How to make a laptop computer with Windows Me to Windows XP or Windows Vista
Hey Heather420
XP and vista are no longer sold by microsoft
they moved on windows 7
as you use ME I doubt that your hardware is compatible with vista or windows 7
you'd have to ask questions in the forums xp on xp
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/XPInstall/threads?filter=AllTypes
and to buy xp or vista, you need to try amazon.com or ebay or your computer local store to see if they have all the old copies left
read the other operating system hardware configuration in the links below

You did not say what service pack you have installed, but I guess not SP3. Try to upgrade to SP3 and then try again.
If you have Service Pack 1 has already been installed on your computer, you can go ahead and install Service pack 3
Otherwise, you must download and install Service Pack 2.
And later, you must install Service pack 3.
Service pack 1 and service pack 2 Service pack 1 has joined in.
Here are the links where you can download and install Windows XP SP.
Service Pack 2: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28
Service Pack 3: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

My lap top has vista home and I tried to install Win 98 on a drive. I get messages saying that it can not be installed. The installer on the disc advises to install using MS-DOS. However, the file of course dosen't address install on a computer with vista home. I am not able in the BACK. I'd like some simple instructions to install it if it is possible.
You need to do using a Virtual Machine (Finally, there are other ways, but this is the simplest and the best option). http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdvancedUsers/VirtualPC/tabid/394/Default.aspx.
Once the virtual machine is configured, see the follwng on how to install Windows 98 on it:http://www.vistax64.com/virtual-pc/174999-re-installing-windows-98-a.html.
I hope this helps. Keep me in the loop.
Good luck!

It should not affect your license at all.
You must disable the copy of the Creative Suite 6 your existing computer.
Use your desk or your installer even to install on your new computer, or download the installer here:

HARD drive failure, I would like to know how to get Windows 7 return on it.
Hello everyone, I had a HARD drive problem lately, but before moving on to describe my problem, here are the specifications of my laptop:
HP Pavilion dv6 - 3264-ca
AMD Dual-Core 2.2 Ghz processor
6 GB OF RAM
128 MB ATI graphics card
750 GB Toshiba HDD
Windows 7 64 bit
The question:
Recently, I had a HARD drive failure very unhappy. The recovery partition is not even load. I tried to boot my laptop with Linux with the HARD drive always attached, and it would not read. I pulled the HARD drive and placed in a box drive HARD and he would not yet be supported on Windows XP or Vista or 7. However, it would read in Windows Device Manager as well as in the BIOS.
I need to extract some data priority there so I managed to recover all my data safe with a data recovery service, but now the drive is rendered useless. I was told a low-level format might be able to help him to be usable again, and if that were to happen, would then disappear the recovery partition in the process.
In addition, I would like to install Windows 7 64 bit on the disk, but the box your laptop came with an installation CD, which is quite frustrating. Is he that sort of HP can let me download Windows 7 through any warranty service?
I have a one year warranty on my laptop.
In closing, I would like to know if I can get back Windows 7 on my HARD drive for free, or if I have to go to buy new Windows 7.
All the tips of your kind people?
Hello
Here are two options.
1. if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit it is the version of exact details you need.
If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key is located on the underside of your laptop when asked and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM Windows installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Additional drivers, you may need can be found here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - these costs about $30 if you live in the United States.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334
If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the United States, contact HP here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

original title: Wireless on the Fritz
I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in). However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network). I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router." That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled. This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »
The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network. Maybe who has messed up my settings? That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.» However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.
I don't really know what the problem is. Any ideas as to what I can do? I don't want to reset my computer everything.
Thank you!
Hello
You can view these methods:
Method 1:
I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.
After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.Method 2:I suggest also allows you to check in SafeMode with network.Method 3:I also suggest you to check the settings of the router firewall. -

install windows with the product key
someone I gifted an old laptop with a lot of things about what I don't want and stuff I want is missing. I would like to know how to re - install windows on the laptop with the product key on the back of my laptop.
or, even better, if someone could find me a way to get a disk to restore to factory without purchasing information, which would be awsome.
I thank you for your time and have a good day.
If the laptop is one of the well known brands, he may well have a restore partition. If you do not have a manual to the user of this computer, then go to the manufacturers website and look for the documentation. At the very least, you should be able to find information about how to restore the laptop from the recovery partition.
If the restore partition has been decimated, the manufacturer may still have available for a nominal cost of installation diskettes.
