From a newspaper article, I realized that Windows 7 would be free updated for Vista Home Premium that was on a computer purchased. My purchase date was 12/28/09 & Best Buy told me that I was not covered. What are the limits?

• After you have installed the free updates for Vista Home Premium 64 bit, Windows will not start

  After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot?  To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point?  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

  Do your system restore, then:

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

• Windows complete PC Backup and Restore for Vista Home Premium

  I finally new PC my son all set up with Vista 64-bit Home Premium and installation is sublime.

  But when I looked for a few floppy bootable installation complete I think I bought the wrong version of the program.

  "Windows complete PC Backup and Restore" only comes with the Ultimate and Business edition.

  Is it possible to add this functionality to my version of windows without switching completely to the Ultimate version?

  No, you will need a third party app. Many people prefer Acronis True Image, but I lean toward a slightly more expensive, but a complete solution, with this app.

• What are the limits of the resolution of Photoshop Mix?

  I generated a .psd 2 layer on my Windows desktop that was size 8 x 10 to 300 ppi. Size about 23 MB of the file.

  I opened in Photoshop Mix on the iPad and made a montage.

  When I open the file on my desktop, it was resized to less than 50% of the resolution (from 3300 x 2474 to 1518 x 1138, about 10 MB).

  Is there a limit of resolution? I can't find any documentation on it.

  -If the limit of resolution is in fact this low, then the app is designed only for online vs print jobs and should be clarified.

  Thanks for any help!

  My apologies for the cross-validation:Photoshop mix on ipad - what are the limits of resolution?

  Hello

  Thank you for your interest and support on our application. We apologize for all the inconvenience. In order to correctly answer your question, could you be more specific on how you saved your file, it saves to PSD or recording on film?

  If you save the file in PSD, mixture of photoshop will try to find the best resolution in limit of 4096 x 4096. Otherwise, there is a limit of 2048 x 2048, such as savings for camera roll or publish on behance.

  In both cases, registered lower resolution image may result in zooming in two layers, since the zoomed region has a much lower resolution.

  Hope that answers your question. If this isn't the case, you can post your question here and we will be happy to answer you. In addition, we will provide full resolution recording on film very soon. Please bear with us. Thank you for your patience.

  There is unfortunately quite hard limits, for example 8 GB vRAM, it's the total amount of RAM to virtual machines. I suggest that you look at version 4.1 and not 5.0.

  (VMware is however always claim that the virtual machines on the free vSphere Hypervisor could use unlimited RAM. It is probably not correct.)

  What are the limits of the software during the 30 day trial?

  The trials are fully functional.

  The only restriction is that it will stop working 30 days after its first launch.

  You remove the time limit by entering a valid serial number you get when you purchase the software. Or by subscribing to a plan of composition of cloud.

• Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity

  Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.

  After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.

  I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.

  If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.

  Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

  I had a very similar experience. See the thread I posted and a solution I found:

• Downgraded from Windows 7 RC1 for Vista Home Premium - now cant access partition Bitlocked

  Hello

  I've been running Win 7 RC1 7100 32 bit on my laptop since its release and found absolutely great and have not been issued with it either. Unfortunately I had to return to my previous operating system, Vista Home Premium because of the RC1 of the trial is about to expire. (I have not yet bought my new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium).
  I had a configuration partition C and D under WIn 7 RC1, with D used to store personal data.  I used Bitlocker the lock on this partition.  I prepare to remove RC1 this weekend I moved all my other documents and downloads of the libraries under the D partition C for later access and moving them back to C when Vista was facing up and running.
  But when I tried to access the drive D Vista he invites me to format this drive.  When I looked under administrative tools - disk management it says that the D partition is secure by Bitlocker.
  How can I access my data on the D partition?  I have a good amount of photos on the D drive and I still need!
  I thought to download Win 7 RC1 again to install it so I can have access to the Bitlocker tool, but I can't find it on the Net.
  Please any help would be appreciated.

  The download is finished for a long time.

  It's something that you have made while using Windows 7.

  It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

  To access what has been done with 7 can I, I would suggest asking in the Forums of Windows 7 or Vista Security Forum here:

• How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

  I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

• Printing for Vista Home Premium 32-bit network: Blank document or disappears from the queue

  I'm having trouble printing large format HP DeskJet 1000 c, which is connected via a parallel cable to my Media Center/DVR PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2 on my printer. I connected with the success of this printer to two different computers, a desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2 and a laptop Mac OS x 10.5.8. I can print from the local computer very well, but when I try and use the printer on the network, one of two things happens depending on what machine I try and print from:

  1. from Vista 64 Desktop: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer advance a sheet of paper as if he were about to print, then waits with a power indicator light flashes. If you send a new job network, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the process begins again. If you send a new job locally, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the local job will print normally.

  2. from Mac OS x: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer does nothing.

  Although the process of networking of printers with OS X 10.5 and Vista is a bit more complicated (annoying) it was with XP, I am able to print from the Mac to a printer on the Vista 64 machine very well. Similarly, PC DVR allows you to print to the printer of the Vista 64 computer and a printer connected to my Mac desktop.

  I checked the HP site for drivers and since it is a quite old printer, there is no listed for any operating system newer than Windows 2000 (which a pilot has been included with the operating system). Any ideas as to why the PC DVR will not take of the network print jobs? Unfortunately, this complex printer (3 printers, 4 machines) installation is somewhat needed due to the possibilities of each printer and how my home office is laid out. If they did a multifunction, printer laser color large network format, I could sell my soul for what it... But I'm not aware of such a machine available to mortals.

  There is a difficulty that recently came on the HP Forums for 64-bit Vista:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-and/DeskJet-710-720-810-820-100-series-printers-patch-for-64-bit/m-p/203377#U203377

  All you have to is to download the mentioned file and replace some dll with those provided.

  The question remains with OS X, but I do not expect that Microsoft will provide no support for this.
