This may be obvious to anyone who knows anything about computers, but
unfortunately I don't so I need some help...
I've installed a new version of XP Pro and it has installed as a second
operating system (saved in folder 'WINDOWS' rather than 'WINNT'). However,
when I boot up using this new XP Pro, none of my programs or settings are
recognized (e.g. the START menu does not list any of my programs, including
Office). Also, my Norton IS does not run automatically as it does on the
other OS.
Is there any way to associate the current programs to the new installation
of XP?
Thanks.
 
No. The registry lacks the entries it needs, which running setup for the
apps put in. You can run installs for the apps, placing them in the same
locations, if you like.
