• In Illustrator CC GPU acceleration still works after disabling "GPU Preview" and activation "Preview CPU" (on a workstation gpu)?

  I use a workstation graphics card which allows the GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.

  By selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of "CPU overview" under the "View" toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a rougher experience.

  Which brings me to wonder:

  1. In Illustrator CC GPU acceleration still works after disabling "GPU Preview" and activation "Preview CPU" (on a workstation gpu)?
  2. Acceleration for my gpu GPU actually improves the performance for my work?

  Nope. You must have sighted GPU in order to get the boost GPU.

  The Quadro K series is on the supported list, so it is strange that having the preview turned on GPU cause lag. It should be the opposite where the CPU preview is jerky.

• Where I could get a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate? in 2014, to the United Kingdom?

  Hello, I'm building a PC and I need in an operating system, I hate the Windwos 8 or 8.1 because it tries to be more than a Tablet, but I want to get a copy of legitiment disk copy Ultimate de Windows 7 (64 bit) within the United Kingdom and must be less than 200 pounds, I'll look at the main electronic in my area retailers , but most of them sells more, Windows 7 and I looked online, but I fear that they could be counterfeit version fo Windows 7 Ultimate, so I like some suggestion on where I could purchase this product and has TO BE LEGIT, UNDER 200 POUNDS, WINDOWS 7 ultimate (64 bit).

  Thank you!

  Windows 8.1 is ok in desktop mode, is much easier to buy and is more likely to be within your budget...

  If you don't like the default Start Menu or applications, use an alternative start menu...

  Free...

  In $ 5, but it's like Windows 7...

  http://www.stardock.com/products/Start8/

  Note that the alternatives don't convert STEP of Windows 8 for Windows 7. They give you just a more recognizable work environment.

  In order to avoid completely the front end of the subway, you must install Windows Live Essentials 2012 for client library and email or whatever your preferences. You will also need to install Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader (my preference) to support the reading of PDF files.

• Vista Ultimate SP1 Pro: repeated failures to install SP2 and several failures repeat to install some other upgrades second request for help)

  Hello

  I'm a professional software developer, and in the last five days I have tried in vain to upgrade my Vista Ultimate Pro (purchased in the United States two years ago) SP1 to SP2 and make that the machine is in use.

  I would like professional assistance with this question and the advice to do a "clean" installation and annihilate the four days of settings and configuration of programs and software development tools is not a satisfactory answer: I want to know why I can't do an "upgrade" install: why 'upgrade install' disabled when I launch setup.exe from the original DVD / install install Vista?

  1 SP2 will not install (from Windows Update or the downloaded standalone installer from MS) (see my previous post here):

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/d499b50d-8f67-460f-ACF3-df2ff12ecec7

  for details and for a response of S. Bodin who gave no useful tips).

  2 56! other updates appear repeatedly as needing to be installed, and then they re - install whenever I have closed the computer, and, when I re - starts, they appear as being initialized, or whatever, once again.

  3 IE8 is already installed, .NET FrameWork 3.5 + is already installed (as part of the VS 2010 beta install), but they appear in the queue of facility among the 56 other updates.

  I can honestly say I've lost a lot of time and money dealing with the problems of Vista: it's one of the reasons I have not used for more than a year: I had hoped at the time of SP2, it would be stable enough to use.

• Windows 7 will not activate after a clean install and several improvements to my computer.

  I bought a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I installed my old hardware running, but found Windows 7 either too many resources.  When there was enough money kicking around to upgrade my computer a few months later I did (new card mother cpu and ram).  Windows 7 would not start normally or in safe mode, my old installation of XP would not boot normally but would start in safe mode.  So I reinstalled Windows 7 with a clean install (reformatted my hard drive) and it works fine but now it won't turn on!  It says that I have to type in a different product key because I typed the product key cannot be used to activate Windows on my computer.

  I understand the need to fight against piracy, but the thought that I can't upgrade my computer without having to buy another product key is ridiculous!  There are solutions to this problem?

  Activate manually.  It is detect your previous installation and seeing this as an attempt to install the product on another computer.  It is a common phenomenon.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate the operating system.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  If this does not work (these procedures are for Vista, but I guess they will work with Windows7), and then republish your questiion in Windows7 Forums:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where they can provide the procedure for this OS if it is different.

• autologin Windows 7 without box "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"

  My dialog box user accounts does not the box "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and how do I turn it on?

  Hello Russ,

  You can continue with the following steps to support.  However, if your computer is on a domain, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.  You will need to contact the system/network administrator.  TechNet forums can be beneficial for a resolution on your http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/w7itproinquiry.  Please create a Restore Point and backup of the registry before proceeding.

  1. click on start, run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. look for the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  3. with the help of your account name and password, double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type your user name, and then click OK.
  4. double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password in the value data box, and then click OK.

  If there is no DefaultPassword value, create the value. To do this, follow these steps: a. in the registry editor, click on edit, click New, and then click String value.
  b. Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and press ENTER.
  c. double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in the value data box.
  If no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows XP automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon registry key by replacing 1 (true) to 0 (false) to turn off the AutoAdminLogon feature.
  5 double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the value data box, and then click OK.

  If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do this, follow these steps: a. in the registry editor, click on edit, click New, and then click String value.
  b. type AutoAdminLogon as the value name, and press ENTER.
  c. double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the value data box.
   
  6. exit the registry editor.
  7. click on start, click on restart and then click OK.

  I hope that this information is beneficial

• Question about activation of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hi all

  I've recently updated the OS on my computer laptop from Home Premium (Windows 7) supplied with the computer (I have activated the product) to ultimate (Windows 7) using an upgrade key.  Now when I turn on my computer it says 3 days until automatic activation or activate now.  I clicked activate now, but I apparently don't have the right key.  I tried the upgrade button, but I was told that it cannot be used to activate the operating system.  I also tried my original laptop computer product key but I was told that it will not now work with my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.  I don't know what I can do.  What will happen in 3 days?  Can someone tell me if I have anything to worry about and what I can do to solve?  Thanks in advance!

  -Looks

  Strange, strange.

  First of all, where did you get your Windows 7 Ultimate license?

  Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade came with a product key?

  What type of upgrade, you did do, was an Express upgrade or did you do a custom clean install?

  This is probably why you are experiencing the problem.

  Try to update the product key and then again by phone:

• Activator Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade without reloading XP on the system first?

  After the purchase of a brand new (without OS) computer I tried to load my software to genuine Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) upgrade I had bought for intended use on my old computer but never charge over there because it was "of the problems' (where the new pc).

  Well not that no responsible OS Windows 7 could be installed from the CD on the new pc and worked for 3 days in a satisfactory manner. Now, I get an activation error telling me that the 25 char key is not valid. I checked that the software is legitimate using windows audit but saw on the Faq that the problem may be that MS does not accept my key I did have my genuine XP loaded on the pc before I installed the 'upgrade' (how can you update a pc and run perfectly without the old version being loaded first (for example after a HD format) If you are then obliged to have an older version Windows on the machine to activate it first?)
  What I want to know is: if I have the legitimate windows of the keys (Win XP and Win 7 Ult) is there a way I can get windows 7 (currently load and operation) activated WITHOUT having to wipe everything on the HD, load win xp and then 'upgrade' to win 7 all over again?
  NB: the pack Win 7 did not state it's an upgrade only.

  You could try the activation of the phone and explain your situation, but they will probably tell you to first install a qualifying operating system.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
