Guest Karen Snow Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Every time I turn on my laptop, the computer tries to load Windows XP Professional. We don't have that on the lap top and I can't figure out how to stop it from continually doing this. It also happens when I open Microsoft Outlook. Any suggestions from the more computer literate group out there? -- Karen Snow
Guest Bobby Johnson Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Re: Windows XP Professional I would say you have wondered into the wrong forum. This forum is for 64-bit Windows operating systems. Where did you acquire the laptop? Is there someone who could look at your laptop to determine what is what. The information you provide is very sparse and it would be extremely difficult to come up with a solution based on such sparse information. Do you have a local computer shop? It would be easier if someone was looking at your laptop to figure out what's happening. Karen Snow wrote: > Every time I turn on my laptop, the computer tries to load Windows XP > Professional.

Guest Tony Sperling Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Re: Windows XP Professional This could only be, either the remnants of an old installation, or you are having the installation CD in the drive as you boot. Unless someone is pulling your leg? Tony. . .

Guest Tom Ferguson Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Re: Windows XP Professional Please describe what you are seeing as the computer boots. In particular, do you see a menu presented which offers you a choice of operating systems to boot? -- Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "Karen Snow" <ksnow5@neo.rr.com> wrote in message news:E4201A57-3526-4B02-95FB-95CCE696FA2D@microsoft.com... > Every time I turn on my laptop, the computer tries to load Windows XP > Professional.
