Six major usage taboos for Windows XP operating system _windowsxp

Although Windows XP stability is good, there are some things we should be aware of when setting up, otherwise it will cause the system to malfunction.

　　 One, bogey virtual optical drive

Most virtual optical drives are now unstable in XP, easy to cause XP panic, because the virtual optical drive is different from the general software: it through a special mechanism, in the "Device Manager" cheated windows, so that Windows thought that the addition of physical optical drive, XP only designed to restore the hardware driver, did not expect to " Restore/Remove the hardware itself. Because XP is specially optimized for NTFS and the network, and most of the virtual optical drive is developed under the FAT32 environment, the current and XP compatible with a good virtual optical drive software less, we must be installed, you have to endure several crashes to slowly try which stable, do not well XP may collapse.

　　 Special Reminders:

Even if you find a stable virtual optical drive software, if you virtual more than 4 physical optical drives, you may trigger the XP activation test mechanism, requiring you to activate xp--again because Microsoft thinks you changed the four hardware is probably changed the machine, so, suggest you still do not install the virtual CD-ROM is good.

If you really want to use a virtual CD-ROM, it's best to have multiple operating systems, with 98来 installed inside. It seems that only when the developer who writes the virtual CD-ROM software writes a new version that is stable and does not cause it to be activated, can we really use the virtual optical drive successfully.

　　 second, avoid the date of invalid

XP also has a date-checking mechanism that activates the test kit. If your motherboard CMOS battery is out of power, or wrong operation or use of other restrictions on the date of the software, resulting in the date into 1999 years of such an invalid date (1999 has not developed XP), then XP will initialize the graphical interface after the "Welcome" word to lock the system, without any hints and options, In addition to the mouse to move outside the same as the crash. If you are not aware of the impact of the date, no matter what operation is unable to repair XP, so be sure to be careful you start XP date, enter XP, and then change the date is OK.

　　 third, bogey outside the cat's power did not open

XP is optimized for the design of ISDN and broadband networks, and is not so "cared for" by modem. Many cats do not have an appropriate driver in XP, they can only be replaced with a for 2000 or NT driver, and often there is an unusual problem with dialing. In particular, many foreign cats, if you start XP does not open the modem power, into the graphical interface and then open XP will not be able to find the hardware, need you again in the Device Manager Refresh scan hardware or restart XP, very troublesome. So with the friends of the cat please note: Before entering XP Remember to open your modem power.

　　 Iv. Avoid opening default sharing and Remote Assistance

Because XP is the implementation of Microsoft. NET strategy, the default is to open many network features. For example: Share your drive, Remote Assistance over the network to solve Windows operating problems, and so on. These network functions can be very convenient for knowledgeable people, but not enough for network security knowledge of novice users, but there is a certain risk, because the shared drive and allow Remote Assistance is required to open your computer's port, and open certain permissions, although XP has its own firewall, But if you're faced with a clever virus or malicious hacker, these services can also put you at risk of data loss or leaks.

People who are generally not familiar with network security knowledge are advised to turn off the sharing and Remote Assistance feature if they do not need to be on the LAN.

　　 Five, bogey installed in the same partition after XP windows9x

XP was developed with an NT schema, but the default directory for placing files is not Winnt, which is also named Windows directory on the partition where you install XP. If you install XP in the same partition after installing a Windows98, not only may destroy the multiple operating system boot menu, but also because 98 of the installer will overwrite the file and destroy the XP system, because the 9X default installation path is also Windows. So it is recommended that you or each of the operating system for a separate partition good, and note that the first install a lower version of the Windows, and then installed XP, so as not to use the installation program to repair the multiple boot menu.

　　 VI, bogey in the support of ACPI-poor machine with XP standby or hibernate

ACPI-poor support machine, mainly the power supply and motherboard problems, at this point if the use of hibernation or standby function, after the recovery of the sound card may be abnormal, with a large rush of the murmur.

Also, because standby and hibernation are all about shutting down the hard drive, however, in the system of poor ACPI support, turn off the hard drive but not cut off the power, or even the hard drive is not complete, you may leave a few seconds after the hard drive and automatically open, so that the head in a short period of time has not been reset by the great impact of the current, The lifetime of the hard drive will be greatly affected.
Suggest you find your XP system standby or Hibernate function has a bug, it is best to change a good power or a good motherboard, you do not intend to replace, it is best not to use XP standby and Hibernate function.
