  • I want my old Acrobat in return.  Trial version that expires and asking for the serial number.  What should do?

    OK guys, it's really terrible.  Not only I wish never to store documents in any cloud where I do not hold encryption keys, but all that DC does not work properly.  I had a completely released Acrobat desktop version which now no longer works.  I'm stuck with this DC thing and now it says my trial is up and I have to pay for a subscription, or don't have acrobat more.  It's not cool.  I tried all the stuff you have online on how to activate the software through my CC account, but he asks just a serial number, even if I connect correctly.

    How to bring back my old version of office?  Worked well!

    Hello

    It comes from a site to a user of public forums. Please visit the following link to ensure that you have properly enabled Acrobat as part of the CC:

  • Is there a way I can get even SP2 and SP3 for windows xp home edition to my pc that had been in storage since 2007?

    I tried to go to windows update but redirected to micrsoft support page, which offers no SP2 and SP3 for windows XP Pro, and yet I don't have a network of computers running windows XP Pro download the SPs would be a disater as it is intended for more than one PC.

    It does not give the notice to go to the windows update page, but I can't get there because I do not have windows XP SP 3 installed on my pc, and even if I have it on a disc I couldn't install it anyway because SP 2 is not installed on this pc.

    So this pc seems to be thrown into a sort of limbo XP, does anyone know a way I can get these much needed without breaking service packs?

    The download versions below can be installed on a single computer.

  • I'm looking for a manual form PDF for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.

    Hi Tech, representatives and mods,

    I'm looking for a file PDF instruction manual for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.

    I am trying to solve some problems on the PC of my mother for him and she not Vista operating instructions supplied with the installation of the plant on his Dell Inspiron 531.

    Also, because of irreparable corrupt software problems, Microsoft technicians have ordered me a Windows 7 installation disc that came in the mail, but there is no manual and I would like to know the procedures of installation and the new UI so I install it.

    Anyone know where I can download manuals of instructions PDF for Vista or Windows 7? ... can't find on the Microsoft Web site, but maybe I can't find them.

    Thanks for any help,

    NuMetro


    Hi Aziz,.

    I appreciate of course send you these links to the instructions for the installation of 7 and Vista... I will use them when trying to fix computer Vista my mother sick.

    But it turns out there are some out there in free download e-book/PDF manuals, and one for Windows 7 is quite comprehensive, edited by a guy named Rich Robinson on http://mintywhite.com/books/ ... See the response, copied below, I got "JacK MVP" when he replied to my post on the Windows 7 forum...

    Hello

    Look at this page, http://mintywhite.com/books/

    You need to register, but it's good and free courtesy of Microsoft MVP.

    _________________________________________________________________

    It's a little complicated to register on this site... I click on a link to a book, then on the page following, I get my email address, then I get an email confirming my registration, by which I can get an e-mail newsletter every day with a new password to download e-books. If the newsletter has already been sent to this day there, I click a 2nd link in this email in order to receive another email with the password... then by clicking a link in the 2nd e-mail, I get to the page where I did enter the password... so I can download e-books... as easy as 1-2-3... 4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11...

    TIP: the password appears to be the same thing every day, or was yesterday and today it's 'mintywhiteBooks '... How sneaky.

    For a minute there, I thought that this site was a kind of lure because on the page "to subscribe/instructions", where I get my e-mail, there are 2 jpeg images that resemble password fields and links, but they are not... I'm not sure of what those who are for.
    This mintywhite.com seems to be quite the site for amateurs and Windows technicians.
    Thank you

    If you have Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium, they do not come with Fax software included.

    Snappy Fax 2000 allows you to send and receive faxes from your computer.

In addition, the program also supports faxes sending via the internet, filtering of unwanted faxes and transfer incoming faxes to other fax or e-mail addresses. Additional features include import address book, faxes by email (with zip for images support), OCR, spell checking and much more.

    I'll have to trun my computer on and off for window at startup and then it stops a lot

    Hello

    Is there an error message? If so, what would you say? If this isn't the case, then you probably have a stop initiated by the hardware to prevent overheating damage to the system. If this is the case, can help clear the vents and intake fans / exhaust so that clean the dust bunnies (desktop systems). Also make sure that the CPU cooler is not clogged and that all fans are working properly. With laptops, a cooling pad can help.

    I tried and tried to locate the utility Win 7 embedded 'Fax and Scan for Windows' using the links given to me by your Anshul Arora a few days ago... and still does not activate/download... whatever, this utility application.

    For example:

    1. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/products/features/windows-fax-and-scan does not help.

    2 ""scan a doc or a picture with Win Fax and Scan " page says " click on the Start button, click on "all programs, then click on Windows and digitization." "" I don't see an "Windows Fax and Scan" when I do that.

    3. I haven't installed scanning programs and had Win 7 look for a Setup program; can't.

    Offhand, I would say that my version of Win 7 doesn't have this built-in utility!
