• I have Windows VISTA, but need Windows 2000 or XP

  I can not activate the fax or scan operations of my HP 4315 all-in-one with windows vista which is standard on this dell. What can I do to activate these features?

  Check out the HP Technical Support for your printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=1138342&sw_lang= &.  Download and install the latest driver for Vista and see if that helps (the fact that they have Vista drivers suggests that it is not a compatibility issue).  Also have utility downloads of diagnosis you can try that might help diagnose the problem (and maybe even fix).  If necessary, you can contact a technician using the:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/contacthp?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=1138342.  You can also try the HP Forums (there is one for your printer):http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/ct-p/InkJet.

  What version of Vista are you using?  You have the Fax Vista and the scan function activated (if available in your version)?  If so, try turning it off to see if that causes some kind of conflict with the HP software attempts to essentially do the same thing (or disable HP software and try to use the Vista software insttead if it is an option).

  The truth is, you need to obtain assistance from HP about this problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Have Vista but corrupted. Is it possible for me to install Windows 7 after I am reformatting my computer?

  I thought that the monitor of my pc got broke out but when I tried to turn it on, it showed me the splash screen.  I came to realize that the monitor was never dismantled.  However, my laptop used to run Windows Vista, but now it's like trying to run Windows XP and it won't move to the screen.  Is it possible for me to install Windows 7 to upgrade my laptop because the operating system has already been corrupted?

  I have vista ultimate 64 and I try to run HAWX in DX10. It is gray in the game. When I run DXDIAG it says that I'm running DX 11. How can this be? How to register for dx10?

  Gearrunner,
  I have Windows 7 32-bit last month.  I installed the demo of HAWX and he ran a program compatibility Wizard after installation.  He showed that DirectX 10 has been installed.  When I run DXDiag, I also show DirectX 11.  Now, I have installed DirectX 9 .0c on this machine.  Then you can try to install it and see if that makes a difference.

  DirectX 9 .0c

  Of course now that I've tried the demo you have shot me in another game I have to play.  :)

• Want to move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Original title: Vista 32-bit to 64-bit without disc.

  Hi all

  First post and not very technical minded (although not completely clueless) so go easy.

  In short, I want to upgrade 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

  Long story, I have a dell latitude e4300 with professional vista installed on it. I bought the laptop from a company who buys wipes of the company and sells them on. When I bought the laptop it is everything I had... the laptop, manuals, disks etc. I want to increase the memory on the laptop 6 GB but have read that I need 64 bit vista to take advantage of this.

  So, how can I do this with only the product code for windows? or is this even possible?

  Thank you very much

  John

  "Can I move a version 32-bit Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?

  N ° if you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version. »

  and,

  See why upgrade to Windows 7 makes sense

  However, and my dilemma who found your post, amounts to:

  1. If you head to 64-bit (a number somewhere North of 1.844 E19 one approach the number of electrons in a Coulomb for free!) AND you don't have a product key, why not make the leap to 8.1 Windows 64-bit? and,
  2. It should be first of ALL to ensure that your "32-bit" software will run in a 64 bit environment especially make sure that your printer has a compatible driver update.

  PS Your interest to think "upward" is necessary and laudable.  Your question is carefully constructed.  It has never been my experience to find the answers except kind, helpful and generous in the community Microsoft.  Similarly, it is called the 'social media' or 'public access' sites (YouTube, for example) where the landscape is littered with fecal printing.

• I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

  I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

• Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key

  Well, I m using window vista Home premium, but I don, t ve produst the other key to activity from my window

  * original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *

  Hi gulabsher,

  You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation.  The original supplied with the software should do just fine.  However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).

  If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software.  Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country
  and click Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

  The President complied,

  I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

  Hello ElumBuneri,

  As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

  See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

• Why do you have Vista 32 bit my native resolution of 1680 x 1050, but 64-bit Vista is not?

  I was already running 32 bit Vista Home Basic and I've now changed to 64-bit Home Premium and for some reason that I have more my 1680 x 1050 Native resolution monitors in the list of available resolutions.

  The closest available resolutions are 1600 x 900 and 1600 x 1024.

  Obviously it's not a lot of good because anything other than of the native looks horrible!

  I have the option in the NVidia Control Panel to create custom resolutions, which do not seem to work in windows is.  I added 1680 x 1050 and set it as my resolution.  Now the problem I have is that the games aren't my resolution custom in their choice of resolutions in the graphics options, so I can't play in 1680 x 1050 the closest choice is the resolutions that I mentioned earlier, which means that the quality of the image in the games is horrible!

  I do not understand why I now have a problem when 32-bit Vista everything was fine, it's the same graphics driver as before only the 64-bit version.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  No problem.

  However, this problem is solved now fortunately.  I did some research on Google more and came across this article about Windows 7 users with simillar problems with drivers of the generic Non - PNP monitor and lack of resolutions:

  http://www.TomsHardware.com/Forum/652-63-window-monitor-1680x1050-1920x1080-resolution-here

  The advice it worked a treat, I downloaded PowerStrip (http://downloads.guru3d.com/PowerStrip-3.75-download-169.html#download ),

  I uninstalled all drivers GPU rebooted my computer, and then use Powerstrip I created my own .inf driver using the correct resolution of 1680 x 1050 Max, registered the and that installed my driver of monitors.

  Reinstalled my drivers, GPU, rebooted and it instantly recognized my Native 1680 x 1050 and set it to one at the start.  And when I run all the games, the resolution is in the list!

  I am so happy.
