This is more of a statement than a question, but it might help those of us who will continue to use XP as a Guest O/S after next mid-April. And maybe someone will have some advice. Recently, I had to reinstall Win 7. Despite its saving most Program files, I had to reinstall VMWare from my external HD list [i put all my created and downloaded files there] of programs and the XP HE from its disk. Something I never had thought of up till now, with loads of Updates getting jammed in the pipeline and taking days to install, was that I should have backed up XP, using the ntbackup that can be installed from the XP CD. This is now crucial, as there won't be any Support for XP soon enough. I only need XP for running old, Win 7-incompatible programs that I'm used to and can't afford to update. View this thread

I updated my Windows XP from Internet Explorer. When finished installing, the update window did not automatically close itself. It only says "Update 20 of 20 (done)" and the only option is to close by "X" or "Cancel" on the bottom right corner of the window. I clicked "X" but nothing happened so I tried "Cancel" but it only says cancelling and because I tired of waiting, I forcefully close the Internet Explorer through Task Manager.How can I fix this?Thank you.

I am a Microsoft enthusiast, but, it seems that with all the great items that are available, if you are not the current consumer...you are left behind? My WP7.8 phone is great...but I only hear of new capabilities/opportunities for WP8. I have not heard of iPhone users who are not on iPhone 5 NOT being able to use apps and most functionalities? Zune.net v XBox live? It just feels that Zune.net is not really getting any attention. However, all you are left with if you have not adopted a full-fledged W8 computer...not a converted W7 computer, IS Zune.net. As far as Apps go, is it possible that more can be made for both platforms? I got my WP7.5 phone last year and the model was ONLY introduced 5 months before WP8 came out. It would seem that if if apps can be made across different styles of phones, than at least WP7,7.5,7.8 can be included to? And if not the 3rd party developers, DEFINITELY Microsoft...? For the record I have WP7.8, W8 (converted), W7 and even a Zune & Zune HD. I like my products...just wish I didn't feel like I am penalized for being in the 'old school' vs the 'new school'. Is this likely to change with acceptance and encouragement for ALL Windows consumers, eventually? Or am I wrong in this assumption? View this thread

I've had Windows 8 since the day it was released. Just yesterday I purchased Windows Media player online for $10. Ever since that every time I turn on my computer it says something about "Windows activation is ready" and I don't even know what it is. But, whether I do it on the Metro setting or control panel on the Desktop view, the Windows Activation does not work. First I would like to know what this "Windows Activation" is, and why it is not working? View this thread

I installed the internet explorer 10 for windows 7 and now the HP simple pass does not work on any site. There are no updates on HP simple pass that have been missed. This is highly irratiating to have to reenter each user name and password when HP simple pass took care of this. Is my only option to uninstall explorer 10? View this thread
