If XP doesn't work I would try Win98. If you really want 95, look at ebay I am sure you can get a copy for $5 or so.\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/1-DAY-ONLY-Full-Inst-Windows-95-Win-OS-operating-system_W0QQitemZ7233443216QQcategoryZ41883QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

First of all this is illegal and i in no way support it but there is a patched version of OS X for x86 that wil run on any pc. \n\nhttp://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/202/42/\n\nlook under the obtaining this software section.\n\nto run along XP, you will need to \na)get a new hard drive which would be the easiest method or\nb)partition your hard drive which will mean that you will have to reinstall windows and you will lose everything

Uninstall older versions and reinstall..

If you upgrade with files in the recycling bin then they will be over written.\n\nTake them out of the trash and move them to the root (C:/ ) directory. Install XP over top of 98SE. But make sure you DON'T choose the option to format your C: Drive and they will still be there.\n\nOnly problem I see is if your old computer had 98 on it then it's prolly too old to run XP. Look for something a lil newer.

If you are on XP, you simply (hah) need to "Set Program Access and Defaults"\nThe link to this may be in your start menu, your programs, or your accessories / system tools link.

Download and install EphPod (for Windows 98SE, 2K and XP), http://www.ephpod.com/

first of all don't listen to these people telling you to upgrade to xp. That's great if you have a modern computer, but my guess is that's not what we are talking about here. Any computer that runs less than 700 megahertz is going to crawl with xp on it.\n\n download ccleaner at http://www.ccleaner.com this program will let you safely delete things you don't need and leave stuff you do.\n\n\nthen get rid of unneeded programs running in the background. click on start then run, type in msconfig and hit enter. in the app that pops up, click on the start up tab. uncheck  programs you don't need. reboot, that should speed things up and make things more stable. with windows 98, less is better.

You might try looking for them in the startup folder\ndo a search for startup and when you find it see if they are listed and then delete the programs you do not watn to automatically load.  At least it worked for me.

Step 1:  Get rid of windows ME.  It's crappy and nobody uses it anymore, because nobody liked it in the first place.  You can run either windows 98 or windows 2000 on that machine.  \n\nStep 2:  Follow step 1, your problem will be solved.

The best way to add and remove programs without problems in XP is through the dedicated add / remove programs menu within XP control panel.\n\nFrom time to time check this list and see what you can remove - the more programs you have installed the slower your computer will run, as a rule.\n\nTherefore it is worth every few months checking what's there, and if any spyware has crept onto your system make sure that you remove that too!\n\nNote that if you delete programs directly from the program files folder then you might cause problems through deleting shared files or accidentally deleting something important!

What kind of operating system are you currently using?  Is it XP 64 bit?

If you use XP system restore is the way to go.

goto start>run\ntype msconfig\nonce there\nclick startup tab and over there you can deselect the program you dont want to start with\n\nif you know your way around the registry\ngoto start>run\ntype regedit \nbackup your registry\nand then goto \n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;\nSOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;\nWindows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Run\n\nnow delete the entries you dont want it anymore.\nBefore doing that, right click 'Run' and then export it somewhere safe.\n\nand what more many of the processes which start up with windows may not be required at all. It is just a memory hogs\nhit control panel>>administrative tools>>services\nnow right click an unwanted service and then goto properties\nonce there you can opt to disable it, set it to start manually or automatically.

You probably need to uninstall the old version first.\nGo into Start, Control Panel, find current programme listed, and delete.\nYou should then be able to install new version.
