However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Error message "the system cannot find the environment option that was entered.

    I'm having a problem to launch programs on my system. I have Windows vista. Whenever I try to run any program on my computer, I get an error message that says: "the system could not find the environment option that was entered." He won't let me do things like: update of the parental control settings, System Restore, uninstall programs, install downloads, run antivirus software, ect. I tried to use the advice given in this forum without success. The system won't let me use the run as Administrator option and no longer recognizes my account administrator. I've lost my Vista boot drive, so I can't use it to repair the computer. I am at the end of the roll and can't not think of anything else to do, but my computer reset it back to default settings. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you have a recovery disk (unless you have an already or that you have an Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc) using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning like software: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and of course a blank CD.  This recovery disk will allow you to do the Startup Repair and system restore. You may need to change the BIOS to do the CD drive first in the boot sequence.  It was boot the PC and wait for the screen where it shows the F key to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the change, save your work and exit.  Insert the CD into the drive and restart.  When you are prompted, press a key to start the PC.

    Try a system restore to a point BEFORE this problem started to occur.  Here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If this does not work, try an earlier point or two.

    If this does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc or your recovery disk. Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.

    If you don't have a floppy, you can make a recovery disk to http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ using a burning like software: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and of course a blank CD.  This recovery file is just as good as one that comes with Vista, but it can't do a reinstall.  You can do a system restore or startup repair or even use the command prompt.  Boot from the CD may be your only option, because you are not an administrator and therefore cannot do these functions in normal mode.

    Let's see if it works before moving on to other troubleshooting options.

    Good luck and I hope this works!

  • Tecra R850 with Windows WXP - cannot use the FN key

    Hello

    On a Tecra R850, I can't use the FN key. I installed all the drivers for toshiba and they does'nt work

    Help

    Thank you

    Hello

    All this is a bit complicated with WXP and it is important to install everything in the right installation order. After some base such as chipset, display and sound drivers you need to install the common modules at the beginning and continue with Toshiba-specific tools and utilities like controls, screen, energy saving and so on.

    You can use a combination of FN keys or none of them does not work?

  • What can I reinstall/upgrade Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade CD that I bought?

    Please help me with the steps I must follow to upgrade/reinstall my Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I bought the upgrade CD, but I keep reading that I can't upgrade, I have to re - install.  How do, or have I just wasted my money?

    Thank you

    David

    The two DVD come in the box of Vista Ultimate.  The same upgrade key works for both.  The procedure is to let the 32-bit version on the hard drive for the verification of license and a custom installation will work.  The hardware hash will be the same and the product key is the same for the activation servers to happen anyway as a repair installation.

  • Can I install a copy of Windows 7 retail and use the OEM key that came with my system to activate it?

    Help me asus laptop n55sf
    I bought asus n55sf notebook, The OEM OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) it comes preinstalled without any image or cd and I want to ask to download an original copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from microsoft using the key provided with the laptop

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    My Native Extension use Google Services play and rely on support android v4. Google services functions perfectly works play (for example: I am able to save the token with the google cloud features).

    I've seen this problem in another thread in github and seems that they solve it, but it does not fit my case. It's like in the publication of flash support android v4 is "removed". I say this because I tried to decompile the generated apk and I discovered that sources exist (like com / / thing, com, google, android, gms /...) BUT not the android/support/v4 /... On the contrary, seems that the apk build contains only the android/support/v7/appcompat/R.java (.java because is decompiled). In the .ane file, I have the Android - support.v4.jar and also the contents of platform.xml to/META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM. In the platform.xml I have this:

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"? >

    " < platform xmlns =" http://ns.Adobe.com/air/extension/4.0 ">

    < packagedDependencies >

    < packagedDependency >android-support - v4.jar< / packagedDependency >

    < packagedDependency >google-game - services.jar< / packagedDependency >

    < / packagedDependencies >

    < packagedResources >

    < packagedResource >

    com.Google.Android.GMS < packageName > < / packageName >

    < folder_name > google-game-services-res < / FolderName >

    < / packagedResource >

    < / packagedResources >

    < / platform >


    In the eclipse project, I tried to register the library of v4 support in all possible ways, such as addiction, external jar, or kept as a defult library in the libs folder. Nothing works...


    I really can't understand hot to fix this crazy...

    I just discover the problem... just crazy!

    It was caused by the version of android.support.v4.jar. I did a test now, for some reason any magic, using one I had before (I got it, in Eclipse, with a right click on the library project, Android tools > add Media Library, it was not recognized). Then, I tried with the other two different versions of android.support.v4.jar, and this solved the problem as if by magic! Just to say, using the method add the support library, the size of the file android.support.v4 was 1.2 MB, the other two versions were respectively 759 KB and 628 kb, according to their version. I expected that this library has been correctly added by eclipse, also relying on the target of androd in the project.properties, but does not appear. Hope this might help someone.

    PS: like all the other thread suggest, don't forget that the android.support.v4.jar is included in your DONKEY file, and the platform.xml explicitly declare it as .

    If you have an OEM of XP Pro product key version and a CD of XP Pro retail, which will not work because they must be of the same type of XP Pro.

    If both the key product AND the installation CD are for the same type of XP Pro (otherwise, they are all two OEM or they are two retailers), so you just need to be very careful when you enter the 25-character product key, be careful not to confuse an 8 with a B, a 5s etc.
