• Problems with colors on the screen after installing the new motherboard Vista

  Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit wrong colors.  Monitor works fine.  If a monitor has checked and all colors were there.  Had installed a new motherboard.  Worked well for fivedays then the colors red and green disappeared again.

  * original title - want to get the correct colors on my display/ecran.*

  You don't say where the motherboard has come: the Mamufacturer of the computer, or that you buy yourself.

  Take the correct option:

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/motherboard > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  See you soon.

• After installing the new motherboard old HDD work and give the new product key?

  I have an OEM version of Windows 7 64 bit installed and fully updated and work.

  If I change the notherboard (and the CPU but nothing else) and plug in the old HARD drive it will work?  I noticed that it will not be installed from scratch, but others say that if she is already innstalled and active, it will work.  Others say that Microsoft will release a new product key but are denied by those who say that I have to buy a new version of Windows.

  Also the question of the drivers for the new Board of directors etc - it just install them from the M/B drive when I start first?

  Unfortunately, no.

  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

• Re-using windows 7 oem on the new motherboard

  Hello I know that this question was asked a little, but I ask. I have my code and my physical drive. Right now, my windows is installed on my current motherboard. But I'm going to update my motherboard, CPU and GPU. I contacted I'd say customer live chat was not sure about it. But the person said I could use my key on a new motherboard, I just uninstall windows from my current which I was going to do. I see mixed comments on the OEM version of some people saying that it cannot be used on a system on this map a mother and can not be reused never on anything else. And others say that you can use it on a different build just uninstall etc.  I'm not seriously having to spend $100 on another windows just to update some parts.

  Hello

  Sorry to disappoint, but according to the terms of the license, a new motherboard is a new computer. The OEM of Windows version you have currently is linked to your existing motherboard. The only way you could 'reuse' it would be if you took the existing motherboard and built a new system around this motherboard and processor. It would be different if you had a full retail version of Windows 7, which is authorized to the user, so it can travel with you.

  Hope this clears the contradictory messages that you saw.

  Kind regards

• Windows 7 OEM on the new motherboard

  I own and Compaq Presario SG3-130UK and have recently bought a new motherboard (to add more components).

  I currently have Windows 7 Home Premium OA, and I was wondering when I put in my new motherboard, the copy of windows remains the same? Or I have to buy a new copy? And if you buy a new copy, all my files and programs will remain the same?

  Thank you very much.

  Yes, that's what I was afraid of.

  Your new motherboard is too different to use the configuration on your hard drive to boot.

  You will need to do a clean install of Windows 7 and reinstall all your programs and files.

• Install the new motherboard on my HP computer and cannot activate my license of Windows XP Media Center 2005.

  My original motherboard has been damaged, I had bought a very new and different motherboard to fix the problem.

  Windows does not allow activation because I imagine that the key is already used by my original activation.  The system does not have same me to log in windows.

  Yesterday, I spoke with Microsoft staff by phone and they told me that the license is linked to the original HP motherboard and so they could not reactivate my license and I have to get a new license.

  I thought that the XP license was perennially valid as long that you have kept the machine and if you have changed parts, all you have to do is call Microsoft and explain the change to reactivate the license.  I think that change a motherboard that has failed is not reason to not to reactivate my original license.

  I had another license for my MSDN subscription, if it's true that I can not reactivate my license due to change of motherboard, is there a way to get into my MSDN license key and activate without reinstalling windows and all software currently on the machine?

  Change the motherboard on a computer would be as...  Change your body with someone elses.
   
  MSDN licenses are for test purposes.  What is a production machine?

• OEM Version of Win7 re-installing the new motherboard.

  I had already purchased a HP computer and want to update my motherboard, undesirable, provided with the original system OEM license will not allow update me my motherboard, because it requires a certified HP motherboard. If I create a disk image of my OS, wiped the entire disk from the recovery partition too and re-installed Windows, I'll always be able to install windows without the OEM license, as if a version normal/retail of windows?

  Or should I buy a commercial version and go from there?

  You can buy an OEM version is linked to the motherboard.

  I hope this helps.

  Portable Hi down tried restore none tried to install the new copy off vista prem with no joy only error 0x8007000D comes WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN THE REQUIRED FILE of joy

  Hi jamesgillwn,

  1. when exactly you get this error message?
  2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
  3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
  4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

  After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

  First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

  To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

  Try the steps from the following link:

  Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

  Note: When you perform the installation, you will lose the data, make sure that you need to backup your data before you perform the installation.

• Installed the new HD - cannot set up (XPS 400)

  Hello and congratulations in advance for anyone who can help me with this!

  Recently, my Dell XPS 400 crashed and would no longer boot (it worked, but it wouldn't boot because of damage to the discs dual-core).  I decided to buy a new HD to replace the old thinking that would solve my problem... not so much.  So here's what I've done and the question:

  (1) I took out a secondary drive, replaced by my OLD main drive

  (2) I installed the NEW drive into the slot where my OLD main drive used to reside

  (3) for the reset, I reached a display using the key CTRL-I command that told me that I now had a disc in which I could use to 'mirror' of the old drive, which is now bootable.  Of course, I followed the instructions to do this in order to get my computer started.

  (4) while the process worked, it seems that my NEW drive disappeared completely and I have not reached my goal to replace my old hard drive AND my computer, it starts now, always gives me error messages and does not occur at the height.

  Can someone help with this problem who is familiar with what I'm on everything?  I would be eternally grateful!

  Theoretically, I want to do is to completely replace the hard drive with my new drive, use the old BACKUP disk as the new secondary drive and plug the OLD external drive for me to remove files that I need them.  A small crease is that I do not have the Windows XP disks for the software that came with my old computer and I am unable to get them, however, I don't have the disks copied on a separate disk, which seemed to work for the resettlement, but I'm not sure of whether or not it would work on a hard drive completely blank.

  In any case, could someone provide any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Linux has to read your old files very well.  It is not the OS, you need to worry, but instead, the applications you want to use.  For example, you were using different Microsoft Office to create data files, you would find that in order to make the use of these old files, you need something that is compatible with Microsoft Office to read or modify.  Fortunately, there are applications that can do it.  Open Office is one of them, and I'm fairly certain that they have a version that runs on Linux.  The only thing you will not be able to do it is using Microsoft Office because it will not install on Linux.  You will encounter similar problems with each type of file that you created.  In most cases, you will be able to find compatible substitutes for original programs, but there are exceptions.

  EDIT: I have to say that I forgot to mention that I'm talking about Windows XP in the paragraphs above with regard to service packs.  If you use Vista or later, the Council does not apply.

  I have heard many good things about the different themes of Linux, but like anything else, I'm sure he has his own set of problems.  Most people seem to not run into them very often, and many just love it because it helps to avoid many problems presented by Windows.

  If you really want to go back to Windows, and people of Dell cannot accommodate you at a price you will find reasonable, you could try e - Bay or similar online store.  It is my understanding that a lot of people sell their old floppy disks to install OEM Dell through this kind of output.  You need an installation CD of Windows from Dell that incorporates at least Service Pack 2, and Service Pack 3 would be nice.  The old installation diskettes don't work well on many computers produced since 2005 because of the change of PCI - e for the video.  Older drives simply do not have the drivers for the PCI-e bus.  If your computer is old enough to use AGP or earlier, it is not so much a problem.

  The computer is always looking for your old disks because the BIOS setting told him to do.  When you delete a record permanently, you should return to the controller settings in the system setup (F2 during the automatic test after a start screen) and stop the ports having no disc attached.  This allows the BIOS to know to ignore these ports.

  EDIT: I have to say that I forgot to mention that I wrote about Windows XP in the present paper dealing with service packs.  Floppy disks to install Windows occurs more early than those with Service Pack 2 have no drivers for video PCI-e which is used on most computers since 2005.  You don't need to worry about this problem for Vista or later version.
