I changed my computer from XP to vista. How can I get the activation key when Laura by windows vista?
activation key for windows vista
How you installed Vista as an upgrade on XP or to perform a new installation? Did you use the installation of a media installation upgrading or complete dvd or did you by TechNet or MSDN subscription paying there?
With or without a dvd, you must enter the product key that was included with the media or have bought and downloaded via the store Ms. The product key is usually on the plastic case, the dvd of Vista arrives or accompanies electronic download and is that you enter during the installation/update level or when you use the control panel > system > change the product key to see active Windows.
You'll need a product key valid for the edition in question that you are now going to run.

My question is how can I get my product key when it is nowhere on my computer and my computer has been completely cleaned.

Hello
That's what you're looking for if XP came preinstalled:
The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.
With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
If it is lost and you have wiped the hard drive, your only option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer.
See you soon.

I have a macmini is ok for El Capitan, but during the upgrade, the hard drive crashed and I needed to format it to get rid of the bad blocks. I tried to reinstall it on internet, but it times out and fails. I have Internet access (100 Mbit/s) which works ok and I checked the macmini to have access to the internet, when I try to reinstall Mac OS x. So I have an option that I know he left: creating a bootable USB and install from that.
My problem is that I don't have another mac for this, only a PC running windows 8.1.
Anyone know how I can get hold of the dmg of El Capitan (or an earlier version of Mac OS x) to be downloaded and put on the USB key?

Mr President
I have windows 7, after creation of the solid color red & gray icon PDF files, but now the icon has changed to adobe acrobat 7 Professional logo, how do I re obtain the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to identify, also I used acrobat adobe 7 Professional but this problem was not there.
Hi manojp35249311,
Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.
Please attach a screenshot so that we can diagnose the problem correctly.
Kind regards

I went from BT to sky, how can I get the Airport extreme to rework?
We had BT broadband to Sky Broadband but I have problems to make the Apple Extreme, etc. to connect or around the House.
You must deliver to the factory and redo the installation. Apple routers will always remember a lot of their previous configurations.
But no matter which type of installation you have... have you changed routers and broadband type as well.
If you have changed of BT router to router from Sky... in both cases, the TC must be in bridge... so another requiring power down and back up again, it should work... Wireless Setup might however need a bit of work.

How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work
How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work
Hello Drjoe378,
I understand that you do not see the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your Mac. If you have verified that your firewall is disabled or that the problem occurs regardless of the status of your firewall, there is a little more that can help return your ability to connect to AirPlay devices.
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software.
- Connect your computer and other devices on the same network Wi - Fi. If you are using Ethernet, connect the two devices on the same router or hub. If you use the Wi - Fi and Ethernet, plug your device AirPlay the same router that your computer uses for Wi - Fi.
- Restart your computer, device AirPlay and network router.
- Because some Airplay devices include a power switch for AirPlay option, look for the option in the settings and make sure that the feature is enabled. Refer to the user guide of the device for more information.
All my best.
