Can I get an installation Win XP Pro Update CD includes SP3? The one I have now is pre - SP2 and reinstalling the operating system takes 4-EVER!
My existing Windows XP Pro installation CD is almost a decade, and it precedes SP2. It's a nightmare, whenever I have to reinstall the operating system as ut takes a day or two to download Microsoft updates. Is it possible to replace my installation CD with a newer version, including a number of post-SP3 updates and SP3?
You do this using a technique called "slipstreaming". You start with a genuine XP installation CD and add in the necessary service packs and updates.
If your CD-ROM is sp1 or 1A, you can just slipstream sp3. If you have XP 'or' (pre - sp1), it is more complicated.
There are many websites that explain how to do this. Google for "slipstream sp3 of xp" or something similar.
This site claims to have a script that will create a slipstreamed XP sp3 and all post-sp3 CD critical updates (description wrongly "sp2"). I the have not used and do not have any information on how easy it is or if she actually does what it says.

HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?
The printer works at all with this cable?
The cable has recognized and installed by Windows XP when you logged on to the computer?
If the cable has been recognized, what steps have you taken to install the printer then (be as accurate and complete as possible)?
You get an error message? If so, please provide, without paraphrasing.
This printer has already been installed on this computer? If so, with what type of connection?
And especially, what is the brand and model of the USB to parallel cable? Many of them do not work. See, for example, the comments here , which suggests that 25% of the units will simply not work. This seems to be one of these products you should buy at a local store, rather than on the Internet, then you can continue taking it back until you get a working unit.

Can I use Lightroom CC between two Macs with different versions of the operating system
I have the CC for photographers. I keep my work to Dropbox LR catalog and access them from my MacBook Air laptop or my desktop iMac computer. Currently, two computers are running the same version of Mac OS. I think to upgrade the laptop for the new OS of Sierra, but because the office is older, I thought maybe not upgrade (it is near the minimum end of systems that can run Sierra). Can someone tell me if there is a conflict with the help of the LR catalog between two computers if they are not both running the same version of Mac OS. When the catalog is saved in the operating system that you are starting, it would still be compatible for use on the computer with the previous version of Mac OS? Thank you! Barbara
If the machines use the same version of the software, then the files should be feasible in both machines.

where can I get drivers for win 7 pro 64 on a portable hp2000 2c29wm?
Hi all, thanks for your help in advance.
I have baught a new laptop of hp2000-2c29wm and the love machine. HATE win 8 on this subject. I installed win 7 pro 64-bit on the machine but can not find the drivers anywhere. I checked the hp site and come alone with 1 BIOS update, 2 diagnostic updates for UEFI, tools-utility software-multimedia and 1 1. I need drivers for audio, display, wireless, ethernet, the whole shebang. have tried a little around the net with no luck. tried the instrument manufacturer sites with no luck.
Maybe my research have failed. I'm about to return the machine.
Thanks again, Chris

Bought Office Acrobat 11 DC Pro to my PC running Windows 7 - I have more than enough RAM and storage, but get the message: "this application cannot be installed on this operating system. The installation program will end now. Please refer to the minimum requirements to... "Can't determine the location on the Adobe Web site to get answers. Any suggestions?
I deleted an earlier version of Acrobat Pro from my computer. Still, I get the same message.
Hi John,.
Please specify if you have purchased DC Acrobat or Acrobat 11 or upgrade you to the latest patch for Acrobat 11, that is to say 11.0.11 so that we can help you accordingly.
I wonder if you have checked your system requirements before you download Acrobat.
I would also ask to share with you the screenshot of the error message with us.
You could probably uninstall Acrobat using cleaning tool. Here is the link for the same thing.

Hello
Contact Acer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or ACER Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
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

No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 or 64 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.
