I want to switch from XP to 7, but the Upgrade Advisor does not work; How will I know if my computer can handle?
I'm worried that maybe I need to upgrade my computer before you upgrade to Windows 7, so I would really like to Upgrade Advisor to tell me what I need. But whenever I try to run it, it just turns and turns and turns (I mean, more than two hours) without ever come up with anything. So what I do now?
If you want to know if your computer with Windows XP will be able to handle Windows 7, check system requirements Windows 7 on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements.
Compare with your own system, right-click on the icon for my computer and then click Properties.
As long as you an update from XP to 7, the only option you have is Custom installation so there is no sense to the current programs with Windows 7 compatibility check. The thing you should be concerned is the material part. Check the 3 main material that requires compatibility: CPU, RAM and disk space.

Dv6t-7200 notebook want: how will I know if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10?
I searched HP website to see if my computer can be upgraded to windows 10. I also tried the plug assistant in charge of hp and he has just directed me to a page of sale on windows 10. I don't want to mess up this computer and reload all the software, if it's not compatible. Is there a list of compatible computers HP or an app that I can run to check?

Original title: winhttp.dll does not work how can I down load it
I have win xp winhttp dll I can't use adobe or yahoo.
Once more, the response from the Support Engineer with a link to an article that does not help is marked as 'response' by a moderator of the Forum after 6 days of inactivity when it isn't the answer to everything.
It's a real shame the way things work around here. If I were Microsoft and "indulged" these technical support engineers who regularly publish responses that are unnecessary and they are marked as 'response', I think that I would call off the coast of the commitment. "
Usually, it's just not worth reading these Support Engineer 'Answers' as they are not even close. They are usually just wild goose hunting.

I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).
You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
c:\Windows\System32
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.
When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.
You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension. You do not want to use a file called winhttp when the name of the file should really be called winhttp.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.
You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

Satellite A660 Wireless does not work: how to turn on the wireless switch?
Wireless to the new laptop just stopped working. When I press Fn + f8 it says: Wireless Communication is disabled. Please activate the Wireless Communication switch.
I tried to disable and enable wireless, update (Realtek PCie FE family controller) and Broadcom 802.11n network adapter driver and load the default settings in the Bios but nothing has worked. The button on the top panel wireless is turned on and when I press the button, a window called support thoshiba button jump upward and said: the key has not been configured. But this happens to other laptops also (we have 8 portable type, even), it cannot use the wifi. What can I do now?

Hello
Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like thatPS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

How to unlock iphone 5s so that I can pass the cell phone service?
Start by contacting AppleCare to determine the true state of the phone lock. No Verizon iPhone since the 4 was sold in a locked state. Thus, unless Virgin did something to the phone, he should be unblocked. Apple will be able to tell you if the phone is locked in fact and, if so, what kind of society.
