  Hello

  The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
  You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

  Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to

  Without information about your hardware configuration and installation of the software - it is unclear why * your * Windows XP installation can be slow.

  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.)

  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.

• cannot get the keyboard to select windows xp when I have only four seconds to select is stuck on windows xp professional and cannot get the keyboard to use arrows to select

  cannot get the keyboard works when reebooting said cd I need driver sata when reebooting he gives four seconds to schrol up to windows xp but the line is highlighted on a windows xp profesional bellows and can't seem to choose windows xp on its own keyboard wont respond but lights from F1 or f2 f3 until f12 choose please help

  A few old machines will not recognize a USB keyboard/mouse until after Windows starts.  Look at the back of your computer and see if you have a PS/2 (round) connector for a keyboard and a mouse.  If you do, then you will need to use a keyboard with a round PS/2 connector or a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and plug the PS/2 connector on the back of your computer so that it recognizes the keyboard until Windows starts on your keyboard.

  The SATA driver applies to your hard drive.  A CD of start-up/installation of Windows XP does not recognize a SATA hard drive.  If you install Windows, you will need to hit F6 at the right time and insert a floppy with the SATA driver on this subject.

• Why is windows 7 so slow to view associated compared to xp network devices and earlier?

  If you google, you'll see tons of people have a problem in the windows Explorer, which brings to the top of the list of the computers on the domain. It wasn't and issue prior to Vista and Windows 7. XP works fine and always has.

  I saw so many responses from microsoft for this and all the same. Update drivers, file cleanup, defrag your drive (what a joke). It seems that microsoft engineers pick the standard response in some wiki and post it.

  I have access to an area with hundreds of computers and actions. Boxes of windows 7 them browse at all. The only way to find one is to type in the UNC in the address bar and it find it instantly. XP machines to fill the browse list in a time very short, which allows you to click on them.

  Microsoft it has a problem that you dance around. There is a bug any windows Explorer 7.  We need a service pack or a hotfix, not a bunch of excuses.

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional of a DVD on the ProBook s 4530?

  So I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed on my laptop and I want to get rid of it completely and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit from a DVD.
  I don't want to use windows anytime upgrade somehow! Because I have a few serious bugs with my current installation and a clean install, I can be sure to get rid of them

  I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how exactly to do this and if all my data will be deleted. If so, will it download all drivers HP and the software again by myself? :/

  Bugs are not serious but they affect several programs and it is impossible to use my laptop, I was doing.
  And no, I have no recovery option, I don't have any dvd with my laptop, or something like that and personally I didn't do all the backups. Which was a mistake that I won't repeat.
  In addition, because of my college, I get a free copy of win 7 professional so why not use it?
  I have already burned on a DVD, now I just need to detail how a facility own n_n
  So after I installed win 7 Professional I just copy and replace Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE instead of download the drivers?
  BTW, I'll accept your next answer as the snap

  You will use the copied Driverstore and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE for is the source of the drivers when you then. Do not replace the folder in the new installation of Windows with the folder that you copied from the initial installation of Windows. It would not be a good idea.

  Once you have done the copy of the file and have it practice you can simply put the installation DVD into the DVD drive and boot from it. There will be a point where asks you if you want to save your previous installation. Say no to it.

  At this stage you can always do a defined recovery disk. I recommend that you do this. This is the copy of the operating system and drivers you purcased your PC with. If you do not want is not a problem like UO can always buy it at HP over the next years.

• XP Professional x 64 Edition for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade. The best way?

  Hi you all, experts,

  I want to spend my edition of Windows XP Professional x 64 (legit) to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't think I need additional options in 'Ultimate', but I need, I am sure, XP mode that comes with "7 Professional".

  Maybe I should mention at this point that I am a member of the program saved Reacondicionador, until you feel that I was fully authorized to "renovate" my own PC.

  First of all a question about Windows 7 itself: -.

  As I said, I need to be able to run certain programs that have been written for XP. The expression "run several Windows XP programs in Windows XP Mode (separate download) company" in "features" means that I have to pay extra for this option? If Yes, how and where to go?

  Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

  Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

  1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

  2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

  3) "Retail", the more expensive but, I understand that, can be transferred or installed on a PC refurbished, although it is only has a license valid on a PC at the same time. Is there a difference between "Retail" and "Upgrade"? Can I use one over the other? If so, why? Is there a difference?

  4) authentic software. Is it possible that I can know without having the product in my hands, or installed on my system, whether or not an article supposed to be "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit" is actually authentic. Is there a relevant question, can I ask which would identify a fake before I part with my money?

  Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

  No, Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode is free for users of Windows 7 Professional. To learn more:

  Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

  Personally, I've used several graphic programs 2D and 3D even on Windows XP Mode, include The Print Shop, PhotoDraw 2000 v2 and they work very well to this topic. The article I linked to provide instructions how to publish your applications, you can use alongside Windows 7 applications.

  Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

  1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

  No, you will need to purchase a new license if your Windows 7 OEM System Builder License fails. You could of course try install and reactivate the components on the new motherboard before buying a new license, because some people have been 'lucky' get it reactive but is is not a guarantee. If the motherboard is replaced based on a defect or warranty, you should be able to reactivate the replacement motherboard.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

  If you do not want to restore Windows XP someday, I suggest that you backup before migrating to Windows 7.

  EaseUS TODO Backup free - CNET Download.com

  You cannot upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7. Especially in the case of Windows XP Professional x 64, you need start a custom Setup by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  Both are the same with one exception.

  Full version - does not require a license of previous qualification.

• Windows 7 Professional is not compatible with the WPS ENABLED?

  Hi all:
  I have a desktop (HP Pro 3500 Series) with Windows 7 Professional and another laptop (HP COMPAQ CQ58) with Windows 8, 1 pro.
  My internet provider is Jasstel, and it worked perfectly in my two computers.
  I decided to activate the WPS of the router (comtred AR 5387un) and they started the problems. The laptop with Windows 8, 1 runs normally.
  The desktop with Windows 7 without work and it does not allow the connection to the Internet. The generated error is security configuration, it is incorrect.
  I erased the net so that I have again the password. You ask that I introduce the safety key from the net. I introduce the key (which she's right, because it works in another computer), and he told me that I should he Nail or the sentence of the password is not right and there is not the case.
  The only thing you change is the operating system. Windows 7 is not compatible with active WPS?
  I thank any help no I don't know what to do.

  A cordial greeting.

  Text of the Decree No. presidential East I translated it with a commercial translator. I am ignorant of the quality of the translation. Excuse me, otherwise it is all about what is good who do.

  Hello colambrero,

  This model is a class computer business and would be better asked in the forum of the Business Enterprise community.

  Here is the link to the appropriate section. http://h30499.www3.HP.com/T5/business-PCs-Compaq-Elite-Pro/BD-p/BSC-271

  I offer you my thoughts.

  I was wondering why you have decided to activate the WPS? It's easier to connect wifi devices but also creates security problems.  WPA2 with a good password is more reliable in my opinion.

  In addition, your Wifi adapter must be compatible WPS and I can't confirm if your model has one or not (I assume it does).

  Windows 7 that has Service Pack 1 installed? SP1 has a fix for problems with connections WPS for Windows 7.

  Personally, I would consider not not using WPS for security issues.

  Here is an article to example of Sophos Security explaining why not to use WPS.

• Can I download Windows 7 Professional for free and use the product key I have?

  I was WONDERING IF SOME COULD HELP OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT of WAY TO GET a DOWNLOAD FREE Windows 7 Professional, I ALREADY HAVE THE PREMIUM AND I WANT PROFESSIONAL GRADE

  I never said that I won or purchased key I had when I had pro on my other computer when needed to get a new I sold my old so if you want to continue to help me it's cool if noit I understand

  If the computer you sold is supplied with Pro pre-installed on it, it would be an OEM license and cannot be used on another computer.

  If it was an upgrade of retail full version and you delete or Pro to him before you sold the other computer, you would not be able to use Pro either again on another computer.

  The only way that you can reuse the activation key again is if the key is not in use on another computer and is a commercial version.

  You also do not need a disk to upgrade to Home Premium to Pro either. All you have to do is upgrade from Home Premium to Pro by making an Express upgrade that only requires an activation key.
