Windows XP

fat stands for "file allocation table"

it is a table that basically reads like an address book of sectors on a hard disk, so that data can be written to and read from using its address space. Was quite waseful of space as hard drives got larger so NTFS was introduced to compensate for increased disk size and journaling (recovery)

"Cold boot" means that the computer must be turned off then when it is turned back on it will "cold boot". A computer can reboot without turning off the power but some internal devices do not reset if the power does not go off. "Cold boot" forces everything to be restarted fresh.

Windows Me is older than Windows XP. Windows Me was launched on September 14, 2000 while Windows XP was released on October 25, 2001.

the system creates restore points when it is running at its peak. restore points by user should be created before deleting or adding new software or changes to operating system. this way you can restore to old settings if conflicts exist when changes take place.

To bypass Windows Vista Activation, first select the option of 'Access your computer with reduced functionality' then on the Internet Explorer browser, select 'File', 'Open' and then type on the URL C:WindowsExplorer.exe and click 'OK'.

• A design. The term architecture can refer to either hardware or software, or to a combination of hardware and software. The architecture of a system always defines its broad outlines, and may define precise mechanisms as well.
• An open architecture allows the system to be connected easily to devices and programs made by other manufacturers. Open architectures use off-the-shelf components and conform to approved standards. A system with a closed architecture, on the other hand, is one whose design is proprietary, making it difficult to connect the system to other systems.

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click notepad, put your cursor over 'send to', and select 'send to desktop'. That will place a short-cut on the desktop (your notepad program stays where it is). This instruction works for any program.

Most computers will 'auto-detect' a printer when it's plugged into a USB port. Windows software includes drivers for most printers, and will install the correct driver for the printer it detects. If it doesn't find a relevant driver - it will ask for an installation disk.

Well... kind of.

Getting a PC to shut down at a specific time is not all that hard. Getting it to start at a given time is more complicated, since if it's off it can't be running the program to tell it to start. However, some PCs do have a feature that allows them to go into a "sleep" mode and "wake" when they receive a specific signal.

There are also "nannyware" programs that can be used to restrict computer use to specific time periods, outside of which the computer cannot be used without supplying an override password (it's still ON, you just can't use it to DO anything). I've never personally used one, so I can't vouch for how well they work, but I know they exist.

It depends on what the computer is being used for. For general typing of letters of essays, "Space" or "e" are probably the most used. For a gaming computer "w" (walking forward in most games) is often the most used key by a large margin, followed by "a", "s", and "d" (left, backwards, and right is the WASD control setup). Computers that run other specific programs a lot might have another key, such as "Enter" that is used the most because it is associated with a specific function.

No. You can't make a speech bubble (quote box) on Windows Movie Maker. Other purchased video editing software programs offer these 'decor' type of options, but not Windows Movie Maker.

Hi, Quicken 2002 seems to run on Windows 7 (build 7100) BUT at the moment I'm struggling with some subtlties of marking items for inclusion in custom reports -Angus (am <at> angusmacaskill <dot> com)

The best way is to use partition manager like Cute Partition Manager (which is a free program) to create 2 separate sections of hard drive then install windows 2003 then reboot and install windows xp. when xp asks where you want it to be placed it will show an empty drive select that partition and install it there. After this is done you will see a screen when you start your computer that will ask you to select the operating system you want to load xp or 2003

Answer: First you boot with win xp CD and create two partition. then install win xp first in C: drive. after compleet instalation xp. then insert win 2003 disk when automatic boot with disk. select new oprating systems. after that follow screen instruction.

You have to get to the BIOS to do that.Here is how to get to the BIOS and get your Computer to boot into the CD:

To enter the BIOS is very simple. As soon as you boot up your system rapidly hit the Del or Delete button on your keyboard, and if that doesn't work reboot your computer and this time hit rapidly the F2 Key (At the top) and if that doesn't work reboot again and rapidly hit the F10 Key.

After you get to the BIOS go to "BOOT" and make sure that the CD Drive is at the top, and to do that go down to the top option then hit enter then select the CD Drive.

Also make sure the boot order is like this:

1.CD Drive2.Floppy Drive3.Hard Disk Drive

Then go to the top and go to the right until you get to "EXIT" then go down until you get to Exit (Save Changes) or Save Changes and Exit.Reboot with the CD in the Drive and it should automaticly boot to the CD.

I hope this helped,PSPSlimBoy ☺ :)
