If anyone has any input/suggestions PLEASE let me know. I am clueless as to why my comp cant recongnize the internet connection. I have used the disk before on a dif comp and it checked for internet connection automatically. I have tried to connnect just straight through modem with no router. Ive tried resetting my modem, many times, and router (xbox live). When it does restart and finish installing xp, I go in to manually configure the connection, I have high speed, (it says its already configured for highspeed) but it still says there is no connection. My brother has used this disk on my comp before to format/re-install with no problem. It finishes installing xp with no internet connection check. This time however, its like it skipped right through that step. Usually during installation, before restart, it will check for an internet connection automatically.
I formatted and re-installed windows xp onto my computer. The disk is the one that came with my computer. I have formatted and re-installed with this disk before (not on my comp though) and havent had a problem.
The software is being offered as part of a 12-month pilot program and the company said that it may extend the offer to other developing markets if the pilot is successful.Im sure there is a simple solution to this problem. Microsoft said it plans to announce specific pricing for the software to manufacturers in coming weeks, adding that it would be “the most affordable Windows operating system available to date.”
The software will ship to Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia on new, low-priced desktop PCs through PC manufacturers and Microsoft distributors in Thai, Malay and Indonesian-language versions. It does include Internet connectivity, Windows Messenger and digital photography support, as well as security features, the company said. The starter OS is geared toward first-time users and has no support for more advanced features such as PC-to-PC home networking, sharing printers across a network or the ability to establish multiple user accounts on a single PC. Introduction of the product comes as the Redmond, Washington, software maker takes on the growing threat of Linux and the continuing plague of piracy common in developing markets. Windows XP Starter Edition is an easy-to-use, cheaper version of the company’s current flagship OS, offering localized language support and customization options, preconfigured settings and simplified task management. The company also plans to announce shortly two more countries taking part in the pilot program, it said Wednesday. The introduction of Windows XP Starter Edition in the three Asian markets was widely anticipated as Microsoft said in July it was negotiating with the governments to offer the entry-point product. A simplified and lower-priced version of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows XP operating system (OS) will begin shipping to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand on new desktop PCs in October as part of a pilot program to tap into first-time PC users in developing markets, the software maker said Wednesday.
