In which case you need to borrow a copy of XP. With XP you just chuck it in and hit restart and will ask you if you wish to install. When it asks for you code put in yours. You need to make sure that the XP version is the same as yours, i.e. XP Prop or Home Edition as your code will only work for the same version.

You will then need to use the Time disk to update the drivers.

Cheers Doc...in the mean time,if anyone can do me a copy of Windows XP,i'd be grateful,i'll pay the costs involved. Rick.

I can't get Safari to work with Terminal. Firefox works OK, Netscape does not work either.
Using G5, Tiger and Safari 2.0.1.

spacemoggy,

Entering a different CD Key to the one on the CD as ADAM suggests can lead to subsequent problems installing service packs. You're probably better off using the same CD Key as on the installation CD and then cracking the WPA and WGA. You can buy WPA cracks on eBay for 1 or 2.

Hilary thanks,i deal in shares,not cracking windows codes.I've found someone to sell me a Windows XP pro cd with key,so fingers crossed.Thanks to all though.Rick.

:-(

Careful, pussycat.

What are the advantages/features of XP Pro as opposed to the Home edition please?

Windows XP Comparison Guide

Here's another, perhaps better, comparison site:

Got a problem. Remember I know little about computers!

I'm with AOL. I have two computers, and a router. At first they worked fine - always on. Now neither computer will allow me to connect to broadband unless I'm logged on to aol. Since I can't log on to aol on both computers at the same time I can't have them both on the net together. I used to be able to do it, though. I need cmc on the spare, because it slows everything up.

AOL are no use - they say they can provide full support information on only a few routers and my model, a D-Link, is not one of them. It's obviously aol doing something, though. I want to change ISP at the next opportunity, though my computer man has aol, and the same router, and has no problems.

AOL are also very expensive.

Sounds to me like your router has been reset. You might need to renter you AOL log in details into the router again.

Usually to do this the router guide will give you an IP address to access the router such as 190.0.0.0 then you can enter the log in and password and make sure you save it.

XP Home v Pro: Thanks Doc.

I cannot access the internet on my laptop following an upgrade to the antispam 2005 version. The download obviously failed as I get messages saying pages are missing The help provided via Norton's site always assume I have internet connection. I can't get all the Norton off my computer using add/remove programmes and need a download from Norton. Anyone any ideas how I could get the internet connection working?

When you click on Internet Explorer, what page is it trying to open, your home page?

I am trying to log on to AOL, it comes up with a message saying it has detected a firewall. When I use internet explorer it just says timed out, thanks

You may need to associate your firewall with AOL.

In the address bar of the Internet Explorer window does it say anything? I am trying to establish whether Norton is trying to connect to their web site or not.

Also can you get the Norton software up and running at all?
