Packed HARD drive
If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?
Yes.
Not at all.
N °
If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish. A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.
Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer... Then you have a problem.
Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

Recently, my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. How can I reinstall Lightroom?
Here is a link to the trial version:
Adobe - Lightroom: For Macintosh: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1

It comes to the trial version, but it can be activated with your existing serial number. If you do not have your serial number, but that you have registered your Adobe Lightroom then you can log into your account enter your serial number. If you register your software and you do not have a record of your serial number, then you need to contact Adobe. Serial numbers are crucial, and it takes to ensure that you have access to them for situations like the one you are in.

Basically, I installed windows 2000 on my machine and I can't find a download for windows vista home basic that doesn't have some kind of crack or keygen. I want a legal copy not a hack. I have the serial number supplied with my computer. where can I find this download or get a drive.
Here are all LEGAL for Vista:
How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

I've been buying and using Adobe Photoshop through many versions over the past decades. and I used to recommend it whenever I had the opportunity. Now I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. I could say much more that this, using my parents taught me to not use words.
Now, Adobe has their head in the clouds and does not care one iota of loyal customers.
I had CS3 on a CS4 on another and CS6 on another machine. The hard drive on the machine with CS3 and had to be replaced. I am trying to reinstall CS3 on the same computer, but Adobe won't let me activate it, even if I'm putting it on the computer, on which he was originally. I paid for it, I went by the rules, and Adobe will not even for me. And as far as I know, Adobe is released so far in the clouds has nothing but contempt for people who kept them in business for decades.
What I would really like to do, it of pass the machine that originally had on that CS3 and CS3, put on the machine which has now the CS4 CS4, but I guess no one at Adobe case what I would like, even if I pay for the software and I have no intend to try to have it installed on more than one machine at a time.
A disgruntled FORMER Adobe customer.

See the help of Activation & deactivation and follow the links, so you can disable your CS3 (via chat). Be sure to have your serial number available. Then you should be able to activate on the new drive.

G6-2206tx: hard drive crashed and I have not created any recovery media
My flat hard has been planted I brought a new but to restore my hp of hai geniune windows 8 tools I created recovery media and when I opened my laptop it says: no operating system someone help pls
Hello
There are two options available.
1. you can order a set of replacement of the recovery media using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office). They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.
2. download the file to Image of Windows 8 on the following link - Note that this Image file is subject to a ceiling of download, you may need to try over a period of a few hours before the download starts correctly.
https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1
Use an app like ImgBurn (Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.
If you instead create a flashdrive bootable for this Image, try the free app below.
The oem for Windows 8 product key is encrypted in your bios chip and read automatically during installation.
Other software and drivers you need can be found here.
Kind regards

After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way. In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years. Is it possible to consolidate them in a library? And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?
In the future more facts and less editorial help here
SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem
What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)
You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries
You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock
When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library
I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7. I am also having a problem installing Adobe Flash player. It is said that API-MS-Win-Core-Registery-l1-1-0.dll is missing but I don't know what it is. Any suggestions?
"Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.
Try to upgrade manually:

- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
If the problem persists, try the upgrade manually, but choose the option to keep personal files only, you will have to reinstall applications.
