Windows xp clean and repair?

August 19, 2009

My computer isn’t running correctly. My floppy drive isn’t working, my installdriver isn’t working, I cannot install stuff because of the installdriver. I cannot get rid of items in my add/delete programs function. It just wont delete them. Is there anything I can do to help my computer such as a clean up tool (not defrag or disk cleanup) that I can either buy or download that will fix these windows problems?

I think my computer is messed up it runs really slow and it keeps asking to allow some bs it is driving me crazy I can’t do anything on it and when I want to leave a site it deletes everything and I have to start all over! My computer was in storage for 9 months and I think the heat messed it up so I would like to wipe it clean and start fresh I have the cd to reboot it but I don’t know how to do it I am not very computer friendly either!

Can I upgrade my windows xp home to pro without doing a clean install using a full xp pro cd?

August 17, 2009

I got an full version of xp professional from our University’s MSDAA (Microsoft Developers Academic Alience). I currently have xp home on my machine and I want to upgrade it to pro but I need to keep all my files and programs that are installed. I have many programs to which I no longer have the cd for and therefore I cant afford to lose them. This cd I got from the school is a full cd, not an upgrade cd. I popped it in and try to install it but i get an error message saying it couldnt install it due to a "third party kernell" being installed (the home edition kernell im assuming). So I tried booting from the cd and installing from there, but it didnt give me an option to upgrade. Instead I ended up with 2 versions of xp installed in my machine. Now when the pc starts, it asks me which OS i wanna load (pro or home). Again my question is, is there a way to just upgrade my home edition to pro using a full cd without losing anything? Thank you very much.
