I have Windows XP Professional media and need to rebuild a machine with an OEM XP home license.
Is this possible?
To be able to install XP Home you nedd XP Home media and a XP Home key.
If your XP Home OEM license from another PC, it will NOT work on this one, that the key is blocked at the first motherboard on which it is enabled.

I have files dating back to 1994, that were created by using Microsoft Works. I was able to convert all the older spread sheet files on my old computer that was not recently. Microsoft XP was installed with Microsoft Office 2007, on my old computer. I saved the original files, but cannot open them on my new computer, which also contains Microsoft Office 2010.

Please, do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and considered to be shouting.

As you know that there are no Windows 7 drivers for this camera. Check with the support of Labec.

You can try loading the latest driver available in Compatibility Mode which sometimes
work however, it isn't anywhere near a sure thing.Exhausted all other methods in the Troubleshoot utility above before trying these.
Logon as ADMINISTRATOR for all of them.
You can try Compatibility Mode but this rarely works on the device drivers.
Right click on the driver executable (.exe) file - select Compatibility Mode
In the drop-down menu choose XP or Vista and Service Pack (if it is the version
"you try the drivers).Click OK, and then let the race to see if it will install.
=================================================
It also rarely works on the device drivers but it is worth trying:
Another method to try is to run the .exe (if self extraction) or Unzip (if it is compressed) to a folder:

This in type at the prompt and press ENTER.

It will take a little time to respond.
If it does not (error) use the full path to the driver, for example (which can be used for)

Still wait to see if it will install.

I have a 64 bit system and need to change my IE 64 32-bit
I have a 64 bit system and need to change my IE 64 32-bit
Read this info on Flash and 64-bit and 32-bit browsers:
http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/000/6b3af6c9.html
Read the info Adobe above, and very interesting way to use Flash using 32 bit browser in the link below:.
The Internet Explorer shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar, and in the x 64 Vista Start menu will run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer by default. Why run the 32-bit version if IE on the 64-bit version of Vista?
There are actually two shortcuts for Internet Explorer in the "Programs" menu Why two and what is the difference?
This is the title of each and they run exe:
Internet Explorer
"C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.Internet Explorer (64-bit)
"C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.One runs IE in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder, this is the 32-bit version. The second is the 64-bit version.
How can I make the Quick Launch shortcut to run the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?
- Right click on the shortcut
- Click 'properties '.
- On the shortcut tab, replace the contents of the text box 'Target' with the target of the shortcut in the menu 'Programs' 'Internet Explorer (64-bit)'.
- Happy surfing using IE 64 bit
There are traps to running the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?
In fact I know there. At the time where as I write this there are no 64-bit version of Flash Player. So, if you need to view a Web site that uses Flash, then you will need to use the 32 - bit IE version. at least for now. I'm sure that Adobe is going to release a 64 bit version of Flash Player at the end of January when Vista shipped to consumers. But then again, maybe not since Vista x 64 works 32-bit IE by default.
If you have any other IE questions:
It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

They will help you with your question IE in Forum Internet Explorer above.
See you soon.
