• If I downgraded from Vista to XP Pro business, can I go back to Vista Business later?

  I bought 11 of these machines in early 2008.  They are machines HP DC5800 comes with Vista business with the ability to go back to XP Pro.  I was not sure about Vista yet again on my work network so I spent in them.  Now that has been support for XP until 2014 and Vista has improved with the SP1, I expect these machines to upgrade to Vista now that I have Windows Vista Business OEM product keys.

  Am I allowed to upgrade to Vista with OEM product key I have?

  Am I allowed to upgrade to Vista with OEM product key I have?

  You should have a product key for Windows Vista. Yes, you can use Windows VIsta Business because it is what came with the machine and is probably on the CoA sticker on the unit itself.  You have also bought the right to downgrade to Windows XP.  You can use an operating system on these machines and switch back if necessary.  What I can't say is whteher or not will require a clean install, because it is OEM software.  (Vista to XP - clean install only... OEM XP to Vista OEM, I don't remember.)

  But I think I should comment on a few things...

  You mentioned Windows Vista SP1? (Released 2008-03-18).  Given that Windows Vista SP2 is now (aired on 25/05/2009), you are not just back - you are far behind.  Probably more than a hundred patches AFTER SP2 as well.

  Personally - for a company (or personal) - I switch to Vista and get Windows 7.  However, this would cost money.  Given that you are still an 11 year old operating system now and considering just the upgrade to an operating system almost 6 years now, on the edge of another new OS coming out in a few months - put two OSes still behind the curve...  This probably isn't something you / your company is ready to do.  Maybe because the software that you have does not work on a modern operating system?

  -These PCs you have, they have Celeron processors.  You're probably better from a performance perspective - without spending money - not even their upgrade to Windows Vista.  Maybe if you have 3 + GB of memory in each...?

  You can watch the lifecycle for Vista Business too:

  and

  You are already in the cycle of extended support for Windows Vista, just as you are for Windows XP.

  April 8, 2014 is the end of extended support (no more patches for Windows XP) and April 11, 2017 for Windows Vista.  Yes - 3 years - but these machines (hardware) have been at the end of life for a while. especially if they have processors celeron as the web page for the given model.

• Best graphics card for DC5800 microtour help standard feed format

  Hello

  I have a 3 GHz running Vista with 4 GB memory DC5800.  I do not hi end game just to stuff like Bejewelled.

  I'm looking to put a video card. I already have an identical machine under XP. Who has a NVidia quattro 290. 256 MB

  I am watching a 512 GB or even 1 GB or more, but suspect that my choice will be very limited because I don't want the hassle of changing the standard 300W power supply.

  I read somewhere for advice on this forum that a Galaxy GEForce NVidia 9600 card will do the job she uses only the 60Watts.

  I got an ASUS Nvidia GEForce 9600GT 512 MB card, which attracts up to 75W. Will I be OK with that, please?

  Any other suggestions for 512 or 1 GB graphics cards with low energy consumption gratefully received. Maybe the Radeon HD 5450?

  Thanks a lot El Varche

  Hi, El Varche:

  If you like Nvidia cards I'd throw in a GT 630, which, according to the specifications, works with a 300 W P/S.

  http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-gt-630/specifications

  Get a video card with a 128-bit memory interface.

  Some models to choose from below.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/ProductList.aspx?submit=Ene & N =-1 & IsNodeId = 1 & Description = gt % 20630 & Bop = and & Order = Rating & PageSize = 20

  You can easily change the P/s in a business office in HP, so you almost have to work within the one you have.

  I am the 2nd owner of computer and appears as former owner had installed a Dell on this HP operating system. would be OK but drive hard contains of disk errors that Windows cannot fix. Leading to intermittent shutdowns and all kinds of fluctuations to get a Win 7 upgrade disk to restart Windows. HP does not sell the RRD more. I'd be willing to pay for the discs, if someone has a set of left.

  Hello:

  Most of the dc5800 comes with Windows Vista Business or Vista Business downgraded to XP Pro, like yours, so HP has never had recovery disc for the dc5800 W7.

  https://h10057.www1.HP.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/KA404UT.htm

  You call this number (USA/Canada) to see if HP recovery Vista Business left discs?

  Demand for 64-bit because otherwise you will get 32 bits.

  1-800-334-5144

  If they do not, you can still get a set of this provider not HP - looks like only 32-bit however.

  You can call and ask if they have Vista Business 64-bit games.

• HP DC5800 SFF PC (NV321UA #ABA) 32-bit

  I was wondering if I could put in the following processor to move to 64-bit:
  
  Intel Core 2 Duo E8600
  
  Also, I have to change the motherboard too? If so, any suggestions?

  Hello:

  All processors in a dc5800 are capable of 64-bit.

  Depending on the number of product for your PC, it comes with the E8400.

  Here are the specs on this Intel processor.

  who touches that I need to install XP from the disk and type in the Code. Other people have used any other product keys of other machines from what I've read - it's strictly legal? I called Microsoft who said I need to contact HP to get a product key?

  As a reminder, I need to know...

  -What media windows can I install with (OEM, retail, HP etc..?)

• DC5800 bios update

  I have a HP Compaq originally shipped with XP Pro dc5800 and now has Window 7 Pro.  The reference is AK819AW #ABA.  He has BIOS version 786F2 v01.04 dated 31/01/2008.  I was looking on the HP site for an update of the BIOS for it and found nothing in the section Windows 7.  I found a version of bios Rev 1.59. available in Windows XP and Windows Vista sections.

  If I download the update of the bios of the section of Windows Vista Business 64 bit, it'll work on my pc?  If this is not the case, how update the BIOS on this pc?

  Hello:

  You cannot use the flash in W7 windows-based, but you should be able to update the BIOS by reading the instructions after you download and run the file to put the contents of the DOS based flash on a USB key and update directly from the BIOS.

  That's what I did on my CMT dc7800 which is roughly a dc5800 with a Q35 chipset and an extra drive Bay.

• DC5800 compact Format: order of Installation of drivers

I first installed the OS and the applicable service packs. After that, I want to know how to do properly. Thanks for any help I receive.

  Hello:

  The only drivers that you need to worry about installing it in a specific order are these...

  1. install the Intel chipset installation and restart utility.

  2. install the applicable graphics driver and restart.

  3. install the audio driver and restarted.

  4 install the ethernet driver (cable network).

  Then you can install the other drivers in no particular order (if done reboot).

• Music from Apple on Windows Vista

  Hello

  I want to subscribe to Apple music etc, but the upgrade will not take effect, apparently due to the fact that my laptop running Windows Vista. Of course, this is not normal? How can I subscribe to the Apple's music on the Windows Vista system without being forced to invest in a costly upgrade of my operating system?

  Hello

  You cannot use Apple music on Windows vista. iTunes 12.3 or later is required for Apple music. If you want to use Apple music you need to update your operating system (computer?).

• I'm running Thunderbird ver15 under Win Vista. Gmail considers ver15 a low security application. How updated to a version that works with Gmail?

  This worm is working great for years. Suddenly, Gmail could not accept my sign-in. I have auto day together in Thunderbird, but it won't go past worm 15. Only after that I changed the setting in Gmail to enable low security Gmail applications would allow me in my emails via Thunderbird. I could connect to Gmail via the web very well, but not via Thunderbird. Could this be a problem with Vista?

  Thank you

  Then I tried to configure server authentication to "OAuth2" method, but this option was not available. in the drop-down list.

  "OAuth2" only works for IMAP accounts. For POP "Normal password" is required, either in "allow applications that are less safe" or authentication step 2.

  You can set if "OAuth2' for SMTP server outgoing.

  When your problem has been fixed can you mark the thread as "solved" Please?
  Thank you.

• Basics of microsoft, as installed on vista, still works after that I have switch to firefox?

  I am moving from Vista to Firefox and want to know if Microsoft Essentials will continue to run after I made the change. MSE has preformed well for many years and I would like to avoid having to change to another anti-virus program.

  Actually, you will still have Windows Vista, even if you use Firefox rather than the browser Internet Explorer (IE) that comes with Windows.

  Another browser of your choice requires no modification of your security software. Also, it does not replace your security software. Unlike some programs that require special configuration steps, Firefox and Microsoft Essentials should get along very well.

• Every time I have download and install updates to vista security I have reinstall mozilla firefox, why?

  Whenever I have download and install the vista security updates I lose Mozilla Firefox. The program and the icon still exist but do not respond. By clicking on the icon or clicking on the program files does produce absolutely no response.
  So any time I install updates, I have to run internet explore and firefox redownload. Most annoying. Help.
  P.S. Yes, firefox is my default browser.

  Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
  trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
  update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
  Firefox to connect to the Internet

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
  • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

  Configure the firewall so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

  Microsoft has said that it cannot obtain free Windows 10 update, if you have Windows 7/8.1, but you should be able to get on Windows Vista, I think...

  When I open the installer of Windows 10, or media creation tool, that's what's happening:

  10 Windows Installer:
