  The Magentic program does not work with newer versions of windows

  Hello danielbrauer,

  The magnetic site says the requirements are for Windows XP or higher. However, it is not on the Windows Vista or the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

  You can try the following to see if it will help with compatibility. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
  Use the following steps:
  (1) right click on the program
  2) click Properties
  3) click on the Compatibility tab
  (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

  Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  If this does not help, you can contact the magnet to see if they have an updated version.

  Sincerely,

• What is the difference between Windows 7 OEM and the retail version of Windows 7?

  Can someone tell me, what is the difference between windows 7 OEM and sales vs retail?

  There is no difference in the product itself.

  Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
  even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
  commercial version:

  1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
  that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
  installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
  or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
  dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

  2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

  3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
  with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
  OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
  You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

• Can I activate an installation of the retail of Windows 7 with an OEM key?

  I got a copy of windows 7 Home Edition premium, I had the drive, but he lost and the and Cd - key so installed the ISO on the site, thinking I find the cd and key later. turns out it was lost in my recent move, so I bought a copy of windows 7 Home premium OEM. like I said that installation is disabled the microsoft Web site, so I don't know if it's OEM or retail. I ordered my new copy off newegg and am not sure if it will work. I use my computer now, but I get the saying of the warning I left so many days. The OEM cd - key will work with my installed OS, if its so retail? of course if its OEM, then it will work, but what happens if it's the detail?

  If they are of the same edition, it will work.

• Can I reinstall the retail install Windows 7 on a corrupt Windows 7?

  Malware has changed/corrupted preloaded Windows 7 on my HP desktop.

  Nothing seems to back up Windows a few times, with the exception of persistence and luck.

  Can I install a new retail Windows 7 on that preinstalled.

  And, if so, will remove all data on non-system to operate on drive C?

  If so do I back up everything first?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  There are some that will hide your files/folders so that you don't normally see them. I strongly suggest to run a scan on your computer with your antivirus/antimalware software. If you need to, you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:

• Conditions of the retail of Windows XP Professional and license and decal OEM COA / label question:

  Hello everyone and especially lawyers license!

  It's pretty obvious (applying common sense) that a single license is a single Installation, no matter if Windows XP, Vista or 7, or OEM or retail.

  However...

  Question 1:
  Is that the only true, firmer and more correct to do statement?
  ""Windows XP Professional OEM license dies with your computer / caisse".

  Question 2:
  I have two DELL computers. One is with Windows XP Professional OEM (Dell) and the other with Windows Vista Business OEM (Dell). I would like to swap/Exchange two licenses COA stickers (if it's physically possible) and simply change the Microsoft Windows operating system on these two computers. From what I understand at this time - and please correct me if I'm wrong - Microsoft Licensing policy said it is legally impossible. True? Fake?

  Question 3:
  This question is about the "decommissioning" of Windows Vista business to Windows XP Professional. I'm OK with my understanding that there are some licenses of Windows Vista Business out there that can be legally retired, and some who cannot?
  How do I determine by looking at just the Windows Vista Business OEM COA sticker, if it is a license that can legally be downgraded or not?
  If it can be downgraded, can I license Windows Vista Business COST just the installation of Windows XP Professional key, when asked to enter?

  Thank YOU ALL for your expertise and your help!

  Hello

  Question 1: "Windows XP Professional OEM license dies with your computer / caisse"-c' is licensed OEM is NOT transferable to another machine and once your dies of PC/LAptop, then the license dies with him.

  Question 2: You cannot exchange an OEM license of any computer to another. This includes exchanging the COA from one device to another, making of this ould invalidate your license, as the certificate of authenticity shall be kept with the license provided with the original machine.

  Question 3: Downgrade rights allow you to get off at analogues for the same edition of vista, IE company from Vista to XP Pro, you cannot downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home.

  hope that answers all your questions.

• Copy the retail of Windows 8

  I had bought Windows 8 pri when it was first released.  I installed it on a convertible netbook from dell duo touchscreen. I sold the netbook restore factory settings, which has windows 7.  I do have Windows 8 and have not reinstalled it on any computer and want to sell it, can I?

  Hello

  You can sell a retail license, as long as is not installed anywhere else.

  But you must tell the buyer that they might have to phone activation, due to the fact that you had installed on another machine, which can generate activation errors...

  If you don't tell them that you installed before the formatting of the old machine and sell it, they don't know what to say Microsoft if the activation fails, and can then contact you for assistance.

  See you soon.

• How can I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents the start of Windows XP OEM version?

  Turned on my Dell PC today to find wonderful "Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"message. "  I have a Dell 8400 which had pre-installed XP Prof. when I bought it.  I found the MS page that deals with the issue of the file, but they cite... "Do not use the procedure that is described in this article if your computer has an OEM operating system installed." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 ... but gave no alternative instructions if you do.  ????

  How someone does solve this problem if they have an OEM operating system and do not want delete or lose the data they had on the hard drive?

  I tried to go in safe mode to see if I could get a restore, but failed to go beyond the Dell BIOS screen.
  I tried Dell support does site... no help.  Just a page to list the errors and buttons for your favorite web search gee thanxs engines.

  Help!

  You can always make use of KB307545, if you start your computer from a CD with a system.  I find that free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu works well for this purpose (if you use Ubuntu, make sure you have not install; instead of this, use the option "Try Me").  You download an .iso file and use the "Burn Image" of your burning program CD to create a CD bootable on another machine and then use this system to perform the steps of KB307545.  Linux has the advantage of protections on the folder "System Volume Information" don't get in the way and where you need to back up your system (before reinstalling Windows), it doesn't have the path of 256 byte limit that has Windows.

  After booting from the Live CD of Linux, start KB307545 of part 2, step 6.  You will use Linux to move, copy and delete files instead of command line commands, but you should be able to find a way to do it.  You won't have to restart between part 2 and part 3, but you need to remove the CD and reboot after completing part 3.  Make sure you complete part 4.

  If things are really bad, you can use the Live CD as a system for access to your files and back up an external hard drive, USB or network before you reinstall Windows.

• The resale of Windows Vista OEM (dvd and license)

  If I build me a PC parts and use OEM windows Vista Home, can I consider all 4 years later apart sells parts and the vista OEM software all stay?

  The license is no longer in use. Therefore, it is fair to say that it can still be used by a PC? Should be sold with a 'part of this original PC' I built 4 years ago or a part of it, that is to say the motherboard or hard drive?

  "15 TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY. You can transfer the software directly to a third party

  only with the device under license. You may not retain any copies of the software or any previous version

  Version. Before any permitted transfer, the other party must accept that this agreement

  applies to the transfer and to the use of the software. The transfer must include the certificate of

  Label of authenticity.

  What is the device? The PC that was taken part into different parts? Can I resell it with a RAM module for example?

  Hi AhmedChowdhury,

  1. Yes. If you install Windows 7 on this computer have the Vista DVD and its product key / license that you can not use it as an installation legitimate anywhere else using this product key. or keep it in case you want to roll back to Vista, which I doubt as you'd like!

  2. that Microsoft OEM Vista DVD will contain the files to install the various editions of Vista; Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. Microsoft retail Vista DVD will do the same. The only problem is that the 32 bit and 64 bit Vista editions come on different DVDs.

  But with respect to the sale of a DVD of Vista without product key, computer owners can make their own or buy DVDs of recovery for their computer model OF the manufacturer, at a cheap price anyway.

  And if their friends have a DVD Microsoft, Microsoft NOTES not Sanyo, Toshiba DVD, they can copy their DVD friends for nothing.

• Error: The installer cannot set Windows XP required configuration information during the upgrade to Windows XP Home SP3 of Windows XP Pro.

  Original title: OEM Windows XP Home SP3 update XP Pro

  Here is a compilation of the messages from another forum regarding
  My problem:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm trying to upgrade a Windows XP Home Sp3 OEM system to
  Windows XP Pro. (There are a few Pro features
  that are not available in the House I now need: (1) the files offline and
  (2) an add-on available for free to Onenote 2007, Top2onenote, requires a Pro).
  I don't want a clean install, but an upgrade. I bought a Windows XP Pro
  Upgrade CD on Ebay that was Windows XP Pro
  Gold (v2002). I'm sure that's true for the following reasons:

  It has been listed as an upgrade, but the CD is not labeled "Upgrade".
  It seems very authentic with all Microsoft holography.
  He came in the standard package of Windows XP (without box),
  and it was sealed.
  The name of volume for the CD is WXPFPP_EN. The Internet,.
  It is the retail of Windows XP Pro RTM (gold)!

  Here are things I tried initially.

  (1) I tried to upgrade to Pro from the purchased CD. It is immediately
  has refused to upgrade indicating the upgrade OS (Pro) is older than the
  installed OS (home)...

  (2) I read about "slipstreaming". "Slipstreaming" allows to integrate
  a service pack with an earlier version of the operating system. I created a
  upgrade XP Pro SP3 with Nlite slipstreamed CD image (and
  Autostreamer later, but it made no difference) from the purchased CD
  and a file containing SP3.

  After you burn the CD and start the upgrade
  (Windows installation), the upgrade process
  product through "information collection."
  "Dynamic update" and "Preparation of Installation" with
  no problems. My computer restarted and returned to
  "Installation preparation". A progress bar called 'Progress '.
  quickly filled to about 90% and the hanging system
  at that time there for about 15 minutes.
  Then, I got the following error message:

  Setup cannot set the required Windows XP configuration
  information. This indicates an internal Setup error.

  This is where I am stuck. I had to leave the installation at this point.
  My drive is starts raining and I had to restore a backup.

  (3) just for the heck of it, I formatted my hard drive and
  reinstalled my original OEM XP Home SP3 OS (no clean up, no user file).
  I immediately used my XP CD slipstreamed Pro to try one
  upgrade to XP Pro and IT WORKED! I need to find out why the
  properly clean XP Home OS upgraded to XP Pro but my pre-existing
  (with the files users, drivers, etc..) XP Home OS does not level
  successfully to XP Pro.
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  Yet once, today, I installed a new copy of OEM Windows XP Home Sp3.
  I continue with installation of all the essential and the add-on
  pilots (essentially all my original version). Then, I
  set up a network connection and firewall. With this configuration,.
  I ran the Pro XP slipstreamed SP3 CD. The upgrade to XP Pro
  success (even if the upgrade not configured my graphics
  card properly). I guess my current problem is either the registry,
  the WINDOWS, some user file or parameter file.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  Another post:

  I made a file and the backup of the folder C:\Windows folder
  on my system that is pre-existing (OEM XP Home Sp3). I also did a
  separate the backup the State of the 'system' on my pre-existing system.
  These are added my full image backup of her pre-existing
  system a month ago.

  I did a backup image of my system (minimum fees OEM XP Home
  SP3 with all the original installed drivers over a network configured
  connection and a firewall configured). This system will upgrade
  XP Pro with XP Pro SP3 slipstreamed CD successfully.

  Experiment 1:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the C:/Windows folder
  and the State of the pre-existing system backup system. A startup
  has managed (with a minor irritant). I had to activate Windows.
  Then, I tried upgrading the slipstreamed XP Pro processor. He stopped
  at the same place during the upgrade and gave the same error as before:

  Setup cannot set the required configuration information Windows XP.
  This indicates an internal Setup error.

  Experiment 2:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored the system state only
  the backup of the pre-existing system. After startup I was asked to
  activate Windows, but answer Yes to the question would be to disconnect me
  the system. I couldn't get connected to try the XP Pro upgrade.

  Experience 3:

  I've restored my minimum system. I then restored only the C:/Windows
  the backup of the pre-existing system folder. Once again, as in experiment 1,
  the upgrade failed at the same place with the same error message.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Before the experiment 3, I hoped that 3 experience would succeed so I
  could conclude that I had a registry problem. I'm not sure now.
  I don't know what to try next. Take the minimum system and reinstalling
  my files of the user is not an option that my hard drive has over 200 GB of
  programs! If I restore all files and folders of my pre-existing
  I would still have backup to restore a system state the reliable (read the registry).
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  Sorry for the length! If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your responses.

  Thank you

• Replace the motherboard only Windows 7

  My tale of woe: my wife and I love to play Poker Online and communicate with our children and grandchildren by e-mail and Skype.  However, it seems that because we bought a laptop Compaq CQ61 cheap Gray online auctions, we are now in a bit of a pickle.  We bought the laptop used with 12 months warranty from factory and it lasted 18 months only, in other words just out of warranty.  The laptop wouldn't turn on one morning and had a horrible smell of burning plastic, I myself am immediately turned it off.  Be retired we could not afford a new laptop, so I decided to have a look for me to see if I could do something.

  After a few hours of disassembly of the laptop, I discovered that there was an area on the motherboard that has been burned to a crisp.  Being somewhat handy I looked on ebay and to my surprise, I found an exact match for the motherboard to $160. Do not think of any other possible consequences, I ordered the M/B as the cheapest option.  About a week later the renovated Intel M/B happened and I went to transfer the old M/B to the new items.

  About a day later I pressed the button ON and to my amazement, he lit in windows 7.  This is where my problems started.  After a few starts, it displays all of a sudden in the bottom right of the screen:

  Windows 7

  This copy of windows is not genuine

  As well as this occasionally at the start, he appears with the message saying "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and shows a screen trying to find a solution.

  I called the center of Activation Microsoft phone and told me that this copy of windows is linked to the M/B.  The M/B is the only bit that I replaced.  It has the same processor and the heat sink, has the same fan, he has the same drive, the same same chip memory 2 GB, it has the same wireless card but because the motherboard has been changed, now it's different.

  This sound like the old problem of axe. The handle has been changed seven times and the head was changed three times, but I know it's the same axe because I cut down a tree with her and it's the only one I have.

  The Microsoft representative said that if I had a windows recovery disk, he might have able to help me, but the only disc that was given to me with the laptop was a cardboard cut-out, explaining how to do a restore of Windows 7 and make a recovery disk.  He also said that I could simply ignore the message.

  The only other problems I have is that my HDD ATA internal and my CD/DVD drive now appear in devices and printers
  and as an icon to remove the device safely on my taskbar.  Research on the forum, this could be a problem of drivers.
  The only number on my laptop is Presario CQ61 on the front and Serial No. CNF9122FQP and a product no. NT350EA #ABU on the back on the tile and the lower part of the HP Support Assistant.  None of these numbers present on the HP site.

  Does anyone know what are my options, can I get a CD of windows 7 HP recovery, if so how? If I do get one then I'll be able to re-activare my copy of Windows 7.  If it sparkles on my only options would be to load a legitimate copy of Windows 2000 that I have or load Ubuntu 11.04, advice?

  HP recovery disks will not work on a motherboard not original. Ubuntu may be your best choice if you can not afford the retail of Windows 7.

• Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

  I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing!  I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

  Hi Jim,.

  Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

  I hope this helps!
