How can I use my HP OEM W98 cd "System Recovery" on a new processor & hardrive (not HP) so that I can have W98 to use my most later bought XP Pro upgrade cd?
I bought a HP with W98 OEM desktop computer installed about 10 years ago. Then about 5 years ago my company offers an XP Pro upgrade for a good price. When I upgraded, first of all, I reformatted the drive, but then XP would be not be installed because it could not find existing W98. So I reinstalled W98 using the HP cd "HP System Recovery" & "HP Application Recovery", then with the XP Pro upgrade. Question: I want to build a new computer for faster components (case, CPU, motherboard, hard drive) 10 years old HP processor is suffocating under the weight of applications & today virus scanners. On a new cpu & hard drive, I can use the "HP System Recovery' (&"Application recovery"if necessary) to repeat the process to get W98 installation so that I can then proceed to Windows XP Pro? Or is the only "HP System Recovery" will install on a card mother HP and W98 vintage cpu? I just can't justify rebuying the entire operating system again and I like XP Pro, but I need new hardware CPU and more/more fast disk drive.
Hi BuyOnceUpgradeOften,
Thanks for posting. As you said, you will need to install the 98 upgrade for XP. As for the installation of 98 on another machine, it may or may not work. You will need to contact HP and see if this is or is not against the terms of the EULA, they you provided, and if you can or can not install it on another machine.
I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

How can I get FF to stop killing my addons by forcing upgrades in my throat?
No addons no advantage to using FF!
You need to let the people decide are they to the high rank or stop each addon in site to denigrate. The fact that voluntarily make you your users to frustration and then to act arogent when asked to stop is just childish. We can vote in the leadership with ethics please! FF became bloatware at the expense of the user experience. Mozilla was once a good company, but now it's the Darth Maul of the Internet. I'll go play with Darth Vader.Man machine Interaction skills SUCK!

How can I get foreign accents on the iPad keyboard Smart Pro?
How can I get foreign accents on the iPad keyboard Smart Pro?
First of all, make sure that you have the right setting. Keyboard keyboard-settings-material and for each software keyboard you have, make sure you select English hardware keyboard, allows you to have the dictionary for the language you want to use, but the keyboard like the physical keyboard layout.
Second, when writing, select the language that you need to write with accents and use "option + e + vowel" for this accents (a, e, i, o, u). For this same result, you can use the button next to return + vowel.
Lovely + key next to return + vowel will give you that (a, e, i, o, u)
Option + N will give you N
These are ones I've found so far and it's more than I need for Spanish, keep trying combinations that make little sense for the language you write and see what works.

How can I get another product key I just bought this laptop of a friend n, she bought from someone else
You can only get a new product key when buying a new copy of Windows.
Check the bottom of the laptop for a sticker with a 25-digit product key. If she says it's for the same edition of Windows that is currently on the computer then you can use it. Otherwise, you can order recovery disks from the manufacturer of the laptop or of a third party as Recovery - Disks.com and restore the computer to its factory condition. Recovery disks don't require entry of a product key during installation.

How can I insert image into the image in adobe first pro cc 2015
How can I insert image into the image in adobe first pro cc 2015. I want to put a fixed image on a video sequence as a pip.
1 import the photo into your project (CTL-I or just drag & drop in the project Panel)
2 dag photo imported on your timeline in a track located above the video you already have.
3. click the clip of the photo in the timeline panel and then click on the control panel of the effect of the Source Panel tab.
4. here you can resize, move, and even rotate the picture of the "query" fixed effect. You can use the sliders or click on the area next to the word "Query" and use your mouse to do everything from the program Panel.
Good luck and have fun. BTW: once you get it you like, you can even animate the PIP to fly in or any other movement, you can think of with keyframes.

How can I put pictures in the most recent at the top of the screen while I scroll more recent instead of to the top?
The album "All Photos" can only be sorted by date, oldest first.
But you can create your own album of all the Photos in a smart album, which keeps all the photoss. A custom Smarta album can be sorted in descending order, most recent photos first.
My album ' my photo all the "custom is defined as: a rule 'Date is after', with a date range beginning well before the oldest photo in the library, then everything will be included, and I added a"Photo is not hidden,"so hidden photos will be excluded.
To sort descending album ctrl-click in the sidebar and value 'out' 'Keep sorted by date, most recent first':

How can I fix? Vertical stripes in still picture first pro?
Hi Gemma,
Go to the file/project settings/general and change the rendering on "Mercury Playback Engine software only" engine.
Press OK, you will get a dialog box in which select "remove previews."
Try these steps and it should work.
The best suggestion is to update your OSX 10.11.1
Kind regards
