Name some operating systems other than Microsoft Windows?

Yes, IBM released OS2, I don't know if it still exists as a commercially viable product. Intel released iRMX which was an incredible "real time" operating system that was great for process control, but again I don't know if it's still available. QNX is an excellent operating system for distributed processing and is currently available. I'm sure there are may other operating systems that specialize in their own niche.

There are many operating systems beside the ones mentioned. Many are no longer marketed but may still be in use as the hardware is still working and doing its job.

Digital Equipment Corporation (now part of HP) used to sell the PDP-8 and PDP 12 (they ran tss-8, ps/8 and os/8), PDP-10 and PDP-20 (ran TOPS-10 and TOPS-20), PDP-11 (ran DOS-11, RT-11, RSTS). I believe the PDP-11 is still being used to manage some nuclear plants and there is much discussion as to whether they should leave it or switch to a modern system. They are also still selling (by another company) OpenVMS which used to run on VAX hardware, then ALPHA hardware and is now available on an Intel Itanium. The OpenVMS system is one of the first systems to actually be part of a network, and part of the internet when it was called arpanet. It also has the reputation of being one of the most secure systems around and the longest up time between software crashes.

IBM has their mainframe that first came out in the 1960's running a system called OS/360, then OS/370 and now called system Z. It is a popular secure workhorse at large banking and financial institutions. The mainframe also runs a version of linux. IBM also has the power systems which runs AIX (a version of the real unix), IBM i, and also a version of linux.

There are many other companies that are no longer around and their software systems have been abandoned or absorbed and incorporated into modern systems.

What is the name of the Windows NT2000XP boot loader program?

In order to answer the question, one would need to know for which operating system the "bootstrap loader" or boot loader is intended. There have been many boot loaders since electronic computers capable of running stored programs were first developed. Some of the earliest bootstrap loaders had no name at all; they were merely a list of steps one would execute to flip switches on the front panel of a computer to enter a rudimentary set of instructions that would allow the computer to finish loading its operating program from a paper tape reader or stack of punched cards.

One popular boot loader used with Linux systems today is called GRUB, which stands for "Grand Unified Boot Loader".

How do you fix your laptop if it wont let you log into your account?

The answer depends some on WHY your computer will not let you in. If you are just locked out because you entered your password wrong too many times or because you forgot your password, there are two possible solutions. The best is to go into an administrator account and reset the user account. If you do not have administrator rights on your computer, you will have to go to someone who does in order to do the reset. The alternative is to get some software that is designed to allow recovering or resetting passwords. Some good ones that you can get for free for Windows systems are:

  • Ophcrack - lets you crack the password - so if the password is secure, it may not be able to recover it
  • Offline NT Password & Registry Editor - this is a password reset only
  • PC Login Now - deletes deletes your password, allowing you to access Windows without a password, after which you can create a new one.
  • Kon-Boot - does both reset and possibly recovery of weaker passwords
  • Cain & Abel - password recovery - as long as your password can be cracked
  • LCP - another password recovery tool
  • John the Ripper - another password recovery tool

Apple includes a Reset Password utility on the Mac OS X Install DVD that shipped with the computer. You may also be able to do a reset on Mac OS 9 systems using the install disk for that OS.

I have also attached a link to an explanation of a way to reset the root password on a Linux system.

Is a corrupted executable file harmful to the computer?

An executable file is a stand-alone binary file, in windows the most common executable files are followed by the extension .exe. A corrupted executable file is a one of these stand-alone binaries that either has missing data or data formatted in such away that it cannot be interpreted by the computer. Most of the time these occur because of half downloads or missing data, but in rare occasions it can be caused by third party harmful applications that modify the binary data making it unreadable.

2 examples of way in which computer and people are effected when computer are hacked?

Depends on what kind of hacker you are. There are three types of hackers: white hat, grey hat and black hat.

White hat hackers are hackers you are given permission by people to test the security of their computer systems. For example, the government or some important business might hire a hacker to see how vulnerable their computers are. The hacker is given the permission to run some tests and that is all. These hackers know when to stop and NEVER do anything criminal at all.

Black hat hackers are the hackers who are malicious and evil. They are the people who write viruses and other types of malware to deliberately enter someone's computer system illegally and steal their confidential information like bank account information. Being a black hat hacker can get you into some serious trouble if you are caught. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act has the authority to prosecute black hat hackers and sentence them to prison. This act not only makes it a crime to attempt to hack into someone's computer without permission, but also to conspire to do so.

Grey hat hackers are a mixture of both a white and black hat hacker. Grey hats are generally good people, but they will also do bad things time to time. They are hired by people to test their computer systems, but will do malicious things to run tests like infecting the system with a virus or such. Sometimes they will deliberately leave the virus there on purpose just so they can monitor the computer even though the client hired them out of trust. Grey hat hackers can be prosecuted just like a black hat hacker.

Will Microsoft Office XP work with Microsoft Windows Vista?

Answer (maybe)

"Microsoft Office 2000, Microsoft Office XP, Microsoft Office 2003, and the 2007 Microsoft Office suites are all supported on Windows Vista."

...

"Because Office 2000 and Office XP are in Extended Support, there have been no fixes for issues that occur when these products are run on Windows Vista."

So...my interpretation is that you can get the usual security patches until the end of extended support (2011 for OXP). But if something breaks under Vista, you're out of luck.

There is a particular problem with Outlook XP under Vista (or Windows 7); because of changes in the Windows security system, Outlook XP is unable to save account passwords when running under Vista. So every time you run Outlook, you have to enter the account password.

AnswerYes. You can check the compatibility of any program with that of Windows Vista by finding the "Application Compatibilty Tool/Wizard" in the Microsoft web site.

I myself have Office XP Pro on my Vista machine. It should work fine. When it comes the version of Vista you have, it doesn't matter.

Yes it is compatiable and works fine. I use Office 2000

depends on the computer there is a vist upgrade advisor on the Microsoft webpage
