Can I install the same Windows XP on a laptop computer in our House, by using the Windows XP program that is installed on our desktop computer?

I am updating a laptop for my preschooler to use older.  It has Windows 2000 on it and I have Windows XP on it.  We have Windows XP on our desktop computer and I wonder if I can use the same software for the laptop using the product key.  I can't find the Windows XP disk, I do not believe that we got with our desktop system.

I'm sorry, but you can't.  Desktop software and the product key is not valid on any other computer.

    The book you bought is for an older version of DW.  Which one, I don't know.  Changed a lot in the 2013, 2014 in June and October 2014,1 releases of CC.  Books are usually at least 1 version and sometimes 2 obsolete versions.

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

  • Where can I download chess for Windows 7 program. __

    Where can I download chess for Windows 7 program.
    Is there any windows update provide this?

    -Prasanth Vijayan

    All versions of Windows 7 come with games such as Chess Titans. If you can't find them, maybe they are just turned off. To activate:

    1. click on Start Orb (lower-left) and then Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. look for the entry called games & put a tick in the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    I hope that your Windows games should now appear.

    I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)
