My brother gave me his old computer with Windows XP installed. He also gave me the OEM software on CD%26#039;s. I would like to remove him as owner/operator (?) and replace it with my name. Is this possible, and, if so, what is the best way to do it?|||go to control panel
click on user accounts
click change an account
Click his name
Change it to yours.
click change name
The liscences on the programs like office will show him registered as the user. The only way that I know of to remedy this is to
make sure you have the program disc and product key
Uninstall the program control panel%26gt;add/remove programs
re-install the program with your name....|||Check this link|||To do this, simply go to Control Panel and then User Accounts. Then create a new account. After you do this, and you log into your new account with administrative privileges, then you can delete his old account. You cannot delete the Only account with Administrative privileges.|||It certainly is. Just go to
START | SETTINGS | CONTROL PANEL | ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS | COMPUTER MANAGEMENT | LOCAL USERS AND GROUPS. There, you can delete his account or just change yours to an Administor. Or both.|||idk haha|||Everyone except %26quot;mrresearc...%26quot; have misunderstood your question.
Follow these steps (be careful in the registry .. create a new system restore point first ... just in case)
Use the %26quot;regedit%26quot; program.
Go to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\鈥?NT\CurrentVersion
Modify the strings values of %26#039;RegisteredOwner%26#039; and %26#039;RegisteredOrganization%26#039; to whatever you like.
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
RegisteredOwner REG_SZ %26quot;Your Brother%26quot;
RegisteredOrganization REG_SZ %26quot;Your Brother Inc.%26quot;

How to change windows vista to windows xp?
I bought a new computer and it came with windows vista which really sucks and I wanted to know if there is anyway I could change it to windows xp.I perfer windows xp so much more.Anyone?Please help.Thanks!|||First, there is nothing wrong with Vista. I am running it and have been running it for about 7 months with out any problems. You should really learn to use it because it is the operating system of the future. It won%26#039;t be all that long before Microsoft no longer supports XP.
But if you must go backwards remember that you will need all of the drivers ans software that came with your new machine so that it will run properly after you install XP. If this info in on a partition on your hard drive, then you will need to back it up and hope that there is a section that you can use to reinstall the drivers. You will need drivers for the sound, the PCI buss bridge, the video, and any other hardware that came with your machine.
Before you can install XP you will need to remove all evidence of Vista. The best way to to this is to use the %26quot;fdisk%26quot; feature that is contained on a old Win98 boot disk. After you have removed the Vista partition, you will be able to create a partition and format it to NTFS buy using your XP installation CD.
One more note on Vista. In the 7 months that I have used it I have had %26quot;NO%26quot; freeze up, blue screens, or any other problems. It is fast, secure , and very stable. I really do suggest that you learn to use it.|||This becomes a little difficult because if your new machine is like the one my wife has it has a partition for software. If you have these on CD then great. All you have to do is just FDISK the HD. Be careful because this will delete all data. Then with your XP CD reload the OS back onto the machine. Hopefully your CD%26#039;s will re-load the software back on. Just be sure though or go through the manufacturer and see if they have anything as well.|||If you have the Windows XP disc, hopefully the full version, put it in the cdrom and have it boot up from the cdrom and Windows XP boot screen should load, have it format the partion Vista is on and install from there.

How to change Windows XP monitor refresh rate outside of Windows?
My windows XP refresh rate is set high and the new monitor I plugged in doesn%26#039;t support it, so I can%26#039;t get into winXP and change it to something lower.

This seems ridiculous to me...|||This has happend to me tons of time, what I do is to memorize keybord keys in order to lower resolution because is easier than changing screen refresh rate.
What I usually do is:
1. Restart in safe mode
2. Write down the keyboard keys to lower resolution once there. ie.
a) Win + D %26lt;- To clean anything on the screen which could steal my right click
b) Right click on desktop %26lt;- A menu appears
c) Up arrow key pressed then enter %26lt;- As the fist item is selected up key will lead you to the last one, the properties option
d) Shitf + TAB %26lt;- It%26#039;ll select the first tab
e) Right arrow click 4 times %26lt;- Will select Settings
f) TAB pressed 3 times %26lt;- Resolution scroll will be selected
g) Left arrow pressed down till you get tired.
The last step will lower your screen resolution, then just press enter and done.
Very dissapointing but works. Keyboard doesn%26#039;t need an exact clicking point.

When you get to a choose you installation, choose Upgrade.|||You need a computer that will support Vista and you need a Vista installation disk.|||Well, if you want both operating system, go and buy Vista and install it on ur PC on a different partition than XP, and then get VISTAbootpro 3 in order to be able to boot into either one at startup.
Or, if u only want Vista, just go buy it and install it over XP (format the drive)
OR, if u want XP to look and feel like Vista, you can get WindowBlinds 6, or Vista Transformation Pack.|||i think u have to buy a computer that already has vista|||The easiest way is to wait until you need to replace your computer, and buy one with vista on it. It%26#039;s cheaper that way and someone else will have made sure everything works with vista.
Failing that, when you put a vista disk in the drive it will tell you what to do. You have a choice of installing vista over xp - so you don%26#039;t lose any files or settings - or installing vista from scratch, which means backing up your files and putting them back afterwards. It takes a few hours but you don%26#039;t have to watch it.
I%26#039;ve just upgraded an xp desktop to vista - I had to replace the network card and the graphics and sound only worked after I upgraded to new drivers. I%26#039;m still having problems with the network, but other than that it%26#039;s working fine.|||Its quite simple. I didn%26#039;t use any transformation packs, but I spent my time finding effects, ect. .

From there, you can buy an upgrade version for under $100 on Amazon.com.
My advice, however -- and I speak as a Windows Vista user -- is to NOT do this.

Vista itself is extremely buggy (the search function, for instance, is far inferior to windows XP. You can find files with XP in five seconds. The same file can%26#039;t be found at ALL with Vista)...
Windows Vista is quite possibly the worst version that Microsoft has ever put out -- even surpassing Windows ME as the biggest piece of junk that ever came down the pike.

How do you change Windows XP's appearance back into the original appearance after you changed it?
I changed the appearance of Windows, but I want to change it back. Please tell me the start fonts and sizes.|||Right click on the Desktop, and click Properties. The first tab that you get says Themes, click on the combo box, and choose Windows XP, it will restore the whole XP look to its original look.|||Run System Recovery.|||Right click on the desktop and select the Windows XP theme|||size just depends on screen size, you have to know the resolution. but here are the fonts, i don%26#039;t know what for though:
Microsoft Sans Serif
Trebuchet MS
Tahoma|||press right click then go to properties then go to appearance
and there you are|||Start %26gt; Taskbar and Start Menu Properties %26gt; Start Menu
or
Start %26gt; Setting %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Display %26gt; you can play around to see what is your favorite|||Hei, the step by step solution is just retracing your earlier steps.
Right click on the desktop (no icons no nothing, right on the background)
Select Properties.
Go to Themes (first tab).
Select Windows XP. It should revert you to the initial Luna interface which is blue and ugly after me.
Is you saved your current theme you can go back to it instantly.
If you have a good computer that can deal with some graphic intensive RAM eating themes I would recomend Stardock%26#039;s %26quot;customizing%26quot; applications. www.stardock.com
These are also free but the paid versions are lots better.
And of course you can always manage your appearance, like font size, window colors, and stuff like that from the Appearance tab.
Enjoy your tinkering.
