All four machines have windows xp home, one machine ‘server’ has data that must only be available with a password. When I share a folder in xp home, I don’t get the option to password protect it. What software can I use if I can’t use xp’s own built in fuctions?? Many thanks

This game is intended for windows 98/95 but I have windows xp. Can anyone give me a link where maybe I can get a patch for this game to not crash on my windows XP. Or can you tell me the name of the patch I can look it up myself.

Please no answers that my computer might need more resources/memory. It is new and has enough.

dell only covers hardware, so I can mess with my OS that I pay for it

My microphone (very cheap, its with a Logitech Webcam) for some reason will mute sound that comes from the speakers while it is recording. For example, if I had a song playing off my computer while my mic was recording, the mic’s output would sound watered down and muddy. Playing music from an external source (speakers, CD Players, etc) eliminates this watered-down recording, so it must be a conflict between some hardware, I would guess. This problem proves difficult for some important recording techniques, e.g. multitracking, imitating live recordings, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m running Windows XP Home, my mic is a Logitech Webcam (mic included, whatever you want to call a bundled mic), and my sound card is an ancient Creative Audio PCI card (I use it for the included MIDI port).

I need to install windows server 2003 on a computer that currently has windows XP installed on it. When I go to install windows server, an error message comes up saying that I can not upgrade from xp to server 2003. When I try to do a clean install, a blue screen error message comes up saying that a problem has occurced, the computer was shut dow to prevent damage to your computer. Any Ideas?

When starting up pc, as soon as I log on the blue screen appears and it starts dumping etc.. Where it says Stop: there are various numbers & letters but nothing specific. Am at work so unable to recall what they are exactly but it’s nothing I recognise like a prog’.
Can only get on to PC in safe mode, so unable to uninstall various programmes that may or may not be the cause. Have tried going back a restore point but it won’t do that either. This used to happen occasionally but it would always be ok on re-boot. Nothing new has been installed since Dec’ when I installed a Nokia cable thing to transfer music on to my phone. This is one of the prog’s that won’t uninstall in safe mode.
How do I access drivers and how do I know what the drivers are for and what to do with them….all while in safe mode?
Thanks in advance…

the computer says it cannot detect any hard disk. on the first part of installation it says press F6 to install Raid but it does’nt work.please help me.
