  This is because a product upgrade key requires a copy of Windows to upgrade.  That's why its called an 'upgrade '.

  Restore the copy of Windows you improved the first time and then move on to Vista.

  Hello

  Sounds like hardware and you cannot resolve hardware with the software. Check with the system

  There are). Or check with a real computer store (one who does on its own in-store service
  This brand and model of laptop).

  Remember that you can not resolve hardware with the software.

  Troubleshooting you can try:

  Note the use of Win Key + X and Win Key + W (to go on the Control Panel, Run and parameters
  According to needs). Win + D key calls the office and using Win Key active / disable the Office
  and the splash screen.

• Reinstalled Windows; Serial number no longer works

  I reinstalled Windows, but I forgot to turn off my product (CS4 Master Collection) before doing so. (It was the second computer that my product has been installed). After you have reinstalled Windows, the license key doesn't work anymore, even on the same computer. Adobe aparently sees as being always installed on the old system of Windows, and I have no way to get on without delay.

  Adobe support would not help me because I am a second user and could not transfer the registration of the product in my name. Strangely enough, I 'register' product and site Web from Adobe says that the product is affiliated with my Adobe ID, but the tech support says otherwise.

  Once the uninstall is complete, the only way to fix it is to reinstall the software and then deliberately disable it - but if a system is completely erased and who doesn't...

  Unfortunately the licensing issues are something that only the Adobe Customer Service can help... This is a user forum, and here, we do not have the means to "reset" your meter installation.  So I hope that in this case you can sort with them directly.

• When I update Windows 7, Aero no longer works

  This seems to be a common problem, but I was not able to find a solution. I currently run an ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, processor i7 Q720 and GPU NVidia GTX260M. I always installed updates as required, however, when I install updates currently aero effects no longer work.

  I tried the troubleshooting, and it detects any problems. I checked that my monitor is running in true color (32 bit) and everything seems fine here. I also have the latest NVidia driver.

  If I restore the system before the update, it will return to operation. I thought he was one of the updates of windows that did, so I installed each individually (IE 10 and a defender of windows update) but the result is the same in either. I then tried to install an optional update randomly and the same thing happened. Any suggestions?

  If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

  Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far.
  System Restore may also help in some cases.

• Windows Store apps no longer works

  I recently updated my Windows 8 SVE171321EB and all my applications no longer work. Windows store says it cannot connect to the internet (my connection is fine), the Mail app insists on the fact that the accounts that I have linked to it are not available (and still say after the re-synchronization) and new applications and weather have not updated their story since the update (however they seem to work in the start menu (as I live-active tile and updates new stories/information is at the opening of the app they don't work). I tried on the advice of other questions about similar problems, without success, and a system restore did not resolve the issue. When running through the motions with the Windows App Store troubleshooting tool, I get this clue, but with no advice on how to correct problems found:

  

  I've had this laptop for over a year and it has run very efficiently, but I am at a loss to know what to do.

• Windows key + tab combination stopped working

  I am trying to use the windows key + tab to switch between tab like alt + tab in windows 8. It was working just a couple of days and now it has stopped working for some reason. As far as I know, nothing has changed. I know that the key to windows itself is not broken, because pushing itself brings me to metro and once again back on the desktop. All other windows key combination works, like key windows + I + D + R, everything else tab.

  At least part of the answer is:

  Win + W (search Settings)-> srat typing 'Allow'-> allow switching between these last few Apps-> check App Switching is ON
