How is it difficult to use Windows 7 after working with XP?

How is it hard to get used to Windows 7 for the elderly like me?   Have a small home business.

The basic concepts remain the same, as the start menu, Windows Explorer, task bar, point and click, familiar icons such as Documents, computer, my network places. If you use Windows XP, you should be able to quickly become familiar enough.

Here are some resources;

    Hello Ghostdogaln.

    How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

    If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

  • [p7-1240] How can I find out what graphics cards will work with my motherboard?

    I recently went through the nightmare of trying to install a Gigabyte GTX 650 in my PC. After a few days of struggle and scouring the internet for answers, I discovered that it is not compatible with the BIOS on my motherboard, and HP does not update the BIOS. I returned the card and is now seeking a new, but I'm not sure what card works now, since my computer meet the requirements of system for the graphics card and it stil ldid does not work. Because the GPU manufacturers do not list the specifications of the BIOS under system requirements, how can I know if a graphics card will work with my system?

    My computer is a p7-1240 with a 520W PSU upgrade and approximeately 11 "of space to install the card.

    Thexn, welcome to the forum.

    The problem is a lot of video cards latest require the computer to have a complete UEFI BIOS.  HP began using one in mid-October 2012.  Before that date, the BIOS is the legacy.  This is why the video card does not work with your computer.

    I don't know what you would spend on a card, but MSI is a GTX 750ti which is a VBIOS hybrid.  It has a switch to change to inheritance or UEFI.  Is there a video link directly below the image of a card.  Paul of Newegg gives a complete description of the map.

    I like the best EVGA cards.  Their Support gave me a lot of information on their cards.  However, you will need to return to a GT 640 map to find one of their cards that does not require the UEFI BIOS.  They have a few updates for their BIOS' are which solves the problem, but we must call them for accurate maps.

    Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

  • «Deletion of...» Windows is currently working with a file... »

    I have Windows XP Professional; has attempted to remove photos from my camera memory chip and nothing happened.  I have closed my photo files, removed my photo chip and later tried to shut down my computer.  I get a message

    «Deletion of...» Windows is currently working with a file.  Wait for Windows to finish, or close it before you quit Windows. »

    I tried to re - insert the picture disc, copy photos, look at the pictures, etc.  Still, I get the same message and can't locate anywhere to cancel the deletion process, so I shut down my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry, I should have mentioned, I tried and there was nothing at the end of task display on.  The box is empty.

    ================================
    Maybe restart your computer will be the fix.

  • How to take a screenshot using Windows 7 screen

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Edition. I want to take a screenshot of the homepage of MSN in 31ish Firefox and Internet Explore 11ish to show the difference that I see. MSN.com Firefox display is so bad on my PC that I had to go home pages at http://www.twcc.com/ . I prefer to use MSN.com as I always until they came out with their "New and improved" MSN.com.

    So, if someone can tell me how to take a screenshot using Firefox 31ish MSN.com Web page, I would appreciate the help. Then I'll go to forums on how to do the same thing with the Internet Explorer browser. Then, I'll post the two shots in the Mozilla's Support forums to see if I can find how do Firefox works better for me. Thank you.

    The current versions of Firefox have a built-in feature to take a screenshot as the one of the commands on the toolbar Developer (SHIFT + F2; Firefox 3-bar menu button > developer or tools > Web Developer).

    You can use it if you need only a screenshot sometimes because you must use a command line and can't click a button or use the context menu.

    • A quick way to save a screenshot is to press the 's', and then press the tab key to accept the suggestion of AutoComplete screenshot.
    • You can press the F1 key for context-sensitive help with suggestions where you can select an entry with cursor key and press Tab to copy the entry in the command line
    • You can type a space and two hyphens (-) to see the list of command options and use the Tab key to copy the selected highlighted (for example, fullpage or Clipboard) in the command line entry.

    Note that some commands have their own options and you can type two hyphens at once to see additional options.

    • The default file name is "Screen Shot yyyy-mm-dd to HH.MM.SS.png" in the download directory.
    • For more help, use this command: help the screenshot
