Can I get a professional XP disk and install the OS individually on each computer (they have all their key codes), or do I have to find another way?

I bought a bunch of desktop computers that came with XP Professional with IBM. I ordered the reinstallation disc, but it worked on one of my computers. Can I get a professional XP disk and install the OS on each individually (they have all their key codes), or do I have to find another way? I don't have the money to buy the recovery for each computer disk.
IBM ThinkCentre

Pentium 4 3.0ghz

512 MB of ram
hard drive 40 GB

XP Professional

As long as the disc you are using is the exact same OEM disc that would be provided by IBM that would work on these computers. It cannot be a copy in the Windows retail.

  • How can I get first remove additional background and restore the original proportions?

    I edited to 15 minutes of video in 1080 p, in the end, I added an image to the sequence in 3000 x 2000 that changed the resolution and the aspect ratio of all the elements of the project. Every single video or image has black bars on the sides. I tried exporting at 1080 p in any case, in the hope that it might cut the surplus, but he just resized the sides black 1080 p so half of the screen is black with a little video in the Center. Zoom in does not work because it is not reset the original proportions. Using the parameters of the sequence to cut away half of the image in 1080 p so that either doesn't work for me. Is there a way to remove and recover the videos of how they have been or have I just lost the last 5 hours?

    After a few hours of research just about anywhere I could think and swearing like a sailor, I managed to find a solution by myself. When you export the media, in the upper left corner, there are options to scale the videos and one of them fixed it for me. Suffice to say in case someone else is having the same problem.

  • I can't get my creative suite 4 to install the new hard drive

    I bought Adobe Creative Suite 4 several years ago and installed on my laptop.  I always use the same laptop, but I recently had install them a new hard drive.  I didn't lose my programs, they said they would just my stuff on an external hard drive and I just could it pass to it.  When I tried to move top photoshop gives me error 6.  I spoke to someone from adobe, and they said they could help me if I had serial numbers.  I've moved several times since then, so if I did not currently drives, but I was able to find discs, as well as the serial number.  I tried to install the disks last night and my computer does not recognize them, it is said that they are blank discs.  These are the same ones that initially I installed the programs, they have not been affected since.  My cd player works fine with any cd I put in it.  Ugh, what can I do?  I spent a lot of money on this program, I can't afford to buy it again.

    At first, I must say that Toshiba recovery image created separately for each laptop model and it is 100% created to work on the specific model. Why?
    Each laptop model has different hardware platform and all the drivers, tools and utilities for some models are part of the recovery image. These recovery images are also tested.

    Generally if the two models have the same hardware platform (hardware) it can be used.

    My sisters thinkpad XP pro is unstable and it has lost its drive.  I can reinstall using my xp pro disk and its product key?

    I fixed it!

    I couldn't work at all Internet Explore.  I finally installed Superantispyware from a USB pendrive and it ran in safe mode without network.  So I ran Malwarebytes and ccleaner.  After a reboot, everything works great again.  I could install Microsoft Security Essentials and get current updates.  After a smart defrag it turns really well now.

    I was able to make a recovery cd set too.  It will be just as good as if I he burned them on a new computer?  I mean can the data used to make these CDs get corrupted over time?  This laptop is 6 years old.
    Thank you for your willingness to help.

  • I can't get updates since SP2 installation and update of the Windows Update Agent.

    I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I have done 3 installs clean for several days and each time I install SP2 and update the Windows Update Agent I can't get updates.  When I click search for updates, it just keeps looking for hours and hours and never stops looking.  I tried several solutions on the internet, including those found here.  Of course, the first thing I did was run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  He could not solve any problems found.  He gave the error code 0 x 80070005.  I installed the SubInAcl.exe and run several different command text and a text of the batch.  The batch text did nothing.  The texts of order had errors of syntax and a file, he could not access.  I ran the System File Checker, and it finds errors, it could not fix.  I just did a clean install on this machine 6 or 8 months ago because I was going to get rid of the computer, so when I put in place I used the username user.  I came across no problem at all when I installed the operating system and update everything.  Since then, I decided to keep the computer, so I wanted to have it in my name.  As I said, this is my 3rd try.  I am willing to give.  Maybe someone here can help.

    I tried two clean installs and I get the same thing.  Once I have installed SP2 and the new Agent update, I can't get more updates.  It keeps only the search for hours without results or error messages.  I tried all of the suggestions I found on the internet, but nothing works.  I get always the same error code 0x80070005, when I run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  There must be a way to solve this problem.  Why I was able to do a clean install of 6 or 8 months without any problems, but now I can't.  It makes no sense at all.  I really hope someone who knows the answer reads this.

    Ralph C.

    I finally got it!  I tried two other proposed solutions, then I ran the System File Checker, which is no problem, then I ran Check Disk.  Check disk found and repaired files in the file system of BITS among others.  After that, I'm now completely up to date with Windows Update.  I was ready to give up.  I'm glad I did not.  For anyone else having similar problems, don't give up, the answer is there.

  • I'm getting a new computer and he won't get any web browser preloaded software. Can I get a CD with Firefox to install?

    I have a new computer that does not have any installed web browser when I acquire. So, I can't download Firefox, say, by using Internet Explorer. Can I get a copy of Firefox on a CD and use instead.

    Hello, Lars.

    Although not related to your problem, I must remind you that the version of Firefox you are using right now has been deleted and is no longer supported. In addition, he has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and ease of use. You can get it for free, as always, to getfirefox.com.

    If you want to buy a CD of Firefox, go here. Remember that Firefox is free software, and you will pay only for the CD itself and the packages and ports. You can download Firefox from where you want, where you want, when you want, and you can share it with whoever you want, always. In my opinion, I think that you simply store the installer of Firefox in a USB key (download it from {[http://getfirefox.com| getfirefox.com], of course}) or a removable storage like this device and then reinstall it from there, the new computer.

    Also and by the way, what OS will? I can't think of any modern operating system that does not have a way to download the software immediately the bat. Windows comes with Internet Explorer, or with a way to download another browser of your choice, Linux has an absolutely brilliant software Center where you can type just Firefox and it will download and install the latest version of Firefox in two clicks (he's genius really), and I think that Mac OS X should have some sort of something like that also. In addition, it comes with Safari, I think. I don't know about Solaris, Unix and other operating systems like that, so I'm just curious.

    In any case, I hope this helps.
