• I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building?

  I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.

  Hello

  OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.

  An OEM license is not transferable.

  And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.

  There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...

  You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.

  See you soon.

  I guess you're running Vista.

  As for your 2nd question about the updates of Windows - Win 7 If you run Norton, you might have a problem. It can accept updates for Vista, but when you upgrade to Windows 7 it does not updates allow.

• My E drive stopped reading CD/DVD. I have a desktop compaq with Vista Home Premium w / all service packs downloaded. My E drive doesn't recognize any disc in the drive.

  How can I get my E drive working again?  I inadvertently stopped a backup file and ejected from the disc without it completed stopped.  Now, he does not recognize the disc.  Please help me.  Computer: Compaq (Desktop), Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Packs 1 and 2.

  Hello

  Check with the support of Compaq, their online documentation and drivers and their forums for
  known issues.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• I want to uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and go back to Vista.

  This device comes preinstalled with Vista so that I only have the recovery disks that I made when I first set up the computer.  How can I uninstall the upgrade of windows 7 and reinstall Vista?

  BogeyB,

  If you have made a real upgrade (overlay on Vista), you might be surprised.  Click on the computer and open the D Recovery drive.  Open the folder named Recovery. Look at the bottom left corner.

  What is the date of creation?  Mine is from 2007.  I do not superimpose WIN 7 until 2011, but the recovery is still 2007.

  It's actually your full version of Vista recovery... it didn't get deleted or altered, except if you did.

• I have a desktop computer and a laptop. When I change a bookmark on one, it does not change on the other, even if I am connected to sync

  I have a desktop computer and a laptop.
  When I change a bookmark on one, it does not change the other even though I am connected to the sync.

  Sync is meant to do?

  Most probably one of the two computers has corrupted data which does not allow the sync complete.

  Refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox as his default factory while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

  Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

  Refresh for Firefox:

  1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:
     • Click the menu button

       

       click Help

       

       and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

     • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
  2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
  3. Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
  4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

  This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

  Thank you.

• I have a desktop PC with windows XP (Professional) on this subject, but I can't access to the pc through the remote desktop tool.

  Remote Desktop does not work

  Hello

  I have a desktop PC with windows XP (Professional) on this subject, but I can't access to the pc through the remote desktop tool. I already checked several options, but nothing seems to work. I don't even get an error message, the window just those which blinks and nothing happens...

  Could you please help?

  This is wat I already checked:

  -"allow users to connect remotely...". ' is running

  -TCP/IP listening on port 3389

  -Terminal services are started

  -J' tried connecting to Windows 7 and Windows XP, nothing works

  -Ping the ip address of the client PC works fine

  If you have any other ideas, I would be very gratefull!

  Thanks to advandce

  You will probably need to open port 3389 on your router so that it maps on the computer that is tuned to the connections of the DRC. It seems that you did all the other steps, but your router can prevent the connection to go anywhere. Here's a detailed guide to configure your router for DRC that can provide some guidance.

• How can I get Microsoft Train Simulator to work on my computer with Vista?

  Hello
  I installed Train Simulator on my computer with Vista about two years ago and I was never able to make it work. The game installed on my computer, but whenever I click on it to play it will work out fine until it gets to the main menu of the game page, then it will just completely freeze and stop working. I've tried everything to run I tried to run in Computability with Windows XP mode and it will still do the same thing, I even tried to uninstall and reinstall the game and who does not either because it will freeze just when the window displaying the initialization of the installation or uninstall initialization program opens and it's the end of this. If its basically as I installed it on my computer but I can't do anything with it I can't play, I can't try to fix it and I can't even uninstall it. So is my question possible that maybe I can get Train Simulator to work properly on my computer?
  Thank you!

  If it freezes completely like that, it may be a hardware conflict any.  I heard similar things regarding the sound card drivers.  I would check to make sure that you have the latest audio drivers on your computer and also make sure your graphics drivers.  Usually your machine must not only freeze whatever the program itself, unless you have a driver problem.

  Notes I've read, people get the game to work by mode of compatibility you tried (even if some have used Windows 95 and not XP compatible) and at the launch of the game, they choose "Run as Administrator" by clicking on the launcher and choosing it.

  Try and see if you have a little better chance

• How to remove fasteners of the persistent disks that do not have a desktop computer?

  Hello community,

  We have a small problem in our society. We use VMware View 4.5 and really like it. Our office is based on Win7 and everything works really well. But for some Ford, we managed to create persistent discs attached... without a desktop computer?

  As you can see on the capture screen, desktop computers are used with persistent records. Five of them are assigned to a user, but do not have a desktop computer. Users can work, because they have a new drive persistens, created automatically. But the 'old' are now and can not be spare, cause her are not attached! But without disassembly, we cannot delete it. Just posted discs can be deleted... it's a doom loop

  So maybe someone has already had the same error? I mean... the files do not exist on our storage and users can work, there is no problem with this, but it seems that the database of the vmware view do not know, that the files have disappeared... is there a way to delete the entries in the database for this five-disc?

  We have tried to export (with the tool on the server) and re-imported, but it doesn't work, cause, you are not able to remove things when importing data backups... What can do us?
