How to install older programs on vista and how to return to my operating system 32-bit to 64-bit
Hello
Question 1. Son of my cousin says I could install my older programs. For example, I tried to install 'Of Corel Painter 6' on vista. He said to install it in a 32-bit something or other. I understand completely, so I tried and failed, so I used Vista Help for install. I used the "Program Compatibility Wizard". I tried over and over and over until that program would not load at all... always load, just turn... and now my Control Panel has been restored to the 32-bit operating system. But my System acknoledges again whatever the 64-bit operating system. I recognize the icons in the Panel to be different, I do not remember how I know that it is 32-bit, but I read somewhere. And now my Corel painter 6 will not download at all... do not recogonizing my serial number. Which he did before.
Can someone please help me get back my pc to be the operating system fully 64-bit?
Can question 2: Anyone tell me how I can add my old programs to my new pc w/vista?
I don't have a faboulous HP Touchsmart PC IQ505 product: KZ631AA with Vista Home Premium. I don't know if you need the product not or not...?
Please help me.
Thank you.

Hi guys,.
I ended up calling the son of my cousin again. He hooked my PC to his town to mine. It was pretty cool. I'm sorry, I was wrong. My pc has not changed. The 32-bit color is that it always has, did not fair. Control Panel icons are just enlarged, made it seem so different, that I knew something was wrong. I feel so stupid, but so happy that nothing is wrong with my pc.
On question #2...
I managed to download my painter program 6... I was printing the letter O instead of number 0. I can't believe the difference, but it did. Thus it has downloaded. Then I have the icon one click right and select "run as administrator and this is it opens.
Now, books, I, I know to open anything, I have to go around and save the Picts in another program like photoshop to convert the file in "RGB" file, then it will open in my program. Kind of pain, but at least it works like that. AND I did not buy another program.
So, thanks for your help, but I'm Out of Here!

When you buy an individual monthly plan for CC at $50 per month, how many computers which can install you programs CC on and how many computers can use programs at the same time?
Thank you for your answer!
You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone. If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it. You can use apps on a single computer at a time.
Kind regards

Thank you very much!
Hi deacon829,
You did changes to the computer before that happened?
Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,
Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program
If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.
Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.
Look for steps to restore of the system in the link below:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore
If the problem persists,
Step 4: A scanner online for any threat and try to correct

Hello
I keep getting error messages when I use the computer. It started two days after you download an update from Windows. A sample of the error is:
C:\windows\system32\difxapi32.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
I use a vista. I don't know how to solve this problem, many want to help.
Thank you.
Hi Colinthebrave:
Start with this little tool to help get rid of the error, once your system is stable again and then try to run your updates again.
Thank you for your message; Let us know how it goes.
o
o The System Restore tool
If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.
3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
4. click on finish.
The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

How to change operating system 32 bit vista to w7 64 bit__

How do I - I am 58 and not technical
You will need to boot from the DVD and do a custom Setup to change bit sizes.
Put the DVD in your computer and restart it. If restarting the computer to your current operating system, then you will need to enter your BIOS to change the boot order, and you might be better off getting help to change the boot order. If the computer restarts on the DVD of 64-bit windows 7, and then just follow the instructions on the screen, and 64-bit Windows 7 will be installed on your computer.

My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive. Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased. If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping. My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it. What can I do? Thank you for your information.
When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Here's a cool way, go to this site and it will just detect it and say you:

But another way is to press on +R on the keyboard, and run the winver command
When you run it, it will appear a dialog box with your Version of Windows is displayed.For a little more detail and modern way, hold and press "Pause/break" of the keyboard. It will appear a box of more modern. It's also funny that pressing +Break is the trick to show this :)

People,
Hello.
Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.
I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.
I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.
People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?
Thanks in advance
Hello
IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements
It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.
Best wishes / Saludos.
