• can I switch from win xp pro sp3 Windows XP Professional x 64

  I have an old computer Pentium (32 bit system) (2001) with max memory 2 GB and I wish to Exchange my c: drive to a new 64-bit computer that has the capacity of up to 16 GB of memory.  I am currently using win xp pro sp3 and I don't want to move to Vista or 7 because I'm very comfortable with win xp pro screens.  I'm assuming that win xp Pro x 64 edition is similar for win xp pro in that regard.  Current box has four scsi drives, 2 CD/DVD, 4 pci for creating music cards readers, card Radeon video (2 screens), 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium CPU, 2 GB memory Rambus.  I'm go to Gigabyte GA45T-ES3G-ATX, CPU 3.0 Ghz 775, 16 GB memory Kingston Hyper X, videocard PNY 450NVS Quadro (4 screens), 2 SSD drives (100(c drive)/500 GB).  I opted for the Gigabyte motherboard because it has a pcie x 16 video card and 5 pci slots.  I use software Cakewalk mainly which has a capacity of 64-bit and some of my cards have drivers 64-bit available.  Other software will be able to run in 32-bit mode (x 86).

  My plan is to clone the c: drive current, load it on the new ssd drive and upgrade to Win xp Pro x 64 load if possible.

  First and most importantly, there is no way to upgrade from XP 32 bit to 64 bit, you must perform a "clean installation" of the 64-bit version and then reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files.

  Secondly because the card mother old and new are very different (device drivers and chipset), it is unlikely that, after cloning your hard drive to an SSD, the computer would even start.

  I'd rather you 32-bit version of Windows XP is a 'Reticular Full' version (OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and can not be activated on another motherboard) is to reinstall XP 32 Bit to one of your SSD drives (you did not mention RAID), then install the drivers from Gigabyte.

  If you must go the 64-bit road know that 64-bit XP was not very well supported by software vendors and is not widely used.

  Also note that this socket 775 motherboard uses memory DDR3 and no common DDR2 for cards 775 mothers socket.

  Hello. I want to create a dual-boot installation, both using Win XP Pro SP3 on a large hard drive while having an extended partition available for data. I expect in the next two years, going to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. Put the two primary partitions to 20 GB enough or should I go ahead and do 40-50GB each in preparation for a future upgrade.

• Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem does not work

  Another problem with this laptop Satellite A30
  The built-in modem does not work.

  * Explanation: *.
  The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
  The modem is identified as "Toshiba software modem amr" and is installed on com3 port.

  When I click on "diagnosis" and "ask modem" (right labels can be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window pops up saying: it is impossible to open the door (port), the modem is connected to.

  I tried to change the com port of the modem to different numbers, but the problem is the same.
  I don't know if the modem is a real map connected somehow to the main Board or is built right on the main map. It would be the first case, I may change see ad. BTW, the mini slot pci is already occupied by the gigabyte of Wi - Fi, so the modem must be elsewhere.

  This is strange, since I've done at least 2 other win xp pro on this machine facilities, always download and install the appropriate drivers, and the modem has never worked.
  Thank you

  There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

  Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

  visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

  When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

  http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

  Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946928

  Start > run > C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

  For the 64-bit version, change the command run 86 read 64

  In the alternative, there is a troubleshooting tool that can work to accomplish the same thing

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en-us

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

  A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

  Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

  When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

  If there are still problems with Windows update try this utility.

  It is the #25 element in the repair tool to be implemented.

• Satellite C660-1TN. Win XP Pro SP3. GF 315 M graphics driver

  Laptop Satellite C660-1TN. In accordance with company standards, it is necessary to work in Windows XP Pro SP3. The NVIDIA® GeForce® 315M video card driver is not established. Thank you

  Your business standards are quite old. It should be time for a corporate update to the new standards. ;)

  Anyway, new models of laptops are not supported for older operating systems, and new models of laptops are designed for the new operating system. New laptop models have newer material designed also for newer operating system.

  Problem is not Toshiba or support for Windows XP Home edition. As far as I know even Microsoft doesn't support WXP more.

  Check if NVIDIA supports Windows XP Home for GeForce 315 M.

  You can say what you want to say, but that does not correct.
  It is and has never been, an edition of Windows XP called
  'Corporate Edition.' See below.

  You talk about "Volume Licensing" of Windows XP
  Professional Edition. What you are saying is correct, except that your name
  for this volume license is incorrect. It is * not * called "Corporate".
  Edition' and the term 'Enterprise Edition' has been used almost exclusively
  for pirated copies.

• Why is Win XP Pro SP3 computer get error 'no video with format supported or a MIME type found.

  I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 computer, and I get the error 'No video with format supported or a MIME type found.' When I try to watch videos in the browser. I used to be able to view the videos, but 3 months ago they stopped working and I started to receive the above error message. What could be the cause for it? Thanks a lot for your time and help! God bless you!

  The site "paperwishes.com" (card making supplies) plays videos of product for some of its products. A blue box shows the word 'Play' next to the item. When I clicked on this blue box last spring, he'd always play. He's now hit & miss. Sometimes, it will offer to play via MP4, but rarely. Their 'webisode' will play not (who played in the spring, as well). Cannot understand what has changed: Google update leaving Windows XP in the past?

  Videos on the site can be read with an HTML5 player and do not use the Flash Player Plugin like a video I cheacked used HTML5 player when I right click on it. Actually, it turns out the link video was a Youtube video and YT uses the HTML5 player when possible and descends to Flash Player if need be if they always support such.

  With a little work, you can get the video to work in Firefox on the old WinXP EOL of HTML5.

• Win XP Pro SP3 hangs when starting.

  My copy of close to ten years of Windows XP Pro served me well... it has been updated a number of pious UN time (and that was just the first few days after I first bought!) is the current state of the SP3.  I've never had a problem with the start of the BONE, until two days ago.  He simply refused to start.  There had not been updated, there had not been any virus, (Norton 360 first version 5, SpyBot Search and Destroy, AVG Security Suite Pro) full... it worked and works well, I stopped him and when I went to restart, it is hanging in the first screen of Windows XP (black one who lights up for a few seconds and scan blue dots everywhere under the name "Windows XP").

  I was able to restart in safe mode, no problem.  I then went through all the lists of things to try that I could find on here and any other support area of Microsoft.  Clean boot didn't work, start diagnosis does not work, no matter how configure msconfig, the result was the same. hang in the first XP screen.  I found an article that said to use the Windows installation disc and do a "set up"... essentially replace the operating system without affecting any of the other programs or data on the disk.  I did this, and of course, it still hangs on the first XP screen.  The kicker is NOW, I can start is no longer in safe mode, because it comes in saying that it is a 'NEW' XP installation and as such must be activated before first use... and because activation cannot be done in safe mode, please restart the computer in normal mode and proceed with the activation...

  IF I COULD START THE COMPUTER IN NORMAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE OR HERE BEGGING FOR HELP!

  Hi RonaldHaywood,

  It looks like the Windows XP installation is damaged and that the only option is to reinstall Windows XP on the computer after saving the data.

  You will need to take the computer to a store local tech to save data and then perform the clean installation.

• X100e win xp pro usb installation problem

  Hello everyone, I'm new here and I'm sorry for not having introduced myself properly drunk it is an urgent situation.

  A few days ago, I bought the Netbook from Lenovo x100e

  Product ID: 35086AG

  MV40(1.6GHz) Athlon, 1 GB of RAM, HD 160 GB at 5400 RPM LCD 11.6 in 1366 x 768 screen, ATI Radeon HD2200, 802.11bgn wireless, extensible WWAN, Bluetooth, 1 Gb Ethernet UltraNav, 3 c Li - ion, WinXP Home 32

  Here is the link to download driver for this netbook lenovo site:

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=35086AG

  NetBook came with preinstalled Win. XP Home edition and I was going to install Win. XP Professional.

  So I created bootable USB stick Win. XP Pro. installation (cause this netbook is not the internal cd drive) and initialized at startup and begin the installation.

  Installation went smooth-> I chose C partition, formatted it and after the following formatting message appears:

  "The value of the following in the." SIF file used by Setup is
  damaged or missing:
  A value of 0 on the line in the [SourceDiskFiles] section
  with the key "SSA.exe."
  Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3. »

  So, as you can see, I can not continue with the installation, and the problem is the drive is already formatted and I have nothing on it, no BONES with nothing.

  Please help cause I need laptop soon.

  1. Use support XP vanilla as the source, copy the contents of the CD on a work PC
  2. Add to that the ATI/AMD AHCI drivers using nLite
  3. You can use usb multiboot for creating usb installation media

  And then manually install the driver strictly necessary to connect to the internet

  Finally, download, install and run the update of lenovo.

  It is unlikely for sfc/scannow to run slowly unless the Service Pack to your real XP bootable installation CD matches the Service Pack installed on the computer.  This usually isn't the way things are in the real world.

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Sfc/scannow will not help running.  You can not worry it run in the future.

  Let's see what you have right now.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  It seems that the video drivers were considered suspects and since you have NVIDIA, I let NVIDIA look at your system and see what their online scanner has to say about your system.

  I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

  It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

  Here is the address of the NVIDIA page:

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

  Read the instructions, and then click the DRIVERS GRAPHICS button to start scan and see what they have to say about your graphics card and if you need to update your video drivers.

  If you have an NVIDIA card installed, you might think to replace it too (later).

  You can also consider ditching Norton - at least for now...  Maybe just uninstall Norton temporarily using their special uninstall program and get your system stabilized and then when things are stable, reinstall your Norton again if you are forced to keep.   If you have installed Norton 'out of the box' it really installs a bunch of stuff that can thwart the troubleshooting.  You can save time by simplifying your configuration by getting rid of Norton and do it out of the picture entirely until things settle down.

  Let's see what that your msinfo32 and NVIDIA has to say first.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

  I decided to implement the points for a new puppy instead of a pony!
