First, avoid virtual drive
now most of the virtual drive in XP is unstable, prone to crashes XP, because the software is different from the virtual drive: it through special mechanisms, in the "Device Manager" I lied to Windows and let Windows think that it has added a physical optical drive. XP only designed the driver to restore the hardware. I did not expect to "restore/delete" the hardware itself. Because XP is specially optimized for NTFS and network, and most virtual CD-ROMs are developed under the FAT32 environment. Currently, there are few virtual CD-ROM softwares that are compatible with XP. If you have to install them, you have to endure several crashes. Slowly try which one is stable, and XP may crash if you don't.
Special reminder:
Even if you find a stable virtual drive software, if you virtualize more than 4 physical drive, it may trigger the XP activation check mechanism, asking you to activate XP again. ——Because Microsoft thinks that you have changed four hardware, it is likely to be a machine change. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not install a virtual CD drive.
really use the virtual drive, the best on multiple operating systems, which use 98 to install better. It seems that only when developers who write virtual CD-ROM software write new versions that can run stably without causing activation, can you really use the virtual drive smoothly.
Second, avoid invalid date
XP there is a matching test and activation mechanisms of the date of inspection. If your motherboard CMOS battery is powered down, or if you misuse or use other date-restricted software, causing the date to become an invalid date in 1999 (no XP developed in 1999), then XP will initialize the graphical interface. After the word "welcome", the system is locked, and there are no prompts and options, just like the crash of the mouse. If you don't pay attention to the effect of the date, you can't fix XP anyway, so be sure to take care of the date you started XP. After you enter XP, it's okay to change the date.
three bogey outside the cat did not open the power
XP for ISDN and broadband network design optimization, for the MODEM is not so "take care" of. Many cats do not have proper drivers in XP. They can only be replaced by FOR 2000 or NT drivers, and dial-up exceptions often occur. Especially for many foreign cats, if you don't turn on the power of MODEM when you start XP, you will not find the hardware when you open XP after you enter the graphical interface. You need to refresh the scanning hardware or restart XP again in the device manager. trouble. So please pay attention to friends with foreign cats: remember to turn on your MODEM power before entering XP.
Fourth, avoid opening the default sharing and remote assistance
because XP is part of Microsoft's .Net strategy for achieving open a lot of networking by default. For example: share your drive, remotely solve Windows operation problems through the network, and so on. These network functions may be very convenient for people who know how to do it, but for beginners who don't have enough knowledge about network security, there is a certain danger, because sharing the drive and allowing remote assistance is the need to open the port of your computer and open it. Permissions, although XP has its own firewall, but if you encounter a clever virus or a malicious hacker, these services may also expose you to data loss or compromise.
general are not familiar with network security knowledge of people on a local area network if you do not, I suggest turn off sharing and remote assistance capabilities.
V. bogey and then installed XP on the same partition to install Windows9X
XP is NT architecture development, but the default file directory is not placed WINNT, you install XP on a partition in Also named as the Windows directory. If you install XP98 in the same partition after installing XP, it may not only destroy the boot menu of multiple operating systems, but also may damage the XP system because the 98 installer overwrites the file, because the 9X default installation path is also Windows. Therefore, it is recommended that you still have a separate partition for each operating system, and pay attention to installing a low-level version of the Windows and then installing XP, so as not to use the installer to fix the multiple boot menu.

six bogey on the support ACPI bad machine supports ACPI bad with XP's standby or hibernation
machinery, mainly power supply and motherboard, then if you use hibernation Or the standby function, after the recovery, the sound card may sound abnormally, with a lot of murmurs.
In addition, because standby and hibernation are to shut down the hard disk, but in the system with poor support for ACPI, the hard disk is not turned off but the power is not completely shut down, maybe you leave a few seconds After the hard disk is automatically turned on, the magnetic head is greatly affected by the current without being reset in a short time, and the life of the hard disk will be greatly affected.
It is recommended that you find that your XP system standby or hibernation function has a BUG, it is best to change a good power or good motherboard, if you do not intend to replace, it is best not to use XP standby and hibernation.
How? In contrast to your XP, is it also a "taboo"?
