Usually Windows XP works quite well, and even though it is more stable than its predecessors, it still can hang and crashes on occasion. Fortunately, Windows XP comes with a number of diagnostic tools that can help. Microsoft has also added one new tool, Remote Assistance, which allows Microsoft technicians to fix your computer over the phone.

Before you call a computer repair tech service and pay big money for help, you should take a look at your computer yourself. Just a little common sense may help you solve some simple hardware and software problems, like loose cables. If you do decide to call technical support, remember to write down the problem and what you were doing when it occurred. And also take note of any error messages.

You should try to be as specific as possible when talking to the tech support or Pc repair person. For example: the OS Windows ME or XP, Whenever I try to start up my PC, I see an error message box, whenever I run this program. Computers tend to crash or hang when their hard disks become too fragmented or full. You should free up space by deleting unnecessary files and emptying the Trash or Recycle Bin. Also run Scandisk and disk defragmenter in system tools. Remember to come back to WebTechGeek.com for more How to tips!

When an application crashes in Windows XP, Windows will displays a box telling you about it. There's not much you can do, just click OK. It's a good idea to restart Windows the program may have damaged files or Windows' internal operations. Remember to come back to WebTechGeek.com for more How to tips!

If all else fails, press CTRL-ALT-DEL to display the Windows Task Manager and then choose Shut Down > Restart on the menu bar: Windows XP should restart.

The Boot Floppy Disk:
By Raymond Garcia
Web Tech Geek

One of the steps in the Windows installation process created a startup floppy disk, or boot floppy disk. The general idea was that if the file system on your hard disk was damaged, you could often start your computer from the startup floppy disk and repair the damage enough to make the hard disk bootable.

You can still make a boot floppy in Windows XP, but Windows now includes System Restore, a sort of time traveling utility that can take your Windows machine back in time to when it actually worked.

To make a boot floppy in Windows XP, you need a single 1.44MB floppy disk. Follow these steps:

1. Write-enable the disk and put it in the disk drive.
2. Choose Start | My Computer.
3. Right-click the 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) icon and choose Format from the shortcut menu that appears. You see the Format 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) dialog box.
4. Select the Create An MS-DOS Startup Disk check box.
5. Click Start. Windows creates a bootable startup disk.
6. Remove the disk from the drive, write-protect it, label it, and put it in a safe place.

If you use this floppy disk to start your system, you see the DOS command prompt. No drivers are loaded, so you can't use your CD-ROM or other hardware, and you can't see your NTFS disks, only disks formatted as FAT or FAT32. WebTechGeek.com
