    Hi!
    Well I have this problem with my windows XP pro.: if I go in the Search or User Acount menu, the windows does open but nothing aperas, in the User Acount menu only 3 buttons(forward,back,home),and all the rest of the window is white.
    Same thing happens in safe mode. :confused:
    I bould be happy if someone could help me because I need to creat a new user acount.
    By the way - at our weekendhouse I have my old Pentium I with 166Mhz - I only use it for music listening - will XP work on it, because I would like to put my hard drive from my P4 in it, but on the PI I have Win98 SE and the Hard drive from the P4 is NTFS formatted - so it won't run with 98SE ???

    Click start run and type regsvr32 jscript.dll and click ok. Then do it again and type regsvr32 vbscript.dll. You should receive a message after each one saying they were registered properly (or something similar). Then try the search function and user accounts.

    As for running XP on a 166 mhz machine, you could probably do it but it would be painfully slow. So much so that I don't think you'd do it for long.

    Also, if you were planning on putting your XP drive in the computer and booting from it, that won't work. The hardware will all be different and WPA will kick in and not allow you to boot to windows. If you just wanted to put it in the computer to play the music on it while running Windows 98; that won't work either as Win98 won't see the drive if it's formatted to NTFS.
