determine the type of the current installation

Hello, I hope someone has an answer for me. I was given an old computer, XP home (w/no service packs). I installed all the updates, but if I need to reinstall, how can I determine if this is an upgrade or install a full (clean)? The Dell PC came with ME (a sticker) but has a valid XP tone. Thank you for your time.

If your key is an OEM XP Home key, Yes.

or I need to reinstall first ME (uuuhhhgg!)  to be valid?

No, the OEM versions don't clean facilities only. It's okay that a
already on the disk, or even if everything is on the disc.

  • Determine the current item of blocks, region,... for use in the authorization scheme

    Hello

    y at - it a possiblity to understand, what element, region, etc. is currently rendered?

    What I want to do is: create an authorization scheme that is attached to each article. The authorization scheme itself must be generic and configured through a config table. I think that it is only possible if the authorization scheme knows the element for which it is currently running.

    Y at - it a possiblity to do this?

    If this isn't the case, I think it would be a great improvement for future versions. Built a new substition string that points to the name of the currently displayed item (something like "pointer" in java).

  • Script or command to determine the ESX installation date

    Hello

    I was responsible for getting the date of installation of each ESX host in my infrastructure. Y at - it a script or the cmdlet that is used to determine this information. I have looked around, but discovered nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    G

    As I know there is no property that gives you the installdate.

    There are alternatives, but all do not give a solution that will always return the correct date.

    I prefer to look for the oldest statistical data for the host

    -This requires that statistical data are retained indefinitely

    -If the host has not added to the vCenter immediately after installation, the returned date might be off significantly.

    -due to a bug in the cmdlet Get-Stat, I use the QueryPerf method instead of the cmdlet Get-Stat

    $esx = Get-VMHost MyEsx $perfMgr = Get-View (Get-View ServiceInstance).content.perfManager
    $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.PerfQuerySpec $spec.StartTime = (Get-Date).AddYears(-2)
    $spec.Entity = $esx.ExtensionData.MoRef
    $metric = New-Object VMware.Vim.PerfMetricId $metric.counterId = 2 $metric.instance = "" $spec.MetricId += $metric $stats = $perfMgr.QueryPerf($spec)
    
    Write-Host $stats[0].SampleInfo[0].Timestamp
    

    The script assumes that it must be less than 2 years since the host was installed, but you can easily change that by changing the setting to the AddYears method.

  • Is there a way to determine the current amount of data collected using CounterReader and AsyncCallback?

    I collect a quadrupole encoder using CounterReader and AsyncCallback.  At any time, I would like to know how much value is currently stored/collected before receiving the AsyncCallback and calling EndReadMultiSampleDouble.

    Hi MYR.

    If I understand what you're asking, you should try the DaqStream.AvailableSamplesPerChannel property:

    If you perform a task of counter entry in the buffer, then this property can be used to query the number of samples available in the input buffer that have not yet been read in the application memory.

    I was recently given an older laptop. I have windows XP Home Edition SP2. When I try to update windows, update web site scans my pc and says I need to install SP3 to update other windows. It downloads, but it starts to install, at Midway, the PC shuts down. When I power backup, windows starts to load, but discounts can go back every time.

    Old boot disk was not able to start Windows 7 Pro, because 'important startup file' has been corrupted in some way to the previous stop (shutdown appeared 'clean').

  • Legalize the illegal installation of Win7

    Some time ago I installed a copy of Windows 7 Premium torrented and activated using a kind of rootkit. However, the rootkit is wrong, and although it would be possible to repair it, I can't be arsed.

    Basically, I just want to buy a legal copy cq. product key for Windows 7 and use it to activate my current installation.

    However, the installed version is the ultimate and I never have, I want to just buy a copy of the Home Premium edition. A few mentions of document helps that I'll have to make one adjusted install "downgrade" my ultimate to Home Premium edition. However I can't find any other information. I seriously don't want to reinstall Windows at this point.

    I know that install Windows 7 on an existing installation will move the main directories in a directory 'Windows.old '. This means that it would be a completely clean install, as a matter of fact. These directories include the program files, users, and windows. Older versions of Windows used to have options 'replaces the current installation"but I don't see that here.

    I feel like a sell-out anyway because I am fundamentally opposed to online activation systems: p. because it's an addiction that requires internet access. A bit like the Logitech EU Smart Radio, which cannot play the music (on the network) If you have an internet connection active on the servers of Logitech. And some hardware device drivers (for gaming Razer products, for example) only loads the driver/config when the Setup program is able to connect to their "cloud". They thought it would be cool if the driver settings had been registered on the internet. Screw that, more horrible config program they ever designed.

    For Windows, the problem is less pronounced, but I do not like my system "phone home" after a few days/weeks/months check the «activation status» This implies a current dependence that one day may begin to bite me in the lacrosse. (You can even buy Windows 7 no more in the Microsoft store, nor are it possible to just buy a key and this forced obsolescence is not something that I'm willing to support, or in my own interest.)

    Providers can even dismantle these activation systems when they want more people to use (this version) software.

    So, I'm still not clear what I want to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway if it was possible to go down and then enter a new product key.

    Because you're downgraded to lower edition, he of course by default requires a custom installation that moves from the old installation to a folder named Windows.old. That's how it's done:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    I feel like a sell-out anyway because I am fundamentally opposed to online activation systems: p. because it's an addiction that requires internet access. A bit like the Logitech EU Smart Radio, which cannot play the music (on the network) If you have an internet connection active on the servers of Logitech. And some hardware device drivers (for gaming Razer products, for example) only loads the driver/config when the Setup program is able to connect to their "cloud". They thought it would be cool if the driver settings had been registered on the internet. Screw that, more horrible config program they ever designed.

    For Windows, the problem is less pronounced, but I do not like my system "phone home" after a few days/weeks/months check the «activation status» This implies a current dependence that one day may begin to bite me in the lacrosse. (You can even buy Windows 7 no more in the Microsoft store, nor are it possible to just buy a key and this forced obsolescence is not something that I'm willing to support, or in my own interest.)

    Providers can even dismantle these activation systems when they want more people to use (this version) software.

    So, I'm still not clear what I want to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway if it was possible to go down and then enter a new product key.

  • How can I connect the new installation of Windows 7 for the user profiles on a separate drive har?

    Original title: connect Windows 7 to the output of user profiles?

    I want to reinstall Windows

    My user profiles are on a separate HARD disk
    Is it possible to connect the new install of Win 7 to these existing profiles
    Or I'll create all new profiles and just move all the files manually?

    You can change the registry so that it points to your old profile folder. However, I suspect that this would cause problems because the SID and many registry keys would be incorrect for the current installation. I would like to move the folders manually.

  • How to query the current setting of an element .css?

    I have an element on the stage that I'm changing when running.

    I need to know the current height of the element to be used in a calculation.

    I know how to reset the height, but is it possible, using the script, to determine the current height setting?

    TIA,

    Carolyn

    Any CSS property are accessible as mentioned seano. I would just add sym at the front, since you're on board animate. Just use the correct scope. Then you can use the variable as needed.

    var theHeight = sym.$("element1").height ();
