[ironside]

windows XP
does any one have any suggestions before I install it or even words of wisdom
Im not putting it on my own computer but I do have one that I use as a server. :D

[Junky]

Hey ironside. I'm gonna stay tuned to your venture. Let us know ho it turns out. I'm kindda interested in the program myself.

[ironside]

sure junky I have to learn this software so I can teach my friend how to use it, I should have it by wed and installed by afternoon so it should be online by dinner time but no fast food if you know what I mean. :D

[Dodge]

Ironside. You will love it. Its great. May be a pain to get all your hardware installed at first. I only had problems with my modem. The rest went great....

Junky, you'd love it......

Okay, with Xmas in mind, what is so great about this Window's XP, compared to all the others?

Hi to you too ironside. Great os, which gives you two choices of install. If you are not sure at the start, just upgrade your present window system.Then for one reason or other you can just go to add/remove in XP and remove it and automatically go back to your previous windows os. Clean install does not give you that choice. Partition i am afraid...but it is a great os...........highwayman :cool:

Just don't buy your copy of XP from Microsoft Germany, they've managed to duplicate the product keys (http://theregister.co.uk/content/4/22651.html) so some of the copies they're selling aren't activating :rolleyes:

[lufbra]

What does the "XP" stand for, is it Extra Problems??? :D :D :D

Dave.

[Junky]

Dang, Dave is one smart puppy. You hit it square on the head Dave. Good goin'. ;)

the new hard drive and XP comes tomorrow but unfortunately for me I will be spending the day at the hospital getting a cat scan fun fun, I got to drink two 16 ounces of barium
so I don't know when I will install them maybe Thursday :(

[Harrie]

Barium and a CAT scan, ugh! I don't mind typing 'em up but I hate to see you have to have it! It'll be over before you know it, though.....and then onto your install! Hey, I'm kind of interested in this thread, because on another board they had a thread about XP and not one good thing was said! But I sure do find........with any OS, there sure are a lot of varying opinions out there! Me, I still have 95 and I'm perfectly satisfied! Am I crazy?

[ironside]

well its over the cat scan any way still don't have the hard drive or XP darned company sent it to my friends house his is the main address on the credit card mines second.
wasn't funny at the hospital had to drink more of the barium YECH and had a IV hooked up to put in the contrast A lovely burning feeling through out my body.
but its done and im waiting to get my goodies

Harrie, 95 well you might as well have 3.11
I hated first edition 98 hated 95 with a passion liked 98SE and loved ME its crash proof for me any way.
still don't know about XP im putting it on my server computer because its easier to redo if I have to and if I like it that well I might later get upgrade for my personal computer.
I will keep every one posted because im really fair about testing stuff out.
