What are the differences between Windows 2000 and Windows XP?
Windows XP has several features that distinguish it from Windows 2000.
1. The Luna interface.
2. Integrated zip functionality.
3. Remote Assistance.
4. Integrated CD burning.
5. Hyperthreading support
6. User-mode driver framework (created after XP was released, and never backported).
7. Windows Movie Maker
8. Fast User Switching
9. The option to run tasks as an "Administrator" while logged in as an unprivileged account (pity this isn't done more often).
Yes, you can convert a FAT32 to and NTFS disk by formatting it from FAT32 to NTFS. All files will be removed so remember backup. Use Disk Management in XP to format. For devices right click them in My Computer.
How do you change the system font in Windows XP?
The only way I know of to change the fonts used within Windows, without third-party software, is through the Display Properties.
Follow these simple steps to change your font:
# Right click in an empty space on the desktop # Click the last option on the context menu, 'Properties' # The Display Properties dialog should now appear # Navigate to the 'Appearance' tab # Click 'Advanced' This opens the 'Advanced Appearance' window, from here you can select each item and change its font, size, and color. Item's in this list are the various types of text displays throughout Windows. For example, the font of an active window, or the font of tooltips.
Once you have made your changes, click 'Ok' to close the window, and then click 'Apply' in the Display Properties window to apply your changed settings. Windows may stop responding and display a 'Please Wait' box, this delay is normal.
What is the normal path and file name of Windows 2000 and Windows XP?
This question is not complete, so I will elaborate to the best of my ability. Windows XP by default is located in C:\WINDOWS and Windows 2000 by default is located in C:\WINNT
I can not specify a filename, because I don't know what filename you are looking for. Please be more specific.
How much RAM does the windows 2000xp have?
Windows XP does not have the RAM, its the computer that has it. The amount of RAM can differ for each computer.
What is the difference between Windows XP and windows NT?
"Better" can entail many things. Windows XP is superior to Windows 2000 in a few areas, equivalent in most, and inferior in a couple inconsequential ways.
Ways that XP is considered superior:
1. Integrated zip support. Windows 2000 requires third-party programs to open and read zip files.
2. .NET frameworks and user-mode driver framework. These were created much later by Microsoft, and simply not made available to 2000.
3. Better wireless network management. Windows 2000 did not have a wireless manager in the typical sense - it was treated like any other network device, and did not "roam" networks.
4. Icons. Windows XP supports full 32-bit color icons. Most icons in Windows 2000 are an uglier 16-bit color (or worse).
5. Fonts. Windows XP supports "ClearType", which makes characters look less pixelated and more smooth, especially on LCD screens.
Ways that Windows XP can be considered inferior:
1. Windows XP uses a chunky and (for the time it was released) bloated theme and appearance. This can be turned off to some extent, and give it a more 2000-ish appearance (called "Classic"). The point is probably moot, since new computers can easily handle the appearance without any noticeable slowdown.
2. An annoying product validation requirement, which sometimes even fails for legitimate users.
Ways that Windows 2000 and XP are on a level playing field:
1. DirectX 9 - Both Windows XP and 2000 support DX9, and neither will see any newer release from Microsoft.
2. Performance. With XP's visual "enhancements" turned off, they run about the same on the same hardware. Windows 2000 will run on slightly less. Windows XP has slightly improved performance on newer processors with HyperThreading and / or multiple cores.
3. Application support. Almost all applications that run on XP will run on 2000 and vice-versa. The exceptions are primarily ones that deliberately restrict the product from working on 2000. This is often done by Microsoft.

How do you get tabs on your computer?
Step 1
Open Internet Explorer. First, click on the Internet Explorer icon. If your homepage is your email account, click on the TOOLS link and scroll down to Internet Options.
Step 2Click on Settings in the TAB section. Once in the Internet Options, stay in GENERAL tab and scroll down to TABS and click on SETTINGS.
Step 3Under Tabbed Browsing Settings, check Enable Quick Tabs, Open New Tabs Next to the Current Tabs, Always Open Pop-ups in New Window and a new tab in current window.
Step 4That was easy--and now all your web browsing will be in one open window and all ads and other web pages will be shown as tabs, not another open window.
What are at least two ways you can determind how much RAM is installed?
You click on Start>Run. Type "dxdiag" and click OK. If a dialog box appears just say Yes. The computer might load for awhile now. On the first window that appears, the third entry from the bottom is "Memory" and next to this is the amount of RAM you have.
You can also download the application called CPU-Z. When you run it it shows you all the detail of your CPU, motherboard, etc. The fourth tab is "Memory". Here you can see what type of memory you have and how much and latencies and everything.
You can also restart your PC and see how much RAM you have when your BIOS runs POST. (This is where you can see what and how many hard drives you have installed in your system.)
first: right-click the "My Computer" icon
second: click the "HARDWARE",then click "Device Manager"
What is the name of the folder on the Windows 2000xp CD where the installation files stored?
In A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining Your PC Sixth Edition, Page 59 of Chapter 2 "What an Operating System Does" You will find it says:
"The data is stored in a file on the hard drive called a SWAP file or PAGE file. The Windows 2000/XP swap file is Pagefile.sys, and the Windows 9x/Me swap file is Win386.swp."
clean install formats your hard drive eliminating the virus and doesn't in an upgrade
You want to set up a dual boot scenario between windows 98 and windows 2000?
If you have the hardware to support Windows 98 you can use Microsoft Virtual PC to install multiple Operating Systems that run on your current OS.
Microsoft Virtual PC software is free; it is just a shell however that allows you install Operating Systems just as you would on a new hard drive, provided you have a valid OS on disk like Windows 98. You can download Virtual PC at Microsoft's official website.
You may be asking how to install a dual boot system with Windows 98 and Windows 2000. If this is what you're trying to accomplish then you will need to know that you must install Windows 98 on its own Primary partition. Each operating system must be installed on its own partition. If you have a hard disk that has only a single partition, you have several options available.
1. You could reformat your current hard drive after backing up all your important files and re-install your operating systems and partition your hard drive into 2 Primary partitions.
Windows will only allow a Primary partition to be made bootable; Windows will not allow Logical partitions of an Extended partition to be made bootable so you cannot install Windows on a Logical partition. An operating system like Linux will allow Logical partitions to be made bootable. -- Meaning you must create at least 2 Primary partitions to install a dual boot system with Windows.
Also you can only create up to 4 Primary partitions on a single hard drive. Or you can create up to 3 Primary partitions and 1 Extended partition.
Also you must know that the native files systems for Windows 98 and 2000 are not the same. Windows 98's native file system is FAT32 and Windows 2000 is NTFS. FAT32 cannot see an NTFS partition; however NTFS can read a FAT32 partition. The boot sector must be able to be read by both OS's. Which means the boot sector must be on a common file system between both OS's; FAT32 in this case. Installing Windows 98 first will install a FAT32 boot sector and will be able to be read by Windows 2000 after it is installed. This way the system will dual boot correctly.
On another note DO NOT INSTALL Windows98 after Windows 2000 has already been installed. Your system will not dual boot correctly; you will overwrite the boot sector. Remember Windows 98 cannot see an NTFS partition, by default Windows 2000 creates an NTFS boot sector, since Windows 98 cannot see an NTFS partition it will overwrite the boot sector and your system will not dual boot correctly.
Not all Windows versions can dual boot together. To see the supported dual boot configurations and more info on dual booting see related links.
2. Your other option; which is perhaps the best choice for what you are trying to accomplish is simply hook up another hard drive inside your PC case and you will be able to configure a dual boot system much easier and won't have to reformat your current hard drive. On a side note, you cannot use an external hard drive to boot to an Windows NT operating system, such as a Windows OS later than Windows 98. You will receive an error and the system will not boot! However, you can install an open source operating system such as Linux or Unix and have it boot to an external hard drive. Also Linux/Unix operating systems will even boot to a USB stick.

How do you enter safe mode while windows is loading?
Safe Mode is a good way to get the computer running so you can try and figure out why it won't boot up in normal mode.
When you turn the computer on, a message will come up at start up, stating something like "Windows is now starting up." When this message appears, press F8 on the keyboard. You will then be given a list of options to choose from; one of the options is Safe Mode. Select this one and your computer will start in safe mode (no unnecessary drivers are loaded).
Click Start, right click My Computer, click Properties. It will be under the General tab.
What is the difference between Windows NT and Windows 2000?
Basically, ME was a new coat of paint for Windows 98. It had a look similar to Windows 2000 and some added functionality over Win98, but also seemed to have a large number of reliability issues. ME was geared towards the personal computer user. Windows 2000 was developed from the Windows NT kernel, making it a far more robust platform. Since 2000 was developed more as a server operating system, it lacked some "personal" functionality, such as graphics and other function geared towards gamepley. Much of this is included in Windows XP, which is a more personal use extension of the Windows 2000 foundation.
Hello, To upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows XP first make sure you have the correct system requirements: - at least a Pentium 3 (or equivalent) - at least 512Mb of ram - at least 10GB of HDD Then simply buy Windows XP software and follow the upgrade instructions. Normally you will not lose any application nor any documents (and files) stored on your computer. However not all applications you had installed will work on Windows XP, but most of them will. Importantly you will need to buy a new version of your Antivirus to make it compatible with Windows XP. Before installing Windows XP you can do a system compatibility scan using the free tool downloadable on microsoft.com
A diskette is a removable storage device that is used in a floppy disk drive. It contains a plastic rotating disk, it is inside a shell. There were 2 main varieties, the 5.25 inch floppy and the 3.5 inch floppy. The 5.25" diskette truly was floppy. The disk is soft and inside a flexible shell, and you had to take care to never bend it. The 3.25" floppy was actually hard. The platter was more rigid and it was in a hard plastic shell.
How can you care for a diskette?
Keep away from sunlight and heat sources, avoid getting dust on the surface (in particular, keeping the slider closed and/or keep the diskettes in their sleeves. Once a diskette is damaged, it cannot be fixed. Make sure regular backups are made of all diskettes.
