What xp version do i need?

hi there.
ive heard that you need a retail version of xp.
so i have two computers with windows xp home SP2 on them, and i have the oem software cds.
so can i:
slipstream from the xp already on my computer (if i buy a serial key)
purchase a version like this
http://www.royaldiscount.com/wixphoedsp2f.html
or
http://www.viosoftware.com/WindowsXP+Home/Windows+XP+Home+with+SP2OEM.html?osCsid=13f37efa35d584af099a70499cb4b0d8
or do i have to buy the whole stupid thing for like 150?
and also if you buy a authenticity code and a serial key,
it doesnt matter how you obtain the actual software, right?
Thank you very much for any help.

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows XP.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & XP, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.
Here is a link;

    I have mac os x 10.4.11& 1st gen ipod touch 2.2.1, so what itunes version do I need to use?

    Thank you!  The box says it is, but I have learned that the newer versions of itunes won't work.  I had an older version than the box requirements, but was not sure how high I could go, so thanks again!

  • What BIOS version do I need for this processor?

    I am going to be starting round two soon trying to install my new MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard. I had to RMA the last one because I could not get it to work with anything I did. So my question is this, what BIOS version do I need for my processor to be recognized? I will be using the 790FX-GD70 motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor.
    And what version comes on the motherboards? I want to make sure I don't encounter problems again when trying to install it. If it requires a BIOS upgrade right out of the box, then I will take it to the local computer store and have them flash it with one of their lower end processors. Thanks in advance!

    Is the CPU the 125W (1.5) or the 140W (1.3) version? The 125W is the newest and takes a later 1.5 BIOS. Look at the BIOS chip on the MB and write down the number on the sticker that's stuck on it. The last 3 digits = BIOS version, ie. 100 would be 1.0, 110 1.1
     It's the chip just above bottom PCIe slot just to the right of N1996 number on the MB. (near the bottom center of MB) The thing is small so you need good young eyes or a magnifying glass to read it.

    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...

  • Using 10.5 what flash version do I need.

    Using 10.5.8   iMac G5. What version flash do I need to view BBC iplayer/

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer (using Safari), although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • What version of android do I got and what browser version do I need

    How to figure out and set up

    You should be able to find Firefox for Android in the Android Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
    If your device does not ship with the Play Store app then you can get Firefox Aurora from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#aurora

    I have iPhoto Version 8.6, and and want to upgrade to Version 9. I can't find a download for Version 9.0.0.  Exactly what version do I need to download, and or buy, and where do I find it?  Every version of 9 that I download tells me I need an earlier one.

    There is no download aside from the one in the Mac App Store available to people running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and newer. The other way of getting iPhoto 9 is to purchase iLife 11 on DVD. As iLife 11 requires Mac OS X 10.6.3 or newer, it's usually best to update to 10.6.8 for free and then use the Mac App Store version.

  • What is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0

    what is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0?
    enterprise or standard? can I install it on datacenter?
    please provide me with the reference.
    thanks

    Workflow Manager will work with either SharePoint Enterprise or Standard.  It doesn't work well with Foundations since it depends on User Profiles to pass user identity to the workflow.  And yes you can install it on Windows Server datacenter edition.
     Here are the supported platforms for installation
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx
    This article talks about integration with SharePoint and states that Foundation is not supported, but it doesn't differentiate between the Server editions, so any edition will do.

    You could use firefox 3.6, which is old but still supported and secure. However the best solution is to give up on using Google Toolbar because Google no longer support it with firefox, mainly because it has little to offer.
    You can still save google bookmarks by copying them into Firefox. Please have a look at
    * [[google Toolbar is not compatible with Firefox]] <-- clickable link -- <br> which may help with some ideas and proposed solutions.
    I am hoping the Norton report you refer to merely says your system has vulnerabilities, rather than that it has an actual infection (or that it has dealt with or quarantined any malware).
