We have installed Office 2010 on a system that died & want to move the software for my new system. How to reactivate my product key Code
Assuming that you had bought a copy of the sale at retail of Office 2010 (i.e., it not was not preinstalled by the manufacturer of the computer or downloaded and installed using a "product key card"), just install it on the new system and turn on normally. In some cases, you may use telephone activation and explain the circumstances (i.e., the old computer is dead).
Microsoft Office is not a step "off authorizes" as some other apps (Adobe comes to mind).

Windows RT will be a desktop computer? If so, what kind of applications will run?
I wonder about windows RT I heard several sources say different things. Windows RT has a traditional desktop computer? If so, here are the ways I think this could work. Can you tell me how it will work?
1. it has no offices.
2. He has a desktop computer, but only works office, IE10 and other services Ms.
3. it has an office which runs only applications that are configured for windows 8/RT. As there are, desktop applications, but not backward compatibility. It should be for RT.
I would really appreciate help on this. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Pichon,
If Windows Vista application unexpected activation

For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.
If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:
- Click Start, and then click computer.
- Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
- Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.
To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

- Click Start, click all programs, and then click Windows Update.

Windows XP instead of Vista.
I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.Hello
There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:
1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.
2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.
3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.
4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

Hello.
I have windows 7 home... I had accidentally put in the trash... photos and then cleaned out the trash... lost all the pictures... did a system restore and got back records, but not photos... ANY IDEAS on HOW I CAN get BACK MY PHOTOS > please... !!!
It was a possibly a big mistake to do the system restore. There jepoardised your chances of recovering anything because it may well have used disk space previously allocated to your photos.
Some people on this forum have reported success with Recuva
Do not recover files to the same drive that you are trying to recover files from. This is likely to have the same consequences as restoring your system. In fact, it is preferable to stop using the hard drive which has (hopefully) the files lost and place it in another PC before run Recuva on the other PC. Install Recuva on your hard drive can also cause files become unrecoverable.
Good luck, I think that you will need. If something like Recuva recover everything you want, the only recourse is a (very expensive) data recovery lab.

If Windows 7 is pre-installed on laptop, Mike instructions don't you will lose Windows 7. If you bought Windows 7 separately and allows you to format the computer, which also does not let you lose thel travel when you format the drive from your installation disc.

I have a folder in my email account and I want to join the entire folder to a new email
I have a folder in my email account and I want to join the entire folder to a new email
- You use Windows Mail?
- Are these messages in a user created folder?
- What is this file in bytes?
There are a few ways depending on what is your ultimate goal.
- Open a new message window and drag it to the side a little. Click a message in the folder and Ctrl + A will highlight all. Drag them into the message body of the new messages, and they will all be committed.
- Create the folder on the desktop. Select all message headers, and then drag them to the desktop folder. The ZIP file and attach it.
Size matters when it comes to sending.
