• Need to find a way to install Win Vista Home (I have my own series) for Win 7 Upgrade post.

  My laptop came with Windows Vista, and I recently bought an upgrade to Windows 7 for her. The upgrade works only as an upgrade, not as a stand-alone installation.
  My computer recently crashed, and with top Vista recovery CD is defective, so I have no way to use the upgrade CD.
  Is it possible to arrange a download of the Vista test for my to validate with my own serial number or to order a copy?

  Hello

  Here are different ways to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Check if you have a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Need to find old e-mail messages on an external hard drive on old laptop

  I need to find an email that I sent to my old laptop. I have the hard drive in an external case connected to my new laptop. How can I find my sent emails?

  If you use OE, then search for *.dbx.  The files are hidden, so you will need to go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types and select the option to show the hidden files and folders.  You will then need to something, as my DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) program to extract messages from dbx files.

  If you had Vista and use Windows Mail, while messages are stored eml files are individually (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background).  Similarly, if you use Windows Live Mail, messages are eml files.

  If you use Outlook, then search for a pst file.

  Otherwise, it would be useful answer your question if you told us what email program you use, as shown in Palcouk.

• I can hear Halo: combat evolved, but it appears on my screen, it is off the screen, somewhere.

  
  

  I used my tv as a second monitor and still could not find it. I know that halo works because I played it before on this computer. Is there a way to indicate to the program to open to some a monitor? Should I reinstall halo?

  Hello

  I had similar problem. In my case the game properly on the my plasma tv (connected over wi - fi). But work later... strangely, I'm sure that its to do with drivers video, but not sure...
  So, here is the workaround. Start Halo on your primary monitor, and then minimize the game (press alt + tab or windows button + d). Now connect your computer to your TV. After you are connected, you can maximize the Halo tab on your taskbar and should play the game!
  Please let me know if it works...

• Impossible to install Halo Combat evolved Version 1 on Windows 7

  So far, I have found the windows operating system 7 is very useful. However, when trying to install my old previous OS games, he runs problems. For example, I can not install the .msi or Halo Combat evolved Version 1 icefields.map file and therefore cannot play the game. It worked on my last, XP 64-bit, the computer and should work on Windows 7, as it worked on an OLDER operating system. I know you have had this problem with other games too and that the store doesn't have to work on the extension .msi files, but I don't see why one of these occur. There is no logic that the convenience store would work on the extension .msi files (although I'm not a computer expert) and I guess it would be an eassy and interesting problem to solve, as many of the issues online were based on this. Also, I was particularly surprised that Halo has not worked because it was made by Microsoft, is still commonly used and would be easy to send an additional patch on fixing the problem. Finally, I had planned and currently still plan to buy the newest games from Microsoft and halo (and many others, more recent games), but I think that the incompatibility between Windows 7 and these older games is unacceptable, a scam full and easy to fix. Sorry for the bother you and I hope this issue is resolved quickly.

  To say the things in question form: Microsoft can solve this problem, so that its customers are satisfied by the new operating system?

• Halo Combat evolved - installation problem - invalid CD Key?

  So I bought Halo Combat Evolved for PC and tried to install it when it came today. Everything was fine. The computer is restarted after installation. Then, when I click on the shortcut, the game says my CD key is not valid, and I need to uninstall and reinstall before I could play.

  Problem is that I can't understand how to install it. I went to my control panel and went to uninstall/change program, but it is not which are listed there. Not at all! How can I uninstall something when it is not yet here? Also? How my CD key is the problem? I know that I input correctly!

  Alright. So apparently, you open Halo in your Microsoft Games folder on your computer (if it's where everyone installs it as I did). In this case, scroll to UNINSTAL. EXE... why the _ it must be uninstalled in a stupid way is beyond me. I'm starting to regret this purchase already.

• Halo: Combat Evolved not install because af a failed copy in a10.map

  Hi Microsoft responds.

  I recently tried to install Halo: Combat Evolved on my PC.

  I entered the product key and it started to install, but after copyed 2% of the files, it stops at: a10.map

  Here, he tells me he has a disk problem, and I need to check if the place I copy that it is already in use, which is not and check if I have enough disk space on the C: drive, what I'm doing.

  How can I fix it?

  Christian barks

  I'll try running it in compatibility mode.

  Most of the games are compatible with Win7. I know for a fact that halo is compatible, as I have on my win7 64 bit system and it works fine. It might be a problem with the actual CD.

  If you have the cd key, you can download an .iso of the halo installation CD and allows to install it.

  Or, if you intend to play Halo for the multiplayer, I would say get Halo: Custom Edition (requires a cd-key) here:http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=410

  It's the same as Halo with 2 major differences. 1. you can not play the solo mode directly (the campaign is not displayed in the menu and the cards are not in the folder program files) and 2. personalized cards (as in all new cards, not only the cards that have been modded) can be played. There are many custom maps and they are very fun to play.

  As I said you can not read 'directly' solo in Custom Edition, however it is possible. Just download campaign maps, here:http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=1&sid=35

  These solo cards were made by mapping team CMT and include changes and improvements on the original maps (for example, vehicles and weapons of halo 2). Once you have downloaded the maps, turn on the console (go to the properties of the halo CE shortcut and add - console at the end of the target line.) Thus, for example, "C:\Users\Custom Edition.exe \Desktop\Halo" - console

  Once the console is enabled, start the game, open the console with ~ (1 left) and type in map_name

  If my explanation is not very good, there is also an article here: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?nid=386

• Halo: Combat Evolved for PC works only on Windows Vista - Error Message "" unload the debugger, and then try again."

  I'm having a problem running Halo: Combat Evolved on Windows Vista. I can insert the disc and install the game without problem. The problem is that when I try to launch the game, I get error message saying "" unload the debugger, and then try again." I tried to install some of Halo patches to see if that would fix the error (for example, 1.6 and 1.7), but when I try and open the patch .exe file I get an error message telling me to go to a microsoft Web site or try to update the game manually. In addition, I tried to contact Gearbox Software to see if they could help me, all they said was to contact Microsoft.

  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the game does not work for me and how can I make it work?

  Let me know, thanks. :)
