    I have a netbook with Win 7 Starter.  I have an old laptop that the motherboard is dead hard disk.  I would like to transfer the Win 7 Home Premium OS from the hard drive of my netbook.  Since I already own the licence of this OS, is it possible to transfer?

  • I can't scroll my podcasts more since the update to iTunes 12.4. I can only use the arrow keys to go through my podcasts, and then take it all down.

    I have a MacBook Pro and update to the latest iOS and iTunes. I can't scroll in my podcasts to choose which episodes to synchronize. I can only use the arrow keys to navigate, but then while he list of podcasts on the left, it moves also down from the bar on the list of episodes, so by the time I spend the first 7 or 8 I can't see the episodes more to choose which to add/remove.

    Same here, very frustrating.

    I found if you go in your library > Podcast, then control click on the podcast, you can select Add to the device, which works, but is in no way acceptable.

  • Failure of KB967912 Windows Vista updated 10 x today and the computer can't access internet

    My new ACER Vista Office tried to install this update 10 x, today. It started while I was working this afternoon. Until that moment, I had a complete connectivity via a cable CAT5e LAN accessing a router and cable modem. Later, I lost the first internet and local network access. Before that, I had worked with Firefox, Windows Media, and financial software and everything was accessed successfully the ' net. Then, I tried to configure Microsoft Outlook 2007 to get my email. His inability to access my cable provider was the first idea I had that I didn't have connectivity.

    Each time, I had the exclamation point on the stop switch and Vista stops with the view that he was installing "Update 1 of 1. However, whenever I rebooted the update didn't install.  Also, I had to restart my modem and router every time to regain access to the internet for short periods of time; in less than 4 to 7 minutes, all access to the internet is lost again. The error code was Code BC2 the last couple of times, but before that I also got error Code 80200053 when an Office update also failed to install. (I was able to install the Office update successfully, after another restart and cycle the modem to regain power connectivity).

    Help! FYI, I had to find another computer even to post this question!

  • If I update my windows xp edition family pack it remove programs or do some programs do not?

    If I update my windows xp home edition pack will delete my programs or make some of them do not work or work properly.

    It's a good idea to allow the updates of Windows run the calendar.  The security of your system will be improved and features as well.  You must be up to Service Pack 3 on XP and current updates. Use the Windows Update option in the Tools menu in Internet Explorer to get the latest version. On system properties, open the Automatic Updates tab and set the preferences to automatic.

    Process and rational explanations can be obtained on a number of sites of tech as well as Microsoft.  Here are some links:

  • Vista update to my laptop 13July2013 immediately I can't start or restore... it is now a bunch of junk

    There are 19 items in the update and after it closed, the system after completing the update, I was completely unable to start the computer. At one point, I had running CHKDSK and it set a lot of things, but still the system is dead. Startup Repair did not work, nor the system restore... so that Microsoft has managed in a swift move convert my computer from one room works well equipment to an expensive paper weight.

    If something done CHKDSK, it means that your HARD drive has bad sectors

    Maybe run CHKDSK again adapts to things more
    It's not for lack of Microsoft that your hard drive is damaged
