| | Does Windows XP/Vista 64 bit editions work well with 32 bit applications? How about in terms of the processor (64 bit Dual Core) being compatible with a 32 bit Windows OS and its applications? |

This is my results and it is very conclusive. The support for 32-bit application on Windows Vista x64 is superb (however, some may cause system hiccups). As for Windows XP x64 ... don't bother. xboxrulz

Windows Xp, How To Re-enable Show All Possible Color

Why I May Be Installing Windows Xp Sp3 Again
(8) This is a sad tale of a man and his machine that would not start again. The story continues with a

problems began last weekend when I started my computer after it had been off from the previous
night. Everything went normally throughout the POST but once Windows XP started I heard the dreaded
clicking from the hard drive. After several reboots and a Spinrite diagnostic I gave up and called
the time of death around three in the afternoon. This is not all bad because I had....

100 Reasons To Use Windows Vista

responding most of the time. Also, many users have complained about User Account Control, which say
that it makes using the PC not a breeze. I haven't tried it yet, but from others' point of
view, it seems to be intrusive and annoying. 2. Your music may be a click away from your re....

Will Using Fdisk Corrupt Windows Partition?
(9) I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....

How Can I Make Xp User Autologin ?
I know how to make the Administrator user automatically log in in Wind (6) I would like my system to automatically log the user Administrator at power-up or at system reboot.
And I don't want to remove the Administrator user password. I knew how to do this with Windows
2000 : in the command prompt, type "control userpasswords" and you see the user admin pannel coming
up, you uncheck "user must provide a password", the system asks you the default user passwords and
then you don't need to give the password again at each boot. How do you perform this under
Windows XP ? I would not like to directly edit the registry settings, I would like t....
Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (19) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....
Problems Installing Vista
(14) I just got a hold of Vista from my friend. He downloaded it from the Microsoft site and burned it on
a DVD for me. Since I just installed VMware recently, I wanted to give Vista a try. So far it's
only been giving me headaches. I've been getting all kinds of errors...most likely related to
the amount of disk space I allocated for the install or the memory assigned. Well, I gave it all I
got today. I set VMware to give it 15GB of hard drive space and 512MB of memory. It seems to work.
Got up to the copying files and after a short file it gave me an error code 800....
The Best Version Of Windows
(42) With all the different flavors of Windows, what in your opinion is the best version? Win95, Win98,

users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr....
Using Same Serial # On Multiple Copies Of Windows

myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA

Windows Not Recognizing Ipod
