection sharing file valid as long as the user "guest".  So to control this access, you must assign a password for the Guest user.

• How can I start my XP desktop PC using the original CD of the Windows XP operating system, but I don't remember my password?

  The last time I asked a question like that, someone made it is perfectly clear that they would not help me to crack a password..., three times. If you have any suggestions that may help me in fact, I'd be in your debt. Otherwise, save your time and ignore all this.

  I am trying to perform a repair to the XP operating system. When I try to boot from the CD drive using the original Windows XP disc, I can not connect. It's a dead-end.

  When I try to boot from the hard drive, the system reaches a certain point, and then it re-boots. If I just sit and watch, it keeps re-initialization. Strange thing is that recently, I changed the password. I simply do not remember what it is. And, seriously, I have experienced repeated amnesia episodes. The obvious thing to do is to keep my own hand written records..., I only using computers since 1982, before IBM introduced its first PC.

  The BIOS provides a way to clean up all the stored passwords? This is where I'm going next.

  I apologize for being a little rough. Part of that comes with age.

  Jeff

  Hello, Jeffrey. I just read one of your other threads. Brian Tillman brings a great point that you missed. The BIOS password (if it still exists) has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other passwords, including those for things like a Windows XP profile.

  Unless you have created passwords, while they do not exist. So, if you need to boot from the Windows CD using the Recovery Console, and you are prompted for a password, then chances are that just by pressing the Enter key (indicating an 'empty' or empty password) is all you need to do.

  So, if I were you, I would not at all concerned about your BIOS.

  In addition, I think you mentioned that you couldn't even see the administrator account. Assuming you have Windows XP Home Edition, this is how it is supposed to be. If you want to see it, you will need boot mode safe. Then you will see. :-)

  If you DID create a password and have no idea of what it is, there are tools to reset your password. But I think that people don't post links to these programs in these forums Microsoft (not very well why). But they are easy to find if you use a search engine.

  You say that you have recently changed a password, but you did not indicate what it was for. It is important to understand that the built-in Administrator account is NOT the same as another account that you are using happens to have administrator privileges. And assuming that you never set a password for the built-in Administrator account, so if you are using the Recovery Console, everything you need to do is press the Enter key.

  HTH.

• Error: File Asms needed Windows XP Home edition after repair of operating system. (Windows 7 upgrade)

  Original title: asms file necessary windows xp home edition, after operating system repair.

  I know it's old but I try to get on my mothers pc so it can transfer files to a drive hard usb. This computer had virus in there and caused certain files be rearranged. I took out the virus

  I could not access the Device Manager as he disappeared. The computer does not recognize the hard drive usb, so I decided to fix the pc using the re installation disc.

  The computer fixed itself, but now I get this message saying file asms is necessary. I tried to use the steps in this article (311755 KB), but still the same problem. I would like to use the recovery console, but I do not know the password for the administrator of safe mode.

  The computer that had repaired the operating system is a dell dimension 2350 and I used the original windows xp disc.

  I have a disc of windows 7 but the graphics card on the computer is less than adequate. I was wondering if I could calm down the graphics in the windows Classic theme for windows 7 will work and is it possible to save files because the computer is always on the xp Setup

  Your specifications (RAM) are not quite the minimum requirements for WIndows 7 as shown here:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

  However, Microsoft recommends 128 MB of RAM for XP as shown here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314865

  So I think that their minimum requirements are a lot of hooey for most environments.  He can run, but you're probably not going to it.

  If you want to see if you can get your work in XP (I'm not familiar with this problem), if you do a little research on Google for phrases like claire XP administrator password, I forgot XP administrator password reset XP administrator password, etc.. I'm pretty confident that you will find a way to go beyond this little bump on the road.  Simply clear the password and be on your way.

  We are supposed to simply not to tell you how to do such things, so I fall just a few tips :)

• Windows XP Home edition has crashed - how to return WXP and use with the product key?

  Hello. I bought an Equium L20 last year and after 1 year my windows crashed due to a virus. I want to know how to get a real windows xp OS because the product under my laptop key is always saved for me and is a legitimate product but I can't get windows because it was obviously preinstalled and no CD was given to me with the package.

  How can I get back Windows to use with my product key on my WIN sticker below my laptop.

  Hello

  First of all, it is very strange that recovery CD is not delivered with your laptop. It's hard to believe, but anything is possible. As you know after buying a new product, it is very important to check all orders sent with it and if something is missing, you must call the local as soon as possible and not to wait a year.

  Sorry but this key code belongs to original recovery image and you can't use it with every installation of Windows XP Home edition CD. In your case, there are two options:
  -You can buy the CD of facilities Microsoft original WXP (with the key correctly code) or
  -Contact the partner of service allowed in your country and order the new CD from recovery for your laptop model.

  All that s!

  Bye and good luck!

  I use windows XP Home Edition. It takes awhile to start when I turn on the computer. How can I speed up this process?

  original title: slow start
  • Faster processor.
  • Fastest hard drive.
  • Faster or more RAM/memory.
  • Less things loading at startup.
  • Appropriate and the most recent hardware device drivers.

  In XP, you can cleanup and optimize it in some way, by using the following tips:

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
