Yet another reason to NOT like XP.

Catdog02

Cutting a long story short. Since Kodak image viewer wasn't included in WinXP, my users have been forced to use Image and Fax Viewer for a. tiff file that gets sent around our network weekly.

Windows XP taking over my pc

HawkBoy

Hi, I'm considering buying win XP. I currently have 3 hard drives installed, 2 of which are running win2k. I would like to keep these running win2k and have winXP on the third for a while to make transition easier (I don't want to loose all my programs).

New hard disk... suggestions?

GTwannabe

My 30gig 7200rpm maxtor drive is having issues; every so often, it will hang with no disk activity with the HD access led lit as W2k loads tasbar items. It trashed my FAT32 filesystem and installation last year.

wileyc1967

I have been installing a lot of apps in a mixed NT4 and W2k environment. The problem is that some of these applicaitons require administrator access, and even when I give the user local admin rights, the apps still won't install.

I have a problem...

Admiral LSD

Through a massive cock-up with Partition Magic my main NTFS partition was rendered unbootable. Thinking only the partition table was screwed I attempted to repair it using the linux fdisk program booted using the tomsrtbt disk (something I've done several times before with no ill-effects.

XP page file: Should I set it permanently?

markjs

I remember reading that for best performance in Win 98 I should make the page file a set number about 2. 5 times the amount of RAM. Does this work in XP? Is there any advantage in it?.
