Don't know which to buy MS Win 7 OS
Dear MS community
I'm in a dilemma in which offer choice, should I choose to buy to upgrade multiple PCs and laptops, I sat in my house.
They are some XPs which are ready to start at level I feel confident to do a service, but language what I need is beyond what I understand completely.
Like; Refurbished, OEI, Hologramm and OEM, it looks like everything I can find.
If I can just get info that I can use it on one or more, that would be good and what I really want to find.
Yes, I would like to get the CD or key / both as cheap as possible to the practice of upgrading the towers and laptops I have.
I'm in the right place to ask for advice.
I surely hope so.
First of all, you will not be able to obtain a license that allows several facilities. If you can find a copy of the Windows 7 Home Premium Family Upgrade for 3 PCs, then you would be lucky.
Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
You mentioned several channels of license:
Renovated - for old computers, comes with a type of license OEM which is related to this machine.
OEI - also another type of OEM license.
OEM - can be licensed manufacturer pre-installed or system.
Hologram - technology used to identify genuine Microsoft products.
OEM System Builder version:
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
There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

I bought a game and I need visual c ++, I don't know which of them I need
I bought a game and I need visual c ++, I don't know which of them I need because I tried to install many of them, but he repeated to me that it is not possible.
I really need your help because the game was very broad, and still I don't know whick one I need.
Thank you and sorry because my English is not so good.

You are logged on as administrator, and have you tried to disable your anti-virus or UAC temporarily when trying to install C++?
-As you have discovered, there are many versions of C++ (I have 20 on Win7 64 bit).
However, C++ error messages normally specify what version is necessary and the most recent
Games will automatically install the version of C++ required by the game.
-If the game is not to install C++ you will find that it uses on the game disc.
Just 'Open ' the drive and search for a C++ Installer (.exe) files and install C++ directly
starting from there.
-Have you installed all the 'important' Windows updates (do not install the 'optional' update
for graphics drivers)?
-Have you updated .NET Framework to version 4.5?
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 of the official Microsoft Download Center
If the game is a recent version, it may require C++ 2010 or 2010.
-You probably have these already, but just in case where -
-There are also three versions of C ++ 2012, but mine have been installed automatically. I'm not sure,
But if they were not installed by games, then maybe Windows updates install C ++ 2012?
-What games are you trying to install? Is this a diskette the retail version, steam or to download other
version (specify what 'other')?
And what graphics card your machine uses?

Need to buy a new battery for a satellite A100 - don't know which!
Hello
My Satellite A100 laptop battery is dead... He has for the last year showed signs of life slowly reduce.
But I can't for the life of understand me which battery to buy on the section of devices of websites of Toshiba under Power Options.
All Advisor, welcome.Also my laptop has started to become extraordinarily hot - who would have something to do with the life of the battery is reduced?
Concerning
RAMYou can find the model number of your battery and buy the same model. My Toshiba A100-383 battery has this model number: PA3399U-2BRS, I don't know if yours has this number too.
The heat is a big problem for Li - ion batteries. In any case, you should check if your laptop temperature is abnormal (maybe a fan does not work or it is dirty) because it can affect other components.

I don't have a DVD player on my computer, check the Net tells me tht I would need an external DVD drive that must be compatible with my computer which is Windows XP. I'm pretty stupid on computers and since I'm home linked to diabetic neuropathy, a broken femur that stands with 4 screws a nd a replacement hip and you tell the truth, I don't know what allI must tell you as I said I'm stupid on computers. Please let me know what else, or how I can find something else that you need. Thank you for your help.
Hello
Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
and DVDs and not just play).A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).
Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
or the FRY.This is good, but there are many good brands.

don't know which hard drive to buy.
I need to buy a new hard drive for my HP pavilion G62 series laptop! I know it must be a SATA 2.5 but I'm not sure one to buy! CAB someone suggest a HDD to get and which is compatible with my computer? Thanks in advance
Tiffany
Hey, Tiffany:
You can buy any disk SATA II 2.5 "laptop hard for your laptop should not exceed 750 GB.
You have two other options... a drive of 7 200 rpm or a disk of 5 400 rpm.
Choose a drive of 7 200 rpm for optimum performance.
Choose a disk of 5 400 rpm for longer battery life between charges.
You didn't say what size drive came with your PC, so I don't know what you are looking to buy the size.
Here are these two models for your comment...
7 200 RPM, 320 GB

5 400 RPM, 500 GB

Computer shows 84 programs running, don't know which can be closed
I have but.dont running 84 programs know which ones to stop.also approximately 20 to start
What I suggest, gives you access to a program that can potentially harm your PC if you are not aware of what you are doing. Don't try if you are not sure that you understand.
Hold the Windows key and press R (Windows key + R)
A 'Run' dialog box should appear. It contains, type "msconfig".
a "System Configuration" window should appear.
Go to the "Startup" tab and you can uncheck programs that you no longer want to start with your PC. Note that this list only shows no essential program for Windows, but other things, such as programs to your printer or other hardware devices, can be listed and necessary. Some examples of programs to uncheck are Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager, Google Talk, Google Update, Java (TM), Skype, etc.Once you have disabled the programs you don't need, you can go to the Services tab.
Note that the tab Services DO list the required programs for Windows to run properly.
You can help avoid this danger by checking the box "hide all Microsoft services".
After having done that, you can uncheck things such as Google Update, NVIDIA, Steam Client Service and much more.Also note that your Antivirus service is listed, and may also have a program listed as a so startup program. Be careful! And yet once, don't try if you are unsure about this task.

Don't know which of my two copies of Windows 7 to use
Hi, sounds like a stupid question, but I have two copies of Windows 7, the one installed on the machine 1 and another which is installed on machine 2, who is now dead. I want to use the product key from machine 2 (these are these two retail licenses) on my new machine 3, but I don't remember which of the product keys I used to machine 2. I'm worried if I'll take a guess and be wrong, it will disable the machine 1. Any suggestions on the best way to go about this? Thank you!
Compare key - license in use
Click Start, type: cmd
Right-click on CMD
Click on run as administrator
At the command prompt, type the following command:
slmgr - dli
Press enter on your keyboard
This will reveal the key to partial product that give a clue. Compare it with the keys that you have and it will confirm which copy is in use.

I've updated, and now I can no longer show all files on the web without having to download everything first. It's very frustrating. want to go back to the way it was, but don't know how.
You shouldn't need both Acrobat and Reader. That said, I suggest trying to open Acrobat and help > repair. Also check the plugins or addons to your browser.

See one thing I know that there is something missing, is that, after I have a malware that has been recently repaired. I had deleted the first account on this computer and since then I can make a new account, but I can't use it or sign on it. Another thing, this computer had started to run oddly since happened. There is no return of follow-up that don't pass. So I can't get back on track. And here the updates coming to pass through (which seem to people with the same problem to the failure of the updates on the computer with frame 4). So my main concern is that there is a way I can run a program that is patch my computer, with missing files. Also how can I solve this problem of the user. But im hoping also that the correction could perhaps solve my game glitches/shut-downs/freezing
The console session is just reference to the console's command prompt window. Make sure that the title of it administrator: command prompt. If it doesn't have the word in there administrator, make sure you right click on the link to the command prompt and chose to run as administrator in step 1 of these instructions.

You can also check the browser.sessionhistory.max_entries pref setting on the topic: config page to see if he still has the default value or 50.
These issues may also be due to a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

Windows Mail - enabled, don't know which server I have.
Hello
I hope someone can help me with this. I fail to activate the Mail Windomws because I do not know the incoming server and outgoing mail. I got in touch with those who deliver my internet, but did not help.
I really hope that som of you know how to find my servers, I tried the alternatives given: imap, pop3, and SMTP - I get a message that the servers not to right.
I thank very you much for trying to help me.
When I try to activate Windows Mail, it starts with an example address: Email removed for privacy.
I have three different alternatives after the @:
@microsoft.com
@gmail.com
@hotmail.com
This information has been useful? Or you have any suggestions how to find my servers.
Forget them @microsoft.com that is NOT one of your email addresses. It's only discussion groups.
Here is a link to set up your Hotmail account in Windows mail.
http://email.about.com/od/windowsmailtips/Qt/et_get_hotmail.htm
A very important point : when it comes to entering your hotmail address, give a FALSE address. Do not use the word hotmail. When you have everything done and finished. Windows Mail will tell you.
Now, go back to the servers window and erase the false address, enter the real hotmail address.
Read the instructions carefully, step by step. Do not jump.If you have a roadblock, after return of responses.
