There are many things that could affect your computers performence on start up. Getting a new computer is not the answer. The best way is to back up all of your data and start fresh with a new windows load (Recovery CD's come with almost all manufactured computers). Also If you cannot do that option go to start and run. Then type msconfig hit ok. Go to the start up tab and remove some of the programs at start up. Also make sure your dekstop is clear of clutter. Reason being is because if you have lots of data on your desktop your computer trys to put it in your memory and takes up the needed space to run windows or programs. Also make sure you empty your recycling bin. Good Luck!

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

Check to see if your computer will support running Windows XP Professional. \nRecommended by Microsoft:\n300 MHz CPU *\n128 MB of RAM *\n1.5 GB of available hard disk space *\nSuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\nNetwork adapter\nSound card and speakers\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n* I recommend a minimum 450MHz CPU, 8GB HDD, 256MB of RAM\n\nthen Purchase an OEM license of Windows XP and replace your current outdated operating system.\nYou can find stores on eBay who sell windows XP OEM version for under $150.

You might have installed XP from a pirated CD (as most people do). The problem is that updates like SP2 know that your copy is illegal and they prevent the install. Here's what to do.\n\nDownload Windows XP Corporate key changer from:\n\nmicrosoft.crack-cd.com/Microsoft_Windows_XP_Corporate_Key_Changer.html\n\nAfter you extract the files from the .zip archive, run the program XPProCorp-keyChanger.exe. \n\nA command-prompt window will open and it will generate many legal keys. Copy a few (right click on the command prompt window, select MARK, drag the mouse to select a few keys and hit enter) and paste it onto Notepad or something for later use.\n\nAfter you press any key to continue, "Activate Windows" program will open.\n\nSelect "Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows." and click "Next"\n\nOn the next screen, select "Change Product Key".\n\nA screen with 4 boxes to enter the new key will appear.\n\nType in the legal key you have copied earlier from the command-prompt window.\n\n(Or you can use the following one: KC4BB-2JHWW-VKCD6-2MXFV-98VH6)\n\nClick "Update".\n\nIMPORTANT: Close the "Activate Windows" window immediately after this.\n\nNow your key is changed to a legal one, you are free to install Service Pack 2 or any other legal update.\n\n:-)\nxandercage0

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.

Michele Castle has written an article about your question (see link below):\n\n\n"Windows XP comes in several versions, the most popular for desktops and laptops being Home and Professional. The Home version is generally intended for personal use, while the Professional version is for business use. However, the two differences between the two versions sometimes necessitate home users choosing the Professional version. Likewise, the Professional versus is not always needed for small businesses.\n\nIn early 2007, Microsoft is expected to release Windows Vista, the next generation of Microsoft Windows. Once Microsoft releases Windows Vista, Microsoft will only provide support for Windows XP Home for two years. Because it is a business product, Windows XP Professional will receive seven years of support, extending the useful life of a Windows XP Professional computer significantly.\n\n, I recommend that you purchase Windows XP Professional instead of XP Home. Windows XP Home offers the following features:\n\n    * New interface - the redesigned interface is easier to use than in previous versions\n    * Windows Media Player - find, play, and organize your media files\n    * Windows Messenger - communicate and collaborate with instant messaging, video conferencing, and application sharing\n    * Wireless capabilities - automatically configure a wireless network\n    * Multitasking - run multiple applications simultaneously\n    * Internet Connection Firewall - free firewall to protect your computer from attacks\n    * Multi-language support - enter text in any language and run any language version of Windows applications\n\n\nIn addition to the features available in Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional (compare prices) also offers the following:\n\n    * Remote desktop - access your computer from another Windows computer remotely\n    * Offline files and folders - access remote files and folders even when disconnected from the network\n    * Dual processor support - use two CPUs instead of one\n    * Greater access control - restrict access to files, folders, and applications\n    * Designed for business environemnts - administration, group management, software installation, and more simplify the administration of a network\n    * Multi-language user interface - change the language of the dialog boxes, help files, and more"\n\n\nWindows XP Professional is much more stable than Windows XP Home. I have had both and Windows XP Home used to crash all the time on my computer, windows XP professional rarely crashes on me.However if you have waited this long to get Windows XP maybe you should wait a little longer and get Windows Vista when it comes out read this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/editions/default.mspx

There are no versions for the System Restore. Even if there are, by installing SP2 Windows XP, it should have been already updated. So worry not. It should be up2date.

Microsoft is very strict with their new licensing terms.\n\nYour copy of Win XP Pro is valid for a single or dual processor machine.\n\nMicrosoft has stated that the product is valid for one machine only. You cannot remove the product from one computer and install it on another. If you upgrade your processor and motherboard, your copy of XP is valid only for the previous components, and not your upgraded computer.

First of all you will need:\n1)Your Windows disc\n2)The service pack of your choice (SP1 or SP2)\n3)A little patience...\n\nNow first you have to copy the contents of the disc itself...create a folder called XP-(whatever one you want..ie..SP1 or SP2)\n\n1)Before copying the XP CD make sure that the system is set to display all hidden and system files to ensure a complete copy of all files on the CD. The settings to control what files are visible are located in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View tab. Make sure [Show hidden files and folders] radio button is selected and [Hide protected operating system files] is unchecked....\n2)The next step is to find where you downloaded the Service pack file.\nIf you download it from Microsoft...it'll be named WindowsXP-K(something)-SP(whatever)-ENU(english).exe\n3)Navigate to the folder called XP-(what you named it) and copy the service pack there.\n4)Use start>run to get the dialog box at the bottom left and in the box type\n"C:&#92;XP-(Sp1 or Sp2)&#92;(the name of the service pack..example [WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe] -x"\n5)By now a prompt has come up asking where you want to save the extraction.

The previous answerer implies you can do a Repair Install.  Unfortunately, a R.I. does not change your personal settings or installed programs.  So the password issue will remain.  If your XP Pro install CD is genuine and you have the 25 digit Product Key assigned to that install disk, you could reformat (completely erase all hard drive info) and reinstall the operating system.  The actual procedure should take less than 2 hrs.  Here's a link that gives clear instructions and actual screen shots of what you will see.  I'm assuming your install disk has SP2 already on it and you have your 25 digit Product Key:\n\nhttp://www.windowsxpprofessional.windowsreinstall.com/sp2installxpcdoldhdd/indexfullpage.htm > if disk has SP2\n\nIf your install disk is so old it only has SP1 (or no service pack at all) you can use this link for instructions/screenshots:\n\nhttp://www.windowsxpprofessional.windowsreinstall.com/installxpcdoldhdd/indexfullpage.htm > disk has SP1 or no service packs\n\nOnce you've got XP installed, your work is just beginning.  You'll need to reestablish your internet connection including things like email, IM, etc. You'll need to reinstall any programs that used to be on the hard drive like antivirus, antispyware, games, office type products like word processor, spread sheets, etc.  (Hope you saved all your install disks for these programs.)  You'll also have to reinstall any USB items like printer, scanner, digital camera, card reader, external hard drive, etc.  You may have to find and install new device drivers for these add-ons.  And during the Windows Updates, you might want to be real careful that you don't accidentally install something you don't want..... like the new IE7 or Windows Media Player 11, etc.  It will be a challenge but if you are successful, you'll have a feeling of accomplishment and you'll know more about your computer than most people know about their's.\n\nplrr
