Can downgrade you Windows 7 to Windows XP using the Windows 7 license?
I did a search on this topic, and it doesn't seem to be an answer to this.
We are a business in the OEM version of sale of the Windows 7 Professional there is a customer who wishes to downgrade to Windows XP Professional
It is said that the OEM Windows 7 Professional version has the option to downgrade to Windows XP.
I also found an article that Microsoft extended this downgrade to 2020
At the moment I have installed Windows XP from scratch and I want to activate Windows XP by using the Windows 7 Professional license.
Is this possible?
7 eligible for Downgrade Windows OEM versions
It is listed on the Microsoft Web site - http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx
Only certain versions of OEM Windows 7 include the right to downgrade:
* Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate includes the right to downgrade to Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Edition full.
* Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate includes the right to downgrade to Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or Windows XP x 64 Edition.
* Other OEM of Windows 7 versions (for example, Windows 7 Home Basic Edition and Windows 7 Home Premium) do not include downgrade rights.
If you are a system integrator, you will need to provide the separate license of Windows XP. You can't actually use the Windows 7 product key to activate Windows XP.

How can know you if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista?
I was not aware that the default Administrator account is so easily accessible if there is no password on it. In my view, a standard user has accessed this and it seems that the computer is having a lot of problems now. Is there a way to tell? Needless to say I care that much personal info could acceded as well as commercial information. Security, 3 administartors (users) appears in some of the boxes, and I only know 2 of them, myself and the default admin? I'm a recruit of the computer and the other person is somewhat a geek so I could really use some help. I am the system administrator, but don't really know what to look for. I would really appreciate if some wiz could help me.
Thank you
Hello
You can't find if someone has consulted and used the default Administrator account in Vista. You will need to set up a password so that no one will be able to access the admin account.

I bought CS4 in 09, and he says he has a subscription rate of discount for customers of cs. If I am subscribed to this plan, I would be able to use my 2 licenses of CS4, as well as 2 CC licenses? I have several computers at home. Thank you.
Hello
Please see > http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here > how many computers can I install on
I quote: you can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone.
If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.
With regards to your CS4, which is not a problem to use further, as I do with my Adobe Web premium CS4.

can upgrade you windows xp
Hello
Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for later operating systems.
There is no free upgrade from XP to 7, 8.1, or 10.
Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.
Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?
Original title: ACER GRRRRR! Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?
I need to reformat my laptop Acer Aspire 5520, but Acer WON'T provide me with the disks required to do... so my question is this; How can I reformat without having to buy a new drive for Windows Vista? I went to the site of the Acers and downloaded all the drivers, applications, and the bios, but I can't find anywhere on Windows. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance for your help!Hello
It s no vista for free and legally download
with an acer you never drives with him press Alt + F10 when you see the Acer start at startup screen
who should begin the process of recovery back to factory settings
Acer has do provide you with a way to reinstall vista, either way or a recovery (Alt + F10) on your disk partition hard or using recovery discs
and read this:
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

The error message "no more virtual tiles can be allocated" appears when I try to use the effects in the quick edit mode in my 13 elements. The OK wand has to press several times for loading all effects models. The error returns when you select the particular model.
The problem does not appear, if PH 13 items is run in administrator mode.
The available computer resources are rather big enough: INTEL CPU i7 4 cores, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 32 GB SSD, Windows 8.1.
Please, advice how to fix this problem? Perhaps, there is patch or update available?
I had this problem with some of the choices menu in PSE13 when my drive to work was only a SSD with 53 GB of free space. I assigned a second disc of work (my data disc with ~ 2 TB of free space) and the error disappeared.
Scratch disk settings can be found under preferences / Performance.

I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a. I GOOGLED it but the only reference I find tells me to go to the download page on the Microsoft Web site for this product. I went to this site and the only thing it is limited warranty info and Product Guide. I downloaded the Product Guide, but it only covers the basic information like it do not immerse in water, do not take part and the various regulations of the FCC about the product. There is no info in this guide on how to configure or use the keyboard AT ALL. Guidance on how to use this product is probably somewhere?
The dongle is not plug it into the keyboard, it plugs into the USB port on the computer. Wireless keyboards is not related to them - think of that. :-)
If you are missing parts to the keyboard, I would just buy a new one. You can buy wired keyboards for as little as $4 these days, wireless are a little more expensive of course. Personally, I find the wireless keyboards to be a pain because the batteries always come out in one in-opportune times. YMMV
Good luck.

Stupid question CS6. How can I get rid of my experience after using the quick selection tool?
The best way would be to make sure that your layer is not a background layer: click the lock icon in this case. Then click the icon at the bottom of the layer panel layer mask. This will create a mask that you can refine and not be destructive.

Any ideas how can I insert a pdf into word, by using the option object to insert. However, the pdf file that I want to insert text and annotated lines, but once inserted comments do not appear? any help would be greatly appreciated.
You will need to find a forum for MS Word, since it is the software you are trying to manipulate in the present. If you think that the treatment/creation of the PDF file plays a role, then you should ask in the forum for the software that you use to create the PDF file.
This forum is for a question about downloading and installing Adobe products test, so in all circumstances, your question does not fit in this forum.
