Can i change windows vista to xp?

Ok, I had Windows Vista for my laptop, but Im sick of using it, So is it okay if I upgrade XP from Vista, because my dad told me that if i change it it will lock the computer, but its all up to the Task manager so can you tell me how to change vista to Xp? Thanks!
Can i change windows vista to xp?
You need to do a clean installation of XP which will erase all of your data (or you could dual boot Vista and XP see the end of my answer)



I have done this on my laptop and it was VERY difficult but I got it to work.



Here is the list of XP hardware drivers that you need:



Motherboard chipset

Coprocessor

LAN

Video

WLAN (wireless)

MS UAA

Audio

Modem

Card Reader

Web Cam (if needed)



You may need Net.framework 2.0 to get some drivers to work.



Also some drivers may need to be manually installed as opposed to using the installer (exe).



It literally took me several days to get everything to work.



Good luck.



To dual boot read this:

Can i change windows vista to xp?
You would need to downgrade to XP, not upgrade. The Task Manager has nothing to do with downgrading.
you have to buy xp software

i personally like vista
You would have to completely wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows XP as your operating system. You would also need to have Windows XP drivers for all of your hardware.
depends on your computer. many that are coming out now adays are very difficult to go from vista to xp. research your computer on google and see what other people have done.
I know that you can buy XP and install it, instead of having Vista. As far as I know it won't lock the computer the only thing that will be different is that you have XP instead of Vista!
I hate vista and our computer has it, we were unable to but I think on some computers you can put XP on but you have to have the certain %26quot;drivers%26quot; for XP.
You would need to get an a copy of XP of somebody if you don't already have one, uninstall Vista and install XP.
What you want to do is completely stupid.Replace a brand new operating system with one that is dying? Why, because the start button on vista is round and it does not say %26quot;start%26quot;?Everything new takes time to get familiar with.
Format your hard drive and install XP like installing a new OS.



But I prefer Vista over XP anyday.

How to change my Windows XP SP2 sound theme to match Windows vista?

Ok After I download the Vista theme for my XP Pro, I soon discover that the sound didn't match the theme so whre can I download the sound themes for my XP Pro AKA (XP Vista)? By the way do you like my new windows name? I named it LOL!!!!
How to change my Windows XP SP2 sound theme to match Windows vista?
Maybe you reffer to sounds that are assigned to program events, aren't you?

Here's what I copied from Windows XP Help:





%26quot;To assign sounds to program events

Open Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel.

On the Sounds tab, in the Program events list, click the program event to which you want to assign a sound.

In the Sounds box, click the sound you want to play whenever the selected program event occurs.

If the sound you want to use is not listed, click Browse to search for it.

Notes



To open Sounds and Audio Devices, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.

To test a sound, in the Sounds box, click the sound you want to test, and then click Play sound . To stop the sound, click Stop . %26quot;



So, you can find ( for Windows XP ) the sound files used by default on the folder : c: \Windows\Media.

I think you can copy them from a computer with Windows XP and assign them to program events on your computer ( having Vista). I think it should work. It never crossed my mind to try because I didn't have such a problem or curiosity!

    How do I change my Windows XP Icons?

    Heya! I've downloaded some .ico files so I could personalize my computer. I dunno how to install them, though! Can anyone help? I've Windows XP.
    How do I change my Windows XP Icons?
    To change folder or shortcut icons:



    1. Right-click the shortcut/folder you are changing, click Properties, and then click Change Icon.

    2. Click the picture of the icon you would like the shortcut to use, click OK, and then click OK.



    If you want to change system icons such as the Recycle bin, it involves messing with system files which I don't think you want to do unless you are an advanced user.



    My advice would be to just get a program such as StyleXP or Stardock's IconPackager. These allow you to download pre-packaged icons and install them.



    If the icons that you have already downloaded are not packaged (meaning that you just have a folder or .zip of individual icons) then you could download Stardock's IconDeveloper, package your icons, save the package, then install the package with StarDock's IconPackager. This isn't a lot of work, but it does require a little patients. Took me an hour to package 2 sets of icons and install one of them.



    You should try Vista Transformation Pack 7.0. Makes Windows XP look like Vista (but better in my opinion)

    How do I change the Windows XP Home Welcome Screen screensaver?

    We have three different user accounts and each account is allowed to have a unique screensaver when logged on, so I know how to change the regular screensaver. But when nobody is logged on and the welcome screen is showing, a very generic screensaver will eventually appear. Anybody know how to change it?



    If you don't know exactly how to do this, PLEASE do not attempt to answer this question.
    How do I change the Windows XP Home Welcome Screen screensaver?
    It involves editing your registry, and you'll need to know the exact file name of the screensaver you want, and exactly where the file is.



    Here's detailed instructions from microsoft:



    1.Click Start, and then click Run.



    2.In the Open box, type regedt32, and then click OK.



    3.In the Registry Editor window, locate the following registry key: (remove the spaces between the backslashes, there, I had to add them in to get YAnswers to display this right)

    HKEY_USERS \ .DEFAULT \ Control Panel \ Desktop



    4.In the right pane, double-click SCRNSAVE.EXE.



    5.In the Edit String dialog box, type the name of the screen saver that you want in the Value data box, and then click OK. For example, if you want to use the Mystify screen saver as your logon screen saver, type ssmyst.scr.



    IMPORTANT: Make sure that you correctly specify the path to the screen saver. If the screen saver is located in %SystemRoot%\System32, the explicit path is not required.



    6.Click Exit on the File menu to quit Registry Editor.



    P.S. It's always a good idea to make a backup copy of your registry before you start editing it. Too easy to mess something up.
    How do I change the Windows XP Home Welcome Screen screensaver?
    i dont know.
    Go to your desktop....(The background starting screen) and right click. Then click the Screen saver tab and select one from a drop down menu. Click apply.



    YOU DO THE SAME THING! I know what I am talking about...I help our schools Techie.
    I don't know how! Sorry!
    from any user right click and go to properties and select desktop and change the wallpaper
    I don't know EXACTLY how to do it, but my guess is that it defaults to the Administrator's screensaver. When you're starting your computer up, hold shift to boot in safe mode. That should give you access to the Administrator log-in. Try changing the screensaver for that account.
    right click on the desktop-%26gt; screensaver-%26gt; choose None
    right

    click on properties
    on the screen u right click and select Properties. then when u get to the properties page, click the Desktop tab. then select which desktop theme u want.
    First, minimize all screens so that your desktop is all that you see. Next, right click anywhere on an empty space. A small screen thing should come up where you clicked. Now, click on properties. A pop-up should come up. Click on the screen saver tab. You may now choose which one you want from the available ones, or search the Internet for one.

    Hope this helps!
    I think Greenfang is right. It defaults to the Administator's screensaver. So log in to the Administrator's account and change the active screensaver there.
    you go to the start and go up to settings and click control panel. then when that comes up u click display. its like a little screen that has a paintbrush on it. then u click the screensaver tab and u pick what screensaver you want. u can even determind how long until it goes off!

    How can I change the Windows XP Splash Screen?
    You are right,8 years of the same screen are way too many! It is risky to do this manually so use a software .This is good and free http://www.stardock.com/products/bootski鈥?/a>

    Another option is get rid of XP and install Vista
    How can I change the Windows XP Splash Screen?
    Dear Jim,

    Please note that attempting to change your Windows XP Bootscreen can cause system instability if it's not properly done.

    I recommend downloading the free program %26quot;Bootskin%26quot;. Search it on Google. It is a free program that allows you to choose a boot screen or make your own. It does all the technical stuff for you, and you can convert it back to the default if you are unsatisfied.



    Hope this helps,

    How do I change my Windows xp LIP to English From Serbian (Latin)?
    You could try changing your language preferences. From the desktop with nothing else running, click start %26gt; control panel %26gt; internet options. On the general tab, click the languages button. You can then add other languages and move them up or down to 1st priority, 2nd priority, etc. This will let you view web pages in English if they've provided multiple language viewing.



    Or you could try start %26gt; control panel %26gt; regional and language.

    How to change the windows xp boot up screen with my own wallpaper?
    unless you're capable of decompiling *.exe files or you're a programmer it's just not going to happen without 3rd party software because the xp boot screen is hard coded into 'ntoskrnl.exe'.



    if you mess around with that file and screw it up you've a fair chance of also screwing up windows and needing to reinstall.

    Many have had success with installing a program called bootskin.exe this is a program that will change it for you. However, look at the forums on stardock.com before you install it. Many people like it but as with me there is a fairly common problem with windows XP users that it crashes windows. I had to format and reinstall windows after I installed it and lost all my files. The answer is don't mess with it because it is a very risky thing to try and change.

    Right click while on your desktop. Click on properties. Go to the desktop tab. You can select your desktop icon size and style.
    You would have to replace the icons with ones that match your background. You can do it, you have to create the image in an image edior - there are several free programs to create icons. Thoguh when you change your background it will mean having to change them, and these icons will also appear in other places such as windows explorer.
    is it under Control Panel %26gt; Folder Options or Display???
    open the taskmenue of your desktop and click on properties, then representation, and extended than choose the symbols from the list on the left.
    Right click on a empty spot on your toll bar(the blue bar at the bottom of your screen),,then click properties,,then click start menu,,then click customise,,,then clicksmall icons...click ok,,,click apply (dont forhet this step or nothing will change)..then click ok and it will all close and be changed...hope that helps.

    Can you change from Windows XP to Windows 7?

    I have a computer with Windows XP on it and I'm looking for an upgrade. Could I upgrade it to Windows 7? If so, how much would it cost and is it worth it? Thanks.
    Can you change from Windows XP to Windows 7?
    You can install 7 on a computer that runs XP, you can't upgrade. (You'll have to save all your files and restore them, and you'll have to reinstall all your programs.) It will cost anywhere from about $100 to $200, depending on the level you want, Basic, Ultimate or something between.



    Is it worth it? That depends on you - some people love 7, some hate it. If you play old games, you might hate it. If you like Rocket Doc you'll love it.
    Can you change from Windows XP to Windows 7?
    when you hit 24/7, your video games a least, u know tell me
    Well I am sure you can. Go to your local Windows Operating System Distributor like Best Buy or Wal Mart and see if they have an upgrade to Windows 7. But take my advice, Windows XP is the best operating system your gonna get for a while from Microsoft. They may never have such a good one again.

    This is the Windows Classic skins, Windows Xp blue, silver and green. And the media centre Edition skins, blue and 2 black variants.



    But to use themes not made by MS, you have to patch the %26quot;uxtheme.dll%26quot;. If you patch this file, you can use any theme you get from the net.



    However, this can cause system instability. (It wrecked my system a few years ago.) So make sure you keep a backup of the original uxtheme.dll file.



    You can patch the file by visiting either of these links:

    http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/04/windows鈥?/a>



    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVCp918EV鈥?/a>





    Then once this is done. You can use any theme by double clicking the theme file and then pressing the Apply or OK button.
    Step 1

    Go to the Control Panel from the Start menu.

    Step 2

    Select %26quot;Appearance and Personalization,%26quot; then go to %26quot;Personalization.%26quot;

    Step 3

    Select %26quot;Theme.%26quot; There are several themes to choose from. Select the one you want and click %26quot;OK.%26quot;

    Step 4

    Change your desktop's background image by right-clicking in an empty space on the desktop's background and click %26quot;Properties.%26quot;

    Step 5

    Select the tab that says %26quot;Desktop.%26quot;

    Step 6

    Choose an image from the drop-down list provided. There are a number of standard, default backgrounds provided.

    Step 7

    Choose an image stored on your computer as your background image by clicking %26quot;Browse.%26quot;

    Step 8

    Find the location of the image you wish to use and select the image. When you are done, press %26quot;OK%26quot; or %26quot;Apply%26quot; to see what it looks like first.

    How do i change my Windows XP taskbar?

    I want to change the color of my taskbar to black. I also want to change my start button into a different image.
    How do i change my Windows XP taskbar?
    ok.. There are many ways to do this.

    1) You can install a msstyle theme (mostly free)

    2) You can use something like WindowsBlinds (will cost you)

    3) Use a transformation pack. (Eg: Vista Tranfomation pack)

    4) Use Resource Hacker to edit or build a msstyle to create unique theme for urself



    A good msstyle for start is the Royale theme. Now also available Royale Remixed (my fav). http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44294818/



    Or goto www.wincuztomize.com where u can download theme software (WindowsBlinds) to get awesome looks. U'll have to pay for the full

    versions.



    Or u can download resource hacker and open a msstyles (even the default XP luna.msstyle file) from it and change the bitmaps to ur liking. U can edit everythin from this. Startmenu,taskbar,scrollbars and everything.

    But to apply the theme u have to patch a file in XP, so I advice you to insta the Royale theme or the Royale Remixed themes first coz it automatically patches this file which enables other themes to be installed.

    How do I change from windows xp to windows vista on my laptop?
    You should first make sure your PC can run Windows Vista.



    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows鈥?/a>



    Once your PC passes the test you want to back up your picture's, Documents and anything else you want. If possible make more that one backup. You can use DVDs or USBs or and other recordable media.



    This will show you step by step how to reinstall Windows Vista.

    How do I change from windows xp to windows vista on my laptop?
    To upgrade to Windows vista, just put the cd into your cd drive and the install program will pop up automatically. You will not lose your files if you upgade and do not clean install.
    First, make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements. You need at least 512mb of RAM and at least 1GHZ Processor and 20gb of hard drive space.



    You can check all this by clicking start and right click my computer and click properties.



    If you meet the requirements, buy a Windows Vista disk and turn on your computer and insert the disk.



    Run the disk and just click install. If you want to keep all your stuff, click upgrade when it asks whether you want to upgrade or do a clean install.
    All you need is to purchase an %26quot;upgrade%26quot; version. Then install it. you will not lose your data.
    First backup your files. Never risk loosing your personal data. You should always backup your info. But if you load the disk while you are still in Windows XP then it will simply upgrade you to Vista. But I stress again you must back up your info. It will not delete anything unless something goes wrong. Just start up windows as usual and once you get to your desktop put in the Vista CD and choose the Upgrade option.

    How do u change windows xp to small fonts?

    as currently it is set at normal and i cant find any other settings
    How do u change windows xp to small fonts?
    right click the screen and go into propertys easy from there
    How do u change windows xp to small fonts?
    Right click on the desktop, then go to properties, then apperance, and its the font size tab near the bottom.
    To change your Window fonts

    Open Display in Control Panel.

    On the Appearance tab, in Font size, click a new font size.

    Notes



    To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.

    This option enables you to enlarge the fonts used in window headers, icon labels, and menus. For information about enlarging all items on your screen, click Related Topics.

    The font size options are based on the current theme, visual style, and color scheme. For some themes, styles, or schemes, you may only have one font size option.
    If you have Windows XP, you can see fonts more clearly on your monitor if you turn on ClearType. ClearType is easy to apply and makes fonts look smoother. If you have a standard CRT monitor you'll see modest improvement, but the real advantage is apparent with color LCD flat screen monitors and LCD screens on mobile PCs like Tablet PCs and laptops.



    3 easy steps

    1.

    Right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose Properties from the menu.





    2.

    Click the Appearance tab, and then click the Effects button.





    3.

    Click the check box next to Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts. Click the down arrow and select ClearType from the list.



    Click OK, and then click OK again.





    That's all there is to making fonts appear more clearly on your monitor.





    ClearType simply manipulates the red, green, and blue sub-pixels used to create the fonts that appear on your screen, effectively raising the resolution. This makes text, especially small text, easier for the human eye to read on your screen.
    Right-click on blank screen, get Properties, under Appearance tab either select Font size or if you want click Advanced and go through each individual screen element and select an individual font size for it
    hi.

    click ,,,,start,,,,,settings.....control panel.....there find fonts folder....open it,,,,,,then change any font size,,,,,smaller number means smaller font size.

    try breaking the password. You can also use pc by starting it in safe mode.If you are using windows as an O/S then use the bootable live cd of any opensource O/S(ubantu) and use that O/S. by that you can access all documents stored in windows.

    How can i change windows vista to windows xp on my computer?

    It wont be easy. First thing you need to do is go to the manufacture site of your computer and see if there are XP drivers for your desktop computer, as most computers that come with Vista do not have the drivers that support XP.



    If the computer does have all the drivers to support XP, then you can go to the store or online and buy the windows XP software. You will have to format your computer, before you install XP onto the computer. Also be sure to backup any important data onto CD/DVD/Flash drives, as it will be lost.

    I have a new laptop, with Windows Vista pre-loaded. But I am familiar with Windows XP, and don't want to have to learn a new system. Could I load XP on the laptop, how difficult would it be, and are there any risks? I am not a very skilled computer user, and am afraid of messing up.
    Can I change Windows Vista to XP?
    best to get used to vista, it's very complex to change back.
    Can I change Windows Vista to XP?
    you will have a lot of problems this is from hp and most manufactures have the same please read

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu >
    you would have to reformat the computer's hard drive and then install windows XP.





    HOWEVER there will be major problems when attempting this. for one think windows XP can only support one processor, if your processor has more then one processor core, then the rest will be inactive. Also there many people why try to downgrade to xp, fail to check that there hardware has any xp drivers. If xp drivers existed for the laptop's hard-drive, then they would work. BUT if there are no xp drivers, then that hardware that the driver was for will not work.



    This problem is common epically for wireless network driver and some laptop-only hardware, I have seen many people who downgrade to xp lose support for wireless networking. Also seen people lose support for webcam and card readers. In some rare cases possibly the cd drive, sound card, and advance graphic abilities.



    Then there is the security, because windows didn't start introducing their security setting to default until vista came out, your computer will be much more vulnerable to virus attacks then vista ever was.
    Yes, it is possible, but I don't know why you would want to. Vista is really superior to XP, a
    (1) yes you can remove Vista and install XP. However your PC is licensed for Vista, so you'd need to buy an OEM copy of XP (if you can still get them...) to be legitimate.



    (2) How difficult? It's not very difficult, you format the disk in the PC and follow the instructions when you boot the XP CD. At fastest it's probably 2-4 hours work depending on your PC's speed and memory.



    (3) Are there any risks? Of course there are. Firstly, can you get XP legally at all? Secondly can you get XP drivers for all of the peripherals in your PC - for instance the video card driver, the sound card driver, the USB bridge driver etc etc. If you can't get a driver then you either lose access to a feature or can only use it at reduced capability. Thirdly, this is a destructive opertation. If you get it wrong you have wiped your new laptop out and have no OS on the laptop.



    So, in summary... it's fairly easy provided you check beforehand and get the drivers onto a CD disk or a USB stick drive. But if you're not confident there *is* a risk to the process. It's a lot less risk if you leave the Vista restore partitiion / restore CD available so you can always go back to Vista if it all goes horribly wrong.



    Alternatively, can you make vista look like XP? I have never used Vista, but I always make XP look like Win2k as it saves a lot of processing power.

    Is there anyway to change from Windows ME to Windows XP?

    i bought this computer, Emachines T3100, for 50bucks off some family who didnt know about computers and wanted to get rid of it. They only used it for Windows Media Player and some cheap games.

    I just took everything off and i saw it was ME, i was wondering if i can change it to XP and how?
    Is there anyway to change from Windows ME to Windows XP?
    Yes you can you buy windows xp and install it.
    Is there anyway to change from Windows ME to Windows XP?
    Yes, you can upgrade the computer to Windows XP. You will need to purchase an upgrade disc.
    OMG! I die for this **** 8P
    Don't think it would be worth your effort. Windows Me requires less than 2GB where as XP requires up to 15GB on your hard drive of which this old computer will not handle. The OS from ME to XP is totally different where as one runs on one partition while the other runs off of %26quot;two.%26quot; As much as some on here seem to think all you have to do it %26quot;load%26quot; it, it is not that SIMPLE.

    Dear Sir, I am willing to have windows Vista for my P.C.I have already installed Windows XP,Now can I upgrade XP to vista.How cost it will be.Can I do it myself,I am not a computer expert at all.Please advice me
    Can I change windows XP to windows vista?.where I have to contact ? At what cost?
    go to Microsoft and download %26quot;Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor%26quot;, once downloaded it will scan your computer and tell you if your system is Vista ready, this means that it will check everything that you have installed and let you know which version of Vista you can get, it will also tell you if you need to make any adjustments to your system before installing Vista. You can then go out and purchase a Vista upgrade and install it over XP, it is very straightforward. Some friendly advice, don't upgrade to Vista yet, leave it for maybe 6 months to a year, there are quite a few problems with Vista that are yet to be sorted. good luck.
    Can I change windows XP to windows vista?.where I have to contact ? At what cost?
    I think that it is better to buy Windows Vista Ultimate for Rs.17000 than upgrading from XP
    you can buy the upgrade pack at like ,target for 100$





    :D
    First you need to select which windows Vista version you would like, whether it be Home, Home Premium, Ultimate etc.. then you need to purchase an upgrade edition, ie Microsoft Windows Ultimate Upgrade, Run the CD/DVD and it will guide you throught the rest, check you local computer shop for prices
    Buy the disk and stick it in same as xp.
    Of course you can do it yourself. Just go out and buy %26quot;Windows Vista Premium Upgrade%26quot; at a computer/office store, put the disk in while running xp and enjoy. If you have any problems trying to install, just call up Microsoft and ask (your entitled to help with upgrade edition) or ask here. It will set you back $160 US.



    Oh, and you could also get Home Basic for less, but it isnt very good, or get Ultimate for more, but it is probably over-kill unless your a computer expert.
    Yes, you can upgrade it. You will have to buy a copy of the software, though. Walmart has it, along with most other places that sell computer and electronics like Target, Best Buy, etc. There are different ones that you can get. You can get the one that is just the basic Vista stuff or you can pay more and get the really fancy stuff if you do a lot more on your computer then surf the web. I might be wrong about this, but I think that the cheapest one is about $99.00, and the price goes up depending on which one that you get. I'm not sure what all is involved with installing it to your computer, but I'm sure that it is pretty simple. I'm guessing it is installed just like any other program. You will also be able to contact Microsoft if you have any problems or questions! hope this helps a little! :-)

    Well, since the XP partition is the primary partition on the drive, you would need to rebuild the boot record once you deleted the XP installation in order for windows 7 to still function.



    The easiest way would be to simply run a repair installation of windows 7 once the XP installation is deleted.

    How to change windows xp %26quot;start%26quot; button ? ?
    The mysterious Windows XP Start button…why is it there? How did it get it’s name? Why is it so green? But most asked question of all is “How can I screw it up?”. There are many articles on the internet about this, however many of them are incomplete, difficult or unsafe. You will now learn exactly how to change “start” to whatever you like and even change the picture next to it.







    1. Download Resource Hacker from http://grandfiles.com/programs/utilities…



    2. Locate explorer.exe in C:\WINDOWS. Copy the file and name it explorer1.exe.



    3. Run Resource Hacker. Select File, then Open, and select C:\WINDOWS\explorer1.exe.



    4. Expand the “String Table” menu, then select folder 37 and click on 1033. Change “start” to whatever you want. Click on the button labeled Compile Script. Try chaning it to “start” and see if anyone notices.



    5. Collapse the String Table folder and expand the Bitmap folder, then select folder 142 and right-click on 1033. Select “Replace Resource“, then click on “Open file with new bitmap“. Select a Bitmap picture (.bmp extension) with a size of 25 pixels by 20 pixels. Click the Replace button. if you would like to make a bitmap image with transparency, you will need an advanced icon making program such as Axialis IconWorkshop.



    6. Select File, then Save.



    7. Exit Resource Hacker and click on the start button and select “Run…“. Type in “regedit” without quotes.



    8. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi… NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.



    9. Double click on the Shell entry and input “Explorer1.exe” without quotes in “Value data“.



    10: Restart Windows. Tada! There you have it folks, the definitive way to change your start button easily and reasonably safely. To change the start button back to it’s normal self, simply Explorer.exe in the registy entry you changed. Have fun!

    if english is amongst the list, try clicking it and re-start your computer. if the language changed, then you don't have to install the english version of windows.

  • Cant change windows xp menu?

    So today I was browsing for new Skins for my computer. I came across some on Alienware which I liked. But it asked me to download there program first to get the free skins. This was all on Alienware.Com so I know it wasnt fake or viruses. So I downloaded it and I changed some skins. But For some reason everything changed except the MENU BAR? The menu bar that opens from START.



    So I deleted the program and completely got it out of my computer through control panel, etc. Then I went to change my menu bar to the newer style XP look, not the classic one. An it all changed to silver and the start button is green, but the menu bar is still not changing?



    The menu bar looks like the old windows classic, the only difference is, it says: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL running up the side of the bar (left side). An the bar has a strip of fading dark blue into black which is where the WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL is written in white on the strip.



    Any ideas how I can get the NEWER style back? Thanks!

    How can i change windows xp from korean to english language?

    Start --%26gt; Control Panel (looks like a clipboard with a pencil writing a checkmark) --%26gt; If necessary %26quot;switch to classic view%26quot; (this is only if you have 10 or fewer icons, it is on the top left, also looks like a clipboard with a pencil writing a checkmark)



    You should now have over 20 icons. Choose the one that looks like a globe (planet) called %26quot;Regional and Language Options%26quot;.



    It's in here somewhere. In english it's the second tab on the top %26quot;Languages%26quot;, then a button called %26quot;details%26quot; then a drop down where you can select the input language.

    You simply go to a website that you can download linux from. I would suggest ubuntu's website. Ubuntu is one of the easiest to use Linux distros. You then burn your download to a CD. Put the CD in your computer, restart computer, then Ubuntu Live CD will load. Then you have the option from the Live CD to install in to your computer, and it will take you through the steps, if you want to dual-boot and leave xp, or if you want to do a full installation, which removes everything on your hard drive. You could use the alternative install method, but I would recommend that you don't.

    I think this is likely the website..

    There are of course several ways to do this. One of the better ways (because it preserves your XP install) is by downloading Ubuntu Linux.



    Once you have downloaded it (google Ubuntu and download a desktop CD install), simply boot your PC from your CD-ROM. You can choose from several options, including running Ubuntu solely off the CD (no changes to your hard drive) and most importantly you can choose to install Ubuntu along side Windows XP and dual boot!



    If you have enough space on your hard drive Ubuntu will resize your Windows partition so that you have enough space to install Ubuntu. It will also setup a boot loader so you can choose which operating system you'd like to boot each time you start your PC.




    You cannot change your Windows XP to Linux, that is not possible.



    You can however have a dual boot system, Windows XP and some version of Linux. Yhere are many Linux based operating systems, so know which particular one you want before setting this up.



    Or, your other option is to delete Windows XP and run just Linux.



    Note: Linux is not as user friendly as Windows, but it is far more secure, in terms it is very hard for a hacker to hack your system, also virus, spyware and malware are almost nonexsistent.

    Also, the support base is better for Windows than Linux, but Linux is getting better over time, and when Vista was some many problems, support for Linux took a huge boost.
    ubuntu is good, but I've been having better luck with Slackware based distros.



    goto distrowatch.com they have a list of hundreds of active Linux distributions. I really like zen walk and puppy linux
