How to tell if more of a Windows XP, and operating systems on the computer?
How will I know if I have more than one windows xp home edition installed on my computer? Thanx
Hey all first if you had more than one OS on your computer, when you started it, you get a screen asking which OS you want to boot to.
Why you think you have more than one home winXP computer?

Original title: System Restore
How to restore my system when I bought it? No disk when I got it.
I can not open a new document in works 9 says file is missing? System Restore has new date
I want to go further? is there a way? Windows Vista home Premium SP2
Hello
System Restore puts your computer's settings to a date earlied.
You mean that recovery of the system.
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
See you soon.

Hello dandy175,
This is perfectly normal. Using just the telephone option to activate.
See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm
Either way, edit your message and remove the key data product until someone steals! Never enter the details key product or email addresses in the messages of the forum. It's for your own safety.

Update never went looking for server.
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download the program Firefox and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg).
Firefox 4 and later requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later versions) can be found here:- Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

Left attack virus serious that some files disabled in windows 7 (protected by Microsoft Security Essential) a program used on the computer was left partially disabled and I continue when using wireless internet. Reformatted drive leaving 100 MB Partition intact, created in new OS was an old file of Windows not wanted, impossible any attempt at the value of the days of updates, downloads & allowing also noticed wifi. Another reader reformat leaving 100 MB partition again not affected since the original OS. All programs loaded & all updates succeeded, but still did not have through any discussion read to get the computer to WiFi wifi as in Starbucks invites you to discover. I have another operating system on the computer that is able to discover drive internet wifi from loading with windows 7 so not a hardware problem, I think. Question is can a formatted drive on the left with its original partition of 100 MB OS questions with new reloaded windows 7 and is the new installation of the operating system clearly & repopulate this partition of 100 MB for no bug cannot continue to corrupt and better performance? Thank you all.
A new installation of windows 7 can be said to delete this partition. do you when you get to the section "where do you want to install windows?" in installing windows 7. There is a player options button that allows you to delete both partitions... then create 1 new partition for windows and it throws a message saying that the operating system can create additional partitions... blah blah... and she... that way the 100 MB partition is clear.

Hello
I get the error "reference data are not available for release 12.1 on the distribution of the Windows XP5.1 operating system" when the installation program runs the verification of prerequisites to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio. I am running Windows 7 Enterprise on 64-bit computer. Am I missing another precondition that I'm not aware of this couldn't cause this error?
Thank you!
Hello world
There is a bug in the installer. Here is the workaround:
After checking the installation program is not running, please open that file in the staging area where you have unpacked ODAC:
...\stage\cvu\cv\admin\cvu_config
And in this file, change the CV_ASSUME_DISTID value that is there to 6.1
Save the changes, and then rerun Setup.
This will force the installer to requires that you have Windows 7.
Thank you

I have a notebook Acer Aspire comes with Windows 7 Home premium and has started to act up, so I had someone to upgrade to Windows 7 ultimate, but the first installation works very well, so they have installed it again and it worked. Now when I start my laptop it invites me to choose an operating system on the listed two. The one I choose is on the 'C' drive and it works well, but the "D" player fails to start and will prompt you for the Startup Repair, I want to just remove it from my laptop. Could someone please tell me how.
Oops - sorry
I realize that you still have the original OS (I think) and Win7 Ultimate adds another Partition
(thought you had replaced Home Premium with final).
Have not read your OP done properly I have?
Begin your Win7 Home Premium and go to disk management, and then delete the partition D:\.
(Type - disk management in the start menu search bar).
You can then reformat as a new partition.
Your laptop should always have the recovery for service partition, you may need to the
Version of HP that came with it is that need now or in the future.
Laptops usually come with a Windows CD. Instead they use the restore partition method.
BTW - "Ultimate" is not really an upgrade, the main difference is with additional security features, and
possibility to use XP MODE with old programs of the company which is not compatible with Win7.

Can someone tell me how to upgrade the operating system on the MacPro?
I have a MacPro1.1 which works fine, but now I can't use LightroomCC on that because the OS is no longer supported. Can someone tell me how to upgrade the operating system on the MacPro?
Your Mac Pro 2006 supports only as high as Lion unless you use a hack.
If you want Lion then order a code to download here:

and then use the code in the Mac App Store.
If you need higher that the Lion then Google for the hack

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
