• How can I get past the windows xp activation screen to install Win 7

  I bought an IBM desktop computer that has XP Pro but it came without a product key.  I bought Windows 7 install as an operating system, but I can't seem to start or anywhere else.  He asked an activation Yes or no.  I need a way to let me use my CD Win 7 to do a clean install.  I tried to change bios to boot with the CD but to no avail.  I can't get into safe mode.  Any help?

• window appears on the extended screen, but the screen isn't there anymore so can't get to the window (2nd screen on laptop is only when it is connected to the desktop)

  Hi... interesting problem. I use my laptop computer on a desk with a second screen and moving.

  The last time I was using my laptop on the desk, I brought an application (Quicken) on the second screen and now when I start it up it displays on-screen extended even if I use the standalone laptop. I can't demand because it appears in the second screen and I can't get it back to the main screen. I even rebooted and it seems to 'remember' where is was the last time.

  Any thoughts on how to get it back (I know I can reconnect the second screen and move it back, but what about the time when I'm not near my office and want to access an application that was last used on the extended screen.)

  Argh...

  Thanks for your thoughts, I assume that there is a simple key sequence to make it visible on the main screen once I can't find it anywhere.

  Kind regards

  Very late reply, I have the same problem and I solve it hovering over the window you want in the taskbar when the preview window displays a right-click on it.  Select optimize.  The window will appear on your screen.  No, you can enter the window and its size down, it stays on the current view

• I can not using F8 safe mode, so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program

  original title: administrator, f8 safe mode access

  My computer problem begins with not being about to uninstall a program. I need administrator permissions. I am the administrator with a password. I'm not invited to give a. Nothng happens when I press a button with a shield on it. I received another message that tells me "unable to open the access control editor: the system cannot find the specified file. I found the instructions online to restart the computer (by pressing the F8 key) in safe mode. Once in safe mode I can essentially take possession of the C drive and reset admin ACCT. in SUMMARY, I can't have with using F8 safe mode (I tried once bagillion) so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program. Can anyone help?

  I don't know anything about "reset admin account" but here are two things that may help the case to start in safe mode.  First, enter the mode safe mode with f8 key is a matter of time.  On my computer (Dell) during the boot process, I'm going to get a screen send me options of start of f2 and f12, which is to enter the BIOS.  I can start hitting key f8 then but you will in safe mode unless I'm hit immediately after that the screen with f2 & f12 choices goes.  I just hit several times for a few moments at this time.

  If this does not work for you, here's another possibility: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/force-windows-to-boot-into-safe-mode-without-using-the-f8-key/

• How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

  How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

  So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

  OR

  do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

  In this case (start base fast and simple):

  • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
  • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
  • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
  • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

  But its still W7 in disguise.

  Is that the sort of thing you mean?

  If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

  How can I get the opening for an enlarged screen screen

  If you are talking about an Internet Explorer page, three options.
   
  
  1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.
    
   
  2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  Laptop Toshiba with Windows 7 and partition with Ubuntu.  Problem started when Windows suddenly stopped with the error message saying: "Windows has a problem and will shut down in 60 seconds...". "PSI was causes by a Rootkit virus then ran several strippers different Rootkit and AVG Rescue Disk and can't find anything.  Also several virus scans, malware analysis mode safe mode and ran Check Disk but nothing found. Also tried the system restore, but it does not solve the problem.

  Windows starts up normally however cannot get online with IE, Firefox or Thunderbird either wired or wireless.  WiFi icons are in the systray and directed the program of solving problems, but he can't find anything... says he works normally.  Ubuntu works very well and is online so it's something in the windows which is corrupt.   Checked the router settings and they agree.  Any ideas what could be the problem?

  Thank you

  . . . The ISP said it was causes by a Rootkit virus...

  I wouldn't believe everything that your ISP tells you in particular in this case given that you probably contacted due to Internet connectivity problems.

  -You never know, so please follow the advice given by Niranjan Manjhi

  I'm curious to know if you are able to access the Internet while SafeMode w / networking.

  Please try - press the F8 key repeatedly during boot. Select "SafeMode w / network.

• Re: Can I get original MS Windows XP CD for NB100?

  (1) do you know if Toshiba provides, on request, the original disk for Toshiba NB100 netbook to install Windows XP home?

  (2) I have the restore disk provided with the NB100 - but I think it's a * picture * of installation on the hard disk and not a real Windows XP Home install original disc standard. Is this true? I prefer the original disc so that I can control what is installed.

  (3) are downloadable Windows XP Home NB100 hardware drivers from the toshiba Web site?

  > 1) do you know if Toshiba provides, on request, the origin of Windows XP home install disk for Toshiba NB100 netbook?
  No, you will not get a disk of Windows XP from Toshiba. You can only get a recovery disc that contains the image mentioned.

  (> 2) I have the restore disk provided with the NB100 - but I think that it is an image of the installation on the hard disk and not a real Windows XP Home install original disc standard. Is this true? I prefer the original disc so that I can control what is installed.
  It's true. The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package that contains the Windows XP OS, drivers Toshiba, tools and additional software.

  >) are the Windows XP Home NB100 downloadable hardware drivers from the toshiba Web site?
  Of course, you can download the drivers from Toshiba.
