right click on your start button and choose properties then set your start menu to xp style, you will see icons then.  also, if your task manager is not pulling up, you probably have to much stuff running in the background and your system is struggling with what little memory it has to work with.  Try this:  click on start>Run>type in the open field:  msconfig and click ok.  click on the startup tab at the top and disable all start-up items and then reboot.  i bet your task manager will open then.

If you mean you want to bring up the command prompt in Windows XP, go to Start --> Run and type in cmd, then press enter/return.

Go to your Start menu, click on "Run" When The Run window pops up, in the Open: Section, simply type "msconfig" without the quotations. This will take you to the System Configuration Utility.\n\nClick on the Startup tab and uncheck the unnecessary processes.\n\nHope this helps.

If you have Windows Xp all ready installed, just click on the start button (left side of toolbar, left down corner) and select (by clicking) the Activate Windows option\nFrom that point your Windows will tell you what to do\nAll you want to find out more about the process is here:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=307890

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but give it a try - If it doesn't work, just rename the .old file to .exe.\n\nMicrosoft Snafu:\n\nTry this:\n\nclick START, RUN, type "CMD" (no quotes,) and hit ENTER.\nType "ren C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;verclsid.e... C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;verclsid.o... (no quotes,) and hit ENTER.\nFinally, type "exit" and hit enter.\nReboot your computer, and it will work!\n\nGood Luck! Let me know if you have any other questions!\n\nMike Z.

Just use cmd when you go to start-run and it will bring up the command prompt\n\nThen you can run your commands.

if your running windows xp:\n\nstart -> run -> "msconfig"\n\n----\nIf someone says to go to the startup folder, ignore them; the registry startup is ignored if you only look at that.

There's a way to deactivate that menu. If you have Win Xp and if it starts, click Start -> system panel or configuration panel (something panel) -> then in the panel window look for SYSTEM and click twice on it -> in the next window click on ADVANCED in the choices at the top of the window. then under ADVANCED you'll find 3 buttons called parameters, click on the 3rd, in the next window unmark the two first option-squares and click OK. Restart your computer.Please if this works(I hope), give me ten points. Thank you. Good luck.

That's called passing the buck.  Oh, that's a windows problem.  No one will admit we made a programming error.\n\nAt any rate...start, control panel, add/remove and look for pathways there.  If it is, repair if that option is there, and try again.  If not, choose remove.\n\nReboot, and download the program again.  If the problem continues after that, check compatibility to make sure it actually runs on XP or perhaps is designed for a different operating system.

Go to Start menu > Run> type the following in it\n\nSFC /SCANNOW\n\nThis will envoke windows system file checker and will inform you if any system files has been moved or changed. You may need your installion CD before continuing.\n\nFor other options to be run with the command you can go to command prompt and type\n\nsfc /?\n\nThis will display other options that could be run along sfc command.\n\nLet know if this works!!

On windows XP or similar go start - all programs - startup. Find the programs you don't want to run at startup, right mouse click on them and go to the delete option.
