• Is there a way to get a copy of Windows Media Center 2005 french as I have a valid license key for a version of MC in XP

  Original title: media library

  I have a HP M7330 Media Center with a dead MB machine. Changed the MB & learned, too late, "Mo tattoo" as fact by HP & cannot use the recovery partition to reinstall. I'm looking for a way to get a copy of Windows Media Center 2005 french as I have a valid license key for a version of XP MC, this license does not work with my XP Pro drive & my better half - would like to get this machine in order for the moment.

  Thanks for any help before the machine answers my sledgehammer.

  Luke

  Hello

  Windows XP Media Center is available for OEM only and if you don't have a motherboard the OEM valid, it will not activate.

  The only option would be to get a newer version of Windows if your system supports or get an OEM motherboard (HP) that you can use the recovery on.

  Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

  Hello Bob w. NY

  Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

  As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

  Why do I get "this copy of Windows is not genuine. Build 7601, Windows 7 "? Windows was preinstalled on my computer when I bought 7 years ago. This message just started yesterday.

• Is it still possible to get the 64-bit Windows Vista support?

  Hello!

  Well, I have a copy to authentic detail, under license of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. He put 32 bit media. But at the time when Vista comes out, I could order the 64-bit Vista Home Premium support which I use today with the same license key that came on the parcel.
  About a year ago I bought the Windows Vista Express upgrade, which is valid for a Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade. But the disk is 32-bit only! So, I was wondering if it is still possible to get the 64-bit separately, support only this time, for the edition of Vista Ultimate? I ask this question because I would like to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, but still run on 64-bit, since I can't spend 64-bit Home Premium to Ultimate 32 - bit.
  I know that it may be too late now, given the fact that Windows 7 is already out and Windows 8 is in its phase of consumer preview now. But I am not really interested in upgrading to one of them at this stage. All I really want is just to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, but I need the 64-bit support, since I already have the license key.
  Maybe that Microsoft may allow me to download an ISO image of the Vista Ultimate 64-bit? That would be good enough for me, I don't care for the physical disc, it is not really necessary. I could get some pirate site or something like that, since I already own not one but two licenses, but I don't want that.
  Thanks in advance!

  The disks are probably non-destinee resale and this may explain the color.

  The Express Upgrade product key is specific to an upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate.  The product key with the expedition is probably a full license key.

  > By 'Matrix Vista upgrade', you mean upgrading one bit-version to the other, like 64-bit to 32-bit or 32-64, right?

  N ° upgrade matrix tells you if an upgrade installation is allowed or a custom installation is required when moving from one edition of Windows to another.

  > Also, if I use a key Vista Home Premium that I have today to install Home Premium and then upgrade to Vista Ultimate, what happenes to my old key? The old key become invalid/replaced by the new key that I got the update? I mean where I want to go back to the old edition, I've had to go back to Vista Home Premium, I reuse this old key?

  You can use the old key to return to the old edition.  However, you can not use the key to install the old edition on a different computer.  The old key is bound to the key to upgrade.

  > "" If a user is running a 32-bit version of Windows, a user can only be upgraded to another 32-bit version: upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit requires a clean installation. ""

  Now you are confusing a "install update" with an 'upgrade license '.  A retail upgrade license is valid to move from a 32-bit edition to a 64-bit edition, but an upgrade installation is not allowed and a custom installation is required (due to the change in the number of bits of the installation).

   
  > And now Microsoft will probably speed up the versions of Windows, with new versions coming out every two years or more, or has done.
   
  Not true.  Microsoft has been on a cycle of three years for a long time.  There is no speed upward.  Vista has been delayed for two years, when Microsoft declared a moratorium until security problems in Windows have been fixed (XP SP2 was the result).
   
  > I don't know about Windows 7. I don't know if I'll get it or wait for Windows 8. I hear a lot of misfortunes for Windows 7
   
  I don't know where you got this info.  Windows 7 is much better than Vista or XP.  Vista is the one that is panned by critics as a real dog.  Try Windows 7 and you will never look back.
   

• Is it possible to get the files for windows vista, so I can reinstall my system?

  Hello

  Im a user of linux on one machine HP Pavilion dv5-1095eo leisure. IM tired to restart my machine to run a windows OS, so is possible for me to get the files for windows vista. I got the windows key attached under the computer and I don't have any windows CD when I brought the machine.

  Hello:

  You can do your own installation disc Vista too if you wish.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

  Hi NickieA,

  It seems that your Windows XP is preinstalled on your computer.  If this is the case, you should be able to return to the manufacturer of the computer for request restore media/install disk.  They may charge you a fee according to the manufacturer.

  I hope this helps!
