Change OEM and motherboard

Hello. I have an old Dell with XP installed on it.  My motherboard blew and I got a replacement one - but I'm afraid I could do all the hard work and then have trouble to activate the copy of XP.  No idea if it will be a problem?

Yes, it will be a problem. You cannot use your on a non Dell motherboard Dell XP installation disc. If the motherboard came from Dell, then the installation of Dell Media won't work. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I change the CPU, motherboard and upgraded to Windows 7 while keeping the old HD and all data on hard drive?

    I am running a Pentium Q9300 with Windows Vista. I have change my mother and put card at level of CPU of AMD Phenom II X 4 965. I bought a new copy of Windows 7.

    How can I do all three and the link to my new Windows 7 for my new hardware?

    Hello

    You can not do

    the old hard disk contains the drivers for the motherboard that is old and in all likelihood will not start when it is installed with the new motherboard

    a clean install is normally required when changing motherboards

    __________________________________________________________

    and I think that you should also read this on the granting of licences and motherboards:

    If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer

    an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life

    When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you

    If you have a retail license and reactivation problems:

    1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

    2. press enter on your keyboard

    3. Select your country.

    4. take the phone activation option and brace yourself for a real person instead of the automatic fast process

  • Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail?

    I went to the store to buy a copy of Windows 7. When I got home, I realized it was the OEM 64-bit edition. I already opened and installed. I just noticed that I should use the copy that I am not a seller of computer retail. Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail? I'll be money for theOEM. I guess I should have ask a seller in the store, but they were all occupied. I installed it for someone else while they are mad at me. Can I do a system restore to solve the problem?

    Original title: oem vs retail

    There is nothing wrong with using an OEM copy, its identical to a retail license, just that he has a certain license terms. Considering that the retail licenses are rare and expensive right now, I'd work with OEM license. Microsoft ended sales at retail of Windows 7 in October 2013, while they carry a premium right now.

    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

  • The batch change date and time

    I have a lot of photos which, for some reason, have lost their correct dates and hours of creation, so I was eager to correct in an easy and enjoyable way.  I unfortunately discovered that Photos is not the batch option to change that used to be in iPhoto.

    When you try to find a solution to my problem, I fell on this batch Change Date and time on a fixed Date, which works well, but not quite how I want it.  What I want to do, that's exactly what the script above does, but rather than increment by 1 minute of each photo, I want to increment by 1 second intervals by photo.

    Having not really used AppleScript before, I tried to change the references to the 'minutes' to 'seconds' but that did not work.  Is it possible to do using above seconds instead of minutes?

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Just delete the text "" * minutes ' in the lines where the date is changed. "

    Then time will be incremented seconds.

    For example, for the first version of the script use:

    the value timeIncrement to 1 - increment of time in seconds

    (* select at least 2 images in Photos *)

    say application 'Photos '.

    activate

    game imageSel for (get selection)

    if ({ is } imageSel) or (the length of imageSel < 2) then

    error "Please select at least two images."

    on the other

    defined first_image to the point 1 of the imageSel

    the value first_date to (the date of first_image) as date of

    Repeat with I from 2 to the County of imageSel

    put next_image to the point I of imageSel

    the value next_date to (the date of next_image) as date of

    the value time_difference to (first_date - next_date) + ((i-1) * timeIncrement)

    say next_image

    the value le Date of next_image to (next_date + time_difference) as date of

    end say

    end Repeat

    end if

    return "Set the date and time of" & (the length of the imageSel) & 'photos. The last date is "& ((the date of next_image) as date)"

    end say


  • Hotmail has suddenly changed appearance and now present on the top of the page blue with lines. I have a screenshot...

    Run Firefox 15.0. Hotmail has suddenly changed appearance and my page is not at the bottom of the screen. The top 5/6 of the page is a series of horizontal blue stripes. Text in the blue section is the Windows Live titles such as ' home, Mobile devices, etc. When I try to compose a new message, text in the blue box partially covers the 'To' button, so I need to position the slider at the bottom of the button to enter an address. I have tried Hotmail in IE and it seems fine, so it must be a problem of compatibility between Hotmail & Firefox. Hotmail has not responded to my questions by e-mail. I could understand that if this happened at the beginning of a session, just after I have lights, but this happened after, I had been active in Hotmail and other sites. Other sites are not affected, just Hotmail and only in Firefox.

  • OEM and Retail Pack Version of Windows OS

    What is the difference between the OEM and Retail Pack full of the Windows operating system version? Which one is good to buy and install on PC? How do I install the retail version Pack full on pc/laptop? and any question of service when you use the retail pack? I run it and get updates from MS?

    The OEM version can only legally be sold with hardware, even if these
    days, any piece of equipment, even a power cord, is eligible. Although if
    you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the same software,
    It has the following disadvantages compared to the sales at retail
    Version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version, is that its license links
    There permanently for the first computer, on which it is installed. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

  • I can't change "sounds and audio devices" in the Panel

    original title: I can't change "sounds and audio devices" in the control panel after the update my card NVIDIA vidio driver and Microsoft DirectX in my Windows XP SP3 update.  How can I fix it?

    I recently updated my card (NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT) video driver and Microsoft DirectX after you have experienced a problem with a casual game.  That fixed the problem, but then I noticed that my sound 'e-mail notification' had failed in its original supplied with Windows.  I changed "Sounds and Audio devices", registered, registered as a new regime, etc., and still plays the old default Windows sound.  It was the only noise I had on Windows.  When I check "Sounds and Audio devices", the sound, I have chosen is the one listed, and it does not play when I check, but when the mail arrives, I hear the old Windows by default.  I don't know if the updates, to happen or not, caused only that it took place at the same time.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Thank you for your suggestions.  It turns out that my e-mail client, "Eudora", had somehow reset the default mode in the Windows sounds.  I forgot that there is a choice to "Be careful" in Eudora Tools.  After I changed it back, it worked perfectly.  Once again, thank you to answer me.

  • error on a blue screen after you set new Athlon Proc and motherboard - Strop 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xba2cb756, 0xba4c742c, 0xba4c7128)

    Original title: I need emergency with a blue screen error after new Athlon Proc and motherboard.!

    I had to fix my computer professional brothers due to its motherboard out. So, I advanced and ordered a motherboard latest and processor and also much more memory because the PC was about 6 years old. After installing, I he started and configured the BIOS and thought that it should start right up because it was working fine until the motherboard is out and also I left to himself, the hard drive that has XP installed, because he was also big enough for what he needs. But instead of cranking up XP, I get this error every time even when I try and boot in safe mode.

    I have also ordered him a new copy of Windows 7 to update his OS, but until I can get into XP and do an upgrade, I'm stuck. (I have to do an upgrade because of her inability to save his business files before exiting the motherboard.)

    * Without the [] error code: [stop: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xba2cb756, 0xba4c742c, 0xba4c7128)]

    Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    There is the old motherboard-specific drivers (for example, video, network, bridge, BIOS, etc.) in XP loads that are not compatible with the new motherboard. Conversely, you may need drivers specific to the new motherboard (see the disc that came with the motherboard for details). You might have to perform a repair installation on the existing XP. When you started on the XP installation disc, do not take into account the first mention of repair and then accept the option the second time, you are prompted to repair the existing installation.

    To be honest, you also get a new drive of 500 GB for Windows 7. A hard drive of six year, or approximately 80Gb (...?) and who will get eaten up real quickly by installation of Windows 7. In addition, I don't think you can update directly from XP to Windows 7. I'm sure that there must be a Vista installation in the meantime, but I was called incorrectly.
