  Hi yayatisharma,

  Hi guys,.

  I currently need to install something that applies only to Windows Server 2003 and windows XP 64-bit.

  Unfortunately, my pc only have little in the mode list of compatibility that are Vista (Service Pack 1), Windows, Windows Vista (Service Pack 2), Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

  I'm amazing by any risk, I can install Windows Server 2003 or windows XP64 bit in my pc and let it show in the list Compatibility Mode?

  Thank you

  We are limited to the options available. You can contact the developer of the software and ask them if they have a version for Windows 7.

• Most of the games directx9 + who have played a lot on XP and the beta version of Windows 7 was even faster as GTA4 drag along with the latest updates to HW and SW. Games & all the performance Console is to kill the pc (if im a 4 pc now)

  Hi, I bought Vista 64 bit earlier and it almost made me for the mac, but when I first tried win7 beta and it was great on a lower technical platform and could not wait for full details. so, I bought a brand new platform last i7 CPU and 6 GB DDR 3 channels and the latest Nvidia 275GTX 1765 MB Vram Grfx and could not do more than what was and is still ongoing. I installed my new win 7 64 bit 1 and was a bit off on how he has been slow to version beta on a platform nearly 5 years I used 7800GTX Athlon 64 4200, as what are you do looks great and moves faster than this in. * Vista. All my old game where _ while people with nearly the same and less spec flight here by so I switched to the 32 bit (good by my 3 extra GB installed) running. It was a little better, but the games that are 3 years old just down or blue screen. SO why go back in the power PC (XBox 360 + dales come to mind) are really trying to kill the power of the pc to the console, PDA etc.? So it seems that XP is the only one for some UM with games, virtual xp mode is a waste. So if you have something good, well, until a better operating system just to please let the people have because we are all put you into your work time back. Please notify.

  Hello microblackhole,

  I understand that Windows 7 gaming performance do not meet the requirements you're looking for.

  I wish to inform you that with Windows 7, you get to use 4 GB of Random Access Memory.

  The major problem with your computer, it seems that there are a few old games that break with blue screens.

  Windows 7 comes with Direct X 10 preinstalled. So you should try to understand what are the games that are broken.

  Here are a few methods that you can analyze the reasons why the games are block:

  Compatibility:

  Check if the games are compatible with Windows 7. You can run the troubleshoot compatibility utility to discover the solutions to run the games:

  1. open the program compatibility problems by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting.

  2. under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

  Read this article which will give you more information about this:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-program-compatibility-Troubleshooter

  Analyze the event viewer:

  I suggest you analyze the event viewer to find what could be causing the crash games.

  1. open the start menu and type event viewer in the start menu search bar. Open event viewer from the menu.
  2. in the case of Viewer click Windows logs in the left panel.
  3. click on application under Windows Logs logs.
  4. search for the error messages listed in the event viewer window Central Panel and double-click on the error to check if it log is related to games that are broken.

  When I enter a Web site URL and press enter nothing happens. Same thing with the green arrow next to the address bar. Only by clicking on the links or by typing the URL in the address bar of windows I can access websites.

  Hello @BubuBaby,
  
  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!
  
  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Notebook PC 11 workflow and settings of Touchpad not working not properly. You can disable the popup of charms by right-clicking on the desktop go to properties. In the properties of Navigation window and the taskbar, click the Navigation tab and uncheck the box - when I point to the upper right corner, show the charms.

  Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the Touchpad, if you need it.
  
  If you proceed to the section setting of TouchPad pointing the sensitivities it should help solve the problem. Enable or disable individual gestures by clicking the check box next to each item. A check mark in the check box indicates that the gesture is turned on.
  
  Hope this fixes the Touchpad settings.
  
  Thank you.

• Update Live 2009 and the new version of Windows Live 2011.

  After installing the update of Live software (10.11.2010) Version 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.416) in my computer - and I tried to start Live Gallery, I get the message Photogallery cannot start because lack of MSSQL 2005 COmpact edition.

  As I knew, SQL served also in the previous version. I'm a little afraid to try to install this version, because I already have MSSQL server 2005 installed and used in my accounting program. Install a new version will then often more problems than solve all the problems.

  How to add Live Gallery as a new instance of MSSQL2005? You have the settings to set a manual instance who will work with the photo gallery?

  Next problem:

  Microsoft alert on the old LiveSync program, who work for a long time. I used this for a few years, because I have 3 computers that must be synconized with the same information on the accounting data and documents and photos. This Livesync works very well.

  I should connect on my page of Live Sync yesterday and change the settings. I've been using Live sync for a long time. There I could see Live Sync will stop and set up a new product, mesh. Well, I agreed to install this solution. I used already, windows Live mail and Live messenger, for a time of loooong and very uncomfortable about this products.
  
  When I installed the new synchronization software, it is also updated my Messenger, the gallery and the mail. But I'm really disappointed... The Messenger is like a huge stone and with a new design and more complicated to see what you're doing. The Gallery is so bad, and the options to display images after the shooting date disappeared. Mail is so heavy and all programs with a HUGE menu of icons all places, with 1000' nds of choice which a normal user does NOT need or want.
   
  The system of mesh must be a better solution after sync Live, but it's so slow and do a lot of bad things in my computer. All my sync folders has been updated with Live Sync, but what a start doing the same thing again, and I had 12000 files update. Soon it started the update, he grabbed 20 GB of my available space in my drive C - from 32 GB to 12 GB, and I was really scared of running out of disk space. After a few our space was getting better, but it stills lost about 10 GB in my hard drive, compared to what I had before installing. The mesh has put a lot of temporary files in users\Appdata\Local\Microsoft'Live Mesh. I start checking all files, files which could be, and after update all the files, it was still about 9 GB left in this folder. My Local low folder is now 292 MB, Local is 4.2 GB and homelessness is 579 MB. But I still wonder where is the last 10 GB which disappear when I install the mesh.
   
  My other computer died in this operation. When I start today, I had a lot of messages on the server mesh was not, and I tried to restart it. But now it's DEAD - I could not power on it. A hard disk will also start default after installation of the mesh, it was a whole new Samsung 1 TB 3.5 inch SATA.
   
  Now my main computer died and I removed all the latest Live Messenger with Essentials on this one, and now it starts acting like a normal computer.
   
  My Gallery is normal again, that my email works normally again. and I decided to stop all kinds of synchronizations from Microsoft. Why if you change a good product that works fine?
   
  I recommend post you pack to download the previous version of Live Messenger and products - and continue to use Live Sync, and people to give a chance to yourself decide how version that should be updated when a new version is available. I had no choice to stop the update for Messenger, Gallery and mail. just a message about this also will be updated. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Essentials?OS=other must be put on hold until the test is preferable. Live Mesh is dangerous - it kills your computer. This is NOT a final product - put in a BETA version and put on a warning.
