• Cannot activate the 3rd computer with Windows 7 Family pack

  I have three computers and all were running licensed copied of Vista. I bought the "Family Pack" upgrade to Windows 7. I have implemented customized installs on all machines - no problem. Activate the first two online perfectly. The third party will not activate so I used the method of the phone. The automated waiting requires the 9 key series of 6 figures and said so I have to answer the questions. The first question is "how many computers have you installed this license on? The answers will take you to a report that says: "we're sorry, but you do not meet the requirements of this license." I am invited to stay online to get help and the system is then said "we cannot help you at this time, please call back."

  I tried 12 times over a period of three days - all times of day and night. Same result. I don't know of any way around that. I know that I have 30 days to activate, but I don't want to wait.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Try to say 2 when asked how many computers have you installed license on.  Maybe it's that this license is not installed until after you enable.  Just a thought.

• cannot activate windows vista ultimate 64-bit it says error code: 0xc004E003

  cannot activate windows vista ultimate 64-bit it says error code: 0xc004E003

  Hi Jarska,

  ·        You did changes to the computer recently before the issue started?

  ·        If your computer came pre-installed with Windows Vista, or you don't have it installed separately?

  You receive this error 0xC004E003 when the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed on your computer. You can access the link below and follow the steps in method C and check if that helps you solve the problem of activation. If the C method does not work, you can follow the steps in method G and try activation using the automated phone system.

• XP computer does not access the Vista computer on the home network.

  I have a three home computers I'm trying to set up using two with XP - Pro (all updates including SP3 installed) and a third with Vista Home Premium (SP2 installed, all the updates that are installed to date). The two XP machines can connect (access) between them, but they cannot access the Vista machine. The Vista Machine can access the two XP machines. I've tried every tip/trick that I can find so far and nothing. Ping on each pc test, uninstalled the Norton firewall, permisions changed part to the best of my knowledge on all PCs, I am the owner of the computer and to assume with a single account on Vista I have right to full ownership, contacted the manufacturer of routers (performed an upgrade), but nothing is allowing access to the Visat pc.  When you view the network connections on the XP machines, Vista is listed, I can click to open and see the folders to share, but when I try to open a file I get the error\\xxx\xx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact. admin of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied.

  It's funny that I can find other users to comment on other forums that they are experincing the opposite scenrio with access denied on XP machines... Thanks in advance for any help...

  Hello

  Uninstall any software antivirus and then check to see if you can access the Vista computer again.

  Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software.
  If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• Question of ' system cannot activate the graphics performance "T400

  Hi all

  I have a ThinkPad T400 with Switchable Graphics, running Windows 7 x 64, with the latest drivers provided by Lenovo.  I tried to go to the ATI graphics card today for the first time in a little and got a message "system cannot activate the graphics performance", invites me to disable all external video connections or disable all graphics applications.

  The problem is, I don't have any open application.  I disabled several startup programs, uninstalled VMWare Workstation and tried several services, I thought that might interfere with the manual - still no luck switching.  I'll reinstall the driver, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas, or find a resident program that tempt me not not to be able to switch from Intel for the ATI graphics card?

  I believe that after checking the system logs, the error was somewhere in libraries Visual C++ Runtime. I decided at this point, that the question was too difficult to follow and with Service Pack 1 available, I saved and reloaded. Problem solved.

  Hi mate

  The Toshiba pre-installed Vista OS has already been activated.

  AFAIK if you upgraded the operating system Vista to Win 7 using the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit then a Win 7 must be already activated and does not need to be enabled separately

• Help, please! A master hard disk partition information lost and cannot start the Vista system

  I have Vista with my dell desktop computer.  I guess I got a virus that has deleted/messed my main hard drive.  All of sudden my computer was dead and when I try to restart, I found I can't boot the system.  I loaded the DVD for the resettlement of Dell to come with the computer and try to install it.  But it shows "Disk 0 unallocated space" with 222 GB and 'Disk 0 Partition 2 Recovery' with 10 GB.  I could not install Vista on the first, as it says "Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

  How could I solve this problem?  I could not allow me to format the drive because there a lot of data, that I just can't lose.

  Any help is very welcome!

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

• Cannot access the name \\computer 0 error code x 80070035 using 2 machines Win 7 Professional x 64

  Makes me crazy!

  State of the computer 1: Norton 360 on. Wired Ethernet for Linksys router. This Computer Configuration initially homegroup. User name and password on both machines. 2 computer can see this machine as expected - sweet!

  State of the computer 2: uninstalled Norton 360. Windows Firewall is off. Wired Ethernet for Linksys router. User name and password on both machines. This computer cannot be seen by computer 1 grrrrr!

  I left home group on both machines several times without success. Several reboots. Convenience stores are worthless. I tried a lot of things posted on this forum and others. My Win 7 machines see my XP machines without problem. All computers in the same workgroup. I can ping computer 2 1 computer and vice versa.

  Earlier this week, it's the opposite problem. 2 computer could not see Computer1. Even old 'advanced sharing' has failed. After 3 days of forums and try things, I reinstalled Win 7 on both computers and everything was fine. Very painful and I am reluctant to reinstall all my software until this problem is fixed permanently.

  Does anyone have a short solution to reinstall Win 7?

  Any ideas why it continues to be? I set up a wireless network first network printer, and then wired, then to the USB. I uninstalled all the software of printer, but that did not help.

  Hi Jack_W,

  Since you are able to see and access computer 2 1 computer and unable to see the computer from computer 1 2. I suggest you first with the computer to check if network discovery is enabled on the computer.

  To turn on network discovery

  1. Open advanced sharing settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click network and sharing Center, and then in the left pane, click change advanced sharing settings.

  2. click on the chevron to expand the current network profile.

  3. If network discovery is off, under the Discovery Network, click turn on network discovery, and then click save changes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Also, you can access the link and follow the steps and check if it helps to see the computer 2.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/why-can-t-I-connect-to-other-computers

  You can also check if you can access computer computer 2 1 by opening with the command run and typing in the IP address of computer 2.

  To do this, follow the steps in the computer 1.

  1. Click Start
  2. In the start menu search box type computer 2 \\ipaddress\ and press on enter for example: \\192.168.0.2\

  Check if it opens and connects to the computer 2 in the network.

  Also, you can try to start the computer in safe mode with network and see if they can see each other.  To boot to the desktop in safe mode with network keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start it in safe mode with select network and press ENTER.

  Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode:

• Cannot find the "My Computer" icon; I have icon "Computer" but it is NOT THE SAME as "My Computer"... Help!

  I'm looking for the "My Computer" icon. I do not have the icon workstation; I made the different "tasks and tips" to supposedly turn on and I DO HAVE ICON CALLED 'COMPUTER' ON MY DESKTOP.  However, 'COMPUTER' is not equal to ' MY COMPUTER ' on this system.

  The 'My Computer', I want TO open a box with the usual File, Edit, View, Favorites, tools, and help under the blue bar containing the words 'My Computer' and the image of the icon in the left corner.   I want to choose 'Tools' that will 'gray out', the 'back' and 'forward' buttons and leaves an icon file with blue-green arrow pointing to the sky, research (with the microscope icon), folders (with the icon files) and a multi-dropdown button in the next line of command icons.  Below, is address, which should show the icon and the words of my computer.  Under the present is called 'Folder Options' box with 3 three topics on the left: tasks system, other places, and details. the first item under details, Workstation should be written in bold black.  On the upper area of the Folder Options, there are 4 four tabs: general, opinion, Types of files and offline files.  In the 'View' tab, I should be able to see the views of folders on top with 2 two buttons (apply to all records and reset all folders) and a list drop down in the bottom; advanced settings one of these subfolders in advanced settings should be: files and folders hidden.  I should be able to select that subfolder and get two 2 options: do not show the hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders, I would choose.

  The "Computer" icon that appears is called 'Computer' and opens the box with options to organize, System properties, uninstall or change a program, map network drive, and open the Panel control and it shows different drives on the computer, devices, network, and other information.

  Can someone tell me PLEASE how to access "My Computer"?  And, if it is a really stupid question, I apologize in advance.  But I've looked everywhere I know to look and I'm not.  Thank you very much.

  So the answer to my question is, "Yes, * I * am coming from an older operating system."  (I was wondering if your experience which has been remote or not).

  The problem is that many of the features of the file Explorer (it is really what we're talking about here) / appearance changed with Vista / Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 in the ~ 13 years since the release of Windows XP you are looking at the example of what it should look like you.  ;-)

  The 'my computer' in Windows XP does not exist (as it was in Windows XP.)  The look of crayola disappeared.

  File Edition display tools help

  Close all open windows 'computer '.

  Open a window 'computer '.

  Click on 'Tools' (after you press ALT while in 'Computer' and carries it) and choose "Folder Options".

  'View' tab there, I suggest you choose the following (Check/select, uncheck all the options not mentioned) under the "Advanced settings..."

  • Always show menus
  • File to display on the photos icon
  • Displays the size of file in folder tips
  • Display the full path in the title bar (Classic theme only)
  • Do not show hidden files, folders or drives
  • Hide the protégés of the files of the operating system (recommended)
  • Windows folders in a separate process of launch
  • See drive letters
  • See the encrypted or NTFS compressed color
  • View the description of pop-up for the folder and desktop items
  • The Wizard (recommended) sharing
  • Select the element type in the view

  Once these are the only elements to be activated, click on 'Apply' at the bottom and then click "Apply to folders" to the top of the window and then click 'OK' at the bottom.

  The top of the 'Computer' window, choose 'View' and see if there is a check mark next to the "Status bar" in the menu drop-down selection.  If it is, leave it alone (press ESC on your keyboard) if it is not one, click it.  The next time you select the 'View' menu, there should be a checkmark next to the "status bar".

  Read this.  It will help you to get used to the new way (beyond XP) use 'File Explorer' ('computer')...

• "Cannot activate the recorder. Try to reset the camera. »

  Hello, I have recently acquired Adobe CS5 first for my new PC, which is a 64-bit system running on Windows 7 Lenovo. The camera, that I try to import clips is a Panasonic AG-DVX100B, recorded in 24 p advanced footage. When I connect the FireWire devices, I opened the first Pro and set the settings accordingly (which would be settings standard/widescreen 24 p, right?), and in the Capture window, I get the above message, "can not activate the recorder. Try to reset the camera. »

  For the life of me, I can't find any settings on the camera that I have to change to make it work. I even captured through Windows Movie Maker/Photo Gallery. No problem, no problem, so it may not be the FireWire card, right? I even changed version of Legacy IEEE 1394 settings and still no luck. On Premiere Pro, I even tried using settings different just to see if 'something' would work. I even followed solutions to this problem on the Adobe site and still can't make it work. Currently, I don't have an internet connection, so I could not update first since I got it a month ago, and I have not all speakers to my PC yet, so there is about his work. I don't think one of these is the cause of the problem?

  On another note, I looked around the forums and came across a fellow who has had a similar problem on a PC of Lenova, and it turns out the only solution was to buy another computer together and it has worked for him then. Would be another question, someone else a first Pro CS5 for a Lenovo PC? And it works? Or y at - it some compatibility issue with the two that I should know about? I don't want to pay for another computer or need to switch to Sony Vegas, so if I could get any help on this, would be great.

  I'm fairly new to video editing and have not used Premiere Pro or After Effects in the past, so I hope there is something incredibly easy and simple, I forgot.

  Thank you.

  Well, then after researching further, I discovered that you really need a peripheral audio output so that it works. Plugged in headphones and seizes it like a charm... kind of a weird bug I guess, but I'm just glad it's working now.
