Inherited in Win7 Pro software installation

I recently bought a Dell laptop with Win7 64 bit OS.  I try to install some legacy software that has previously worked in WinXP.  I've upgraded to Win7 Pro to be able to install and run "Windows XP Mode" but cannot open the XP Mode with an error message about the lack of "hardware-assisted Virtualization.  I ran Microsoft detection tool that indicates the hepatitis a is not available on the computer.  I've not seen any wherever it could be activated in the BIOS.  Really need the old software!

You can't run XP Mode if your hardware does not support. However, you can still run XP in a virtual machine using virtualization software such as MS Virtual PC , VMware Workstation or VirtualBox from Sun . You will need to have a full retail version of XP to install in the virtual machine that is not in use on another computer.

  • A clean installation of Win7 Pro 64 Bit OS SP1 maintains the search for updates. (Error 0 x 80070005 windows update)

    Hi, I recently formatted my HD and clean installed with an older version of Win7 Pro SP1 x 64 OS, I more than a week now looking online for help, but nothing is. Windows Update appears to hang "search for updates". I don't presume that my Pc is virus free because of a clean install, so I'm not sure that Microsoft stopped providing updates for older versions of windows or not. I also tried to upgrade to OS 64-bit win10 everything works fine with the installation until it reaches "search for updates" which also hangs and does not download updates, I tried Microsoft stand-alone install also but who doesn't either. I also tried running "Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool" results are lower. I also tried to reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on the Microsoft Web site and found a windows "0x80070005" error code also known as "access denied." Something to do with registry permissions I think. A boot minimum, then run the Microsoft fixit would fix the issue im having with windows update.

  • Permissions insufficient to complete the operation after a clean installation of Adobe Bridge in Win7 Pro

    Three installed days ago Adobe photography CC bundle, which includes Photoshop CC, CC LR and bridge. I've never had this software on my computer before. I am running Win7 Pro with all updates installed. I'm on a single computer, only user with administrative rights.

    I wanted to use the extended features of the bridge to reorganize my D about 30,000 files raw drive photo library. I moved a folder to a new location without any problem. Unfortunately, now I am more able to move, copy, rename, or delete files in Bridge after moving only one folder. I got the message that I had insufficient administrative rights to complete the operation. I have administrative rights. Why could I offers a folder but not others?

    I tried to rename, move files with Windows Explorer, but got the message: you need administrator rights to complete this operation. I clicked on the button continue and the operation is complete.

    I spent two days several hours the Webchat and nearly five hours on the phone with Adobe support technology. We found in the 'Hidden' administrator I can complete all the actions file/folder without problem. However, I can not yet perform the same operations in my original user account, and I repeat, with administrative rights! This has been verified to the DOS prompt.

    Adobe technology had me reset the permissions in the folder Adobe Advanced Security/owner of the tabs, but nothing helped. I can not yet use this expensive software due to problems of Windows permissions. Also note that the UAC is in its default settings. Windows warns far from reducing the lowest.

    I've scoured the Microsoft Windows website for answers and found no that relate to my situation/scenario.

    Help, please!

    The unknown account is referred to an account that you deleted from this machine. You must now seize the property of the D: drive, the new permissions recursively apply.

  • Failure of KB974431 update with 8007000D on a clean install of Win7 Pro 64-bit

    Hi all

    I just finished a clean install of Win7 pro 64 bit and everything looks on with the activated product key.  I'm applying 50 some important updated via update, but I have one that fails each time, KB974431.

    According to this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/27737d55-9c10-44b5-b701-6ba147c78364, another person having this problem had luck manually download and install the update.  But it did not work for me (I created a new thread because his son was in the installation forum).

    KB94431 was also causing problems for people who concoct a C004F050 error as in this thread:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/ff57f326-0f1d-412c-a4d0-14de1eaf0836/ although I didn't have this error, I tried running sfc/SCANNOW and he did report that he "finds corrupted files but could not solve some of them."  I don't really know what I should look for in the CBS.  By suggestion of the thread, I installed 64-bit Windows Update Agent and Windows Update is represented nothing doesn't.

    I think I have a corrupted file update is already downloaded that Windows is trying to use each time and it fails.   They seem to live in files Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and Windows\Servicing\Packages.  Although I can change the permissions to delete the file in Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (and I've tried it without change of failure), access is denied whenever I try to touch the Windows\Servicing\Packages or its content.

    The only installed software were the latest EVGA nforce and drivers for video card, Norton Security Suite and the SoundBlaster last for my sound card driver.

    Any suggestions?

  • Windows Defender for Win7 Pro 64-bit

    Hello...

    I have yet to find a simple, straightforward answer to my question...

    Windows DEFENDER is compatible with Win7 Pro 64 bit?

    I remember trying to install it several times before, but all I get are errors... I see messages indicating that they get errors as well and download links that Defender is available for Win7 so I don't know what to believe

    Is it?

    Or

    Is it NOT?

    Windows Defender (WD) is integrated into Windows 7 and provides protection from spyware only, which means that you need to install an antivirus product.

    WD is disabled automatically whenever an antivirus product is installed. This is normal and you should not try starting WD.

    In case there is another installed anti-virus product or come pre-installed, you must decide on one and the other, uninstall using the removal tool respective (the list of anti-malware - Microsoft community product removal tools ).

    In case you want to use Microsoft Security Essentials:

    Microsoft Security Essentials consolidated FAQ

    and

    Microsoft Security Essentials Installation Checklist

    and

    Configure Microsoft Security Essentials | www.WinHelp.us

    Otherwise, see for example here: choose an anti-virus program

If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  • Broadband (download) speed in Win7 x 64 installation slower than expected

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7 Pro installed on the same desk (separate hard disks), and I noticed that in my 64 bit version, the DSL speed was lower most of the time.

    My Verizon DSL subscription guarantees 1 megabit per second (128 kilobytes per second), or so should be.  I ran a test of speed to cFosSpeed.de on my OS and my laptop Win8.1.  My Win7 64 bit registered 542 kilobits/s (67.8 K / s), and my Win7 32-bit recorded 943 kilobits/s (117.9 K / s).  I tested my laptop, and I get 939 Kb/s (117.3 K / s),

    There is nothing in my task manager that indicates that something in my machine, or any software, is cannibalizing my speed broadband in Win7 x 64 and I have Kaspersky running, and he has not picked up what could be the cause.  So, how did my broadband is running at full speed in my Win7 32-bit configuration, but only 57.5% of the speed in my Win7 64-bit installation?  And everyone knows about such a large difference between their installation to 64-bit and 32-bit installation?

    I simply started clean my machine, and I get the normal broadband speed in my Win7 x 64 environment.

    I allowed each of my services to software one by one, and it wasn't long to find the service software interfering with my broadband speed.  It belongs to my cFosSpeed Service system, software that came with my card mother ASRock Z77 Extreme6.  The software is XFast LAN, v6.61.1880.

    I suspect it was because of a bad installation of the driver of the motherboard, my DVD software.  I deleted the software, then reinstalled, and so far, I get a normal speed for my x 64 environment.

  • Buy a Win7 Pro upgrade for my XP desktop

    Hello.  There are hordes of scam websites, selling software. Where can I reliable buy software update Win7 Pro 64-bit for my XP Pro system long loved it please?

    Thanks a lot for comprehensive advice.

    Could I ask a few more questions?

    1. where do MAR licenses match in the spectrum it please?

    Here's should only be used by authorized companies who resell the refurbished computers.

    2. under OEM.

    "you say" ","OEM licenses are bound to the first computer you install and activate it on " do you mean the old software, in this case XP or Win7 (hopefully) new?

    No, the version of Windows 7 OEM.

    You say "the OEM versions can be used to upgrade directly from an older Windows operating system" does that mean that I have to do a clean install of Win7 and can't use tools such as Windows Easy Transfer please?

    Yes, you will need to do a clean install, but you can restore a Windows Easy Transfer. MIG file. With a clean installation, settings, applications and personal files are not preserved. Please note, Windows Easy Transfer do not back up the applications, settings and personal files only.

  • I have a HP with installed Win7 Pro workstataion laptop refurbished 32-bit

    I have a workstation with installed HP Win7 Pro laptop refurbished 32-bit hard disk main. I plan to buy a second new HD and install a Win 7 64 bit for having so a dual boot. I had planned out the first HD, plug the new HD and install Win7 64 bit of my DVD for refurbished computer. Plug the first Hd so I can have a dual boot with 32 or 64 bits. I like to know if the procedure is correct or do not know the exact procedure, why I do not know if in the DVD there is also Win7 64 and is also within a DVD where is.
    Thank you for the help
    Valter

    You can do that, because the license is only for use with an architecture, 32 or 64 bits. You can't have both on the same computer. So, either you work with Windows 7 64-bit or reinstall Windows 7 32 bit on the new hard drive.

    the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is designed to drive 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 or 64 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.

  • I upgraded to win7 starter to win7 pro with a clean install

    IM missing 3 drivers that the manufacturer of laptops would not give to me the notebook is an Acer ZE7 they told me that they have not recommend an upgrade to win7 pro. sounds really fishy to me I need to level 5 more portable win7 pro.

    Please help me with an answer as soon as POSSIBLE

    I suggest you to reinstall Windows 7 Starter and use Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. Personally, I can't find any information on this model. Anytime Upgrade will reduce the headache. Windows 7 Starter and professionals are based on the same kernel, so the same driver will work for 3 lack of pilots. Reinstall Windows 7 Starter using the tools of recovery of manufacturers.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

  • Win7 Pro XP Mode with more than 4 cores of the processor installed

    There is a small class of Windows 7 users in a particular section.  Leave section A Win7 users with more than the standard 4 hearts of the processor installed, in some cases, several times more.  Or B article Win7 users "legacy Software".  Note that "legacy software" not only old XP/32 software but also includes some advanced technical software for which the latest version is not stable on Win7 or Vista, and which also does not work on any operating system other than Windows.  People who reside in sections A and B, called 'Goblet' hereby shall Win7 Pro XP mode.  However, XP mode currently fails to install the last step with no further comment or recommendation, for all people in the section AxB.  There is a related hotfix KB2519949 which covers the series of chips AMD 8-core Bulldozer.  Microsoft has indicated that KB2519949 is highly specific instance and emits a strong caveat.  The fix may not work and may even be unstable on some systems.  Miscrosoft indicates on page Web KB2519949 further research is necessary.  I need to install XP mode and the Virtual Machine on Win7 Pro with 2 x Intel CPU E5-2620 (24 hearts).  I would accept that XP mode can run on only a subset of my installation of CPU, but only on condition that this does not affect my full CPU installation and proper use on Win7.  This is part of my doctoral research, and the problem has delays.

    Hello

    The question you posted would be better suited in the TechNet Forums. I would recommend posting your query in the Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode Forums.
