Say i buy a 64 bit laptop with XP64, will my current MSOffice 2003 and other programs I have run on it?

The short answer is yes, all fully 32-bit programs will work.  There aren't many 64-bit programs yet save for IE and Windows x64.  But here's the caveat programs that use 16-bit installers, won't install, programs that have any 16-bit aspect won't work at all.

No. You can't. You have to install Office 2000, not Windows XP.

The reason your system crashes is because you are using a bootleg XP version. If your system would it had a legit OS, you should been ok.

You need a 64-bit operating system.  Be happy, intel P4 owners couldn't until recently.

Correct, and I wouldn't expect it to affect your XP/MC as long as it's a Windows compatible card.

I am running MS Office 2000 with Windows 98 SE. So you can run it on XP.\n\nRequest the Service Pack 2 in a hard copy from Microsoft. (its free) don't download it from the site. That way you can be sure you are getting the correct CD.

I'd suggest you go to Puppylinux.com they have a very small linux distro that is made to co-exist with XP. I run Puppy 2.10 myself and got ride of everything from Microsoft. Puppy comes with things that MS makes you pay extra for.

Theoretically yes, but it may not do very well.  These are the system requirements for xp:\nHere's What You Need to Use Windows XP Home Edition\n•\n\nPC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required;* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended\n•\n\n128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)\n•\n\n1.5 gigabyte (GB) of available hard disk space.*\n•\n\nSuper VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor\n•\n\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\n•\n\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n(from Microsoft)\n\nThis link takes you to the Windows XP upgrade advisor, it will scan your system and determine if it is XP capable.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/upgrading/advisor.mspx\n\nIf you do make the switch I would strongly recommend that you add another 256mb of ram, xp seems to really start to hit it's stride at 512mb.\n\nGood luck and hope this helped.

I have been running a 64 bit version of XP for several months now.\n\nIt runs fine. The only issue is software developers are just now starting to take advantage of the 64 bit architecture. As they continue to write 64 bit applications it's benefits will multiply greatly.\n\nNot many people today have ever used MS-DOS. Some of the old timers may remember typing commands into DOS but the majority of computer users today were raised on Windows.

It really depends on where it's looking for the Windows version.  But it's unlikely you will be able to "fool" the installer.\n\nI agree it would probably run.  The company probably wants to limit what it supports.\n\nTry google there may be a hack

if your games can't run on XP you can try to right click on the exe file and then goto properties and in the compatibility tab --> check run this program in compatibility for --> and then choose your OS which it was compatible for

yep\n\nU need to download an older version, Ure trying to run the latest version on a non XP SP2 machine

Why not test them if you already have Vista running?  Considering Microsoft's long-term stance of backwards compatibility I would imagine they would all work.

Yes.\n\nRight click on the program>\nSelect the compatibility tab>\n[Check] "run the program in compatibility mode for:>\nSelect either win95 or win98.\n\n\nDone

It should be listed on the invoice somewhere.  And if you don't have an AMD processor, it's not 64bit.  Open the Control Panel and then open System.  Towards the bottom it should be listed there.
