  • How can I reinstall an anytime upgrade home premium to ultimate. I had to throw my computer and cannot find a way to recharge the upgrade.

    I have a key to upgrade.

    The first thing you need to do is to get your Windows 7 Ultimate Anytime Upgrade key:

    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.

    What happens if I lose my product key?

    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

    The next thing you need to do is to reinstall the base license that you upgraded, Windows 7 Starter Edition or Home Premium.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems

    -HP use F9 on most of its systems

    -Fujitsu uses F12 on most of its systems

    -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

    -Dell uses F12

    In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    All you need to do is to install a good DVD burning program. I like ImgBurn because it has the ability to not only burn files to CD or DVD, but also the ability to CREATE a CD that can be played in a CD player real or a movie that can play on a real DVD player. AND you also get the ability to create bootable rescue disks!

  • I have a HP Desktop running windows7 and cannot find a way to adjust the brightness of the screen. Help, please

    The monitor is a HP backlit. I can use the buttons on the monitor to display its menu at the bottom of my screen, but have not found a way to combat it. The cursor will not appear on the top of the menu display. I may need to use a combination of keys, but just don't know.

    There should be a button on your monitor, you can push to adjust the brightness, contrast, height, width, and other things too.  Since it is different from one monitor to the other, you will have to consider to make it in the documentation on the monitor, the monitor, or on the web site of the manufacturer of the monitor.

    Good luck.

    drivers LabVIEW for agilent e4432b, cannot find the way to control multitone? How to deal

    Hello Brownheart,

    Drivers for the instruments aren't supposed to cover all applications use of instruments, only for the most common uses. No matter if multitone is a common use for this instrument, a brief review of the functions available in the driver does not have this feature.

    What you have to do is to create your own config VI using the information of the use of the programming unit. Is not ideal, but at least the driver NOR provided gives you a starting point for adding this feature.
