• I am buying a new computer without an operating system installed and you want to know if my Windows 7 Upgrade disk can be used to install Windows 7?

  I'll buy a kit of barebones without preinstalled operating system and was wondering if I could use my Windows 7 upgrade disk to install Windows on the new PC.

  Short answer 'NO '.

  Upgrade means upgrade. An upgrade can only be used to upgrade a previous version of XP or Vista. You will need to purchase a full retail or OEM version to install on a computer without an operating system.

• I bought a used computer and do not know the password to unlock

  I bought a used computer. I don't know the password. The password can be removed and mine used to unlock? The former owner is not available.

  Best to make a/Clean Custom installation of XP. Never can tell what the unwanted (like viruses) may exist.

  (1) Note the make and model of your computer.

  (2) check that the 25-character product key is always fixed to the case or at the bottom of your laptop.

  3) go to the support of the manufacture web site and know what "F" key, you will need to press on when the computer starts, run a reinstallation of XP (or use the recovery media if you have a).

  (4) reinstall XP and create a new user account. Note: If you use the support CD of 'Recover' you will need to re-enter the product key to activate Windows.

  I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.

  Some time previously, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.

  After you install Acrobat 9 special and differential treatment in the computer once, I wanted to update the update of the version 9.0.0 software to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.

  The update to version 9.0.0 system does not at all. 'There is no update' listed in the dialog box.

  Can you advise how to get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level it had before the accident.

• You just bought a used computer and he hacked into software on it. What should I do?

  original title: buy old pc

  I am just buying a second-hand computer... I didn't know it is installed with pirated software... what should I do... buy a software or buy a hard drive with the software... I can spend it...

  Your computer has a COA sticker on it, with the version and edition of Windows?

  the product key is readable? (DON'T post it!)

  If so, see if you can borrow a disk of that kind of a person - it will take him to be a disc of MS OEM System Builder, NOT an OEM recovery disk (unless it's for the exact make and model of your machine)

  You can not buy hard drives with preinstalled software.

  Legal XP packs for sale are now very rare - and most copies sold on sites like eBay or Criagslist are counterfeits, then attention who you buy if you go down this road!

  Your best option if you can't find a disc OEM System Builder (or is unable to read the key from the COA) is to contact the manufacturer and see if they have a set of recovery disks available (or take a look at restoredisks.com) that will restore computer provided the factory software.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I wish I had some good news for you, but I did not...

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page. This means that the stock HP is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.
  
  Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  Good luck

• After that I opened my home page when I try to go to another page it opens twice. I use the last FF on an older windows xp operating system.

  my computer is running slow and after that I click on the search button to go to another site, it opens twice and takes a long time for one of the two pages to load. After that I actually enter a site when I click on a tab it charges once and it seems a little slow, however. I use the latest version of Firefox on a pc with windows xp as the operating system. Also, I installed IE, but I didn't do it in my default browser. I also use AVG security software if it has something to do with the fix. Any help is GREATLY appreciated

  Can you try a different mouse in case there is a problem with the mouse you are currently using?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance

  FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD

  Greetings to one and all and I thank very you much for your help to help me.

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows Vista Home Basic AMD Mobile Sempron processor. Recently, I tried to upgrade the free version of my Antivir Avira antivirus for a trial version, but during the process, I lost my internet connection. Sometimes, my network shows another "Local and Internet" and "Local" only. However, in both cases I am not able to connect to the Internet. Whenever I try to open a page in the browser, it is blank and nothing appears on the screen... I also try to reinstall the operating system, but since I can't access the Internet when I reached the point of the process called "GET IMPORTANT updates to UPDATE for the INSTALLATION" where I have to choose between two options a) go online to get the latest updates (recommended) and b) do not get the latest updates for facilities , I can only opt for the other that says that the installation may fail. Therefore, it seems that I cannot even reinstall the operating system. In addition, I often small windows to appear on my screen as "msnmsgr.exe" "skype.exe" "OSA.exe" file corrupted with such messages "the file C:\Users\ myname\AppData\Local\Temp directory is corrupted and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility ". However, the problem is I can't run the check disk, because every time I have it try I got the following message "checking file system on C, the type of files is NTFS one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue"until I read the whole message again appears" the disk check was cancelled ". I am not able to get the help and Support Windows open, but on the window I only heard the message "you have lost your connection using Windows and support". I don't know what to get my computer works well and my connection internet back. Someone here tell me step by step what to do to solve all the problems mentioned above? I am very grateful to each of you. Please, note that from my computer I have not access to Internet, so tell me any solution which will take me to use my computer to connect to the Internet. Sorry for the length of my post.

  PS at the beginning of this problem I used to have errors with their code on the screen of my laptop, but unfortunately I did not take account of their > more, for to appear the problem worsens my computer was a bit slow

  SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD

  First of all, thanks a lot to you all and especially to the Lorien-SpiritX and their insightful answers. As they both suggest to me I tried sfc/scannow and I received the following message on my laptop screen "start the phase of checking system scan audit 44% complete Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation"

  I did also check CHKDSK/f/r utility Office and I received the following message "the type of the file system is NTFS cannot lock drive current CHKDSK cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts "and I answered Yes

  In addition, I tried to use my CD to reinstall my operating, but if it starts well by copying files to the end of the process, when the second stage of the process "expand our files" starts, it stops at 27% and never goes further.

  These are all questions, added to all that I already mentioned in my first post with the same title

  This looks like failing hardware, not software. I would look at the hard drive first, and then the RAM and the motherboard.

  If the computer is still under warranty, contact Dell technical support.

  On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

• I bought a dell inspiron 1440 without any operating system. What should I install first, the dell drivers or windows vista?

  I use the windows vista installation disc supplied with my previous pc. I tried to do a clean install, inserted the disc into the cd/dvd drive. No installation window. The screen says "windows loading files..." After a few hours, the display shows something like

  "" windows has not... error: file boot32.exe is corrupt or not found. "."

  Then the Dell XP disc is great to use. However, do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

  1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

  2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

  3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

  4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

  * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

  5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  6. other hardware components are faulty.

  Then you unfortunately discovered why the phone was for sale.
