I just had a new hard drive installed (with XP), and no matter where I set the resolution, everything seems to be stretched horizontally

I just had a new hard drive installed with XP, and no matter what I set the resolution to, everything now looks stretched horizontally.  I don't have this problem with the old hard drive containing XP

If you did a clean installation of XP, then you must install the hardware drivers for your components. Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC, then download and install the latest Windows XP drivers for your model.

  • How to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7

    Original title: window 7

    Hi can one tell me how to get a product key, that I had a new hard drive installed in the computer shop and it seems that there is no key for windows 7, I just brought Office 2016 and he did not finish the load down with the windows key 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    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

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

    original title: new hard drive and vista

    Hello

    strange that you can request that

    HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive

    There were a few posters with this problem here

    If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)

    You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.

    I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD

  • installed a new hard drive install vista and full custom

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop and I tried several times to re - install windows vista, I have not yet defined a partition, but I don't think that should affect the initial installation. I can get windows installed the first reboot and after it goes to a screen installation complete and remains on for about 20 minutes, after that I get a black screen with a cursor. I'm clueless as to what is the question.

  • New hard drive install OS

    I have the original Vista OS on my desk m9452p.  IM is about to install a new hard drive.  Vista doesn't let me start dvd via the Recovery Manager.  Is anyway that I can get around that, if not I have no way to load an operating system on my new hard drive.  The former there is also a factory recovery disc recorded in it.  Is that I'm screwed and a new OS.

    The intent of the recovery Partition is to reinstall the operating system as it was from the factory.  For Vista, which won't be a HUGE back.  Are you sure this is what you want?  This means that all the updates and everything you've added since then (when you first started the computer, when it's new) will be lost.  If everything works with the old hard drive, I would use a cloning software to make the new drive hard all along with the former.  This way, everything is kept.  If you mind not to return to the "cool facorty" PC then use the set of recovery DVDs that you made when the PC was new, or make one now.  See HERE

    Hello

    Make sure the SD card works on other computers.

    The card reader is a USB device to ensure that other USB devices work.

    Check with HP, their drivers support and documentation online and ask in the forums of HP where it
    others will be with the same or similar model. I hope this is just the driver. It is possible that the device has been
    back not connected properly or even damaged when installing the new hard drive.

  • New hard drive, installed Windows XP PRO version 2002 - resolution screen and internet problems

    My Dell has had some problems (patially due to age), so a buddy of mine and I put a new hard drive in it and then installed windows XP Pro.  Installation went great, but now that it's installed, I can not get the screen resoultion to change and I can't connect to the internet.  I feel like with the internet, can I have a driver problem.  I know that the internet works, I'm on it with the laptop right now.  Any suggestions?

    ????  I'm not sure I understand your question. You download the drivers to a place, you will find them, as the office. If you want to put them on a USB stick, copy the files downloaded to the key and take it to the computer target. Copy the files on the computer desktop. Double-click on a file and it will unpack the installation routine starts. Follow the installation wizard. Reset when said to repeat as needed until all the drivers, etc are installed. Subsequently, you can delete the downloaded files from Dell (from installation .exe). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    I have a router E4200 and had loaded on my laptop Connect. My hard drive crashed and needs replacement. I have had no problem signing on my WiFi once I got the new installed hard drive.

    With the new hard drive, I now do not have Linksys Connect installed on my laptop. My question is: can I re - install connection with the router works perfectly good or re-setup Connect with the router already up and running will cause me problems?

    Thanks for any help.
