• Can I use the same windows on my virtual machine?

  I had windows pre-installed in my dell laptop (Latitude E6420). I did not have the cd key but I extracted using a program called Magical jelly bean key finder. Now, I have the following information on my windows installation

  Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

  Product no.: XXXXXXXX

  Installed from media "OEM."

  Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXX

  Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
  I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

  Hi Andre,

  Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

  More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

  The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

  Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

• How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

  I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

  Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

  Thank you.

  Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

  Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

• VirtualBox 64-bit inside a virtual machine

  I need to configure a machine virtual 64 bit Windows 8.1 on my VMWare environment.  Inside, I need to run a virtual 64-bit with VirtualBox machine.  I installed Windows on the virtual machine and install VirtualBox, however, I can't show him 64-bit... Only 32-bit.  I added vhv.enable = "TRUE" in the VMX file (seen this somewhere) and assured of Hyper-V has not been installed on the machine Windows 8.1.  Any other suggestions as to what I'm missing?

  You can see this option using the new built-in host client or web client.

• Run the script inside the virtual machine the user when the user connects or reconnects

  Hello

  is it possible to detect the user that the user has connected or reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  It is also possible within the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  One way to do this is via the following powershell command, but this only works if the user is connected through PCoIP Protocol.

  Get-WmiObject-class Win32_PerfRawData_TeradiciPerf_PCoIPSessionGeneralStatistics - SessionDurationSeconds property

  Best regards

  > it is possible to detect the user that the user has connected either reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  You can run scripts as user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See running commands on the desktop view.

  > It is possible inside the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  I don't think that we expose, but you should be able to query Windows for the connection time, or you could write the last time to connect with a script (maybe that is the reason for your first question?).

• How can I print screen without having to download any software?

  There are times I need to print the screen, but our COMPUTER technician doesn't let me download software 'Print Screen'.  Said it could be malicious.  He said that this can be done using components of Windows 7.  It was supposed to show me how, but it's been 2 weeks and he has not yet shown.  Can anyone help?

  well Highbloodpressure1949 you can use the print screen or fn +. print screen on the keyboard, but really want to print the entire screen? If this is not the case, use the SNIP tool in Windows 7.

• Can't print wireless on windows 8

  Original title: Driver not available

  Had some internet problems and when I finally got fixed I could not print wirelessly from my desktop even if they were on the same network.

  I went to remove the device and re install but I couldn't because as the "pilot was not available.

  I tried to download a new driver twice and it still doesn't work.

  Suggestions?

  Hi Devinnn,

  Thanks for posting the question on the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it seems that you are facing a problem when accessing the printer wireless on your computer.

  This problem may occur because of damaged or missing printer drivers

  ,

  It would be great if you could answer these questions to help you more

  1. What is the make & model of the computer?
  2. Do you receive an error message or error code, while accessing the printer?
  3. What is the brand and model of the printer?
  4. Are you able to connect other devices outside the printer wireless?

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check:

  Method 1:   I suggest you ping IP address of the printer and check if you have found the answer for the same thing.

  Ping the wireless printer steps:

  • Windows key + X and select prompt (Admin)
  • In the command prompt window, type ping (IP address) and press on enter and check if packets are received.

  If the problem persists,

  Method 2: Run the printer Troubleshooter and check.

  Open the printer Troubleshooter: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/printer-problems-in-Windows-help#fix-printer-problems=Windows-8&V1H=win8tab1&V2H=win7tab1&V3H=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

• How to make a shared printer on a Windows 7 64-bit machine accessible to a user on a 32-bit XP machine.

  Hello

  I have two Windows machines on a private working group, old stamp. A XP 32-bit, and a 64-bit Windows 7. The Windows 7 machine has a Canon printer attached. The problem is how to give the ability to print to the shared printer on the Windows 7 machine to a user on the XP machine.

  After a day of p____g about, I managed to get the feel of XP machine for the shared printer when I'm logged on two machines. But there is a problem.

  When my wife connects to the XP computer (instead of me), it can not print. His account apparently can 'See' the printer and everything seems to be in order when I discover the properties of the printer, but when it prints, it fails silently. There is no error; printing seems fine, but nothing happens. This happens if I print from Word, Notepad, or even simply the test page in the printer properties.

  I have another printer shared from the Windows 7 machine, and it can print on it without problem.

  The big problem is that I can't follow the 'normal' procedure to add a printer to the XP computer because it tries to install the drivers and then machine claims Windows 7 is not the correct drivers. This is true because the Canon Setup is fully automated and does not provide an option to install the 32-bit drivers alongside 64-bit drivers, so that customers can download.

  Sorry for the length of this post, but I am here in desperation. I lost count of the number of Web sites, I've been to, who claims to have an answer to this problem, to see any of the steps fail. Many solutions rely on the use of residential groups, which I can't do because XP does not know these (I don't think).

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Kind wishes, Patrick

  Check permissions to print on the XP machine (Fortunately, you have XP Pro):

  1. Disable Simple file so sharing is not off (in Windows Explorer > tools > Folder Options > view tab > uncheck "Use Simple file sharing" - low point in the list--> OK your way out)
  2. Start > printers and faxes
  3. Right click on the printer icon and select Properties
  4. Select the Security tab

  You can see who has permissions to the printer.  By default, the "Everyone" group has 'print' permission but none of the other permissions related to printing.  If you want to add a group or an individual user, click the ' Add ' button.  See the following for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/print_limit_accessw.mspx?mfr=true and the topics listed at the bottom of this page.

  To determine if a user is in a group (for example, is the user who cannot print a member of the "Everyone" group), click Start, right-click my computer and select manage.

  In the management console of the computer that opens, select "Local users and groups."  By double-clicking a user, you can select the "Member" tab and see what groups that user is a member.  Similarly, by double-clicking a group, you can see the members of this group.

• Windows in a virtual machine

  Hello

  My X200s new comes with preloaded Vista Business and 3 CD marked as "Rescue and recovery disk for Windows XP" and "Windows XP Professional SP2 product recovery disc 1 & 2", respectively. " I want to repartition the disk, remove Vista in the process, install linux Ubuntu 64-bit, and then install Windows XP in a virtual VMware or VirtualBox machine. The question is, are provided enough CD do a XP install in a virtual machine?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Jakub

  No, you can not install XP on a virtual machine with the CD restore provided with your device. You will need a regular XP installation cd and a number of key valid. It has to do with the fact that the restore cd should see a BIOS generic virtual machine rather than the true BIOS Lenovo and refuse to install.

• New computer with Windows in a Virtual Machine installation

  Hello

  I want to do a clean install on my new computer, so I can run Linux as main OS with Windows 7 on a virtual machine using VirtualBox.

  Is it possible/legal? How can I activate windows?

  EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have an OEM windows license.

  See you soon / Erik

  Yes, the end-user Windows 7 license contract permits.

  2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.

  a. one copy per computer. You can install one copy of the software on a single computer. This computer is "licensed computer.

  b. a computer license. You can use the software on up to two processors of the computer under license at some point. Except as provided in these license terms, you cannot use the software on any other computer.

  c. number of users. Except as provided in these license terms, only one user may use the software at a time.

  d. other Versions. The software may include several versions, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at a time.

  d. use with Virtualization Technologies. Rather than use the software directly on the licensed computer, you can install and use the software within the single virtual (or emulated) system on the licensed computer. When used in a virtualized environment, content protected by digital rights management technology, BitLocker or any hard drive full-volume encryption technology is perhaps not as secure as protected content not in a virtualized environment. You must comply with all national and international laws that apply to such protected content.

  You may need to use the activation of the phone well:

  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.

  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Reinstall Windows XP in Virtual Machine on Windows 7

  I have the Virtual Machine Windows on my OS Windows 7 Professional. This allowed me to install Windows XP on this computer. It worked fine for several months until, from one a few days ago, I cannot access the XP and have been advised by Microsoft to simply re - install the XP software and start again. When I try this, I said that the first step is to download and run a MS file named GenuineCheck.exe which is supposed to validate my system. When I try to run it, a note comes up saying that this file is obsolete. Do a little digging online, I told myself that this ony file works if you have Windows XP. What the definition of Catch 22? I have an XP corrupted in my virtual machine, so, technically, I have Windows XP. Any ideas on how I can be validated?

  If you do not store a copy of the Windows XP Mode Setup file?

  WindowsXPMode_en-we

  Click Start, type: programs and features

  Press enter

  Scroll down and select Windows XP Mode, click Change/uninstall in the command bar

  Restart when you have finished, and then try the installation again.

  If you don't have a copy of the installer, you need to download again in Windows 7 Professional and reinstall:

  Both Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC can be downloaded from http://www.windows.com/business/downloads.
