I was wondering why when I put the Windows XP installation disk into my
Compaq Evo N800c I get the message that tells me it can not proceed because
Vista is installed on it.

In order to install my LEGAL Vista OS, I had to increase RAM from 256MB
(which was in the computer when I purchased it) to 1GB. Then I was successful
in installing Vista, no problems.

But can anyone tell me how to either re-install XP, or make my computer able
to run both XP and Vista (Dual Booting, I think it's referred to as).

I want to know too, if it is possible to make a backup copy of the OS
installation disk for future use if the need arises.

For several years, I have a Canon scanner and printer installed. Both work
fine. However, some of the image editors could not "find" this scanner on my
system. In Device Manager, under the Imaging Devices only Logitech Cam is
listed. Under ports - Communication port (com1) and ECP Printer Port (LPT1)
are listed. There is no question mark or warning anywhere.
May someone please tell me how to make this scanner "visible" for all
imaging programs.

hello everyone. i need your help. i just had a new operating system
installed...xp pro. my windows now look very ugly. there is a white
background on all the windows i open...almost all the writing is in blue...it
just looks really ugly and generic. i cant seem to figure out how to adjust
the look. all of my websites come up with this look and, it seems that all
the verbage seems to drop off in the middle of a sentence. i know the fix is
easy but i'm a little frustrated right now to figure it out. please help if
you can.

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 and run XP SP2. I wanted to have a safe
browser now that MS is shutting down XP support and got both Opera and
Firefox, and I like to use the LiveOne Scanner also. I should say
this is the "on-demand-internet scanner", not the whole OneCare
Security suite.
I find that the scanner does not like Opera and Firefox and
states it is not supported by these browsers. Is this normal, or a
bug? Is LiveOne Scanner supported by any other browser than buggy
old IE?
Thanks and best!
