Eclipse 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2003 When I use certain PC games that I have (Diablo 2, Age of Empires 2, Tactical Ops), for some reason it isn't working in my computer anymore. It used to work before, but now, the games are all having different types of problems. For one Diablo 2 doesn't let me play the game because it asks me to put the Diablo 2 CD in. For Tatical Ops when it's loading it says that there is a general protection fault. When I put Age of empires 2 when it's loading a game I created it closes the game completely and it goes back to the desktop. I know that XP can't run some programs that well, but after installing those on XP they work perfectly fine, then when I exit and play the game again, that's when the problems appear. I have another thing to add. Recently, I upgraded XP Home Edition to XP pro. The thing is someone else wanted to install the same XP pro using the CD I used. Now they can't and that person can't use XP pro because I registered my name under it and activated it. What I want to do is uninstall XP pro and go back to XP home. If I use system restore to restore the date I had XP home, will it install XP home? Is it possible to deactivate the XP pro that I have? Someone please help me...

A system restore I don't think will get you back to Home. I would format and reinstall whichever one you want to use and go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
