I am the admin... The root admin for that matter...
Its weird becuse if i save the install file somewhere then click run as - owner (which is the account I'm using to begin with) it works... is there way to fix that since theres no need for that crap...

Apply changes to this folder, sub-folders and files
Then wait 9000 hours for it to actually do that.

So if i did use it windows updates would be able to instal all the drivers i need?
-
You'll be fine if its xp should have 2 cds i believe one is the installation of windows and the other is drivers. Or at least that's how my old xp was. do the installation disc first then the driver disk. that is if you're wanting to restore your pc and erase everything.

yarly, you would need your montiors drivers & your gfx card drivers seperately though

Yea you gotta do all the security updates that were released before sp3, then you gotta install sp3, then all the updates for sp3
Updates first, Old files second, Programs third
(Install new versions of your old programs not old ones, Registry will need to be added lol)
-
Just install Windows 7 lol much easier, better and faster, and looks better too =O

(unless theres a way to move that shit over without having to delete the instal files LOL)
So i should be done coping my files in about 8 hours :(
Just install Windows 7 lol much easier, better and faster, and looks better too =O
Hmm how about no? I like xp... if i could I'd go back to windows 98 never had a problem in my life with that OS (sadly it just runs slow)

But windows 7 looks 10x times better, it's 10x times faster, has more cool options, it has DirectX11, I liked XP until I saw W7.
-
W7 = vista mixed xp. I have 1 pc w7 one xp and 2 vista lol.
-
i think I'm i finished tring to get every file i want to move over... I'm just scared to do a reinstal and not be able to get it to work and fuck this computer up even more.... :( so i'm still being sketchy on restarting and popping in the old xp cd :( Lol
-
I think you could just download the latest version of xp installation cd online in iso and burn it to a blank cd so you can skip all the updates lol. and umm I would help but I'm more visual when it comes 2 solving problems.
-
ok i renistal bu8t have a new problem it can't connect to the internet!
I need help asap to fix this :(
