You can do a couple of things.  1) go to the Start menu and select Run...  Type in msconfig and hit return.  Uncheck programs that you don't want to load at start up.  Then save and close everything and reboot.  This eliminate the programs that is loaded automatically at start up.  2) Download a program call Tune-Up Utilities (search with Google) and run it.  It will scan and fix your computer.  The trial version will work for 30 days but is full functional. \nHowever, you really need more RAM and hard drive space.  I recommend to have at least 512 MB if you are running XP.

If you haven't got MSCONFIG, you can copy it from an XP machine to a Win2K machine and it works just fine.\n\nPut it in C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32 (or C:&#92;Winnt&#92;System32 depending on your Windows folder) and run it from the Run dialog.

It requires a number of registry edits and editing the explorer.exe file.  This tutorial explains it, http://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm however it should be noted that users with Windows XP SP2 would be advised not to try it because it created stability issues.  Attempt at your own risk, I will not be held liable for the results ;)

Shadowing basically is where the BIOS program gets stored in RAM(memory) to run faster. I don't see how this would be a problem in Windows XP. \n\nBut to disable shadowing will require you to enter your setup or BIOS when the computer starts up. Here you can make changes. If it is a name brand computer like DELL, Compaq, HP, or Gateway I doubt you will have option to disable shadowing.

Firstly, you need to configure your bios so that your computer can boot from the CD.  Depending on the manufacturer of your computer's BIOS will determine which keys you need to press when you first turn the computer on.  Sometimes, it will tell you when you first switch on.  i.e. Press F2 for SETUP.  The common keys are F2, DEL, F10, CTRL+F2\n\nOnce in your BIOS (Setup) you will need to set your first boot device as CD-ROM.  Some BIOS's have an additional setting for allowing boot from CD-ROM, but it is not common.\n\nOnce you have done this, you should be able to boot from your XP CD.\n\nIf you have succesfullly backed up all your data, I would recommend deleting the existing partitions during the installation process and re-creating them.  The installation process will guide you through this and it is arelatively straightforward process.\n\nBefore copying your data back on, Apply all the windows updates and ensure you install and update your anti-virus software.\n\nGood luck

Windows... finding a driver it needs... not very likely.  I  haven't had much luck with any of the automatic discovery tools in XP, that's why I just do everything manually.  If you have the driver disc that came with your computer (or sound card) put it in and Windows should do the rest.  If you don't see if you have a restore point before you deleted the driver (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore and any date in bold has a restore point set), this will also get you your drivers back.

Though I do not know why you would want to, you can do that, but you can only use one of those operating systems at a time.  I would not bother though seeing as XP realistically is a much better OS (especially with SP2) and will do everything that 2000 will.  It is up to you, but realize, the OS that is on your default boot drive will be the one that loads up.  So if you set the default boot drive to C: then XP will load.  There are a couple ways around it, but you can still only run one at a time.  Besides, those two would likely conflict with one another anyway.

the short answer is that windows ME is a bastard son of a retard OS that should never have seen the light of day.\n\nI know that sounds harsh, but after 15 years of professional PC support experience I can honestly say that ME is the worst of Microsoft OSes. It is also really out of date, so I have to recommend switching to XP.

Well, first you turn down the lights....put on some soft music....bottle of wine and....\n\n\n\nNo....I won't quit my day job.\n\nOk ok......XP has built-in something called Remote Assistance, if this is indeed what you're asking about. If you right-click "My Computer" go to "Properties" then go to the "Remote" tab, you will see a check-box to activate it, and a link where you can read more about it.\n\nBoth computers need to have this turned on for it to work, and essentially, if I recall, the computer that 'calls' the other computer is the one that can 'see' the other computer's terminal. I don't believe it's a two-way thing. Now, if the other computer is used as the 'calling' computer then IT will see the others computers terminal.\n\nMake sense?\n\nEssentially you can sit at your computer and use teh mouse and open and close things and the other person at the other computer can sit and watch what's happening. Good for troubleshooting or fixing someone else's computer remotely.\n\nNot sure you need the IP address of both boxes or not, but if you do you can find that my going to Start/Run.\n\nType "run" in the little window.\n\nA window will pop up. You'll see a blinking 'prompt'. Type "ipconfig" and then hit 'enter'.\n\nYou'll see the line that says IP Address.\n\nHope this is what you were looking for.

ok i think i understand what your trying to say. is  you are running mac osx and want to start running windows xp inside your mac osx account.\n\nif this is the case you can either buy virtual pc which is a windows emulator made by microsoft so it works just as poorly as normal windows will. \n\nor you can buy Microsoft office PRO for mac which is also made by microsoft for mac this includes virtual pc and all the office applications.

Go to Start Menu, click RUN. \nType msconfig and hit enter. \nYou should see a pop up box.\nGo to Startup tab and uncheck all the programs that you do not want on your start up. \nThis will prevent those programs from starting up when you restart windows. \nThis will usually make your computer go a little faster if you have do not have much memory on your computer.\nYou do not want a bunch of things running in your background during startup if it is not necessary.\n\nWindows XP takes up A LOT of memory so you might want to upgrade your memory and get more ram. Once I upgrade my computers to 1 GIG, I never had those "freezing" issues. It would definitely improve performance.

I've been having some computer problems lately myself where XP won't boot. I tried pretty much everything. But I finally got it working after using this:\n\nFix-It Utilities 6\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JKGRY/002-0155762-7876854?v=glance&n=229534\n\nI'm not sure if it'll work for you or not, but it's worth a shot.
