• Upgrade Vista to 7 the SafeMode problem with the compatibility report

  I'm trying to upgrade my computer to Windows 7 after problems with Vista, and now I can start only my computer into safe mode now.

  The update disc work until I get to the "compatibility report" in which it gives me the message: "the computer started using the Windows installation disc.  Remove the installation disc and restart your computer so that windows starts normally, then restart the update."

  This message appears in safe mode with networking, which was started without the installation disc inserted.  I then restarted and booted from the DVD and tried to update again, and he gave me the same message (which makes sense because I boot from the disk).

  This message occurs when I start in safe mode or safe mode with network.

  Is there anyway to solve this problem, so I can go ahead with the update?  Also, I can't start my computer in normal mode to respect the indications that gives me this message.

• Since Vista upgrade of fonts on the pages Web resembles a printer on insufficient ink. Note, this is not a printer problem, but a problem of display. How can I fix this?

  I've recently updated WIndows Vista with Microsoft updates. After the reboot, the fonts on most of the pages in Firefox and my word processing program, (StarOffice not MS Word), light, incomplete, appearance part of the letter low while the rest is dark. Looks like, what I can only describe as, a printer on insufficient ink. I tried to increase the font size, reboot again.

  I suspect the problem with Windows and not Firefox but I'm lost as to how to correct the problem, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

  You can check your ClearType or other parameters of smoothing of police. I think that this page requires IE: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/tune.aspx

• I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista on a Tablet PC and have since upgraded to Windows 8. Can I re-use the upgrade of Windows 7 on an another Vista PC?

  I have a Tablet PC originally shipped with Vista installed. I've upgraded to Windows 7 disk 3 license and have since upgraded to Windows 8 with promo code I got when purchasing a new office.

  Can I reuse the license to move an other PC from Vista to Windows 7, since the upgrade to Windows 8 would have been valid for a Vista upgrade?

  Yes, you can transfer the license of Windows 7 on another computer. Why, because the basic license is Windows Vista.

• Since the upgrade to 11.0.11, document relative cross links when viewing the PDF in the browser don't work is no longer

  I maintain a web application that contains hundreds of PDF files that contain relative links, among other documents.  The application relies on getting the Base URL of the Adobe Acrobat web plug-in to navigate between different PDF documents while viewing in the browser (the links do not work in a standalone Acrobat window).  Since the upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Reader 11.0.11 last week, these links no longer function (I checked they still work in 11.0.10).  I also have the same problem in Acrobat 10.1.14 (worked in 10.1.13).  I have tried all the other versions.  It seems that updates broke the functionality of our application invoked for the past ten years.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  It is a change that seems to work for Adobe Reader 11.0.11 but I can't find any documentation / web post of what he does.

  One would have details of these entries to registry FeatureState?

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureState

  3836776 = DWORD: 00000000

  I also have Internet< display="" in="" read="" mode="" by="" default="" disabled="">

  HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral

  bBrowserDisplayInReadMode = DWORD: 00000000

  For 10.1.14 I found that follows would work, but same as above no documentation or approval from Adobe.

  Hi Jeremy,.

  Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
  There were a total of 10 updates:
  4 a security updates for Vista,
  1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
  1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
  1 windows Live essential 2011
  1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
  1 "" for Office 2010 "
  1 April 2013 malware tool
  I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
  I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
  Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
  How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
  Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

Mine is out of warranty, so no help from Best Buy or Acer without paying their
