Windows XP Installation problem with Windows 7 Starter home

I was told that I would have no problem of family Windows XP Setup on a new computer comes pre loaded with Windows 7 Starter.

When I insert the CD with Windows XP, I get the following:

Run setup.exe

I click on install Windows XP

Program is blocked due to compatibility issues.

Setup cannot continue because the version on the computer is newer than the version on CD.

Anyone know how to solve this problem and install Windows XP?

Thank you Don

Hello

I understand that you want to install Windows XP on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

(1) is the retail Windows XP version or OEM version, you are trying to install?

Unfortunately, this is not possible. As the operating system installed on your computer is newer than the operating system you are trying to install.

To resolve this problem, you need to do a clean install to install Windows XP, and you try to run Windows 7 Setup, it will not work. So, I suggest you to boot from the XP CD (if necessary, first change the boot order in the BIOS) and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will initially format the drive for you, so make sure you back up everything you don't want to lose to external media first.

I hope this helps. Try the above steps and get back to us for assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello

    Can I install Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic or Home Premium for commercial use or office?

    Thank you :D

    Nothing wrong with using them in a personal environment or professional (commercial).

    Of course, due to them being consumer editions of Microsoft Windows, if you have a DC at work (Windows Server), you might not be able to access some network resources.

  • Any incorrect serial number installation problem with PES 12 - PE 12 Windows or Mac?

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5711110#5711110

    Today, I went from 12 elements of Photoshop and first elements 12 tries at versions purchased in a box that came with two installation disks. One of the drives was of 12 items of Photoshop and elements 12 Windows first and the other of these versions on Mac.

    On the desktop Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit, I was struck with the wrong serial number for Photoshop elements 12 installation I did first. Tried 4 x, double and triple checking for you sure this wasn't 'user error '. It was not the case. The 5th test, purchased serial number was accepted and the installation went to a success.

    Tonight a friend alerted me to similar reports occurs for many users of Photoshop Elements Mac 12. See the link at the top of my post.

    At no time see this problem with the installation of first elements 12 from the same disc with respect to the installation of 12 Photoshop elements.

    Subsequently, I installed these programs with the same installation disc on my laptop 8 64-bit Windows, I have no problems with the installation.

    For now, I don't know if this incorrect serial number is elusive to 12 items in Photoshop or not.

    If someone experiences this problem with Premiere Elements, please let us know.

    From the link above, it seems that Adobe is working on the issue.

    Thank you.

    I discovered how to do this after much trial and error.
    The solution is quite simple. Insert your MS Office 2003 disk in drive D.
    Go right out of "Programs" click on DVD RW Drive D. click on 'install '.
    It worked for me. It actually installed everything fine without even asking for the product key.

  • problems with the pc starts

    When you try to start my pc after having stop that I get a window WARNING SYSTEM BATTERY IS LOW PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE or F2 TO enter SET UP can that I get rid of this window pleas help?

    This message means that the CMOS battery on the motherboard is low and must be replaced if the computer will remember its configuration data while off.  Check your manual for the motherboard or system for the location of the battery.  These batteries are usually pretty cheap and fairly easy to replace with some care.

  • Problem with the drive start satellite C50D-B-120

    I've recently updated to windows. My laptop computer was really slow lately, but today it is lit with impossible for the reader to boot disk
    my laptop is still under warranty

    I don't know what happened

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive is dead and you will have to replace it.
    But no doubt the HARD drive is still OK and you only need to reinstall the system.

    Go to BIOS (F2) and check if the HARD drive is recognized by the BIOS.
    It should appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If it is not listed, the HARD disk needs to be replaced.
    If it does not appear, reinstall the system using the Toshiba recovery media.

    If you have not created this recovery media in the past, you always have an option to order this missing disk recovery.

  • problem with aspire menu start v5-122

    Hi, I just bought this acer v5-122 a week ago and I'm still learning to use it. the problem is, it does not display a start menu in the screen is just blank. What should I do to return to the start top menu?

    Murray, my first reaction to take it back to the store while it is still under warranty.

    However, you can get to the desktop? Did you save the machine? If you can get to the desktop, install the free program of the classic interface to get a start button. Then do a scan in depth with your antivirus. Then install the free Malwarebytes program and do a scan in depth.

    If none of this works, you should definitely take it back.
