How do I get my two xp's to talk to each other?

Well, first you turn down the lights....put on some soft music....bottle of wine and....\n\n\n\nNo....I won't quit my day job.\n\nOk ok......XP has built-in something called Remote Assistance, if this is indeed what you're asking about. If you right-click "My Computer" go to "Properties" then go to the "Remote" tab, you will see a check-box to activate it, and a link where you can read more about it.\n\nBoth computers need to have this turned on for it to work, and essentially, if I recall, the computer that 'calls' the other computer is the one that can 'see' the other computer's terminal. I don't believe it's a two-way thing. Now, if the other computer is used as the 'calling' computer then IT will see the others computers terminal.\n\nMake sense?\n\nEssentially you can sit at your computer and use teh mouse and open and close things and the other person at the other computer can sit and watch what's happening. Good for troubleshooting or fixing someone else's computer remotely.\n\nNot sure you need the IP address of both boxes or not, but if you do you can find that my going to Start/Run.\n\nType "run" in the little window.\n\nA window will pop up. You'll see a blinking 'prompt'. Type "ipconfig" and then hit 'enter'.\n\nYou'll see the line that says IP Address.\n\nHope this is what you were looking for.

Detech All the USB devices and Run the Installation CD of WindowsXP, but don;t do a fresh Installation instead opt for Upgrading the operating system.. This way you need not to install al the other software again..\n  And believe me with windows this is the best option,will take only 50 Mins,and you need not to have tension in your mind..\n  (Iassume your hardware is working fine)

If you feed the XP disk in while you have your Windows 2000 opened, it will ask you or have an option for you to choose upgrade.\nThen follow the prompt and questions to continue.

Good question.\n\nIf you want an easy way of doing it, I would recommend buying a video card that supports two monitor adapters. This way you can hook up the two monitors and all you need to do then is a little setup\n\nWhat you need to do under Windows Xp is to right click on your desktop and go to properties. Once you are at properties, select the settings tab. Once both monitors are hooked up, you will see a drop down box for selecting the monitors. Select the second monitor from the drop down list. Once you select it you will see a checkbox that says "extend my windows desktop to this monitor". Make sure the checkbox is checked and click ok. Then that's it. Have Fun!

you shouldn't have any driver probs going from xp home to xp pro...they use the same drivers.  If you have hardware that doesn't have drivers then I would suggest you reinstall the drivers using any XP drivers for the hardware.

Yes, but you can only use one a at a time. Just connect them both and you can choose which use using the audio/video wizard in msn messenger for example.

Try to get an external USB drive with a cd rom and do it from there, since XP is still running.  Also a very strong recomendation, get another copy of win xp and make sure that it has the Service Pack 2.  And if none of these work, try to get your HD out of the case and make the instalation on someone else computer, putting your HD as a slave and running the instalation on it.\n\nHope I´ve given you a guide to solving your issue.

Windows XP has the drivers...make sure your device has AC power (if applicable). Restart your computer with the USB plugged in to a DIFFERENT USB SLOT!!!

Plug in a USB 2.0 device. XP will rapidly inform you that "This Device Can Perform Faster if..."

try switching the adapters in your laptops(if they are compatible)....if it works in your other laptop you know it's a software issue.\n\nif the above isn't a solution try removing the wireless adapter and rebooting the machine to reinstall. to do this:\n\nclick on start, settings, control panel\ndouble click on system\nselect the hardware tab, then device manager\nclick on the plus sign in front of network adapters\nright click on your wireless adapter and select uninstall.\nreboot your computer and let XP reinstall it.\n\nif this doesn't work then the wireless adapter is defective in which case will need to be replaced.\n\nGood luck!!!

Well, I know 2 ways(You must have the owners autorizathion):\n1. Use radmin (Remote Administrator)- Both you and the "controlled" computer must have it installed\n2. Strt a NetMeeting conversation(XP has it installed in x:&#92;Program Files&#92;NetMeeting), then u must recieve an invitation from the pther computer....

Many ways! Depends on your flavour! You can simply put the XP cd in and do a fresh install over win2k, you can buy a second hard drive and install XP on it and run two seperate operating systems (my favorite)!

download the driver specailly made for XP\n-check if the USB ports are working fine\n-go to control panel add remove hardware and search for h/w\n-if the hardware is found, select install hardware manually and provide the location of the dirver.\n-Done.

Yes u can. Use only one PC with XP home. Don't install same XP in multiple PC at a time.
