The first screen seen in the first picture that will come up will be a screen for you to select the language and keyboard style that you wish to use for your new installation of Windows XP.
I have chosen to use the English Language and the US keyboard layout. You may select any configuration that you are comfortable with and then press the Next button. The next thing the program will ask for is the name and organization that this install is affiliated with as seen in the second picture. You will want to fill this in with your information.
After filling in the information, you will press the Next button. When the next screen comes up as seen in the third picture , you will want to choose the name you want to give to your computer and the password the Administrator of the computer will have. Press the Next button. You will now see the area for you to choose the time and date to be set on the computer.
This will correspond to the Time Zone in which you live. I live in the Central Time Zone, so I have chosen to have the date and time correspond to that. You may pick which ever you would like from this menu.
After choosing the Time Zone you are in, you will need to make sure the time is correct. This can be done by checking the time as seen in the second picture. The installation will prompt you to improve the display settings as seen in the first picture. You will need to press the OK button for this to continue. After pressing the OK button, you will see another box appear like the one in the second picture.
This box will want you to press the OK button also. After pressing OK in the last step, you will see the Microsoft Windows welcome screen appear like the first picture. On this page, you will want to press the next button at the bottom right. Now you will see a screen prompting you to protect your PC.
You will want to decide if you want Windows XP to have automatic updates on or not. I chose to have the system do automatic updating to save from the hassle of having to be sure the computer's user remembers to update the computer.
After making your choice, you will need to press the next button in the bottom right. Now you will be prompted to give the computer a user. For the purposes of this set of instructions I gave it a user named "MyName", but you can name this user whatever you would like.
After giving the computer at least one user you may want to give it many , you will need to press the next button. After pressing the next button, you will see a Thank you screen. The thread you're posting in is very old. I recommend creating your own thread at the following location:. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question 5. Report abuse. That is impressive! There are also several other things you can do to improve the performance of your Windows XP Computer.
Certain device drivers and other programs such as Adobe Reader add certain tools into the start-up process. Lots of these are unnecessary. Use Autoruns to untick or delete the programs you want to avoid running at start up. A word of caution, NOT to delete anything you are unsure of! If you modify the order of the boot devices so that the hard disk is placed at the top of the list, the system does not have to waste time checking other devices for boot records. Just by changing the order of the devices, you can shave anywhere from one to several seconds off of your boot time, depending on the speed of your hardware.
To change the boot order or sequence, as some call it , you will have to enter the BIOS setup screen that was mentioned earlier. What are the consequences of changing the boot order?
Changing the boot order will not hurt your system in any way if you do it correctly. If, by accident, you remove your hard drive from the list and save the BIOS settings, you will get a pleasant surprise when your computer reboots-a statement that the computer cannot find any operating system.
Once you have done that, your system will be back to normal. Another possible issue that you may encounter is simply a matter of inconvenience. Once you change the boot order of the system devices so that the hard drive is listed first, you will no longer be able to use system restore CDs or floppy boot disks.
If something has happened to your computer and you need to boot off of those drives to restore your system or run diagnostics, just go back to the BIOS and lower or remove the hard disk from the first boot device. Changing the boot order of your drives Most computers are set up so that when you first turn on your computer, it will check to see if you want to boot from other drives besides your hard drive.
