What Window XP version do I need?
by Guest benp84@gmail.com- 7 replies

I just bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ with 2 GB of RAM. Do I need Windows XP Pro to support my dual-core processor, or will XP Home work just as well? Also, is 32-bit better than 64-bit since I run less than 4 GB of RAM? Thanks.

by Guest Old Bob- 3 replies

when I put my camera memory card in my printer, a window came up and asked me what I wanted to do and I selected to open with a particular program and checked the box to always use this function/program. I have purchased a new printer and now wish to change this association. How do I. I have looked in the File Types association and cannot find that function-the auto transfer of pictures from camera memory care in the printer to PC or am I looking in the wrong place? -- Old Bob

WMI Error
by Guest Eddie- 5 replies

I usually get either of the following errors or both of them together every time my Windows starts up: "WMI encountered a problem and needed to close. EventType : BEX P1 : wmiprvse.exe P2 : 5.1.2600.2180 P3 : 41107bbd P4 : unknown P5 : 0.0.0.0 P6 : 00000000 P7 : 00d7e970 P8 : c0000005 P9 : 00000008 " The time on the error message shows that this error occurred several hours before or sometimes even a day before. I'm wondering why I didn't get this error at the time that the error occurred. The other error which I receive is: "wmiprvse.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x00d7e970" referenced memory at "0x00000000". T…

Hi, My pc keeps shutting down without any warning or anything and when I try to switch on the cpu again, it doesn't even get through the booting process. After sometime, when I try it, it works for about 15 mins and then shuts down again. The temps have been normal cpu - 41 Ambient - 43 remote - 66 HDD - 43 temp1 - 41 Previously it used to restart/show the bluescreen. But, after some days without any problems, now it just shuts down. It can happen any moment now. How can this problem suddenly occur? What do you think I should do? Is it hardware or software related? Do you think reinstalling xp should work? How will I reinstall if it keeps s…

The Sun web site says not to delete older versions of the Java Runtime Environment (I currently have version 1.4.1.02 on my XP system) before installing a later version (I want to install Version 1.6 -2, the latest version), but I've seen others post that you should delete the older version before installing a newer one. Advice, anyone?

Opening All Users\start menu is very slow
by Guest MRB- 3 replies
- 239 views
I have just installed Windows XP Pro and all the associated updates on my PC. I have also cleaned up my user associated start menus by moving the short cuts to the user accounts I want them to reside. I now notice a 5 second delay when I try to select the All Users\start menu folder from within My Computer (i.e., selecting My Computer, then C:, then Documents and Settings, then All Users, then Start Menu). If I go to it by right clicking the Start menu button on the lower left corner of the screen it is instantaneous. I also get the delay when I use the back arrow key to come out of the Start Menu. This phenomena does not happen with any other user specifi…

I'm using an Amd X2 cpu with a hitachi hard drive 2gb ddr2 ram. I'm getting screen freezes and program crashes regular? If i leave the pc on and walk away 9 times out of ten when i come back the screen has frozen and the mouse is stuck forcing me to reboot? Is it possible these problems would be occuring due to my last installation which went bad, when I tried to fix that installation i used the fixboot command in recovery console could this command have altered my pc's stability? I'm finding alot more crashes on this AMD system compared to previous intel cpu's? Is anyone experiencing the same problems? Is it possible I need a better heatsink? Maybe I shou…
