  NECESSARY EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PLEASE!

  Hello

  Anyone know how to get a new existing product key of windows XP Professional 32-bit OS? (my key has reached the max limit).

  Please HELP URGENTLY if youi can as I have now just 1 day left to activate (& risk losing all my work in the last days where I reformatted and reloaded all programs, etc.). Really, I don't want to not upgrade to windows 7 (already tried) until I absolutely have to also really enjoy windows xp prof os - but complete support & can't buy more then? Download the new key or extend my use of existing key?

  PLSE Help!

  Thank you

  Angie

  There is no such thing as a "max usage limit" (other than to be in use on a single computer at a time) for a Windows XP product key.

  There is no limit to the number of times where you can reinstall and activate the same license of Windows XP on the same PC.  Is never a charge.  No more than a product key (as long as it is not an evaluation license) never expire.  If it's been more than 120 days you finally turned on this specific product key, you will probably be able to activate via the Internet without problem.  If it was less, you may need to do a five minute phone call.

  Here are the facts relating to activation:

• Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Printer Spooler problem. Cannot print.

  I have Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. I did a clean install of Vista.

  Basically I'm not able to add a printer, because of the many errors I get.
  

  If I go to the printers-> add printer. I got the error: "Windows can't open add printer." The local print spooler service
  does not work. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine.
  Then I go to Run-> Services.msc and manually restart and 'Start' the printer spooler.

  So now the Add Printer dialog box and choose to add a local printer... There is no existing port to choose
  go and it does not create a new port. (I have to reboot and start the spooler each time before you can
  to successfully open the Add Printer dialog box). (The Printer Spooler as somehow 'stop' shortly after I 'start'.

  Go back and I try to add a network printer. I see my printer network hosted on the network drive, click on the
  printer and I select the printer begins to try to install it, but it quickly produces the error message:
  "Windows cannot connect to the printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or
  restart the machine.

  I have absolutely no idea what could cause this problem. And Yes, I tried the Support to call Microsoft, the rep had no idea what was causing it.
  

  And the print spooler dependencies are listed below:
  This service depends on the following system components:
  Remote procedure call

  The following system components depend on this service:
  Fax

  
  

  If any ideas why I can't print?

  Hi j8636,

  As the print spooler service stops automatically, I suggest that run you a scan for viruses/malware.
  Run a virus/malware scan and get back to us.

• XP Professional x 64 Edition for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade. The best way?

  Hi you all, experts,

  I want to spend my edition of Windows XP Professional x 64 (legit) to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't think I need additional options in 'Ultimate', but I need, I am sure, XP mode that comes with "7 Professional".

  Maybe I should mention at this point that I am a member of the program saved Reacondicionador, until you feel that I was fully authorized to "renovate" my own PC.

  First of all a question about Windows 7 itself: -.

  As I said, I need to be able to run certain programs that have been written for XP. The expression "run several Windows XP programs in Windows XP Mode (separate download) company" in "features" means that I have to pay extra for this option? If Yes, how and where to go?

  Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

  Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

  1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

  2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

  3) "Retail", the more expensive but, I understand that, can be transferred or installed on a PC refurbished, although it is only has a license valid on a PC at the same time. Is there a difference between "Retail" and "Upgrade"? Can I use one over the other? If so, why? Is there a difference?

  4) authentic software. Is it possible that I can know without having the product in my hands, or installed on my system, whether or not an article supposed to be "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit" is actually authentic. Is there a relevant question, can I ask which would identify a fake before I part with my money?

  Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

  No, Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode is free for users of Windows 7 Professional. To learn more:

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/11/23/using-Windows-Virtual-PC-with-Windows-XP-mode/

  Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

  Personally, I've used several graphic programs 2D and 3D even on Windows XP Mode, include The Print Shop, PhotoDraw 2000 v2 and they work very well to this topic. The article I linked to provide instructions how to publish your applications, you can use alongside Windows 7 applications.

  Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

  1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

  No, you will need to purchase a new license if your Windows 7 OEM System Builder License fails. You could of course try install and reactivate the components on the new motherboard before buying a new license, because some people have been 'lucky' get it reactive but is is not a guarantee. If the motherboard is replaced based on a defect or warranty, you should be able to reactivate the replacement motherboard.

  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

  2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

  If you do not want to restore Windows XP someday, I suggest that you backup before migrating to Windows 7.

  EaseUS TODO Backup free - CNET Download.com

  You cannot upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7. Especially in the case of Windows XP Professional x 64, you need start a custom Setup by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.

  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.

• OfficeJet K8600 and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

  My Officejet k8600 printer refuses to print full size 11 x 17 drawings.  Instead of printing a full-size drawing 11 x 17, I get a 8.5 x 11 print.  This only happens with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  This printer worked fine with Windows XP.  I really need the ability to print 11 x 17 drawings.  Help, please!

  Never mind.  I fixed it myself.

  I uninstalled hundreds of megabytes of useless HP driver software.

  I restarted my computer with the printer usb cable unplugged.

  When I reconnected the printer cable, Windows 7 loaded drivers from the Windows Update server.

  I can now print documents of size 11 x 17 prints as well as 8.5 x 11.

• Kodak esp3250 drivers do not install on Windows XP Professional 64-bit

  Hello

  I just want to ask if it is possible to download drivers for my Kodak ESP 3250 printer. I heard that it is not compatible with Windows XP Professional 64-bit machines, but I think that it is not true.
  Thank you
  Zuga01

  If you really have XP Pro x 64 (which is rare), you're right that current software/driver Kodak for its all-in-one printers (including the ESP 3250) will not work for your operating system.  See http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32108/selected/true

  It is possible that Kodak may have an older version of its software that works.  See http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23858/related/1/selected/true

  Hello

  This is an option that you can use.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  First, click on the Start Menu, open computer and double-click Local C drive - you should see a folder called swsetup.  This will contain all the driver installers and almost every program to install the software for your laptop - support this until an external support/device.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the OS exactly the same as originally supplied with your laptop, but the 32-bit version ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  Is it possible to downgrade Windows XP Professional 64 bit to 32 bit? How? Please advice. Thank you!

  There is no downgrade option, you must perform a clean install of Windows XP 32-bit and reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files and check that you have the product keys and installation media for even before you start.

• Windows Vista Edition home premium 64-bit: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade: on site or install Clean?

  Hello

  In order to know which version of Windows 7 upgrade purchase, using the top prizes starting tomorrow, I would like to know if I can use a facility in place or will require a clean install (when updates are sent in October?).

  I upgrade from Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (to use the XP compatibility feature).

  But the installation in place, I think, is an easier process, especially if some 3rd party software, which does not transfer through a software transfer and cables, should proceed to deactivation, reactivation and or new material for release of the keys, etc. for a clean install.

  The Beta Upgrade Wizard for Windows 7 that I ran on my computer Vista Home Premium 64 upgrade to Windows 7 Professional provides a clean install, not in place. But I wonder if this may be a piece of information in the Beta Wizard. Reading online today mentions that the upgrade to a higher level version (such as Vista Home Premium 64 for Windows 7 64 Profession) can be done on site.

  All links to information Microsoft 'official' on this topic would be appreciated.

  Kind regards

  RECENTLY I HAVE WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL 64-BIT AND THAT YOU CANNOT LOAD LABTEC WEBCAM MORE. I GET THE MESSAGE 'THIS PRODUCT NOT DESIGNED FOR YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM' I TRIED TO GO ON THE LABTEC WEB SITE AND DOWNLOAD DRIVER FROM HERE, BUT STILL WILL NOT WORK. CAN ANYONE HELP?

  Hello

  Please, do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and considered to be shouting.

  As you know that there are no Windows 7 drivers for this camera. Check with the support of Labec.

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

  You can try loading the latest driver available in Compatibility Mode which sometimes
  work however, it isn't anywhere near a sure thing.

  Exhausted all other methods in the Troubleshoot utility above before trying these.

  Logon as ADMINISTRATOR for all of them.

  You can try Compatibility Mode but this rarely works on the device drivers.

  Right click on the driver executable (.exe) file - select Compatibility Mode

  In the drop-down menu choose XP or Vista and Service Pack (if it is the version
  "you try the drivers).

  Click OK, and then let the race to see if it will install.

  =================================================

  It also rarely works on the device drivers but it is worth trying:

  Another method to try is to run the .exe (if self extraction) or Unzip (if it is compressed) to a folder:

  How to open a high in Windows 7 command prompt
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html

  Open an elevated command prompt : (probably looks like this)

  C:\Windows\System32 >

  CD \the path to this folder as C:\User\Your user Name\Camera_Folder or whatever the path
  is the folder where the driver is unpacked.

  In this case it would be \User\Your User Name\Camera_Folder CD and would look at the prompt:

  CD \User\Your user Name\Camera_Folder >

  This in type at the prompt and press ENTER.

  -I - one *.inf PnPUtil

  It will take a little time to respond.

  If it does not (error) use the full path to the driver, for example (which can be used for)
  "no matter what guest):

  PnPUtil-i - one C:\User\Your user Name\Camera_Folder\*.inf

• Where to get the CD to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit (non OEM)?

  I want to move from 32-bit Vista Business Edition without wiping my whole system.

  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.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
  -Expensive

• Windows 7 Professional 64 bit product key cannot be used?

  Well, I bought a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit and I try to update my PC after installing on the new PC to my father that I built for him. When I installed it on my gaming PC, everything was fine, but now I'm doing it on my work PC and it comes up saying that the key cannot be used on this computer! What! And yes the key that I use IS the one that came with my Windows software. It is NOT for the office, but for Windows 7! What is the PROBLEM! When I bought this copy of Windows I wanted to use it on several PC in our House. Product key should work whenever I use it! I paid for this thing, and the key is legitimate! And I won't go to the table more of 100 to 200 dollars for ANOTHER copy of windows just if I have a product key to be used; It's ridiculous!

  you may not use the software on any other computer.

  You agreed to the end user license agreement when you install. André has repeated the first part of the above agreement. Whether you like it or not, these are the conditions of the license. You cannot use the same key on multiple computers.

• Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and 64 - bit

  I soon to set up a new unit to Dell with a CPU i7, SSD & a good NVIDIA video card and my client has specifically requested that the operating system Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit be installed on it, due to the fact that it will run only older legacy there applications (except for the 2013 Office, but I will always install the 32-bit version of).  Also the fact that it will deal with only 4 GB of RAM (which isn't a big deal to him), are there any other compelling reason do not install instead of the 64-bit version?

  I wonder if this will affect the overall performance of the operating system based on the way it interacts with the CPU or some such?  (I'm talking about 64-bit here).  Currently, there is little, or even 64-bit available than the average home user programs could (or should) use; There is no any video or even photo editing or any other high activity range, much the processor on the computer.

  In addition, it would save having to install double versions of some of the other common applications, such as Java & IE 10, etc..

  If & when he never goes 'up' for Windows 8, Windows (at this point) or 'Blue', then it might make sense, but it is not simply to use new programs and / or 'great mighty ones' who would benefit from a 64-bit Windows version, as far as I can tell.

  I am open for any compelling reason to go 64-bit in the circumstances (other than the issue of the RAM, which is actually a non-issue) at the moment...

  Apps must be 64-bit to run on a 64-bit application... 32-bit applications work fine in a 64-bit operating system.  As you say, Microsoft introduced the first 64-bit version of Office in Office 2010, but they always recommend running the 32-bit version on a 64 bit OS.

  There are only a handful of reasons why a 32-bit application does not work on W7x64.  For example, the Remote Server 2003 management tools will not work on 64-bit.  There are more than 32-bit applications that do not run in Windows 7 because it's Windows 7 32-bit applications that do not run in 64-bit Windows because it is 64-bit.  After performing on means of Vista they will "probably" also works on Windows 7 as Vista has many of the same requirements and restrictions as Windows 7.

  Here, I would look for the versions he will plan to run and specific applications:

  "Why have a 64-bit OS, if you're only (never) going to run 32-bit programs on it?"

  The best reason?  Right now, he has only to 32-bit applications.  He's going to upgrade to 64-bit applications?  Probably no - one at the same time, probably needs.  Software companies do not feel that they need to write for the 64-bit platform in the near future, so 64-bit applications are not always available for a product, and/or not available when him and his other apps are ready for the jump to 64-bit, in order to have already installed allows just of 64-bit upgrade him that everyone is available and it is ready to be upgraded this app.  Keeping in mind that there is NO upgrade path on-site from 32 bit to 64 bit, a complete reinstallation will be required to move to 64 - bit - potentially a disruptive downtime, re-adusting amount settings and preferences, updates, reinstall programs, etc.  Also, say that it begins maxing out its RAM (max about 3.5 GB for 32 - bit)... an upgrade memory will require a reinstallation of the 64-bit above all more memory will be used.  With 64-bit, he can throw all memory system will support her with only a reboot to install the memory in the system.

  My thought: if it will work on Windows 7 x 64, and it is a solution to medium and long term, there is no reason to not use it.

• Found the CD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with key, is there a way to see if it is valid?

  So, I was just digging through a pile of junk today, and found Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with a product key stuck to it. It was an OEM kit (for some reason) and I wanted to see if it had been used. Is there a program to see if it is valid without installing it? Because I don't want to lose activation on this just check to see if it will work. Help is very appreciated. (I don't want to use a phone, if that's possible! I hate using the phone... xD)

  If its opening, its likely has been used. Once you break the seal for an OEM System Builder kit, you are bound to the license agreement.

  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
