I need to go back to XP, Vista in VM Fusion. How can I do this without deleting my VM?
Hi guys,.
I also made the mistake of upgrading my XP VM to Vista and now want to go back to XP. I need to keep my shared file, due to its size and don't have backup media to cover, so I would just rebuild my current VM with XP. When I put in the XP CD, the installation of the software option is grayed out. The documentation says that I can reboot from the CD to get a new installation of windows.
So, how can I get my Mac/VM guest, to boot from the XP CD during the reboot of the guest?
Or y at - it another way to get XP on my virtual machine without blow away my VM?
Thank you
Greg
Unfortunately, for reasons not inherent in the merger at all, you can not downgrade from Vista or Win 7 to XP.
You can install Win XP in a Virtual Machine, and then simply copy your data on. Nothing wrong with having the operation of multiple virtual machines at the same time.

Vista fails to winzip, how can I change this?
Vista fails to winzip, how can I change this to get vista do the zip and unzip as it should?
Whenever I try to open a zipped file, Vista winzip default (I did a test of it). When I right click and choose open with, it shows only IE and Winzip as choice. I know that Vista has it's own built in 'zipper', but I have no idea how to get the default value to the operating system for this function.

I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?
I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died. I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk. I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive? Acer sells not more the disc for this model.
Hello
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
As Acer does not have them, you have to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

I have about 530 jpegs that were the records to progressive JPEG, and I need to save them all to standard baseline JPEG. How to do all this without recording them one by one?
Hi Rachel
Go file > Scripts > Image Processor which opens this Panel
It will be easier if you put all the images in a folder, you can select this folder and all the files it contains batch. The numbered sections are in the order you need to follow, so nice an easy. Don't forget to assign a location record well, or you might struggle to find their.
An alternative, FI you re using Windows is Irfanview. It has more options than the Image Processor, but maybe it's a little harder to use.
Good luck

I have used PP since 1.5 I am now on CS6, but 3 recent updates have been on DVDs of upgrade. Now I need to remove and reinstall the Prime Minister. How can I do this without disc CS6. I can't reinstall CS3 and do the updates individually as CS3 was for Win XP and I'm not sure it would work. Is there a dept in Adobe I can contact (no phone number) to get a DVD CS6. Thank you for any assistance.
Adobe has made this process much simpler in recent years.
No need to re - install any version prior to the current version (CS6). All installers (upgrade or full) contain the complete program code. The difference between the full and upgrade is in the serial number.
All you need to do is download (link below) and install CS6, indicate the number of the CS6 upgrade then enter CS5 serial number (although this is also an upgrade).

Well, I'm a frequent user Firefox announcement recently that my cursor began to disappear when I'm not moving it. However when I press a key it flashes back for a second, when I move it sparkles a lot (one moment sound here awhile it isn't). How can I fix it?
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
Is earlier today (20 July 2010)
One of your modules could be the culprit. Try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode with all disabled add-ons. If that solves the problem, see Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems and possibly troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems

I have three licenses or PS I bought. I have a license to MAC that is stuck on a MAC that has crashed. How can I transfer the license to another MAC? And is it possible to change my Win licenses to MAC licenses?
Whether or not you can license (s) the software on another machine depends on which type of license you have. If you have 3 single user licenses, each of them supports have two active facilities, and you can contact the Adobe Support via chat and ask them to reset the activation if you need to recover that which is lost/inaccessible. You should be able to install only on the new mac if you have a single-user license and use the serial number to activate it.
If you have a volume license then it is another story and I do not quite understand.

Windows vista not install updates, how can I solve this problem
I took my computer compaq running on windows vista & my windows updates will not install what can I do?
I have been working on this since April too and may not know how to solve this problem. Last update was in March. I used the MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run with no luck. He says that he can not solve the problem and leads to a MS web page, which doesn't help. I also stop the update services and several DLLs and then restarted them without success, according to a website of windows troubleshooting. I am not prepared to roll back, nor do I want to reload the operating system. If I do that, I'm going to Linux.

Call the manufacturer of your computer.
Request a set of recovery disks. The cost of the disk is minimal and the money will be well spent.Also ask to speak to a technician and learn how to access your recovery partition (if you have one) and the use of the recovery partition.
Note:
If you have files that you want to keep, save these first before you restore your computer.
