For Windows 7 starter DVD decoders

I bought a LG Portable Super Multi Drive in order to play DVDs on my HP Mini 110, which runs on Windows 7 Starter.  When I load the LG software and try to play a DVD movie, I get a diagnosis by saying that I don't have a DVD decoder that is necessary.  Does anyone have any suggestions as what and where I could get this necessary decoder?  Thank you!

    I need a link for windows 7 starter 32 bit X 16-96078. If possible!

    Hello

    HP do not offer a download for the recovery media option, but there are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 you can use the following method to create your own Windows 7 Starter 32-bit installation media.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create Windows 7 installation yourself using another PC. However, it not there no download directly available for Windows 7 Starter, so you'll need to download another version (one will do, but the link below is for Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit - the source of the image is Digital River).

    Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit SP1.

    For the key on your label of COA to work, you must now use the method described in the following link to convert this ISO to an all-version Installer - the section that require you to edit the ISO is Step 1 DVD universal (although you will create an installer from usb, the method to change the ISO is the same).

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/85813-Windows-7-universal-installation-disc-create.html

    Once done, use an application like Rufus to create a bootable Windows 7 usb flash drive.

    Use the Flash drive to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA in the request and one time Setup is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this 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.

  • I can't advocate for windows to start. Have uninstalled and not reinstalled no difference. Error OX 800106ba. Can someone help me please?

    Sorry I'm new.  I accidentally deleted windows Defender. So I tried to install just that - it did not work, so I uninstall and then reinstalled and it still does not work.  I'm a great Grandma with no. kids to help hope someone can - thank you.

    Hello

    Here is the Vista Forums.

    If you have uninstalled then reinstalled Defender using Vista.

    Defender is part of the Vista operating system.

    Read this information on the Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    .

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  • Alternative to the cutting tool for Windows 7 Starter

    I bought a net-book with Windows 7 Starter & it does not capture tool. So I tried all the other snipping programs & none of them can just drag a page copied to an email that I prepare. They want all save, share etc. They can send email if you only want to send a screenshot, but I need to move to screen multiple blows to an email. I use a web site based on Ihost Exchange Outlook if it makes a difference. Does anyone know of a real alternative to the capture tool? Snippy, Snagit, CaptureIt, Lightshot and anyone else I've tried doesn't do the same thing.

  • Default background for Windows 7 Starter distorted

    I just realized that it is IMPOSSIBLE to change your background with Windows 7 Starter.

    1ST - WTF
    2nd - when I right-click on an image and selected the "set as wallpaper"... it caused the default image to change.  Now, it is extended upwards and looks terrible.

    Please help me solve this problem.  If I can't change the background, I would at least get one that looks decent...

    Hello

    You cannot change the wallpaper in starter edition.
    If you have made a few changes to change the background I have, it can cause instability to the system.
    However
    Visit this link for more information
    You can try the system restore to go back to the original.
    If you want to make changes to the registry go to safe mode with a backup.
    or
    ===> create a new admin account and just passing through.

  • Upgrading Toshiba Satellite PRO C for Windows 8 with DVD

    Hi all!

    I tried to upgrade to Windows 8 PRO with the DVD provided with the laptop but cannot achieve this goal.

    I made the changes in the BIOS as the said document (CSM boot for a UEFI boot and enable Secure Boot), started the laptop with the DVDs, but after running for a while, it stops and show a message saying something like there is not enough space in partition to write the image o something like that. Sorry because I don't have the exact message. Any ideas on this subject?

    Fortunately, I did the DVD to recover for the restoration of Windows 7, but I would like to run Windows 8 in the laptop.

    Kind regards.

    Javier.

    If I m not wrong not the message means that the partition does not provide sufficient space to install the system Win 8.

    I think you need to format the partition before you begin the installation of the system.
    This option should be given during the installation of the OS, I can not say with certainty what stage should provide this option, but this should be asked at the beginning of the installation
