How to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit, when I have Windows XP 32-bit by using the version "upgrade windows 7."
I had been using windows XP 32 bit before decide me get windows 7. I have read around and thought you could buy the "version upgrade of windows 7" and go for 32-bit windows xp to windows 7 64 bit. Unfortunately, when I got home to do a clean installation of windows 7, I received an error message when I put in the 64-bit and says that the disc is not compatible with my current windows. I called Mircrosoft and they told me that with the version of windows upgrade 7 "" you can't go from 32 to 64-bit, that I would need to get the full version of this one for $200 here in the Canada. Unfortunately, at this time, I have the product installed and running. I'm a bit disappointed in this light my 6 GB of ram go lose and not to mention my $120 I spent. So I wanted to know are another that blow $200 for full windows 7 and lose my $120 on the updated version, is there another method to get the 64-bit? Because at this point, I am at a total loss.
You can go from 32-bit XP to Windows 7 64 bit by doing a custom (clean) install with an upgrade version disk. You don't need to buy a full version disc. But you can't start from the upgrade disk.
I don't know what you have installed now. If XP is installed, turn on the computer, insert the DVD upgrade after start XP and follow the prompts. This method might also work if 32-bit Windows 7 is installed. If not, maybe to re - install XP to start the upgrade.

I have a DAQ Assistant configured to read 2 channels at the same time. When I have a graphical indicator of wire to the output, I see 2 signals mixed together. How I divided them into separate signals?
When I wire any type of indicator, it is show that a release of a single channel.
I want 2 indicators showing 2 different signals as expected from 2 channels configured. How to do this?
I tried to use split signal but it end by showing that 1 out of 1 signal two indicators.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you are right. I tried, but I don't have the result.
I just find the path. When we launch the split signal, we should expand it (split signal icon) by top, not the bottom. It took me a while to understand this.
Thank you

When you try to connect to my router using the IP address, he continues to ask for a password of windows security. I don't know what it is, I tried recording with every combination I can think. Can anyone help?
If you do not know the password of the router, then chances are good that you will need to reset it to the factory settings. Google your model and you should be able to find the instructions.
I hope this helps.

When I have a pdf file open, I used to be able to click on the "Bookmarks" tab on the left side and allow me to click on every page and delete if I had to. Now when I click on the Bookmarks tab, this section is empty. How can I show him each page once again?
Hi chrismarks1,
I think you can be confused bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click on the miniatures Page icon (the one above the bookmarks icon), you can delete a page by clicking on its thumbnail, clicking the delete page (icon of the Recycle Bin). Just make sure that you see the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), you cannot remove the drive pages.
Best,
Sara

Well, Windows XP and Windows 7 are versions of upgrade as you claim, that means XP used a qualifying version of Windows that is pre-installed with the system used the upgrade of the command.
This means, Windows XP and Windows 7 are both related to this version of Windows that came with the system. Because the copy of the original Windows supplied with the system would have been an OEM license, which means, Windows 7 and XP have more rights to transfer if you change the motherboard.
