Hello, I get upgraded my computer and change the card mother and new CPU.__Is it no problem to install my OS. and re-activation. ???

Activation

If you have a retail version of XP, there will be no problem. A repair installation may or may not work. Of course you will be smart and save your data on an external first.

If you have a version of XP OEM, it is related to the original computer on which it is installed. Since replacing the motherboard and processor you effectively create a new computer, you must purchase a new copy of XP in this case.

  • I can't open files EXE Application on my computer, it changed the defult for winRAR archiver

    My operating system is windows 7 ultimate.

    Im not dumb with computers, but I just can't get around this problem.

    I can't open files EXE Application on my computer, it changed the defult to winRAR archiver. Thus, every program you open is saying he can't open the application, because the file is damaged or is homesick forrmat. IV tried a way with the windows command prompt, but cannot be opened because its an applacation EXE. so I not unhooked retained winrar, but if you open an exe file it askes you to choose a program to open it with. so I can't change it back to windows defult.

    So I can not open a file on my computer does not even internet explore im having to use a friends computer.

    My screen iphone6 is cracked and in my country, they can only change the iphone with a new one and with a very high price. Is there anyway that I could replace just the screen?

    No, if you want to keep all rights to the service or support from Apple. Not to mention the fact that it then will be bork Touch ID and make the phone unusable if ever, you restore or update of iOS.

    Apple doesn't sell parts of the iPhone. There is no legitimate sources for replacement screens.

  • 23 envy d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB IPISB - NK. How to upgrade the video card?

    I have a HP Envy 23 d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB (pegatron) IPISB-NK.  It has a PCI slot available for upgrade of the video.  I want to do this.  I intend to use the pc for video processing and maybe a few games.

    How to pass the video?

    What cards are best for this system?

    What has changed in the BIOS or other settings I should do?  How can I get them?

    Thank you

    Art

    The PCIe MXM slot is for HP install graphics cards in some models CTO (configure-to-order). Without the card installed when you purchased the computer, there the fan and radiator bad sets. You will need to buy a graphics card and the heatsink / fan of HP to try to upgrade the GPU in your computer. There is an extensive disassembly involved in this procedure. All-in-One computers have much more in common with laptops than they do with traditional desktop computers.

    Honestly, if you want to do video processing and games... you should get a traditional desktop with enough CPU and GPU for these activities.

  • I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use.

    Quick question: I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use, when it is not.

    The question for a long time: I've updated two disks in my computer from 1 TB to 2 TB. They were e and K:. The KC: drive is used as a backup of data on E: drive.

    I copied all the data on the old drive E: to the new, but when I put the new drive in place of the old, XP wouldn't let me assign the E: drive letter. It is ironic that several times, I see the warning that if you change a drive letter, some programs may not work - so of course that Microsoft is aware of this problem - however, it is annoying when you NEED to change a drive letter to OPERATE programs, but Windows won't let you. Sometimes, trying to protect users from doing stupid things prevents them from making things work...

    Anyway, after some research, I discovered that if I put the drive E: OLD and "remove" the drive of her letter, then the letter E: becomes available again. It did not work, and my computer is now partially satisfied with his new E: drive. However, the same trick with the new drive K: does NOT work.

    I removed the letter 'k': the old K: drive, but when I install a new one, it won't let me change it. It happens to be stuck at 'l': it's no use to me because backup programs are ready to use the K:\ path.

    There is that no "K:" drive in my computer and I deleted the letter k: the old disk. How do I FORCE XP to designate the new drive K: so that my backup program can work again?

    Thank you.

    Did you try to start your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly, key to tap the F8 as your computer starts) and then try to re-assignment of drive letters?
    I think that some programs on your machine may be playing with your drive letters.  Boot safe mode will allow Windows to operate with a minimum of processes that are running and you should be able to change drive letters in these conditions.

  • HP Deskjet 710C does not print colors (also after changing the cartridge with a new one)

    HP Deskjet 710C on Windows XP

    Problem: Printer does not print color. Black printing works. It also does not print color now, I changed the color with a new cartridge. Remove the printer from Windows XP and reinstall also does not resolve it. Also by using the option in Windows/printer driver for the cleaning cartridge has failed. Anyone know a solution to this?

    There is a document about the lack of color of the issues on the printer Deskjet 710C that can be found here.

    I hope this helps!

    How can I change the units on a new doc for printing? My preferences are already in inches.

    The new Document dialog box does not facilitate a change of units, although you can type any unit in its fields.

    After the removal of the new Document dialog box, you can right click on a rule to choose different units, or launch the Preferences dialogue box and choose different units in the Panel units and increments. Here, your settings will be saved with the document and should not affect new documents.
