Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?
I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly. I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero? So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded). The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine. This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?
Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

I have a Dell computer, with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed in the factory. There is a product code for windows on the sticker on the box. My problem is that the motherboard and CPU are released. I intend to replace and update the motherboard failed and cpu, ram, power supply, optical drive and eventually put in a larger hard drive. From what I read, I can not simply start the machine with the original hard drive, with windows already installed and activated. So if I wipe the hard drive (or put it in a new), can I clean install Windows 7 and then just use the product key on the sticker on the box to activate the new installation? Or what I need to buy a new copy of Windows 7?
I've also read on other threads, that you can "transfer" a license of Windows 7 on a different machine only if it is a "commercial" version, not OEM. If the version of Windows that is preinstalled on a Dell computer would be "retail" or "OEM"? And to reactivate the software on a rebuilt/updated machine up-to-date with the new motherboard, etc. would constitute a 'transfer to a new machine' or reactivation just on a computer upgraded?
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

I always ran Microsoft Genuine product and would like to know how to reach a genine advantage accreditation with my present prediciment. Any help would be appreciated and we thank you in advance.
Hi KevinDitner,I'm afraid, but you can't do that. Your product key Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) should be used only for the laptop which came with it.You can get the CD of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) by contacting the Support team customer Microsoft.More information on: -

I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot. Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do? I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?
Hello
You can't do what you want to do
32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista
It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate
and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive
You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

Can I use my original product key for one. ISO downloaded from torrent?
I own a HP Pavilion dv6 came pre-installed with Win 7 - SP1. It of almost 3 years and have become very slow & does not. He deserves better HARD drive format integer & clean installation. So, a few days before I tried to create a restore of the media. But the message was the recovery cannot be created once & was even created prior to my computer. I absolutely do not remember having the Media Recovery created before. Went to the HP forum as the preinstalled Windows not supported Microsoft. They have provided links in multiple threads to download. ISO file. But all servers are down & I couldn't find one. ISO file to download. So, I thought that to restore the system until the servers are on the rise again. Yesterday I tried the system restore. While the system restore worked, suddenly the program have been broken between the two & restarted the laptop. As soon as the screen came, the message was "Boot Manager is missing:(".). Really, I can't wait until the servers are up because I need it for my daily work activities. What is the solution?
Because of the urgency, I asked one of my friends to get one. ISO downloaded torrent. Now, I'll have the. ISO downloaded torrent. Can I install this torrent OS and replace the product key of mine?
Thank you

Whether or not you can find your backup 'Restore media', you can restore to factory state using the integrated HP utility on the computer. The procedure is on the manual of your computer & also on the HP website.
'Restore media' is a utility from HP if you need to go to the computer's documentation to find out exactly what it is. It is quite likely to do a backup of a HP built-in utility to restore your computer to its State "factory". You may find that the computer has prompted to do this backup 'Restore Media' when you first received the computer. If you lost it then you still have the integrated method of origin for the restoration of the "factory" that HP put on your computer. The idea of backup 'Restore media' is to give you a second method to do this restoration 'factory' and to be able to do if you need to replace the hard drive.

Can I use an old product key to activate another windows 7?
Recently, master of my old laptop broke down and I bought a new laptop. However all data and files I need are still in the old hard drive so I want to continue to use the old hard drive. (It is also bigger than new btw: p)
Probably because of the double-system(Windows 7 together with Ubuntu), I can't start Windows when I directly connect the old hard drive on my new laptop.
Now, I want to know if I could format the Volume of C of the old drive and re - install Windows 7 because I'm afraid that I can't turn it on again. Moreover, it is sold at retail Windows 7 Professional.
Can someone help me with this? Thank you very much!
If it is indeed a complete Windows 7 Pro commercial license, then you should have no problem of reactivation in the new machine - however, there may be problems with the drivers and you should check the Web site of the manufacturer for the appropriate drivers for Windows 7
You may need to use telephone activation.

How can I use Adobe and a camera at the same time?
I am a musician and I put to read sheet music and record with the camera to the IPad. But whenever I left the window of the camera and switch to Adobe agani, the camera stop recording.
I can't save IM reading the notes of music at Adobe.
I use Air from the IPad.
Nobody helps me?
Thank you.
Hi Edusax,
It seems to be the limitation of the device because it doesn't have the split screen function to use two applications at the same time.
You will need two devices else you can print the PDF to read sheet music.
Kind regards

Can I use conditional and advanced actions on the same button?
I'm fairly new to Captivate, but come from a flash background and I do of Captivate to do certain things, that I expected to be straightforward and a normal requirement.
I want to create a screen with a number of interactive objects, in this case photos, it's the learner clicks on to display a text element.
By clicking on the following image, the first piece of text is hidden and a second piece shown.
There are 6 images/buttons which have to work in this way.
However, I also want to determine if all the buttons have been used, as we force the user to view the entire slide before you continue.
I can do the hide/show text and buttons, and I wrote a conditional action to check the variables for each button. However I do not know how and when to appeal to this action.
I was hoping that in my Advanced action for each button, I could add in a call to the conditional action "record"variables", which would be very well fulfil this requirement, however this doesn't seem to be the case."
I also animation/effects on the timeline before the images are on the meaning of screen I want to go back to the beginning of the timeline to use an event "on enter.
I am surprised that this isn't something that people most need because while it may be frowned upon outside in the field of e-learning, disabled navigation is frankly not will disappear and working for a large corporation will be a must.
If anyone can shed some light on this, or perhaps suggest a better approach then I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.
Of course, it is possible. This is the approach I explained (for previous versions):
http://blog.lilybiri.com/template-for-reusing-script
The models that I offered it, were invited to a lot of times and are used all over the world, which is funny
I also have templates for CP6 and 7, but has stopped offering everything for free. And 7, you can have all the shares shared in a library that can be used as external library... just a tip: http://blog.lilybiri.com/new-features-in-captivate-7-dot-01
Agreement on controls on effects for paths, please submit a feature request as many have already done to have the most control over the coordinate without having to change the XML file.
It would be nice to have timed events. Jim Leichliter has a widget (only for the SWF) which allows some scripted events. The interaction of timer that can do as well, but is not very accurate because after that time there is always a lag of about 2 seconds.
http://blog.lilybiri.com/events-and-advanced-actions tells us about the available events.
Sorry for all these links, but advanced actions are my passion, since they appeared with 4. They are limited, all right, but I managed to convince many users to give them a try at different levels. Would love to train more users for this "point-and-click" approach that does not really need programming skills, but only a logical mind.

Using WHS and Windows 7 on the same machine.
I searched and discovered that WHS is running on Vsphere, but this
my situation and what I was wondering. I just bought these components:
GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3P
Intel Core i7-860
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4 GB model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
ASUS EAH4350 SILENT/DI/512MD2 (LP) Radeon HD 4350
LG Black 8 X BD - ROM 16 X DVD-ROM - model CH08LS10
Now I would like to run WHS on a virtual image and Windows 7 on
another. I will be ripping my blu - ray and DVD and I have plan of encoding
paste them into a mastroska or mp4 file. If I store the files on the WHS image,
There will be problems, their diffusion to the image of Windows 7 or any other
another computer on the network?
Now, I know that the realtek cards are not taken in charge, is there a custom
d 8111, if not if I buy a new network card. I'll be able to
create a raid-5 on this forum and have whs recognize it? Can also
use multiple monitors in vsphere? I also wanted to install vsphere
on a USB key, which will affect in anyway?
Thanks for any help.
Hello, yes you can easily run WHS and Win7 on a same machine, but...
I'm not sure that ESXi is the hypervisor desired for this project. With ESXi, you can access ANY virtual machine console directly - all that the local display is the shell for ESXi very plain text mode. There is the possibility to cross a second adapter to a virtual machine using vmDirectPath I guess, but there's always the keyboard and mouse. Essentially, any race VM services network (only), or that the RDP access or other.
After what has been said, you could however plan to run Win7 host operating system (such as the computer is essentially just a PC Win7), and then to run WHS as a virtual machine in Virtual PC or vmware Workstation.
Anyway you'd probably want to 8 GB of RAM in the box. Another issue is the affirmation of disc - is one of the most beautiful features of WHS Drive Extender, then you probably want to either assign virtually complete drives individually. Balancing OF can create a good amount of disk IO when it runs every hour and could easily bog down the host if it executes all of the same SATA drive.
HTH
Please give points for any helpful answer.
