Q: Why do I always restart after clicking Windows XP after installing Windows XP? A: This is because some motherboards' advanced power management cannot be supported by Windows XP. Generally, the computer with AWARD's BIOS motherboard does not have this problem. So far, the motherboard that has encountered the AMI BIOS has this problem. The solution is to upgrade your BIOS, which is to flash the BIOS. However, be careful not to brush the wrong model. Q: I installed Win XP first, it does not provide a dual boot option. I also want to install a Win 98, how to transfer Win XP dual boot menu? A: You can install Win 98 directly on the basis of Win XP. After you finish, you can only enter Win 98. At this point run Win XP installer, select “ repair installation & rdquo; The dual boot menu appears when you start again. Q: If the hardware or BIOS does not match the ACPI specification of Windows XP, what is the problem during installation? A: If you install Windows XP, the first time you restart your computer, the screen will stay on the Windows XP splash screen and you will not be able to complete the installation process. It is recommended that you contact the motherboard manufacturer to update your BIOS. If you are unable to update the BIOS immediately, you can go to the BIOS menu and see Disable \\\\\\"ACPI function\\\\\\" in Bios Power Management Setup. And re-run Windows XP. Press F5 during installation and in the options that appear, select Standard PC to complete the Windows XP installation. However, ACPI functions will not be available after the installation is completed. Q: Do all XPs need to be activated? Can I use it if it is not activated? How do you activate it? A: In the Windows XP operating system, Microsoft adopted a "activation" technology. Users who require XP will register with the Microsoft Activation Center according to the user's hardware configuration and a serial number generated by the user's hardware configuration within 30 days after the system is first installed. Otherwise, XP will automatically lock. After activation, if the user replaces the system hardware multiple times or purchases a new one, it must be reactivated. The essence of this technology is to ensure that every Licence authorized by Microsoft can only be used on one machine, thus preventing pirates from producing a large number of pirated XPs with only one serial number. Q: My computer is a dual system, Win 98 is in the C drive, Win XP is on the D drive. If you want to format the C drive to reinstall Win 98, if you do not reinstall Win XP, is there any way to restore dual boot? A: Just re-install Win 98 after formatting the C drive. After the installation is complete, you will find that you lose the dual boot menu, and losing the dual boot means that XP cannot be started. It doesn't matter, re-run the XP installer and select “fix”install. Rest assured, "fix" installation does not mean reinstalling. Q: How do I get Windows 2000 to access Windows XP in my LAN? A: First add a new user in the Windows XP Control Panel -> User Account. After setting the permissions, you can access Windows XP with the newly added username and password in Windows 2000. If you are using XP as a Professional version, you can also open the guest permission, so you don't need to add new users, any machine can access XP. Q: I have a Dell USB 9985 keyboard. The result is not available in Win 98's pure DOS mode, but it works fine in Win 98 and Win XP. How to do? Answer: USB devices generally need to be driven. The 9985 keyboard is a USB keyboard. Therefore, you must first drive the USB port. This can be done in CMOS. Generally, there are USB KB/Mouse Legacy options in the Chipset Features in CMOS. Select Keyborad. That's it. Q: My Internet Explorer under Windows XP is running very slowly. Why? A: If your machine's CPU and memory are enough, you generally don't have this problem. The effect of Win XP running below 256M memory and running above 256M memory is a far cry. However, I found that if you make changes to the IE advanced options, such as adding some effects, it will make IE slower, especially when displaying the above menus and toolbars. The solution is to click on “Default” on the panel of the "Advanced Options" dialog box. Use the default settings of IE. Q: Why can't my Modem work under XP? A: This is mainly due to driver issues. Many Modem Win 2000 drivers can't be used under XP, but some Modem Win 98 drivers can be used under XP. In addition, the built-in Modem of the Golden Net ESS chip and the built-in Modem of some Rockwell chips can work well under XP, and can be driven by XP. And for the users of the Jinwangba built-in Modem, there is no problem under XP under the call of Win 2000. Q: My Windows XP is still in English after installing the Simplified Chinese language pack. How do I set it up? A: On some BBS, I found that many friends don't install this language pack. In fact, after the installation, the welcome screen has been welcomed by WELCOME. As for the interface, go to “Control Panel”-“Regional Regional Options”-“Menu Display”, select Simplified Chinese, log in and log in again. If you don't choose all users to use this configuration, you will find that other users are still in the English interface. Haha, this time I can use both Chinese and English versions. Q: Why is it slow to install Windows XP under DOS? A: When many friends install Windows XP or Windows 2000 under DOS, if you do not run smartdrv.exe before installation, the installation process will be very slow, and you may not be able to install it one night. The smartdrv.exe file is located on the Windows 98/Me CD or in the command directory of the Windows system directory. Q: Why did I have to convert the partition to NTFS format during Windows XP installation? A: This is because you did not install it carefully when you installed it under Windows. At the beginning of the installation, there is a "Advanced" - Allow me to select the partition to install during the installation process. Re-run the installer, remember to select this, and then restart to choose the partition to install and whether to retain the original partition format, or formatted as NTFS OR FAT32 and so on. Q: I am using Win Me now. Can I upgrade directly to XP? A: Windows XP does a great job of upgrading and installing it. There are three ways to install it: upgrade installation, dual system coexistence installation, and new installation. We can successfully upgrade to Windows XP based on the previous Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000 operating systems. Note that Win 95, Win NT 3.51, and earlier Windows systems cannot be upgraded to Windows XP. Q: I have recently encountered a problem. When I installed Win 98 and then installed Win 2000 or XP, I always jumped back or crashed after copying the file. Why? A: Win 98 is a DOS-based operating system, especially because it manages memory. Win 98 will load HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS. Even without CONFIG.SYS, Win 98 will be initialized in the graphical interface. Load HIMEM.SYS at the time. The two files that manage basic memory have multiple parameters, and different configurations will bring different memory allocation environments. Of course, when the system is overheated, such as when the fan is stopped, these symptoms will also be manifested. You should first check the basics of the hardware such as the normality of the fan and connection. If your system is overclocked and cannot be installed properly, please lower the normal frequency and then install Win 2000 and XP, the success rate is higher.
