Windows OS
After I reformatted my Presario Cq41 laptop there's a dialog box that keeps popping up.
I don't have any idea of what it is all about. I keep searching on the net and find no answer.
I really need help, it annoys me, every time I open my laptop it always appears.
I will list down all the things I've done to solve my problem

I recently installed windows vista on my laptop and used it for 2-3 months.
Now after experiencing a lot of bugs in the windows vista I want to install my old XP back but the problem is that I can’t.
When I insert my XP CD and try to install it the system says you already have the latest version installed. My friend told me to format my pc and then install it but that means re installing all my required software and also taking a huge back up.
Is there any easy way to get my XP back without formatting my computer.

I am using Windows 7 on a Dell laptop and recently my DVD drive has been giving me problems. It gives an error code saying, “Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)”. I tried updating the drivers, from the Dell website but still the device won't work.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers hoping for some change but none did. Some solutions are there on the Internet but all are for older operating systems and none for Windows 7.
Please help me out since I am helpless because of no solution on the Internet.

My Vista has suddenly started showing up, random command prompts at start up. By random I mean, they pop up simultaneously at start up blocking my taskbar. I try and end them via task manager, but the problem is that, whenever I restart my computer they start up again, which is annoying.
I have tried system restore and that worked for 2 restarts but after that the whole thing started up again. The command prompts have the name “consent.exe”. I tried scanning with my Kaspersky Antivirus, but it didn’t detect any virus. Urgent help needed in this issue as I can’t shut down my PC because of it.

I recently upgraded my Vista to Windows 7 and installed a new western digital hard drive. The guy at the shop transferred all my files into the new hard drive and also installed the new Windows. Everything was working fine there but when I reached home, my computer started hanging up after sometime. I checked the hard disk for any weird sounds but there were none. Can someone tell me; is there a problem with the Windows 7? Or is it a problem with my new hard disk? So I can change the damn thing and not risk losing my files.

Hello,
I have a question regarding Windows 7 remote access. Actually I bought a new 7800dc HP desktop, which comes with a Windows 7 update from Vista. Now before I had the Windows 7 installed on that PC I could connect to it from my laptop using remote desktop but now that I have installed Window 7.
I can’t do that. I tried searching for help in anyway to enable it but I can find an option there. Please I want to use my Windows 7, as it is much better than Vista. Is there anyway I can still keep Windows 7 and also have remote desktop facility.

Good Day everyone,
Today I tried to connect the internet to my laptop for the first time. But it gave me, limited or no connectivity error. I don’t understand what exactly is the problem. So I posted it here, to meet some experts, to get my problem solved. Since this is the first time I connected, I assure you that this is, somewhere toward the setting.

Hey guys,
I'm using Windows XP SP3 for about 2 years, then some of my friends used Windows 7. Now, I'm just curious if it's possible to have two operating systems to my computer at the same time. Do you think installing Windows 7 won't affect my old Operating system (Windows XP)? And also can anyone tell me how to install another operating system without losing my old files? Is there an advantage having two operating system? I'm Hoping to hear from your suggestion guys, so if ever possible I can start trying to install the Windows 7 immediately. Thanks much!!
