• Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows Vista on my new pc?

  Windows vista on new pc

  Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows vista on my new pc?
  I received an activation message and I don't know what to do

  If your Vista came pre-installed in your old PC, then this is an OEM license that cannot be transferred to your new PC.

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
  Once saved, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
  To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

  Please also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case with your machine, but do NOT quote the key on the sticker!

  You want to run old DOS program on a computer with Windows VISTA 64-bit operating system.

  Hi BrynMawr,

   

  64-bit Windows supports all 16-bit applications, so you will not be able to run the MS-DOS program based on 64-bit Windows.

• Is it possible to use an old one model of printer Dell (wired) with a HP wireless laptop?

  I use a HP Pavilion with Windows 7 home laptop. I am connected to a printer wireless (Canon 3-in-1). I have to leave the city and go to my aunt's House in another city. She has no computer configuration at home, but we have wireless router so I can use my laptop.

  Can I take my old Dell printer (I used when I had a desktop computer), plug it into my laptop (I guess I should also install printer) & it use it (without him being wireless, etc.?). The ink is still viable, but it's been several months that I used it. I need to know if it would be interesting to take my old printer with me & be able to configure & use it. If so, is it possible to use a laptop (I use it wireless to my aunt) with a wired printer? And it would be difficult to implement?

  Result is, I sell stuff on Ebay this week, I have to make an emergency trip to help the family, & will probably have to lug around elements (and print shipping labels) while I'm there. I thought that it would be useful to have long-term (even a former model) printer that I can use while helping the family in another city.

  I'm sure I'm leaving out some info but if you think that you need more to answer my question, let me know... Thanks in advance.

  If I read this right, you can install your printer cable right now and test it.  Then go on your trip and just plug in the back of your computer and it will work fine.

• Is it possible to use the Satellite P200D - 11L with Windows XP

  I want to buy this model from Toshiba (P200D - 11L). Is it possible to run it with Windows XP? Because I'm not interested in Windows Vista now... thx

  Of course, it is possible to use the XP on this laptop.
  But the question is; All the XP drivers are available for this series of satellites P?

  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and, unfortunately, I didn't find the XP drivers for the series Sat P200D currently

  Well, as far as I remember the XOP drivers were unavailable for the A200 series too. But after a few days/weeks Toshiba comes to present all the XP drivers.
  I guess that this series is brand new on the market and it may need to wait a bit until all the XP drivers will be available.

  Please do not get out of patience ;)

  Best regards

• How can I fix the NTVDM. EXE Error trying to open an old DOS program?

  NTVDM. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  That is the message in the box that appears whenever I try to run my program.

  Hello

  1. what MS-DOS version do you use to run the program?

  2. it worked earlier?

  3 did you last modified the software on the computer?

  NTVDM. EXE Windows process to run legacy doc (16 BITS) process on machines of 32-BIT or 64-BIT now. NTVDM has been around for a long time, however the architecture of the operating system has changed, especially with Windows 7.

  Maybe it's that your app is trying to do something that Windows 7 simply does no more - with some changes things has changed and some applications no longer work.

  There is a "Windows XP Mode" for Windows 7 that you can download for free from Microsoft-

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx - this would allow you to run your application in what is essentially a virtual machine running Windows XP figure and thus behave as such.

  I would recommend that you take this approach and check.

  Hope this helps and keep us informed if you need help.

• How can I get my old dos programs?

  My computer would not start. only, went to a diagnostic screen.  A friend suggested to reinstall windows xp and had a drive. so I did.  Now I have windows but nothing else.  and restore does not work, I can restore to the date I install the new windows

  My computer would not start. only, went to a diagnostic screen.  A friend suggested to reinstall windows xp and had a drive. so I did.  Now I have windows but nothing else.  and restore does not work, I can restore to the date I install the new windows

  You jumped with both feet before looking down.

  Gather all your installation media (CD & DVD & download installers for stuff) and all your product key/serial number (proof of purchase and use rights) and install the applications.  Then use your last backup (this is something that you did, right?  -you have backed up your documents, photos, music, videos, favorite internet, emails, contacts, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, etc. so that if the computer was lost to you somehow, you had your stuff...?) and restore your personal affairs.

  If you do not have installers for your applications, product keys and the serial numbers for the products purchased and the backups of your files - then you are out of luck.  You have erased the hard drive of your computer and installed a clean operating system.  * Poof *.

• Run MS-DOS programs in Windows 7

  In Windows XP, I used a command mode to display my MS-DOS mode programs full screen.  The command was con passes Mode = 80 rows = 25.  This does not work in Windows 7 in XP Mode.  Instead, the display flashes and displays my programs on 1/4 of the screen.  Is it possible to make this work?

• Possible to use labview with daq system not of NOR?

  Hello

  I have a daq system and the software from another company that NEITHER. But I want some changes in the software. If the opportunity was to make a new program with Labview.

  Is it possible to use the old system of data acquisition? Is this compatible with Labview? Or I have to buy new hardware?

  Thank you.

  Hi VIassaks,

  Good afternoon and I hope that your well today.

  Thanks for the post.

  LabVIEW can communicate with 3rd party hardware using the library function call is located in the tip under the functions Palette palette. If your equipment is equipped with a DLL at the driver level LabVIEW can communicate with the hardware. However, you must obtain documentation of the DLL so that you can create your own interface for the material of the part 3.

  Another option would be if the hardware manufacturer provided LabVIEW VIs that control their material. You will not be able to use the screws (National Instruments Data Acquisition DAQ) because these screws use the DLL OR-DAQ, which is our software at the level of the driver for our DAQ cards. Other companies use their own software to the driver level to control their own material. Only the National Instruments hardware uses the NOR-DAQ driver that allows you to use LabVIEW DAQ screws.

  Hope this helps,

• ? Error: stacks overflow running an old back program

  I'm trying to run an old DOS program in Vista and XP and get this error message:

  ? Error: stack overflow

  Error code 2000

  PC = A748: 0006; SS = 4 CA 1, FP = 0006, SP IS A734
  The program used to work fine a few months ago, but now nothing.
  I tried adding "STACKS = 64, 512' config.nt and which did not help."
  Can someone help me make it work?
  Thank you

  If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
  Use the following steps:
  (1) right click on the program
  2) click Properties
  3) click on the Compatibility tab
  (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

  Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

  If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, you cannot run Windows XP mode, but you can try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other 3rd party software virtualization and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  For a program of oldest back, I saw DosBox recommended by others. I think it's a free program. You may need to do some research.

  Thank you
