Comples little question about the transfer product key

I have a HP (SR5518F) computer and origianally comes with vista, I downgraded to xp, but as time passed gradually began to fall so I decided to restore vista but found the restore partition has been broken, not wanting to pay 40 to 50 dollars for the restore disks I just went and borrowed a friends disc reformat It wasn't a full or upgrade, according to me, it was just a restore (a dell one because that's what it says in my computer).

and basically because of this I can not activate with its original product key, but I got an upgrade to windows 7 but I'm sure he checks for activation, it would be possible to activate and or upgrade with this situation?

You cannot use a Dell recovery disk on an HP computer.

Spend the money on the HP recovery disks:

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  • Re: Question about Windows 7 product key

    After having some problems with my Satellite P500, I had to reformat my laptop.

    Unfortunately however used the product key for windows 7, which is located on a sticker on my laptop and I can read is no longer to reinstall windows. Y at - it an is I can get it back?

    Stand by. I understand that you want to reinstall Win7 but I put t understand your problem. I have the same model of laptop and find out how it works.

    Satellite P500 comes with pre-installed 64 bit Win7.
    Original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive, or you can also create DVDs of recovery for the installation of the OS. When you use the recovery image for Win7 installation you n t need license key.

    So I must ask you: you want to install the Toshiba recovery image or your own operating system installation using the Microsoft installation disc.

  • Two questions about the shortcut app keys

    Hi, there! ~

    As we know, we can assign a keyboard shortcut to our applications for the quick start, but there is something different between my apps and os, my apps and os applications will show their hot keys on the home screen, it looks like figure 1 and figure 2, but in the screen switching Applications, my apps will always show shortcut keys and applications from the os will not looks like figure 3 and figure 4, my first question is how do my apps looks like os apps?

    Figure 1

    Figure 4

    And then my second question is how to enumerate all the shortcut keys assigned in the system of the device?

    Thank you!!! ~

    The reason for the issuance of keys to switch Application screen, is that I have been called the HomeScreen.setName method to change the display name of my application.

  • Ask questions about Windows 7 product key

    I used windows 7 home basic OA SEA HP and now I lost the product key, you will find it for me? I have just the code: 584033-001. I hope to see it soon. Thanks best regurd Franck!

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    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. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    ----------------

    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.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • Questions about the Image matte key

    I'm quite confused on Overlay of Imageand would like to comment on these observations:

    1. When I apply a picture as a cache, it does not seem possible at first to determine what image I used as the matte. After that I applied a mast, can I know what image is used as the mast?
    2. I have a 1920 x 1080 in grayscale, image PSD which is used as cache. The central part of the matte is black, the rest is white. I checked the RGB values in the matte and they 0,0,0 or 255, 255, 255. In the effect of overlay of Image inside the first I composite using Luma Matteand marked to reverse. If I reverse the image in Photoshop so that the Blacks are going to white and vice versa, it makes no difference in the creation. The effect of the matte is the same. Why is this?
    3. If I apply the matte from 1920 x 1080 to an image inside the first superior at 1920 x 1080, the cache does not work. Is this normal? I can get the matte works with the larger image in a new sequence and then this sequence inside the original sequence of nesting, but I do not understand why it is necessary.

    Any feedback is most appreciated. I use CS6.

    Guy,

    Then, you should migrate to the masking effect Track Matte.  Formally, you import the matte in the project (traceable through the reveal in Finder/Explorer) and place on a track above the video in need of carpet.   The effect is placed on the clip (V1) and configured to play the matte on V2 etc.

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?

  • Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

    I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

    We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

    Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

    Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

    What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

    I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

    If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

    I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

    Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Hello

    Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

    Gregg

    With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

    Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

    In short: don't go there.

  • Consider purchase of Wacom Cintiq 27 HD Touch - Questions about the tactile feature in Photoshop and Lightroom

    I'm considering buying a 27 HD Touch of Wacom Cintiq monitor. I have a few questions about the two programs Adobe and their use of the 'touch' feature - Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.7 running on Windows 7.

    1 problems related to touch a feature in Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 and 5 resolved that you see on the forums of Wacom a year ago?

    2. If so, is there sufficient value gained through the tactile feature in Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 to justify the $500 price difference between the Cintiq 27 HD vs Touch HD? (I realize that this is a subjective question based on the abundance of its cash).

    3. I intend to stay with CS6 as long as possible to avoid a monthly subscription, BUT I wonder if buy the Touch HD can provide additional key features in future releases of these products that do not exist currently. (It is a pie in the kind of sky in question).

    Thank you!

    Kent

    Support for Photoshop Touch is added by CC 2014.2.2.  However as the Pro Intuos Wacom tablets with touch can be used with earlier versions of Photoshop and the Wacom Tablets Configurator can custom features can be used with Photoshop touch tablets.  I use LR but I don't know that the same thing would be true for her. You can configure the setting for many applications. The device driver knows which application its interfacing with and uses the parameter set for each...

    I have disable most of touch when using Photoshop.  The main reason why I have a Tablet is Photoshop Brush tools. Like Eraser, clone stamp, etc, nothing is better then a pen when it come to create the layer mask.  For most programs, I always use a mouse and I use the keyboard, the mouse and the pen with Photoshop...

    I never wanted a Cintig I do not have my hand between my eyes and the work. I'm not an artist.

  • A few Questions about the creative cloud

    I read that the Creator Cloud connection will be released in the coming weeks, which is great. I have a few questions about the download file and the creative connection program of cloud.

    I have a file which I will download. The contents of this file will be updated periodically locally. I want to do the files in this folder to stay updated between my desktop and laptop. The Creative Cloud connection program will be able to do?

    If a file is changed, which is already in the cloud program will recognize the change and stay the cloud?

    I guess just a little more information on exactly what will be the program Creative Connection cloud would be nice.

    On the topic of storage I will be able to upgrade the standard 20 GB of storage that is available when / if needed? And how much will that be?

    Another question:

    When Lightroom 4 will be available via CC and why is it not available when it was released?

    Creative Cloud connection will keep files between your desktop and the Web site synchronized. You will be able to add, edit and delete files from each end and that the changes are reflected in both.

    To see the connection creative cloud in action, you can watch this video of evangelist Paul Trani Adobe http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-creative-suite-6-creative-cloud-launch-week/adobe-creative - cloud - tour-/.

    There will be a way to get more than 20 GB of storage. Adobe Creative Cloud http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html FAQ has a question and an answer about it down:

    Buy extra creative Cloud storage?

    Additional storage will be available for purchase later in 2012. If you have reached your storage limit, contact Adobe Customer Service.

    Lightroom 4 will be available in a few weeks. Jeff Veen also tweeted this https://twitter.com/#! / veen/status/200810541550288896. Other Articles of Jeff on what comes to the Adobe Creative cloud here in his blog of Adobe http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

  • Question about the recovery partition

    Hello.

    I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

    If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

    I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

    In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

    In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.

  • C50-A-1DV satellite - cannot find the Office product key

    I bought the new laptop in UK computer dockside.com laptop Satellite model C50-A-1DV.

    Now in India, I'm trying to connect Office but its asking for the product key. I check with the seller, according to him the product key should be in the box of the laptop, but we do not found.
    Again once I had word with the seller that he come back we will get the online product key.
    I do not get product key from anywhere & not able to use my laptop.

    Please help to get the product key

    Preinstalled version of Office is not a full version. It is the 60-day trial version. 60 days, you can use Office and test it. If you like it, you must purchase a valid license.

    Which is the reason why you can't find the license code. Your seller is unfortunately not well informed about the products they offer.

  • Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

    I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

    (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

    (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

    (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

    (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

    (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers:
    1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
    2 - Yes.
    3 - Yes.
    4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
    5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

    In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
