  Cut too, Hi

  Thanks for posting.

  Flash is considered to be a product of the third-party software and is supported by the manufacturer.
  However, if you want to display the error message or explain what happens when you try to use it, we usually try some troubleshooting here operations.

  I recommend that you check to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.
  I also suggest you temporarily disable your anti-virus software during the installation of the Flash software.

  Impatience back on your part.

• I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  * Original title: get the product key

  I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

  Hello

  Your question is not very clear to understand.

  If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

  There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

  Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

  Try Amazon.com, etc.

  ___________________________________________________________

  And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

  You tell us what type of license you have.

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  Hello

  You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

  Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

  ______________________________________________________________

  Also that, read also:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

  They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

  _____________________________________________________________

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  ____________________________________________________________

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

• Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation.

  Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

  original title: VISTA VS. XP

  Your technicians say talk to HP

  Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

  You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

  I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

  Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

• Compaq laptop screen suddenly begins to roll and will continue to do so even if I hold down the ctrl key.

  My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ50 - 210us Notebook PC running Windows VISTA. All support comes from HP. He developed a mind of your own. The screen starts rolling when he wants to. I have no control over it. This happens with the games already installed HP, IE9 and office. Sometimes I can stop it by pressing the ctril, but once I stop it again.  If I turn off the laptop and wait to turn it back on it starts rolling and sometimes it for more than 10-15 minutes. All updates are in place. Any suggestions is it really a problem? Thank you.

  Hi JoAnn,

  Did you recent hardware or changes to the software of the system?

  Method 1:

  You can check the following items and check if the problem occurs in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  Method 2:

• remove old laptop windows vista and install on a new

  I have a genuine license of windows vista family premium on my old laptop, I got the cd of vista with the old box to laptop dell, I got a new laptop with free back, I want to format my old laptop and sell and install windows vista on my new I read that once windows has been activated it is no longer usable on another computer unless it's an edition of retail and mine is OEM.

  is it possible to remove the license filed the old laptop and save it to the new laptop? or is there something else I can do? or have one to sell the old laptop with vista cd?

  Thank you Walter to be clear and try to help. I appreciate it. (I thought that my request was slightly different to the original post, so I stretched a hope).

  So if my hard drive crashes, I also have to buy Windows again. How Microsoft get away with this _? There was none of this information at the point of sale.

  Hey fingercuts

  No to the last question

  If your drive hard breaks down in the old compaq laptop from hp, you can contact hp compaq and get them to send you a set of vista recovery disks to reinstall vista on a new hard drive install you in the old laptop that you already purchased your license for this old laptop vista

  they do normally for somewhere between 20-$40

  and you are allowed to replace a hard drive of your machine and also to replace ram

  I hope it clears up a little bit for you

  also I wish you a great festive season

  Merry Christmas

• Attach two headphones listening usb with a computer microphone compaq laptop with windows vista.

  I'm trying to attach two usb headsets to a computer compaq laptop with windows vista.  A set of works of helmet very well but the other does not until one is removed.

  Hi dmilten,

   

  In Windows Vista, you can get her out only 'default' and a 'default' endpoint.  Applications can play at all (and output record of any entry), but by default, they will use only 'by default' entry and exit.

  Outputs audio multiples are not supported by Windows Vista. It's normal. However, you can contact the manufacturer of the equipment for other possibilities.

  He may want to know:

  You can configure your Media Player to play a default device

  In Windows Vista, you can configure Windows Media Player to play an audio device specific.  Tools | Options | Devices | Speakers | Properties | Select the audio device you want to play.
