Which windows xp operating system is system is a 64-bit Os?
There are many advantages to using the Windows XP x 64 operating system for the professional computer user. The first and perhaps most exciting benefit is the speed of processing. Under 32-bit operating systems it could take hours for a three dimensional object to open in a computer assisted design program. Once open, the image could become impossible to manipulate. Under Windows XP x64 a new architecture and i/o efficiency means these same images can be modified without delay. This is also a boon to application developers since the operating system is capable of taking advantage of up to 128 gigabytes of physical memory, unable to be tapped by older systems.
Security is an issue in today’s computing world and this operating system improves ones protection from many worms and viruses. For example, buffer overflow can occur when an expected filename has too many characters, leading to overwrite of adjacent information. Malicious software can take advantage of this process and damage ones’ files. x 64 processes such information differently, adding a level of protection beyond malware software applications.
While 64 bit processing is the wave of the future, not all hardware and software is yet compatible with it. If one chooses to be an early adopter, one must be aware of some limitations. Some 32 bit applications will be compatible through Windows on Windows 64 which comes bundled with the operating system, not all third party software and hardware will still work. If 32 bit XP is already installed on a computer with a 64 bit processor, one will have to do a clean re-install of the new operating system and run the risk of losing some preference settings. Be sure to back up the previous system in case there is any unforeseen conflict.
Finally, Windows XP x64 is designed to take advantage of the most popular and reliable operating system Microsoft has published. Many professional users choose to stay with XP as other systems have been introduced and it seems to be a nod to them that XP is still supported and programmed for. Loyal XP users will find x 64 a logical and powerful extension of an old favorite.

If these fixes do not help you may have to take the computer to an expert.

What are the functions of registry?
The registry is a database of all configuration and operating information for the operating system. Warning: Editing the registry is considered to be a very dangerous process, and could (if done incorrectly) cause the operating system to fail and the computer to not start. Be very, very careful and follow Microsoft's recommendations for backing up and being able to restore the registry, and also to know exactly what you are doing. This is complicated by the fact that the registry editing tools do not give you a chance to confirm your actions - they happen immediately - so you get no second chances.

What is the difference between a boot partition and system partition?
Basically the system volume is required to start up, and the boot volume contains the OS.
From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314470:
The system volume refers to the disk volume that contains the hardware-specific files that are needed to start Windows, such as Ntldr, Boot.ini, and Ntdetect.com.
On computers that are running the Intel x86 line of CPU processors and later versions, the system volume must be a primary volume that is marked as active. This requirement can be fulfilled on any drive on the computer that the system BIOS searches when the operating system starts.
The system volume can be the same volume as the boot volume. However, this configuration is not required. The boot volume refers to the disk volume that contains the Windows operating system files and the supporting files. By default, the Windows operating system files are in the WINDOWS folder, and the supporting files are in the WINDOWS\System32 folder.
The boot volume can be the same volume as the system volume. However, this configuration is not required.
There is only one system volume. However, there is one boot volume for each operating system in a multiboot system."

How do you increase virtual memory?
If you want to increase virtual memory, you need to right click on "my computer" go to "properites" goto "Advanced System Settings" (or system or something like that), under performance, click on settings, go to the "advanced" tab and Click on "Change" under virtual memory.
Its generally a good idea to let the system decide how much you need, but if you feel like changing it, i recommend that you use double the ammount of system RAM you have for the minimum and half again that for the max. IE if you have 1gb of ram. Use 2gb for the min and 3 for the max.
