How to use my old XP upgrade without an earlier version installed

I have windows vista ultimate installed on my computer and I want to reinstall windows xp in a virtual machine on my vista computer.so I can run the software that does not work on vista. My xp software that I've upgraded to vista itself is an upgraded version that I used to upgrade windows 2003 or 2000, I do not remember who. When I try to install my xp he wants an old version installed to upgrade - I threw his predecessor years ago. Can someone help me use my bought and paid for the xp software?

Hi mlbmentor,

Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the public on the TechNet site. Please post your question in the Sub forum.

    Hi PhillipBunting,

    1 Windows operating system you are using?

    If you are using Windows 7, you can consult the following link to check the compatibility of the game.

    You can try to try to run the game in Windows 95 compatibility mode, and check if that helps. Execution of convenience store compatibility is just a workaround solution, if this does not help, you might need go to the new version of the game.

  • How to use the run as command without a password in XP

    Hi there ;)
    See, me and my father have administrator accounts on a computer running Windows XP. Sometimes, I do not want to connect as myself (I want to use some of its apps while I use my own) but I still want to run commands like me (for example start firefox like me) while I'm logged into his account.

    We both don't have passwords, but when I use the Runas command either right click or the command line on my father's account, I get the error "failed to connect. The possible reasons are blank passwords." When I give myself a password, I do not get this message, but my password is empty, I get this message. How to use runas without password?

  • How to use the effects of scroll in the new version of Muse reactive

    So I upgraded to the new version of the Muse 2015.1 and I liked the idea of being able to design a site fluid, but... I can no longer use scrolling effects unless I go back to a single fixed point break.

    So the question is, with the help of fluid width, how can I have my head bigger and drop scroll out and have a smaller version in there with navigation, as use scrolls to the bottom of the page?

    Before I could do with scroller?

    Any thoughts would be great.

    Thank you

    B

    Scroll effects are the only way you can do it natively in Muse. There may be a third party widget that allows you to do.

    I hope this helps.

  • NB500: How to use the DVD of recovery without a DVD player in the netbook?

    Background:

    I have a 500 NB of Netbook that came with a Win7 Starter. I've upgraded to Win8 but doesn't like the wsn can't resolution screen high enough to open applications. The system became slower and slower like time, I decided to reset the device back to the original settings by using the Win8 function.

    Progress in this process has been extremely slow and after seven hours (60% in fact) I had a scare that the content of my HARD disk can be copied somewhere on the web (cloud of NSA?  :)).

    I turned off the unit and then nothing would no longer work. I bought the recovery software with WIN7 Starter of Toshiba Support that I couldn't find an ISO for WIN7 starter file, but it happened on a DVD...

    I have:
    + NB 500
    + Toshiba Recovery DVD
    + Bootable USB stick (I created this)
    + Product key for Win7 Starter

    Question:
    What files are required to install Win7 from scratch (move files from DVD to the USB bootable)?
    This procedure deletes old data from the HARD drive or will it take space?

    Concerning
    LS1 - d

    It is not just that you think it is. As much as I know, you can't manipulate the data of recovery and work on your own boot media.

    A better and easier way for you is to get somewhere external USB ODD and use for installation of recovery image. I NB520 and I bought external BD ODD and can use it for various actions such as the installation of the software for example.

    I m wondering really you didn't create recovery USB drive. That was my first step after I bought this machine. Product key you have on the Microsoft sticker doesn't help. You can't use it for OS installation if you are using the version of the OS clean and you don t need it if you use original recovery image.
    After the installation of recovery image pre-installed Windows version is correctly activated.
    > Will this procedure remove old data from the HARD drive or will it take space?
    Yes. The whole HARD disc will be deleted so until you start with the installation of backup recovery image all your important data.

  • How to use NI CAN behave DBC without a CAN Interface information retrieval?

    Hello

    I'm looking for some tips in order to extract information from DBC using the NI CAN without a CAN interface...

    Basically, I have a few DBC files and I would like to analyze in order to get the hierarchy of channels and Messages (and their related information, offset, scale, etc.).

    http://www.NI.com/white-paper/4294/en/

    The function CAN get names is useful and it is me according to the mode for the list of the channels and the Messages described in the DBC file. However, I have a major problem, and nothing less, I can't use the CAN Get property function... Because it featured a connector based on the task that I can't provide because I have no real and physical CAN interface, for now. This is why I can't have information on the channels either on messages...

    Is someone can give me a hand to solve this issue?

    Hello

    Thanks, looks like it works now.

    Thank you for your support.

    Yet, I think it's the XNET and CAN libraries are a bit difficult to handle, a bit powerful but difficult to treat first.

  • How to use the transformation of perspective without AutoScaling?

    I'm trying to stretch an image to adapt to another that is already in the offing. However, when I stretch it, it automatically adjusts based on perspective... uh... Here are some images.

    If it's the original:

    Screenshot_1.png

    It is the result of the transformation:

    Screenshot_2.png

    What I want is for the horizontal lines to remain equidistant from each other, instead of spaced based 'distance '.

    I know GIMP lets you do this, I don't know how to do in Photoshop.

    However, when I stretch it, it automatically scales based on perspective

    If the image you want to match was flat and was photographed less perfectly front-end it probably displays a similar reduction.

    In any case the result with equidistance may be achieved with Warp seems.

  • How can I install CS6 Production Premium upgrade without having to re - install CS5.5?

    I need to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium on my OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks). CS6 bought as an upgrade for my CS5.5. I can't reinstall CS5.5 because it does not appear to support the new OSX (the installer won't work). CS6 appears to be able to install, but when I enter the serial number, it says that I need CS5.5 already installed.

    I'm working on a tight schedule and hoping that someone tell me what I need to do... Thank you!

    When you go to activate CS6, it should indicate that your serial number is valid but cannot find a product calling it on the machine (it would be CS5.5).  There is a selection list where you select the previous version (CS5.5) as well as an entry where you enter the serial number for this older version.
