Which is it?  ME or XP. \n\nLet's assume it's not ME, because that program would not know if it was active or not. \n\nI think it has to do with registration and ensuring it is a legal copy of XP.  They are tightening up on that these days, and updates won't work unless it is a registered copy.\n\nnice cut and paste dinger

if you have a computer with 3.1 on it, odds are it is out of date and xp will not run on it or will run so poorly it would not be worth the time. With P.c.'s starting out at around $400, just go get a new one.

If you are running older computers you may want to stay with W2k Pro. I have P-III computers of which two ran XP and the others W2k Pro. When the XP computer needed reistalling I went back to W2k. I could see no advantage and XP soaked up most of the computers resources. I found W2k very easy on the resources and could do everything I needed. I just thought I would mention it before you took the plunge. \nIMHO

The simple answer is yes.\nThe XP install program will let you install a clean OS.\nThis will wipe out any data on yor hard drive.\nXP also has a System Restore Utility that lets you return the computer to a privious state, so in the future you may be able to prevent these sorts of problems.

I know of a way, but I woult not even bother to tell you that, unless to get points here.\n\nIts very dangerous to mess with those system files. You might screw up the system. It was a little safe with Windows 95/98 and the ME, but now with XP I never tried it but can expect results to be devastating if something goes wrong.\n\nhttp://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm

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.

Nlite is the best for customizing XP setup. It is a free program:\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml

Actually, InnoSetup is a free Setup Creator utility. Check http://www.download.com/ for more. Search for "InnoSetup". InstallShield is a VERY, VERY expensive program if you're just looking for something simple.\n\nI can get discounts on things like the latest InstallShield Developer programs, and it's STILL a couple thousand dollars I believe. =P\n\nMS Visual Studio includes a nice, simple installation creator, which is what I normally use. But I also purchased Setup Factory 6.0, by Indigo Rose, which is really nice. =)

Yeah IBM Naturally Speaking and Dragon Dictate are it to my knowledge--though XP is supposed to have limited capability I have never figured out how to run it.
