Windows XP Login/Logoff Error, and Win 98

kinipela21
Hi, Ok so I got a virus on the computer and since the antivirus tried to clean it up my XP has now started doing this odd thing in both safe and normal mode. It will login and start fine as soon as it gets to the desktop it logs out.

janfebmar
Ok. Im not the best Windows user in the world, but how come all of a sudden Windows shows that I have used about 48Gb more than I really have? Come on! What is the biggie! I really need to boost the space up again so that I can use my Western Digital Raptor Disk for demanding apps.

Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 2000

DosFreak
Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 2000 The Virtual PC 2007 installer does not allow VPC 2007 to be installed on Windows 2000. Just like Windows Defender the fix is simple. You simply have to remove the limitation from the installer.
