a possible solution is to make partitions to your harddrive\nAdvantage:\n1. you got a specialized partition for each part of your life, work, program testing, gaming etc\n2. window can deal with less resident program, lower work load\n3. easy to identify problem if it come up\n4. you go back up system to work with if you got 1 partition really act up on you\n5. make the most of this day monster size drive\nDisadvantage:\n1. time to do the set up\n2. software to invest

No easily. Its opensource. Get the source comment out the lines that allow you get to the menu and recompile. (this is much more work than an average computer want to get into)

You need the original Windows disc that came with the computer.  I would reccomend having this done by a trained professional or somone that knows how to do it.  You may mess somthing up.\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.techstatus.net/

you can just reformat it. put in your operating system cd and restart your computer. the setup program should start and then ask you if you want to repair the os or reformat it. reformat it. if you're not sure, take it to a computer repair shop and i'm sure they can help you.

well, some things only work on certain programs.  otherwise, you need to right click, properties, change, and change it to what you want it to run as.

Install your upgrade packs, and if it still doesn't work, you might have to upgrade to win2000.  I can't think of any really stiff requirements for it.\n\nThe computer guy

There is no software that can change what the hardware is capable of doing. This is because the components inside the drives are different. This is just like asking can a software make my 266mHz CPU into a 3.6gHz one or turning a 1GB HD into a 250GB. Sorry, just cant be done.

Check with Compaq for specific instructions.  But, you can usually do a repair install (of Windows 2000 or XP), and it won't delete all your applications and user settings.

The last thing you can do is to copy all your important data to a clean and formatted drive or even another HDD(by making it slave and connectin it to the IDE channel) and then formatting your Windows drive and doing a new Windows installation.

Generally it's not bad, but lots of problems with device drivers, not all are supported by OS.

blue screen of death is your technical term..reinstall windows or replace harddrive then install windows but in order to do this you MUST have the windows disk..so unless you have a generous friend i suggest a trip to the store...newegg.com has it fairly cheap..the windows program....best of luck from a friendly computer repair technician:)

You can put it in your windows&#92;system32 directory and see if that helps.

You should be able to unistall the old one. If they were windows, it should ask you to overwrite the old version.
