If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

I have copy of CS5 on the old laptop and really need to do on my newer computer operating system windows, but the purchased disk was originally lost. Help please I have improved my cameras and they are not supported in CS3 and I don't want to bother with the DNG Converter. Looking at the details of loading originally in 2010 I have only 20 digits of the serial number that I need to finish loading on the new computer from 24.
I hope someone can help please
If your software is still running on your old machine, you can try to save it now. See if there is an Option in the Help menu. If it works, you don't need to know your serial number to get the software registered, but your number will subsequently indicate in your adobe account.

I have a HP with Vista computer. Whenever the computer is used recently it suddenly stops
with a message - a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The message is only on screen for a few seconds until its impossible to read the whole thing but here is something about new device drivers. I have not installed anything new, and the computer is about 5 years old. I ran to many viruses, malware, etc. analysis using Bitdefender and it did not find anything. Once the blue screen appears explaining why it stop, he then tells me that Windows is trying to find a solution to the problem, and I can choose to restart the computer. The computer restarts in normal mode and it works very well for a few hours and then stops again. Any suggestions on how to prevent this?
Thanks for your response! I disabled automatic restart in case of system error and was able to read the entire message. The error message that is mentioned in memory so when I restart ran diagnostics (F9) and I got a memory - BIOME-1 error. I researched online and removed and reinstalled the memory chips. My computer works great now!

Unfortunately - you have to get with Epson. Their material, their driver (even if it's supposed to be included with Windows 7)... their support.

So, I recently formatted my laptop just because I had to change my hard drive. I installed BACK Windows 7 Home Premium and downloaded all the drivers on the HP website. Some of them have been installed correctly, but some, like the webcam, dvd software were not. For now, my remote does not work correctly and some features like when I raise the volume I can't see the bar on the screen. When I try to install them, they extract the files and then stops. Please I hope you undeerstand and help.
Italo.
Install 7zip and restart, you will need to extract the Media Smart software to do a manual install.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Record Media Smart DVD on the desktop and right click to use 7zip to extract the files. Click this folder and open src.
In the src folder find the Setup program, a sixth from the bottom to install Media Smart DVD.
Do the same for your Menu of Smart Smart Media and reboot, you should get volume OSD to work. In some cases, you need 3 Media Smart Applications to work with the Menu for the volume OSD.
Do the same for your webcam as well.
ENE CIR driver is for your remote control, use the method above to install it manually.
Run this utility from Intel to find the most recent version of the Chipset driver. Do this first before all of the above.
