  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Let's first try the easy solution.  Click Start, type compatibility in the research field, and click the enter key. This will bring up the resolution of the problems of compatibility of programs.  Click Next and it make a quick check on your machine.  It will ask you to Select the program that you are having problems with, and then click Next.  Click troubleshoot program, then check the box for the program worked in earlier viersions of Windows...  Click Windows 2000 and click on Next. Click on the box for start the program. He will try to open the program as if you were using XP. Once the program is trying to open, click on Next. Now it will ask if it worked for you.  If so, click on Yes, save these settings for this program. If you clicked Yes, every time that you open the program now he opens as if it was running under XP.  That if it worked!

Sometimes this method does not work.  For these cases, there is a new feature called XP Mode, which will install a virtual machine before you run your program in.  It is not too hard to get set up. It actually installs a copy of Windows XP before you run your program in.   Here's a Microsoft article on how to get it set up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/.  XP mode now works even if you do not have the chip installed for hardware-assisted virtualization technology.

    There is no need to check the registry keys to see if you can install updates or not.

    You just need to be connected to an administrator account to install the Windows updates.

    You can check if you are in an administrator account by trying taks simple administrattor. For example. Try to change the time system.

    If you can change the time, you are an administrator; no other.

    Some experiments to try.

    (1) create a small project with just a few pictures and see if it will play.

    (2) use .bmp photos to create the project instead of .jpg photos.

    (3) remove all transitions and resave the project as .wmv and see it it helps.

    (4) If your music .mp3 file... try to use .wma or .wav. John Inzer - MS - MVP - digital media experience

  • I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

    How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

    An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

    If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

  • HP Envy 15: HPSA keep being invited to download the updates even when they have already been installed

    Hello

    I just run Windows Update 10 and everything went well.

    Then I had HP Support Assistant warned me that there are new updates for HP I did install, but now I get HPSA telling me that these updatesstill must be downloaded and installed again and again.

    Has anyone else had this and if so is there a fix for this problem.

    Kind regards

    Mike

    lms1953

    Personally, I don't trust HPSA on my PC Win10-implementation to date, so I removed it.

    My guess is that the upgrade has kept the old version of HPSA, and what MIGHT solve this problem is to delete that and replace it with a new version from here: HP Support Assistant | HP® Official Site

    If that is fixed, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: HP - HP Support Assistant (Windows, 10, 8) troubleshooting computers. HP® customer support

    Good luck

  • After the reboot, I get Windows Vista build 6002 this copy of windows is not genuine, but the system... activation seems to be

    After a restart/virus scan (after the large recent Windows Update Microsoft), I see on the background one right part of my screen:

    Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine.

    I looked at the system screen and it shows only: Windows is activated.

    I ran Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics tool, and it shows:
    Validation status: genuine
    Validation code: 0

    N/a for resolution state (probably because he thinks that the installation is correct).

    Don't know what the issue is here?  Does anyone know a fix for this?  I would rather have not shut down the system after 30 days of work!
    Thank you!

    According to the report that you have posted, you should not see a non-genuine problem - the report is clean.

    If you are indeed to see a non-genuine notification, then is that from time to time, or is this all the time?

    If it is present only from time to time, you have a race condition - and those can be a nightmare to solve, because they disappear as soon as you look at :) They are often caused by antivirus programs in conflict with other programs running

    If it is there all the time, then try the following.

    Vista license store is perhaps damaged or its data can be ruined somehow. Please try the steps below to re-create the store with the correct data.

    (1) open an Internet browser window.
    (2) type: %windir%\system32 in the browser's address bar.
    (3) find the CMD.exe file
    (4) make a right click on CMD.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
    (5) type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you're sure, select Yes)
    (6) type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
    (7) type: Rename tokens.bar tokens.dat
    (8) type: cd %windir%\system32
    (9) type: net start slsvc
    (10) type: cscript slmgr.vbs - FLIR (it may take time for this will be complete, please be patient)
    (11) restart your computer twice.
    (12) you may need to enter you product key and activate it.

  • I and issue with the version of 29.01, seems I have installed two, a Favorites appears, the other not. I can both uninstall and reinstall with bookmark?

    Somehow, it seems that I have two versions of 29.01installed. One is the American version and the other British version. One that has all my favorites and viewable history, but there is no visible address/firefox browser toolbar. The other version has none of the bookmarks, and using the profile search product not available, but this version has no visible address/firefox browser toolbar.
    Can I uninstall both versions and then download and reinstall a new version and at the same time find all my favorites and the browser history?

    Make sure that you do not delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox because that will remove all Firefox profile folders.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • I keep getting messages "Flash obsolete. Firefox Plugin Check says it is up-to-date with the version 11.2.202.418 but the current version is *. 425 cannot be installed.

    I use Ubuntu 14.

    These last days (say, a week) I get messages saying that the Flash is obsolete, and firefox blocks the plugin, so I have to unlock ('allow') every time that I get to a new page. It's no big deal, but it's boring and, for example, I can't watch movies on my page of favorite movie...
    In the firefox Plugin Check page, I get a message 'to day', but it shows the version 11.2.202.418, which is also the version of Ubuntu Software Center and current version is 11.2.202.425. I tried this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keep-flash-up-to-date-and-troubleshoot-problems#w_updating-flash for a manual installation instructions, but cannot get to the place where firefox is installed.

    I already moved chrome Firefox because of repeated malfuntioning of chrome, I have nowhere to go! (pity me).

    Thanks to you all! And sorry for the spelling mistakes / syntactic possibilities, English is not my first language.

    I think Unbuntu would have an update now that 11.2.202.425 has been out of Adobe since December 9 as 11.2.202.424 and is more vulnerable.

    Find the .mozilla folder at / and create a folder called plugins , so you can place the libflashplayer.so file here.

    Now, all installations of Firefox and SeaMonkey will be able to use it.
