Q. I have a Windows XP computer and I'm planning to buy a Windows Vista laptop. I'm afraid the two might have incompatibility issues when transferring files and documents between the two.
A. Shouldn't be any problem at all. They both use the same types of files.
To be more precise, windows vista and windows xp does not create or generate the data. The programs that run on those operating systems create the files and data contained in them. So, a word document can be seen on both machines. Pictures created by MS paint use the same file formats.
If you have program that creates its own specific files, and that program is not on the new machine, you could have a problem opening it.
Example: If you have Microsoft Office on the XP machine, and you create a spreadsheet file. You will need to have a program on the vista machine that will also open that spreadsheet file also.
Hope that clears things up.

How do you install windows xp prof with your cd but use the code on someone elses computer?
Q. Installed windows xp and it wont take the code on the computer I don't have the xp prof code for the cd I'm using as its only for troubleshooting and reinstalling.
A. It doesn't have to be the specific code for that particular CD. The install CD version just needs to match the key.
If the key's Windows XP Pro OEM - general distribution edition (the version most commonly distributed to independent computer shops) you need a Windows XP Pro OEM - general distribution disc.
If the key's for the WinXP Pro Retail boxed edition, you need to have the disc for the Pro full retail box version.
If the key's for the WinXP Pro Retail Upgrade edition, you need to use the disc for the Pro retail upgrade.
If it's a branded WinXP OEM edition (example, from an HP, Compaq or Dell), you'll need to use the restore disc from the company that made the computer and any support files that are needed by it. The general OEM edition won't work.

Same goes for all the various Home edition discs and keys, your key needs to match the disc version, but they're not uniquely keyed to specific discs. I'm guessing the problem is that the key on your friend's machine doesn't match your install disc.

How to decrease windows xp boot time screen?
Q. I have windows xp professional installed on my computer and every time when I start my computer, I have to wait for long time to computer to start up.
The windows xp black boot screen is too much delaying, the blue bar below its logo is passing around 10-15 times each time.
Is there a way to decrease its delaying? I mean to decrease that blue bar's passing time to 2 or 3 times only?
Thanks a bunch!

A. Remove old programs. Over time, we have a tendency to accumulate programs that we don't need or use. So get rid of them. To delete programs go to the "Start" menu, click on the "Control Panel," select "Add or Remove Programs" and one by one remove any programs you no longer need. Be careful to delete only programs with which you are familiar. If you are unsure of what a program is, or if it is significant to your operating system please do some research online or consult an expert before you delete it.
Step
2
Switch your operating system. Certain operating systems take longer to boot. For example, Windows Vista takes longer than Windows XP to boot up.
Step
3
Remove programs from your systems tray. Your systems tray is the, usually blue, bar across the bottom of your screen. In the right corner you'll notice a plethora of icons representing programs that you have on your computer. Every time you restart your computer, your system tray initiates these programs. Some of them aren't necessary. For example, you may have extras like Google or Yahoo! Messenger whose icons are in your systems tray. To stop programs from being initiated every time you reboot go to the "Start" menu, select "Run," type in the word "msconfig" and press "OK," click the "Startup" tab and deselect programs that you wish to keep from starting up when you reboot.
Step
4
Update your anti-virus software. Outdated anti-virus software can miss new viruses that may get downloaded to your system. These viruses can cause your system to boot slowly.
Step
5
