That depends on the version. If you are running XP Professional/Home, there are a variety of troubleshooting techniques from Microsoft Support. I'll give you this as a starting point and hope it helps out.

This means that your copy of Windows XP is not original. You have to purchase an original(validate) CD of Windows XP to get IE7 or any other Microsoft software. The Home Edition costs about 100$ and the Professional costs about 150-200$

yes. you should stay with one. MS Office Pro has all the features that a normal user needs, there is no point keeping the other at the same time.

XP Pro is more suited for a professional/commercial environment. XP Pro also caontains tools like Remote Desktop connects that are not available for XP Home. I'm not sure if those are present in MCE. Windows XP Media Center Edition lets you experience video, audio, pictures, and TV through a convenient user interface that makes it more cenvenient to enjoy digital media. \n\nThe link I attached compares each version of windows XP to the other. You will find it very useful.

Windows XP home is somewhat more advanced. It features many of the same things as Windows 98 programs. Dpending on your planned usage for the computer you will be upgrading, home or business, you may wish to upgrade to Windows XP Professional. Windows XP is easier to use if you have previous knowledge of Windows in general. You appear to have some. If you find the upgrade difficult to figure out, then it may be wise to purchase a simple book that covers Windows XP home. By the way, if you have an older pc (1997 or before) its better to just purchase a new computer. Good luck, I hope this has helped you.

Basically Windows 2000 Professional is more stable then Windows 98.  I personally had no problems with Win 98 SE and I did like Win 2000 Pro.  I am now using XP.\n\nAs for losing your information, you shouldn't lose it.  I successfully transferred all my information from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 to Windows XP and I haven't lost anything.\n\n\n\nWindows 98 (codename Memphis) is a graphical operating system released on June 25, 1998 by Microsoft.\n\nThe new operating system was essentially an updated version of Windows 95, and like that earlier version, it was a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit product. Among its features were better AGP support, functional USB drivers, and support for multiple monitors and WebTV. As in later releases of Windows 95, Internet Explorer continued to be integrated into the Windows Explorer interface (a feature which was called Active Desktop). It was also the first version of Windows to support ACPI.\n\nAlthough the upgrade sold well from the outset, Windows 98 was substantially larger and slower than Windows 95 and the original release had a significant number of compatibility and stability issues.\n\nWindows 98 had some tweaks with its GUI but was still Windows 95 with the Windows 98 logo, numerous bug fixes and with better compatibility for hardware and software.\n\nDuring a demonstration of Windows 98 a couple of months before its initial release, meant to show its improved and simpler to use system, Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft at the time, was acually testing the OS but crashed when he plugged in a scanner. This caused some controversy as to whether Windows 98 was a stable system, but still sold well anyway irrespective of that scenario.\n\nWindows 98 "First Edition" is designated by the internal version numbers 4.10.1998 or 4.10.1998A if it has been updated with the Security CD from Microsoft.\n\nWindows 2000 (also referred to as Win2K or W2K) is a preemptible and interruptible, graphical, business-oriented operating system that was designed to work with either uniprocessor or symmetric multi-processor (SMP) 32-bit Intel x86 computers. It is part of the Microsoft Windows NT line of operating systems and was released on February 17, 2000. Windows 2000 comes in four versions: Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server. Additionally, Microsoft offers Windows 2000 Advanced Server- Limited Edition, which was released in 2001 and runs on 64-bit Intel Itanium microprocessors. Windows 2000 is classified as a hybrid-kernel operating system, and its architecture is divided into two modes: user mode and kernel mode. The kernel mode provides unrestricted access to system resources and facilitates the user mode, which is heavily restricted and designed for most applications.\n\nAll versions of Windows 2000 have common functionality, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and standard system management applications such as a disk defragmentation utility. Support for people with disabilities has also been improved by Microsoft across their Windows 2000 line, and they have included increased support for different languages and locale information. All versions of the operating system support the Windows NT filesystem, NTFS 5, the Encrypted File System (EFS), as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. Dynamic disk storage allows different types of volumes to be used. The Windows 2000 Server family has enhanced functionality, including the ability to provide Active Directory services (a hierarchical framework of resources), Distributed File System (a file system that supports sharing of files) and fault-redundant storage volumes.\n\nWindows 2000 can be installed and deployed to an enterprise through either an attended or unattended installation. Unattended installations rely on the use of answer files to fill in installation information, and can be performed through a bootable CD using Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), by the System Prep

The MS online electronic validation key is $99 for XP Home and $149 for XP Pro, both with SP2.  You can usually find legal versions (recommend full install rather than upgrade) for less at:  www.edirectsoftware.com\n\nYou can do a repair with the full install Cd and enter the new 25 digit Product Key.  That will give you a legal version as well as repair any missing or corrupt files.  You will have to go into the MS Updates to reinstall any patches or hot fixes.  The repair takes about 1 hr, and the reinstalls of fixes/patches about another 30 minutes.

Are you serious?  Asking a question like that is like asking if your apple contains corn flakes too.  Windows XP is an operating system.  MS Office is a suite of programs that includes Excel, Word, Access, Outlook and Power Point.
