Windows XP questions

ahearnb

1. What program do you guys use to view pictures? What I want is VERY simple. I want the image to show up AT FULL SIZE and preferably with the window maximized. 2. When I put my mouse pointer over a picture, this little box pops up with options - save, print, email, open.

Fresh install with an XP upgrade?

lsmeg

One thing I've been wondering, if I buy one of the XP upgrades, can I do a fresh install, or do I have to have 98/2k installed already and do an upgrade? If I remember correctly (and I might not ) the Win95 upgrade disc could not be used to do a fresh install, only an upgrade from 3.

Updater

HwoodCats

I have been using Windows Update, Office Update and norton live update but what I haven't been able to find is something that will scan my hardware and tell me if there are updates available. Does that even exist? That would be so much easier and faster.

Install an app as a service?

jonny_boy

I recall reading something about the possibility of installing an application as a service in Windows XP? Anyone know how this is done? Specifically, I use my own smtp server for mail sending and it currently loads at startup and runs all the time sending mail as I write it.
