What is the difference between restore and maximize window?
Asked by Wiki User
Resizing and restoring windows are similar but different tasks. Resizing a window is likely self explanatory - you can make the window larger or smaller, and you can resize the window vertically, horizontally, or a combination of the two. Restoring windows, however, does not allow you to do the same thing. Restoring the window reverts the window to its previous location and size if you have either minimized or maximized the window.

How to change Windows Vista language from French to English?
Asked by Wiki User
The display language is the language that Windows uses in wizards, dialog boxes, menus, Help and Support topics, and other items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, and others require you to install additional language files. When you change the display language, it is changed for your user account and is not changed on the Welcome screen. If you want to set the display language for multiple users or the Welcome screen, see Apply regional and language settings to reserved accounts.
1. Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options. 2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab. 3. Under Display language, choose a language from the list, and then click OK. NoteIf you don't see the list of display languages, you need to install additional language files first.
Is it possible to convert a FAT16 partition to NTFS in Windows 98?
Asked by Wiki User
No, and neither would it be desirable. Windows 98 cannot boot off an NTFS partition, and if your system was using a FAT16 partition, it is probably not large enough to benefit from NTFS anyway.

What are the Windows 98 specifications?
Asked by Wiki User
The following requirements are Microsoft's "official" minimum system requirements which I have tested to work fine with the exception of only 64 MB of RAM (performance is poor). Increasing your RAM to 128 MB would be the only upgrade I would strongly consider as my absolute minimum Windows XP system requirements.
Windows XP Home Edition Minimum:
233 MHz CPU *
64 MB of RAM (may limit performance and some features) *
1.5 GB of available hard disk space *
Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor
CD-ROM or DVD drive
Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Maximum:
4 GB of RAM (4 GB of Virtual Memory)
1 Physical CPU (With Hyper-threading 2 Virtual CPUs)
Recommended:
300 MHz CPU *

Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
The "x64 Edition" is not to be confused with the "64-bit Edition", as the latter was designed for IA-64 (Intel Itanium) processors. They both are commonly referred to as "64-bit Windows" by Microsoft due to their similarities from the developers' point of view.
Advisory Warning - Windows XP Professional x64 Edition cannot be successfully installed on x86 (32-bit) systems or 64-bit Intel Itanium-based systems. 32-bit device drivers are not supported on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.

Will windows 98 games work on Windows XP?
Asked by Wiki User
Most will, but Windows 2000 did not focus as heavily on backwards-compatibility as Windows XP does, and a few games may work improperly or require Administrator privileges.
How do you copy files using ommand prompt?
Asked by Wiki User
Depends on which operating system you are using and whether you want to copy more than one file.
In DOS/Windows command prompt "c:\copy xxxx /destination_folder/"
if more than one file you can use "c:\copy xxx.* /destination_folder/"
Xcopy has more options (verify, copy subdirectories ..) and is used "c:\xcopy xxx* /s /destination_folder/"
In Unix/Linux/OSX cp is the command for copying
as in "#darkstar$cp -R *.txt /destination_folder/"
cp has a lot more option than xcopy but you will need to type either "cp --help" or "man cp" to get the best of cp's actions.
How many primary partitions can be created on Windows 98?
Asked by Wiki User
Windows 98 uses FAT32 partitions. A FAT32 partition has a maximum theoretical size of 8 TB, but with 512-byte sectors found on most hard drives, you cannot have a FAT32 partition of more than 2 TB.
Also, Windows 98 does not support LBA48 addressing by default, though there is a patch available. Without both this patch and a BIOS capable of LBA48 addressing (all BIOS from 2002 and later can), you cannot access ANY part of the hard drive, be it partitioned or not, beyond 127 GB. So the largest practical partition size for any Windows 98-era computer is a 127 GB partition on a 127 GB hard drive. Anything larger than that is unusable.
How can you take everything off of an old computer and reinstall Windows 98?
Asked by Wiki User
You can take off applications that you want to keep but you must have a good means of storing that application like with a zip drive or flash USB storage device. Can I ask a question, what do you mean when you say "take everything off" in computer terms that means a "format" which means you will be formatting your hard drive which will remove EVERYTHING, I mean start you from the beginning. This means you will not have an operating system and will need to reinstall Windows to get back going, but be mindful, EVERYTHING you had on that computer will be erased.
LOTS Better Find yourself a "zero-fill" utility. There are plenty of free ones online; most of the major hard drive makers supply one with every drive they sell. The "zero-fill" utility should be on a bootable disk, be it a CD-ROM or a floppy, depending on your system. Run the "zero-fill" utility on your PC. Be patient! It takes time to write billions of zeroes! When the "zero-fill" utility is finished, your hard drive will be in the condition it enjoyed the day it left the factory.
To install Windows 98, you should have both an installation CD and a bootable floppy. If your system will boot from a CD (most will these days), you won't need the floppy. Insert the CD or floppy disk, turn the thing on, and you're off to the races.

What is the difference between manageable and unmanaged switches?
Asked by Wiki User
If you have a mnagable one you can change setting such as packet filtering, firewall, protocol filtering and so. If you have a unmanagable on you cannot change its settings. Usually managable switches are much more expensive than unmanagaable ones because of its flexibility.
Windows 2000 XP can support up to partitions on a hard drive?
Asked by Wiki User
You don't have to format or partition your hard drive as installations will do it for you during setup.
You can install windows 2000 and windows XP and have them both working on one partition without interfering with each other.
First you have to install win 2000, than install win XP "on top" of win 2000.
During installation of win XP ignore all cautions and warnings like "installing multiple operating systems on single partition is not recommended" and other warnings, just keep going, you will see "To continue setup using this partition press C". press C, next screen default is "Leave the current file system intact (no changes)" so agree to that.
After yellow download bar ends computer reboots, at this time during boot DO NOT press any key to boot from CD.
disregard warnings by ms "not supported" in following texts as it means "will work but don't ask us questions"

Beauty of having these two systems on one partition is that in case of problem with virus or if one system stops booting you can boot to the other system to access and save all your data. Smart people were doing it for years and not telling. Try it, you will like it. You can change booting order later, ask Google or MS, they know everything about computers and averything about you thanks to Bill Gates who sold our privacy on silver platter.
You must not install earlier system on top of later system on the same partition because you will get scramble eggs on your hard drive and you will have to start over.
