you got a tough row to hoe trying to get 95 and xp to work together, it is hard enough with 98 and xp. if you look around you might find some sort of software that will hook them up, but tried once or twice and gave it up. I just ugrade the 95 to 98 and get it going

The above post is instruction on how to restore your registry and select system files only, this most likely will not give you the desired results (especially since, by default, it only creates a backup of the last 5 successful bootups) and can actually cause errors in some applications.  \n\nTo reset the PC use either the restore disks that came with the PC if you have them or reformat and reinstall Windows using a full install version of 98.  Windows 98SE also supports the upgrade to Windows XP.  If you're interested, check here to see if your computer meets the recommended (not minimum - it will be very slow) requirements.\n\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/xpready/default.asp

Probably some of the registry entries are deleted here. \n\nProbably you may have to reinstall IE or you can go to this website for downloading the registry patch\n\nwww.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

if you are runnin windows xp, dos does not exist. This is why you are having such a hard time. You will need to boot from the xp cd. During the setup process you will be giving the opportunity to reformat. \n\nIf by chance the previous OS was Xp and you are trying to install 95, 98, or ME and this is where you are having issues with reformating your drive that is because XP typically is setup to partition the disk with NTFS. NTFS is not supported in 95, 98, or me. You can however use your XP disk to put the format of your C: drive back to FAT32 with your XP disk and then install.\n\nBest of luck.

the question is not clear. \nyou had an old copy of xp - WHERE. on a CD or PC?\n\nif it was on a CD - then it has no registry.\nif it was on another PC - then startup up that PC, click start->RUN->type"regedit" and search the registry for the KEY.\nif it was on this new PC (on which you installed XP again) - then the old registry is gone, as it was re-written by the new one.\n\nyou bought a new pc and installed XP - SO WHERE WAS THE OLD XP?

you tap the F8 key to get to the menu for last known good configuration.\nIf you need the cd, you can get it from compaq, if they are not availiable, there are a couple of third party online companies that sell them, or you could just install windows xp with someone else's cd and use your code on the case
