I installed Virtual PC 2007 on the Vista operating system, and then when he was invited by Virtual PC, I inserted my XP Home UPGRADE disk. An error message says it's a disc invalid or not a valid Microsoft disks. All solutions?
I'm running Vista Ultimate, but my scanner is not working properly. I was told to download Virtual PC 2007 and run the scanner using my old opeatring XP system. I downloaded Virtual PC and it my new system in place, but when I went to install XP using my disk upgrade Xp Home edition, an error message indicates that the disk was not valid.
You cannot use a disk/license update of XP in a Virtual Machine.
You need a Full Disk/license XP that isn't a Licence(pre-installed by the Computer Manufacturer) OEM from another computer.
See you soon.

I recently changed to windows 7 from vista. I was wondering if there is a way to recover old photos of the vista operating system... If so can someone help me
If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.
I hope this helps.

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.

What is the best for my computer and do I uninstall the antivirus software of original Trend before or after the installation of the new software, and how do I do?
Hello
Frankly, I would not use all three, and never you have on the machine now that you must
Delete (so you have only a major antivirus on the system) do not forget to use the removal of their creator tools
or anyone who can leave problems using scraps.Download replacements, but do not install until after the removal of those present and restart.
For any need to use this method:
Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN

Here's what I use and recommend: (all are free and offer exceptional protection)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
(Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.htmlOr use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.

can I install my CS Master collection on my PC now and then when I buy a mac later install on this computer?
What version of the Masters Collection?
The answer is no, unless you have CS6. Creative Suite serial numbers are for specific operating system: Windows only or Mac only.
Adobe offers a process of exchange of platform (Win, Mac and vice versa) but only for the current versions and this is something all or nothing (you must abandon your serial number of Windows constantly to get the serial number Mac and vice versa):
