  Monday - 14-July-'08 . Outlook Express - under Win-XP - allows receipt of eMail - but - no messges can be sent.  ''An error has occured''. is the eror message. Also - Address Book will not respond nor allow me to Re-Import my data. . Where do I go for the Re-Installation software - MicroSoft web pages have led me ...

I am looking to get a copy of XP Pro SP2 retail CD before the Jun 30 ''stop selling XP'' date. The cost is $270 by itself. However, there are several cheap desktops advertised to come with ''XP Pro retail'': i.e.  ''Acer Veriton VM261-UC4300P Celeron 430(1.8GHz) 512MB DDR2 80GB SiS Mirage 3 Windows XP Professional - Retail'' Item #: ...

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere else before, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat post.  This is my first time posting here and I really need help.  I purchased Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 from Newegg.com, and I've been trying to install it on my HP Pavilion dv1629us Laptop.  Every time I run the setup, it gets to about ...

I have a problem, stick with XP or go with Vista on my new PC. I want a 64bit OS but I don't know what to do. As a note this is my first build.

I have this really annoying ''ghost'' file on my desktop that I can't delete/move/cut/whatever. It's just a ''file'' (not media, not a word doc, etc) and it has 0 bytes. When I try to delete it, it gives the pop-up message saying ''Cannot move file: Cannot read from source file or disk''. I went around looking for data wipers to remove it and ...

I have several computer on my home network, consisting of Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP, and a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. I have all the pcs on the same workgroup, all having their firewalls disabled (windows firewall), since I'm behind a firewall.  This issue seemed to not be present at first, then over several weeks, ...

Well I actually read about this in this month's issue of PC World. But here is the link to the story on their website: http://blogs.pcworld.com/techlog/archives/006622.html The story on their site has different info though.

Microsoft plans to end all retail and OEM sales of Windows XP on June 30. Even though 79% of people that took a survey on PC World .com said if they were given a choice of which operating system to have on a new pc they would choose XP. They also took a survey on the site on which operating system people are running on the computer that they were ...

Well thanks for all your discussion on the matter - it's appreciated.  Just so we're all on the same page, here's an photo of the BSOD I get all the time. Anyway, my dilemma continues... I reinstalled again, but this time with my old copy of Windows XP Home Edition - 32 bit. Guess what? All is working fine - no blue ...

I've just built a new system and I keep getting BSOD's that predominantly give an error code that begin with 0x1000007e and at no time have any system files been listed as to what caused the problem (just the long hexadecimal string no one really understands in the brackets/parentheses).  My research suggests to me that the most ...
