Also, what to do with windows 95?
I have recently 'inhiereted' the task of selling a computer Packard Bell multimedia c115 has Windows 95 installed. It has an Intel Penntium processor, 16 MB of ram (can be upgraded to 128) 1.2 MB hard drive 8 x cd rom etc (this info is on the sticker that is always on the computer of the time of purchase!) A young man (30 years) have been requested this task that I care and provide services. He had this computer for more information, and then 2 years and I never saw in a working state until I took the bundle of joy home with me! Now my question is... What I do with it? It can even be put on the internet?
He bought a newer dinosaur (2007 dell slimline I think with XP... Quite the upgrade lol) which actually functions and allows him to play his games and transfer photos from his digital camera, so he's happy. It is of course on a fixed income, so even if he has not paid an extreme amount of money for the new toy, he looks at me too get him funds for the ancient goddess... It doesent even not a USB or Ethernet port for gods sake! just a line telephone connection... Please help what am I too do?

Hello
Condition that the computer meets all requiremements for Windows 2000, NT or ME to upgrade should be quite simple. But without knowing all the specifications of the computer, it is difficult to say with certainty.

What is happening with Windows Update from 18/01/2016 When I find out Windows Update in Control Panel, he said, with a big yellow sign warning, "install new Windows Update software to check updates. You must first install an update from Windows Update. Your automatic update settings will not change. To install the updated Windows Update will automatically close and reopen. »
Only Microsoft would think of this UPDATE TO SEE THE UPDATE.
When you click on install, it starts running AND running and checking for updates and there is no display. It must be download them?
When I go to shut down the computer, there is a big yellow exclamation on the Start button that says that Windows Update will install updates before its stop point. So it takes a while to stop.
I also noticed that in Windows Task Manager > process I have an iexplore.exe process * 32 running 120, 600 KB.
It stopped when I changed the Windows Update option stop the download and installation.
The computer is running very slow and erratic.
I just reinstalled Windows 7, so I have to do all the updates.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you

Yep, that's how M$ slides 10ware in
See the note at the bottom of the updates settings page ;)
M$ has abused more than system update in 2015 and that continues in 2016.
I usually don't worry about this if updates are they come if not well welcome to 2020 support ended in the beginning

Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?
I'm in a bit of a dead end. I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.
In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images. My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.
Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker? My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.
I'm ready to buy a new camera. I just need something compatible. Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.
Can anyone help?
If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it
Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p
The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.
But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)
You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV

What Labelflash compatible with Windows 7
Does anyone know how to use Labelflash in Windows 7, or what program I should use.
Labelflash, for those who do not know, is like Lightscribe but a much higher quality. It is a label of laser burned right image on the disk.
The problem is that I can't it works with Windows 7, even in compatibility mode.
Labelflash site provides a free software, for windows vista and below, but only allows you to use their own images. I want to use my images to customize my records. It can be done because, as with my Lightscribe, I've done it before win7.
Any assistance in finding a program ($$ is not a problem) that will allow me to continue using Labelflash with Win7 to create my own images and not factory supplied on labels is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I have a WD NAS, who has worked through my Explorer windows until recently - now I can access only through Internet Explorer 8 using FTP.
I use to be able to open the windows Explorer and able to 'network' and click on the NAS and enter my name/password and access all folders and files to the breast. Now I go into windows Explorer and I can see the NAS and I can click on it and enter my name and password, and it shows even the top-level folders-
I can't do any further due to the standard contextual windows alert, and the message goes between the "network name is not available" and the message "already mapped the drive. I have not noticed a model and did not install anything at the same time. Don't try to do wireless, the NAS is ethernet wired to my router and my router to my computer - no router updates/changes - no updates/changes NAS - no I do not have the mapped drives sitting over there, yes I'm admin on the computer and the NAS server - there is no noticeble change I can find - not firewall , no anitvirus, no microsoft updates - anything good for troubleshooting?
Anyone has an idea why only windows Explorer fails now to be able to access the NAS, esp when FTP with internet explore works fine? Thank you!

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit reinstall what I do with windows.old?
I bought a "UPDATE" Windows 7 Ultimate drive some time ago and already just used the element of UPGRADE to upgrade from the Desktop installed and purchased Wnidows VISTA OS.
For some time I had problems with BSOD on the desktop. I decided to reinstall WINDOWS 7 Ultimate 64-bit using the CUSTOM option, which I think would be to completely erase the hard drive.
Until I reinstalled it, I made sure I ran Windows 7 Easy Transfer to copy on more than 312 GB of documents, photos and music on my external HARD drive. To make sure that I had all other archived data I also copied manually essential to other external HARD drives files just to be sure I won't lose my data.
I then ran the windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit re - install using the CUSTOM method, and it appeared to reinstall correctly, although there were a number of old files left on drive C (and it has not changed the name of the drive C either, I did later). This suggests that he did not "sweep" the C drive,
However, once the reinstallation of Windows 7 over, I noticed that he had left a WINDOWS. OLD folder on my PC. It seems to contain all the old data Wnidows and the USER records and files.
It takes about 350 GB of HARD drive space, I'm wanting to delete. After all, surely my WINDOWS 7 Easy Transfer program copied all my data back once again? It seems though that in my 'new' windows folder, I see all my files.
Why should I keep the WINDOWS. OLD folder? After all I only reinstall WINDOWS 7 on the previous WINDOWS 7 operating system. My VISTA operating system, (as far as I can tell) no longer seems to be present.
It seems to me (from my limited knowledge) that the office works very well and I have since reinstalled OFFICE and other programs without any problems. In addition, updates to the operating system and the software downloaded and installed without problem.

I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).
In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..
I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:
1. the claims & recovery of pilots
2. system recovery disk for operating
3 supplemental Recovery Disc
However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.
So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?
Thank you
Steve
Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.
Your options are limited.
