in winxp use Microsoft official XP release, it is estimated that there are many people who install this system. XP's technical articles have also begun to increase, but use XP to be careful about the "taboos" mentioned below. If you don't pay attention, it will make your system unstable or troublesome, but it may damage your hardware. !
a bogey virtual drive
now most of the virtual drive in XP is unstable, prone to crashes XP, because the software is different from the virtual drive: it through special mechanisms, I fooled Windows in the "Device Manager" and let Windows think that the physical drive was added. XP only designed the driver to restore the hardware. I didn't expect to "restore/delete" the hardware itself. Because XP is specially optimized for NTFS and network, and most virtual CD-ROMs are developed under the FAT32 environment. Currently, there are few virtual CD-ROM softwares that are compatible with XP. If you have to install them, you have to endure several crashes. Come slowly and try which one is stable, and XP may crash if you don't.
Special reminder is that even if you find a stable virtual drive software, if you virtualize more than 4 physical drive, it may trigger the XP activation check mechanism, request You activate XP again - because Microsoft thinks that you have changed the four hardware is probably a machine change, so it is recommended that you do not install a virtual CD drive. If you really want to use a virtual optical drive, it is better to use multiple operating systems. It is better to use the 98 inside. It seems that only developers who write virtual CD-ROM software can write a new version that can run stably without causing activation, so that everyone can really use the virtual drive.
Second, avoid invalid
XP there is a matching test and activation mechanism of said test period
said period. If your motherboard's CMOS battery is powered down, or if you misuse it or use other software that restricts the flood season, the flood season becomes an invalid period in 1999 (you have not developed XP in 1999), then XP will be The system is locked at the "Welcome" text after initializing the graphical interface, and there are no prompts and options, just like the crash of the mouse. If you don't pay attention to the impact of the flood season, no matter what operation you can't fix XP, the author has eaten the loss and reloaded XP, and later discovered the real reason - so be careful when you start XP. After entering XP, it is ok to change the period.
three bogey outside the cat did not open the power
XP is for ISDN and broadband network design optimization, for the MODEM is Not so "care". Many cats do not have proper drivers in XP. They can only be replaced by FOR2000 or NT drivers, and there are often abnormal dialing problems. Especially a lot of foreign cats, if you do not turn on the power of MODEM when you start XP, you will not find the hardware after entering the graphical interface and then open XP. You need to refresh the scanning hardware or restart XP again in the device manager. Trouble - some people don't know why, don't restart XP, but constantly download different versions of the program update, restore driver may cause the entire system to crash, so friends with foreign cats please pay attention: remember to open you before entering XP MODEM power supply. //This article from the application of computer hardware and software network www.45it.com
Fourth, the lack of knowledge of security novice avoid opening the default sharing and remote assistance
< BR> XP is part of the Microsoft .NET strategy. By default, many network features are turned on. For example, share your drive, remotely solve Windows operation problems through the network, and so on. These network functions may be very convenient for people who know how to do it, but for beginners who don't have enough knowledge about network security, there is a certain danger, because sharing the drive and allowing remote assistance is the need to open the port of your computer and open certain permissions. Although XP has its own firewall, if you encounter a clever virus or a malicious hacker, these services may also expose you to data loss or compromise. People who are not familiar with network security knowledge are advised to turn off the sharing and remote assistance functions if they do not need to access the LAN (you need to turn off the server service in the management tool).
V. bogey and then installed XP installed on the same partition Windows9X
XP is NT architecture development, but the default file directory is not placed WINNT, you install XP on a partition in Also named as the Windows directory. If you install XP98 in the same partition after installing XP, not only may destroy the boot menu of multiple operating systems, but also because the 98 installer overwrites the file to destroy XP system, because 9X default installation path is also Windows. . Therefore, it is recommended that you still have a separate partition for each operating system, and pay attention to installing a low-level version of the window, and then install XP, so as not to use the installer to repair the multi-boot menu.

six bogey on the support ACPI bad machine supports ACPI bad with XP's standby or hibernation
machinery, mainly power supply and motherboard, then if you use hibernation Or the standby function, after the recovery, the sound card may sound abnormally, with a lot of humming noise; in addition, because the standby and hibernation are to shut down the hard disk, but in the system with poor ACPI support, the hard disk is turned off. The power is not cut off, or even the hard disk is not completely closed. It may take a few seconds for the hard disk to automatically turn on again, so that the magnetic head will be greatly affected by the current without being reset in a short time, and the life of the hard disk will be greatly affected. I suggest you find that your XP system standby or hibernation function has a BUG, it is best to change a good power or a good motherboard, if you do not intend to replace, it is best not to use XP standby and hibernation.
