Windows XP

Hi,

A newly purchased system is causing problems while rebooting the new Windows(upgrading to different Windows). I installed a new copy of Windows XP, but got an error saying "invalid product code" and Microsoft refuses to activate even though I entered the appropriate code. What will be the exact cause of this error? Thanks folks.

Hi Readers,

I posted this question here as I ran out of ideas on how to fix my problem with computer. Also, I do hope that I will get an answer as soon as possible.

I am currently getting a problem opening the Add/Remove Windows Components. I am using a Windows XP machine and unfortunately, I cannot access the mentioned in Control panel. Whenever I am trying to open it, it says something about the setup was unable to open information file netoc.inf. Also, it says that I need to contact my system administrator. Well, what’s weird is, I am the administrator in my PC.

I do not know why suddenly it looks for an information file netoc. inf. I do not remember deletion a file named as this.

Hi guys,

Please help me. We have one PC where our Time attendance is being logged. We are using a simple time attendance software which gets time directly from the computer, but this PC is also used by our HR assistants as their own.
 
The problem is, the user can change the date and time of the PC, which results to altered time attendance for our employees. I have searched the Internet, but all they recommend is to download those software to restrict the date and time of PC. But I don't want to expend another penny just to buy that licensed software. Is there another way to restrict time and date without buying the necessary software?
 
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 32-Bit Operating System. I don't have any problems with my system, except for this annoying clock, that keeps changing it's time zone and the time itself. Every time I turn my computer on, I have to change the time to my current time.

While working on my computer, the clock will stay firm and will not change its value unless I shut down my computer. After rebooting, the clock will change its value and time zone to a different country.

Hi folks,

I am using a Dell laptop with Windows OS installed.

I observed that, when starting new programs gets started automatically and my screen resolution changes with desktop icons and size. 

The screen resolution changes form 1024 x 768 to 640 x 480. Although I can changes those setting ,but unable to save them and make them stay. This happens every time I boot my system.

I have an ATI Rage 128 Ultra Video Card and the also updated Video Drivers. I believe the Video card driver is working fine.

I tried my best in getting screen resolution but unable to save those settings.

I have no clue and if someone can suggest me how to get this done.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am sheikhuuu and I have windows XP installed on my computer. The version of my windows is service pack two from 2006. I have got an issue with my windows installer that it keeps popping-up simultaneously and doesn’t perform any further action. I mean to say, my window installer appears automatically and does not move forward to install anything.

The problem’s length is as much that I even cannot install any type of program now. And if I want to install any software the window installer pop-up for a while with an irritating tone/noise and then disappears. I would like to share that I have tried many things to get out of this irritating position but nothing is working for me right now.
