XP On 64-Bit PC?

I'm shopping for a beater PC that I will install Windows XP Pro on. I'm guessing that if, by some chance, I purchase a 64-bit machine, there's no way Windows XP is going to run on it. Have I got it right? -- PeteCresswell

I got 2 x 1 GB DDR400 in my system. Then added another identical 2 x 1 GB DDR400 RAM, now when the PC boot up it shows DDR333 in the first boot up screen. I tried to remove the old 2 GB, it shows DDR400, so the new RAM is OK. Any idea?

ScreenCam Multimedia Recorder
by Guest Crazy Horse- 0 replies

Back in the Win95 timeframe, there was a little applet that shipped with Lotus SmartSuite called "ScreenCam." It allowed one to essentially record everything that took place on the monitor's screen. Plus, you could narrate what was taking place with a voice recording overlay. "ScreenCam" is not supported and does not run on the later versions of Windows (2k, XP, etc.). So, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a similar applet that provides the same functionality in an XP environment that's available to the general public, and ideally, for free. I infer this capability exists from seeing an MS Help resource that incorporated the above: i.e., screen act…

I have a Dell Dimension 4550 that came with Windows XP Pro installed. I just inherited a Dell Dimension 4300 that came with Windows ME installed and I would like to install XP Pro and network the 2 computers together. The product code label on the 4550 reads as follows: "Windows XP Professional 1-2 CPU" Does this mean I acan install on 2 computers? Can I use the XP "reinstalation disc" from my 4550 to install on my 4300?

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer--mouse freeze ups
by Guest Phisherman- 5 replies
- 244 views
My Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer mouse occasionally stops working. For example, when I'm reading posts using Forte Agent, the cursor stops responding and stays in one location. While the cursor is frozen, I can navigate using the keyboard, reboot, then the mouse starts working again. I downloaded the latest Intellimouse driver utility from Microsoft, but the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer is not listed. I tried a few models anyway, but it still freezes up. I installed the original mouse driver (the CD that came with the mouse) and I still get lockups, but not as frequent. This mouse is about 5 years old and I like it (when it is working). I'm running…

Wireless Connection
by Guest wnfisba- 1 reply
- 151 views
We are running a notegook with Windows XP Professional. The wireless connection works fine for one user but does not work at all for a different user. Are there some sort of personal settings that need to be set for each user within Windows XP??? And if so, how would I go about mimicing the settings for the working user to the one that is not working??? The wireless connection in the system tray for the non-working user is disabled and I have no idea how to enable it. I would think that this would be a global setting for the entire notebook...not user dependent. ANy help would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your help. wnfisba
