Thank you

Yes.

If the XP drivers are available, you can dual-boot.

Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea, unless you want to run a Virtual Machine.

  • Several Thunderbird in different OS on the same computer to access profile on common logical drive

    I installed Windows 8.1 under another OS on a machine who already have Windows 7 (and Thunderbird). The hard disk is partitioned and you Bird profile files are on a different logical drive available to both operating systems having the same name of player.

    I met two problems:

    1. While the new facility to Win 8.1 you Bird sees all mail folders and messages (and can get new messages from the POP3 account, this configuration does not see also within this same profile address books, and)

    2. it does not correctly send SMTP (even with the same account settings.

    Regarding the last, I remember working with you Bird and its predecessor as the SMTP password has been set from the first use, but never appeared for editing purposes; the only time wherever he appeared was during the creation of a new source of SMTP. In this case, I don't see where I can re - enter the SMTP password. And, I tried to create a new configuration of SMTP, but it did not help. I have entered the correct password, but it failed. Any ideas on how I can get this set up?

    With address books, even if this new facility you Bird knows where the profile (as evidenced by the fact that he doesn't see mail folders and messages), he does not see the address books. Still, I don't see where there is the setting of the location of the address book. I looked for the familiar file that tells the program where to find everything, but I could not find in this new facility to Win 8.1.

    Any ideas on these two issues would be greatly appreciated!

    I finally found the answer. I was able to display the users folder in Win 8.1. I just copied files of Thunderbird of the Win 7 Users\UserName\AppData\Local Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming files directory and directory to the same location on the 8.1 users folder.

    As soon as I did that and restarted my SMTP has been fixed and all address books were available. (And of course, it still works in the world of Win 7, too).

    From what I can glean the data in these records communicate key information at the Thunderbird not covered by the option setting for the folder in the program itself.

    I don't know if the copy of these records is this 3rd party promise to help with the relocation of existing facilities, but should be.

    As a reminder, I try 8.1 win on the same computer as a pre-existing Win7. I wanted to use my same familiar programs, including obviously Thunderbird, with the same configuration and access to the books of mail and same address located on a common additional logical drive.

    Copy these files to the new operating system, as well as pointing to the new installation of program to the existing profile of you bird accomplished all of this.

    A license Windows 7 partners question

    Can I reinstall Windows 7 on a drive different than where I did the initial installation? I have to cancel registration of the software because the initial installation? If so, how this is done? I have to follow a special procedure for the installation of system 7 on the hot spare?

    The reason for my situation

    I decided to upgrade the operating system of my laptop Toshiba Windows XP to Windows 7. As it was my first time, I decided to buy a HDD replacement so that I'd be able to do a clean install of Windows 7 without compromising my data and programs on the old disk. That went well, but the data and previously installed programs that I had used for the years remained in the hard disk which has been deleted.

    Now, I would replace the new hard drive (on which I have installed Windows 7) with the original hard disk (which contains Wndows XP and all my data, all my programs). With that done, I would like to perform an installation upgrade of Windows 7 (on Windows XP). In order to make a second installation on another hard drive (but the same work) what I should do to meet the legal installation MS for Windows 7?

    Please let me know.

    Yes, thank you. I missed that he had 'upgrade '.

    You must perform a new installation and reinstall your programs.

    It's the best thing to do, but the 'must' is too strong a Word. Allow me to
    mention the alternative (although I do not recommend to do so): make a
    two-step upgrade - first upgrade XP to Vista, and Vista upgrade for
    Windows 7.

    I do not recommend because it doubles the risk of problems. But one
    while back I've tasted, to check that it worked, and I got lucky
    enough to have any resulting problems.

  • I can't get two cards USB worked at the same time

    I use Labivew 8.6 to program an application using NI UBB-9211 and USB-6211 connection to two USB ports on my PC in order to measure the temperature and pressure (voltage) at the same time.

Thank you in advance!

    Hi navistar.

    It seems that you should be able to do what you are trying to accomplish. Can you post some information about the error you receive? You use the lower level Assistant DAQ or DAQmx screws in your application? You can post a screenshot of your code where it is merged together and easier troubleshooting. You use any trigger of your application? We have examples in the example Finder (help > find examples) under Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx. These examples are a good place to start to build your application. If you already have the code work for each instrument and you have problems combining them, it might be easier to work with where you are at as opposed to leaving it everywhere.

  • Re-install Windows in the same computer laptop but different mainboard

    Hello

    I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium 64-bit. There are several butterflies I changed it was a genuine Windows Vista Business 32-bit. Recently, I have a problem with my laptop and the manufacturer said that it needs a motherboard replacement, so now the laptop is still be fixed. My question is, can I re - install my laptop using the same Windows Vista Business 32 bit DVD I already had? If not, is there something I could do in order to install using the same DVD again?

    I asked about this on the Volume License Service Center (* address email is removed from the privacy *), but the representative (Jenny) told me to request technical assistance. The ticket/problem code isSRX1132703102ID.

    I hope I could get a response on this matter.

    Thank you

    Aswin

    Yes, you can use the same copy of the retail of the 32-bit Vista Setup disk you used - the only problem is that it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

    You can have trouble activating due to the new motherboard, so do it manually.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I transfer files between different users on the same computer

    I set myself upward under a different name on my laptop father but necessary for the transfer of files from the original user (IE my father'd Office) to my new! How can I do this?

    The following instructions assume that you want to have two users on the computer and you do not want to move some files from one user to another user.  If this isn't the case, skip the following and post a reply.

    If the above assumption is correct, log in with administrator privileges or the user who currently owns the files and click Start > computer (in the list of the menu Start right under Documents, photos, etc.) and in the computer, double-click the drive where the files are located and then double-click on the 'Users' folder and double-click with the record of the original user and work your way to the files you want to move.  Leave this window open (and possibly drag it to the right of your screen until the mouse touches the edge and it automatically resizes to fit the right of your screen or you can resize it manually).  Then repeat the same instructions (start > computer, etc.) but the second time, when you open the 'Users' folder, navigate to the new user.  The two windows open you can now drag files from one window to the other.

  • Speeds of different treatment on the same computer

    Why I'd get 2 different processing speeds, showing on my computer?  If I go to properties on my computer, it displays 1.79 GHz, but if I go into the information system in the Control Panel, it 777 MHz.  What is important is because we are looking at upgrading our computers XP to Windows 7, but minimum requirement is 1 GHz.  If I don't have that 777 MHz, then, presumably, Windows 7 does not work.  Any help would be appreciated!

None of the programs that I use my account are available on the other 2 accounts? If I try to open a program or file, windows asks each program installation disc? All files, music and photos in each of 2 other problematic accounts disappeared, not where to find them? I tried windows update, nothing happens. I was wondering if something can be done, as a restoration of the system, but there is no restore in xp home system? right?

    mherrg,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  It sounds as if your user profile may be corrupted.  However, when you install a program from an account you must select the option that the program is for all accounts.  If you haven't already done so, you can run a virus scan before you continue.

  • How do I sync and import/export bookmarks between different users on the same computer and two using the Firefox browser?

    All the help instructions are to import and export bookmarks bookmarks between different brands of browsers.

    Assuming that each of these different users use a different profile of Firefox. You can use the built in Fx4 Sync feature. Click on Setup Sync in the menu selections, create an account and then have each user created their profile to use this new account synchronization. It syncs more bookmarks; things like history, passwords, etc. So if it's only the bookmarks you are concerned with that, use customize only synchronize bookmarks when you set up each user. Good luck and have fun in sync.
