  Hi Louie.

  HP Photo Creations is a program for creative photo printing. You can use it to do ranging from simple printing of calendars, greeting cards and scrapbook pages at home. You can also use it to design and order gifts such as mugs, posters and photos related to ship books. Here is an example to spread a photo book.

  If none of these is interesting, you can safely remove.

• I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND THE SIMS 2 ON MY COMPUTER BUT I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SIMS 3 BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! (CAN YOU BE RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

  I INSTALLED THE SIMS 2 DELUX, SIMS 3 PETS AND SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE. I GOT SIMS 3 PUT HIM IN THE HARDRIVE HE RAN, BUT THE MESSAGE GAME NEVER TO SAY IF I WANT TO RUN IT HELP! PLEASE

  P.S. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA

  THANKS X

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  Well first thing to note - if you have Windows Vista, it is a forum for Windows 7, then you might have more luck in the Vista forum.  But second, you noted that you have installed the SIMS 2 Deluxe and the Sims 2 Apartment life and the SIMS 3 pets.  There are no SIMS 3 pets yet (only SIMS 2 Pets).  So who could have thrown people.

  So now REALLY tell you putting a SIMS 3 disc in?  If so, you must install the program first and sometimes automatic execution does.  You can, however, open a Windows Explorer (press the Windows key, key with the Windows Logo on it, down and self-tapping letter E - keep the E or you'll have a whole bunch of windows to the top).

  Then go to your CD/DVD drive and double-click it.  It can start the car then run.  If not, then you can right click on the drive icon and select EXPLORER and then find the file named SETUP.  If you don't see what he, or see the files, then make sure you have a valid PC version of the game and do not have a MAC version (my kids have committed this error several times while getting the library software).

  See if none of this helps and then after return. Bob Larson Access MVP

  If the operating system is running - use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key. www.Belarc.com

  If the OS is always installed, but inaccessible, you can still be able to recover, depending on what is causing the problem - come back with details.

  If you have reformatted, about maybe possible get the key - but unlikely.

  If the HD is dead, or you have crushed the old installation, then you are out of luck.

  I have windows vista I'll be able to upgrade to windows 10?  If so, how?  I go to the website to get the free download, but it brings back me to the page 'help '.

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

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

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  Follow these steps before buy you and upgrade (new installation) of Windows 8.1.

  Microsoft sells more than 8/8.1.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

  There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

  I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards.  How can I fix it?

  Hello FrankHeinsohn,

  Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.

  Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.

• I get a pop up asking that I want to install Windows 8. I have Windows Vista and have no idea of what is Windows 8. Do I have to install it or not?

  I have Windows Vista, but I get a pop up asking me to install Windows 8.  I'm not a computer Wizard, LOL.  I use my computer for basic, surf, talk to friends and to the these.  Do I have to install it or not?

  Hello

  There is no such thing as Windows 8. Maybe it's spyware so leave well alone. First of all I suggest you do a complete virus check of your system. I assume that your system has antivirus software to protect your system?

  Download the free version of Malwarebytes Anti Malware (www.malwarebytes.org ) install this application and do a full scan to see if it picks up nothing.

  ===============================================
  You can resize a picture in WLPG but if you want to change the .dpi you
  need a different application.

  Information about resizing...
  Right-click on one or more selected inches... Choose... "Resize" in the menu.
  Choose a format, access a folder to save in the left click the ' resize and
  Save "button. (I suggest that you save the photos resized in a new folder
  to prevent the replacement (replacement) the originals)

  In addition, the free software IrfanView can change dpi. Simply open a photo in IrfanView
  and go... Image / information. Enter the resolution you want in the resolution
