Windows XP Home Edition

Hello everyone. Can someone please help with this question? I am having
performance and software installation issues with my PC running Windows XP
Home Edition. One problem in particular with a software installation is my
inability to install and run iTunes. Also, my PC just doesn't seem to behave
"right". It's freezes a lot.

Everything was okay until recently when my iTunes was running and I did an
upgrade to the latest version. Subsequently, I did a System Restore in Safe
Mode just because I needed to restore to a previous date. That's when things
started to get messy.

One thing that I notice now is that when I boot my PC and the Windows XP
title screen first appears the "Home Edition" no longer appears on that title
screen. I swear it used to be there before prior to my problem. Does this
mean I have a corrupt copy of Windos XP? I've tried scanning for viruses and
there aren't any. Thanks.

Ron--You're pop-up blocker may be stoping you from opening a new page to post. Try turning it off & clicking on new again.

When you used system restore you also restored I-Tunes (and anything else installed after the restore point was created) to the state it was before the upgrade. That may be causing some conflicts. Try re-installing the updated I-Tunes again.

I think reinstalling your OS should fix your problems.

On the boot screen the Home or Pro was taken out with SP2. Nothing wrong there.
As for your other problem, Try reinstalling since a system restore doesnt restore software just windows components, registry and such. The registry entries are for the previous version of iTunes and not the newest.
