    WP SP1 vs SP2

    I've installed SP2 on just about every PC I've come along. It's a great way to keep a PC protected for your average "rookie". No, it's not the best protection, but for sure better than nothing. I've been running SP2 on my system for awhile now, with no problems whatsoever. I've actually...

    A+ Certification

    I am VERY interested in taking the CompTIA tests, but I need to know one simple thing. I know that Windows 2000 and Windows XP are about the same O/S, but does the new, updated A+ Certification O/S exam have questions regarding Windows XP? Thanks in advance, FutureProgrammer

    Norton SystemWorks & Firewall

    I don't get any errors before it starts to roll back. It just gets to the end of the installation and starts rolling back. I checked the Symantec site and they said it was probably that my .sys files were corrupted. Being that I had tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 2000, I think it's...

    WINDOWS 2000/WINDOWS 98SE DUAL BOOT SYSTEM

    You can use the Windows 98SE boot disk to start the PC. When the DOS prompt comes up, type 'fdisk', then see what partitions you currently have. Delete the partition that contains the corrupted version of Windows 2000. Create the new partition and restart your PC. Go into your BIOS and set...

    XP Home installation wont work - SQL 7 unintsall?

    Use the AutoRun feature on the Windows XP disc and install the O/S from BIOS and DOS. There is no reason to try and uninstall this and then update your O/S. Just do the Windows XP clean install.

    Disabling Norton anti-virus and Earthlink accelerator question

    There is really no way to make your 56K speed any faster than the default or normal speed. The only thing that accelerators really do is keep more cookies, which takes much more space on your hard drive. Only the Microsoft SPs are worth turning your antivirus off for. Other than that, there...

    Norton SystemWorks & Firewall

    The other day, I decided it was time to reformat and reinstall my Windows 2000 Professional. After installing the O/S, I was trying to install my Norton SystemWorks & Firewall. Everything seemed fine until everytime I tried to install these two programs, they would both install and then the...

    Making ISO'S

    Some ISOs require certain unlocking scripts to be added onto a CD. You can buy or download 'Alcohol 120%', which is a VERY good program used to burn ISOs onto CD discs. You need to find a good Internet site that will tell you what locker the ISO has on it, and you set Alcohol so that it will...

    INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE -Upgrading from 2000 pro to XP pro

    The best thing to do would probably be to do a Windows XP clean install via the BIOS. Set your boot priority and let the BIOS pick the CD-ROM up on startup.

    Is there any software out other than norton 2003?!

    You can also download or buy Ontrack Fix-It Utilities which is partly owned by McAfee. It is what I currently use and it has helped my Registry out many times.

    windows updates

    Just apply whatever patches the Windows Update site recommends. If you are vulnerable, that should automatically tell you to download the patches.

    Helpful hints needed. XP downgrade to 2000

    You need to get the Windows 98SE bootdisk and start your PC with the disk in the floppy drive. Let the disk do its work and when the DOS prompt comes up, you type 'fdisk.' You need to go in and delete a non-DOS partition. You need to delete the Windows XP partition and create a new primary...

    Windows won't restart

    What are you PC specifications? It sounds to me like you've had a bad install, but we'll start with the obvious.

    Need to copy my C: drive to a larger capacity drive

    You can always use 'Norton Ghost' which is also very good for these kinds of things.

    HD removal and repartitioning ...Pliz help...

    Do you have any O/S on the second HD? If I were you, I would completely format the second HD and form partitions through 'fdisk' and simply start from scratch. Or you can use 'fdisk' and format the unformatted space to install your O/S onto. You just need to set the O/S partition as primary...
