I need to remove installed OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and install XP. Help please!

It is a new work computer, not my personal machine.  Our main piece of software, ACT! 2000, will not work on W7.  We bought the new law! 2010, but he does not play well with the rest of the desktop computers, server included.  I know that the best thing to do would be to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, and then load Windows Virtual PC to run XP.  But because of $$$ and $$$ already spent on this new computer, upgrade to W7 Pro is not on the table right now.

And am not extremely computer, but I get.  :)  I did a lot of reading on the erasure of Windows 7 & install XP, and I've seen a lot read on hardware/driver problems: ATA, AHCI and SATA configurations... now I'm just lost.

Is there someone who can tell me, in terms of Joe 6-pack , how to proceed?

Once, my new Dell Inspiron 560 came loaded with Windows 7 Home Edition, and I need to remove it completely and install Windows XP, I have the disc.

Thanks a bunch!

Unfortunately, Dell provides Windows XP drivers for this system, so any installation of Windows XP is not supprted by Dell andcan not work and even install

To install winxp you need a retail version of Windows XP, you must then boot from winxp cd and perform a clean installation

    It comes to graphics cards which are older than AMD HD 5000 (version ' 09) and Nvidia GTX 400 (exit 10) series.

    Go to Windows / System 32 folder (and SysWOW64 if you have 64-bit).
    -They are in alphabetical order and begin by d3dx9_24.dll > 43. Then d3dx10 - 33 43 >

  • I need a download site for windows 7 Home premium 32-bit, I have a product key

    Try to upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium Vista SP2. Bought the upgrade of Office Depot, but do not have a cd to load just the product key.

    You have purchased an Express upgrade. Windows 7 Anytime Upgrades are only intended to upgrade an existing edition of Windows 7 to a higher edition, example: Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition.

    You must return the product and buy the right type of license:

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Windows_Upgrade_Matrix

    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • How to pass windows 7 Home premium 32-bit to windows 8 pro 64-bit

    I have just ordered pre Windows 8 pro which is 32/64 bit. I am running Windows 7 home premium 32-bit and want to upgrad to windows 8 pro 64 bit.

    Do I need an another full OEM 64 bit version or upgrad version will do?  Thank you.

    Your documents and it will be in the Windows.old folder, but all programs that you have installed will be gone. Going from 32-bit to 64-bit is a clean install and all programs that you all will need to be reinstalled.

    It would be wise to save all documents, photos, music, and anything else that you do not want to lose before doing the installation.

    even I tried to download from a different ISP to different computer who does not, but still downloading does not.

    It stops after download of mbs, then the speed drops to-0 bytes and then I won't get any speed, but if I restart again the download will begin. Sometimes it does not starts and redirects the page where I get the error 404 not found link.

    On chrome and internet explore downloads stop it shows that it is downloaded, but when I see the file size, it is only about 500 MB or some time 2.5 GB. I tried to download a large file of them they download quiet well medium is not interrupted.

    My internet connection is slow to 1 Mbps in my city there is no connection over 4 Mbps.

    Looks like I need to have a no lower than 50 Mbps connection speed to download this file. :(

    Now the links above

    the link no. 4 does not work for me, it says to contact technical support after that enter my product key, so I asked the support chat Microsoft to see how is going to get the windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, and then they gave me links to the last link given by them is no. 1. No. 3, I got from Google search.

    So, as mentioned before, the recovery software page is extremely buggy and often fails to validate, or in my case, after the first trials, charge at all. It was down for several hours, even after I had installed Win7 and was able to get online.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit: MP3 edition & display of metadata in windows explore

    I have a question about WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 BIT and edit and display METADATA of MP3 files in windows Explorer. Windows Explorer does not allow me to change the metadata (contributing artists, genre, year, etc.) on some of my MP3 files. Change is made at the bottom of the browser or right click on the MP3 file and edit in the Details tab in the properties. Sometimes the metadata are referred to as tags.

    The error I get when I try to change metadata in windows Explorer is:

    Error 0x8007000D: the data is invalid

    This is a new computer and Windows 7 is pre-installed.

    Help please!

    I'd even though my library removing these hidden ID3v2.4 tags, I found a quick, if making mp3tag. Select a whole bunch of songs (no matter if they have the extra layer of ID3v2.4 tags) and remove the labels. Then click on the Cancel button. During the cancellation he writes only ID3v2.3 tags and remove the hidden ID3v2.4 tags. This way is easier because I don't have to worry about destroying it the tag data id3 files that do not have the problem.

  • Active microphone but do not pick up sound on the Samsung QX411-W02UB (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Samsung QX411-W02UB refurbished with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and everything was going a lot until I've decided to try Skype and noticed that the microphone did not work. I'm starting to think that maybe since it is a used laptop, the microphone can just be pulled.
    I downloaded the RealTek HD Audio Driver, enabled in his preferences and set the volume and levels of boost to their maximum values (100% and + 36.0dB, respectively). I have all disabled devices shown, the only other being "Stereo Mix - RealTek High Definition Audio - Ready." I tested the microphone with this second 'device' on and off, inside and outside of Skype.
    Here's what he did:
    The bar on the right side of the active microphone (microphone - Realtek High Definition Audio - Default Device) has a few green flickering bars as if the microphone works for about 1 to 7 seconds, but then everything stops. I spoke directly to the microphone and nothing happens. When I do a test call on Skype with Echo/Sound Test Services, I hear no reading of my voice.
    I made an audio recording of troubleshooting, and it detects no problem (I've seen all the details and they all say "not present delivers". I've also updated everything need be updated (restarts and all).
    So it's pretty much my problem. I wouldn't want to return a laptop because the built-in microphone did not work. I hope I described it well enough. I worked on it for about 6 hours now so my brain becomes blurred and tired at all.
    Is there possible solutions to this problem or it looks like I'll have to use an external mic?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi, thanks for the response.

    I tried to do what you suggested, without success.
    After I posted this, I discovered in fact two other problems with hardware, so it looks like I'll return it.
    Thanks again! I appreciate it.
