Possible to run Windows XP/2k on Touch Pro2?
 
I did a search, But nothing came up..
I wanted to know i fi can run a stripped-down version
of XP or 2000 on my TP2. Has it been done before?

The TP2 has a ARM CPU, not an x86 CPU, windows other than the ones with CE core would not run.

SO no winxp or win2000, not even win95.

What about the x86 Emulators?
I am not looking for blazing speed...

The best Ive seen a TP2 run as far as desktop OS is Ubuntu..then from there I guess you can try running a windows emulator in ubunto..but can't guarantee anything...

Win95 yes. Look around a bit and you'll find a fully functioning retail copy of Win95 out there for use ;)

Before you try to run a desktop O/S on it (and remember this is ON TOP of an emulator, if one exists) remember you're running it on a 500 MHz CPU with less then 256 MB memory. "Not looking for blazing speed" is going to be an UNDERSTATEMENT of how bad it'll be (again if such a thing even exists)

Why would you want to do that?

2. Open Settings > Personal > Buttons and map a button on your phone for '<Input Pannel>'.

For alternate install (to Strorage Card):
1. Make sure your Storage Card has at least 100mb of free space.
2. Extract the 'win95.bin.zip' file. Copy the BIN file inside to the root of your Storage Card.
3. Open the EXE and follow the install instructions.
4. After the install is done, find out the name of your memory card (it could be Storage Card, SD Card, CF Slot, etc.)
5. Open the file 'boschrc.txt' in the root of your device with Word Mobile. Click Menu > Edit > Find/Replace.
6. Click 'Replace...'. In the first box type 'Storage Card'. In the other type the name of your card (the one that you found out earlier).
7. Save the file. Make sure you choose to keep the current format. Do NOT save it as a word document.
8. Open Settings > Personal > Buttons and map a button on your phone for '<Input Pannel>'.

Use After Installation
- If you did an alternate install, insert your Memory Card.
- Click Start > Programs > Windows 95.
- Give the app a minute to start up. If you get a message that there is not enough memory, free up as much as you can.
- Eventualy, you will see the Windows 95 boot screen. You can make the app go fullscreen by pressing the 'Fn' button on VGAKey and pressing one of the 'F' keys (not sure which one).
- You might have to run 'ScanDisk' the first time you start. Let it quickly scan your PDA.
- In fullscreen mode, press the button theat you assigned to <Input Panel> to bring up the keyboard.
- The mouse might not work properly on your device. Use the arrow buttons on your PDA to move it, or try draging the cursor instead of tapping. Remember, Windows 95 was never programmed for touch screens.
Press F12 on VGAKEY for fullscreen, F5 For Mouse.
