• Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail?

  I went to the store to buy a copy of Windows 7. When I got home, I realized it was the OEM 64-bit edition. I already opened and installed. I just noticed that I should use the copy that I am not a seller of computer retail. Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail? I'll be money for theOEM. I guess I should have ask a seller in the store, but they were all occupied. I installed it for someone else while they are mad at me. Can I do a system restore to solve the problem?

  Original title: oem vs retail

  There is nothing wrong with using an OEM copy, its identical to a retail license, just that he has a certain license terms. Considering that the retail licenses are rare and expensive right now, I'd work with OEM license. Microsoft ended sales at retail of Windows 7 in October 2013, while they carry a premium right now.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• I bought Halo 2 for Vista, but who like OS Windows XP Pro, just can't launch the startup.exe, I search the community, there is a rumor that it won't work even with the patch. Can someone help, please?

  I bought Halo 2 for Vista, but who like OS Windows XP Pro, just can't launch the startup.exe, I search the community, there is a rumor that it won't work even with the patch. Can someone help, please?

  Unfortunately, Halo 2 does support Windows Vista and more.  Windows XP is not supported.  There may be 3 party hacks that can make it work, but they are not taken in charge and potentially dangerous.

• Download of the current file will stop if I close the window of the Downloader?

  Download of the current file will stop if I close the window of the Downloader in Firefox 4.0.1? This was not the case with the 3.x versions.

  No, as long as you don't close Firefox then the download will continue.

  You can set the browser.download.manager.quitBehavior pref to 2 on the topic: config page.
  
  That will make Firefox asks for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

  Hi, I recently bought an iPhone 5s. Now, according to the sources, the new "5se" would probably replace the ' 5s ' in the near future. I'm afraid that I won't get it more updated and after sales support for my 5 seconds (if any problem is found). Is this possible? Apple will provide an upgrade for free or minimum package 5se 5 seconds it's users?

  The terms of the terms of USE on this forum we cannot speculate on what Apple may or may not do. That being said, there is no priority for what you ask. There is no way of knowing how long your device will be able to continue to upgrade to new versions of iOS. As long as he is able to run the new versions of iOS, it is fully supported. This is the level of iOS, not the hardware that is important here.

  See you soon,.

• Windows 8 is a mess - I reinstalled Windows 7, what pleases me. Please confirm that there will be continued support for Windoiws 7

  It is still not easy in Windows 8 to close an application! The only bits I liked in it are the bits of desktop Windows 7, so I finally reinstalled Windows 7, which is perfectly adapted to my needs, unlike Windows 8, which seems to be all in all. I use and have used Windows as the platform for development of ideas since many years, but the latest version appears more oriented than creator-oriented consumer and may be where our paths diverge. Which brings me to the question: Windows 7 and Windows 7 support will continue to be available as a separate option in the foreseeable future? Or should I be looking in the direction of Linux?

  You will not be able to have Windows 7 supported forever, even if no one expected that Windows XP would be always supported 11 years later and with the support of end of 2014, its realization, another for the operating system. I see its a similar scenario to happen for Windows 7, tested and proven. Even when Microsoft officially decides end of support, you will still be able to use it.

  Another thing, I've been to restaurants, businesses, banks and they are always running BACK. I was even a taylor, who runs a program for creating patterns under Windodws 95. It comes 15 years after its release. Bill Gates once said, you could buy a license from us and never buy another product or license from us again.

  Microsoft said that the future will consist of two PC on Windows 7 and windows 8 devices that would suggest there will be a coexistence between the two. Microsoft also touted Windows 8 as a liberation that share many of the same features that makes just more manageable than Windows 7.

  Another thing, companies won't switch to Windows 8 at night especially if they are being deployed to Windows 7, which is now a proven product. Companies will perhaps deploy Windows 8 in some scenarios, such as mobile, workers of the word employees (mainly vertical industries) and possibly introduce it on new systems as they do PC refresh cycles.

• When Microsoft will release product keys for the new xbox live beta dashboard for users? 26 August

  Hello

  I am registered for the new program to update xbox live dashboard beta and I was wondering when microsoft will likely make the product keys available for this update will take place. I waited more than 24 hours now and I find it unacceptable to keep the people waiting for such a highly anticipated update.

  did anyone know when these product keys are likely to become available because I'm starting to lose my patience now.

  syhawkes

  I would check the updates on the site of Major Nelson

  When I made the beta for the dashboard they usually come out in waves. You just need patience because there is no time to get it.

• I got a topic that Microsoft has stopped responding! Win 8 BSOD

  First of all, I bought my MSI from Amazon: November 28, 2013, given that on that day there I used it for 3 weeks. I've had so many blue screens, it's boring, so I tried to bugs found on this forum, microsoft and amazon and all over the web, nothing worked, so I paid to send it to the Global KSA warranty Center and they sent it back saying they re installed windows original 8 and I tried for half a day and it was fixed and he was not (coz I sometimes don't you mistake for a day or two) (, but then get a lot in like 20 min or so... and sometimes I bring all the few hours), I still have the same BSOD and a new error sometimes sound disappear and tried to reinstall drivers, disable them and re install or activate them nothing works except reboot, no, I was hoping that someone can tell me something again I do not know I have here are the dump files :

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/redir?RESID=D997559A9A109AEA! 377 & authkey =! AKUNYffDWhSp2LE&ithint=file%2c.zip

  And btw how to read dump files?
  Thank you

  The attached file of the DMP is to bug checking KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (1e) .

  This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which did not catch the error handler.

  Bugcheck 1E, {ffffffffc0000005, fffff803d487b453, 1, 0}

  ^^ 1 bug checking parameter is 0xc0000005 indicating an access violation has occurred.

  The exception occurred in nt! crc32Map32.

  Overall, the discharge is active auditor but fails to detect any driver in violation, which leads me to believe that this can be hardware related, or pilot a very low activity causing the corruption that we can't catch, but I can't be sure.

  -----------------

  At this point, the best thing I can recommend is a CLEAN (or Reset) installation of Windows 8. After that it's over, just install the latest drivers for your computer from the site of MSI (not updated for Windows, the Device Manager, etc.). You can of course install games if you want, but not 3rd party software like antivirus, firewall, driver install agents, etc.

  In this way, if you crash on a clean install or reset and everything that you have the latest drivers, it's material and we can move forward accordingly and appropriately from there.

• A button that doesn't stop and audio for the current scene (not to stop all sounds)

  Basically, I'm creating a history book, each scene has audio, I want my next button (ordered to the next scene) to stop the sounds on the current scene when you click on it so that they do not continue to the next scene.
  The action "stop all sounds" keeps the sounds on the next stages of the game.

  What should I do?

  SoundMixer.stopAll () stop not the sounds that are instantiated after executing the stopAll() method.

  But if you want more control over your sounds, they should be instantiated using actionscript.

• Why Microsoft will not permit use of the gift card online and why not pre order the Surface in stores using my gift card?

  I tried to order in advance the Microsoft Surface with my Microsoft Store Gift card, but apparently I can't use it online that is fine because I should have just asked my parents to pre-order in store. Evil. You can't pre-order the Surface in the store at all despite being told by a representative of the Bank that it was possible on the phone. For a company that enters the Tablet market if later I guess making the process easier would help push the product, but apparently, it does not matter for Microsoft. I go to the store and buy my car gift, but since I'm in College now and about 500 miles from my house and with the Microsoft Store closest being 2 hours of road, which is not really possible for me. I just want to say that telephone support staff have little or no information on the Tablet no more. I was told that the tablet will not be in stores for a period of 1 to 2 months and I should just wait if I wanted to use my gift card. Then I was pushed to just order it with my credit card and get something with my gift card.

• How can I keep the active profile so that it will not be closed by the user profile service and crash my application?

  I'm a 1530 entry in the event log of user profile for a custom .net application service that is managed by a scheduled task (non-interactive) followed an appcrash for my request entry. The application performs a treatment and if it is impossible to delete some files because of the activity of the user will sleep for a few minutes before trying again. It is usually during this period of sleep that I have noticed this issue. It's on a Windows Server 2008 R2 computer.
