Introducing PTWin32 |
Microsoft Windows is
a complex operating system. It gets in to your computer on one of the ground
floors and controls virtually everything from there up. Casual users of
computers don’t normally need to know about the complexities of their
configuration and this article is no exception. However if your goal is to
change the operating system on a computer from one type of Windows to another
you need to know how to remove all traces of the old version. This does not involve
countless hours of sleuthing work on your part but it does necessitate taking a
shotgun approach that involves formatting the hard drive. Let’s say you have
a computer using Windows ME and you want to convert it to use Windows XP. Simply
running the XP upgrade will not remove all trace of the original ME
installation. This can then cause problems with some of your windows
applications including PTWin32. In order to do it
right you will need to completely wipe the hard drive of the computer before
running the XP installation. This is the only way to ensure that all remnants of
ME have been removed.
