  Hi, I bought a PC with Windows 7 pre-installed, refurbished but the case has a product key for Windows 2000, because he's company ex machine that has been upgraded. I installed a new hard drive and to keep my files, I copied all of the old disk to the new including the operating system.

• I want to install windows 7 arc gamer edition. I m using the new copy to install from dvd, it goes well until the installation of the updates, but installation ends, it displays error windows could not update

  I have windows 7 ultimate works correctly. I want to install windows 7 arc gamer edition. I m using the new copy to install from dvd, he is well until the installation of the updates but the installation finished, it displays error windows could not update the configuration to start the computer.  not installing and it rolls supports everything. Please help me solve this problem

  original title: windows 7 gamer edition

  Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

  Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

  You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

• Problem installing LAN USB adapter in a new copy of windows 2000

  After having reformatted my hard drive and install a new copy of window 2000, I'm having a problem installing device drivers.  When I enter the correct inf file path, it reports that this window has not found a driver for the device.  Whithout the possibility to connect to internet, I have exhausted all my options and still need to install several other drivers with the same problem.  help help help help

  Everything you try to use (you do not give the brand / model of the LAN USB adapter) made drivers for Windows 2000?

• tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home. Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "blue-screen" appeared during the installation of the drivers.

  Installation of xp and blue screen of death

  Hello

  I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

  Then, tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home.  Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "Blue Screen of death" appeared during the installation of the drivers. Restarted and installing XP as normal to repeat the first onboard staged and went to the "blue screen" at the same point as before.

  Using some diagnostic software, I reformatted the drive again, loaded XP set up and I had the same problem.

  Someone knows what to do?

  Thank you allionii123

  Now solved and pc with Windows XP home.

  Discovered a trick online, who said that at the beginning of XP installation, press F5, and this leads to a screen option - select 'standard pc' and continue with the installation of XP.

  (Again), formatted hard drive ran XP installation and followed above point.

  Worked the first time.

  Thank you very much for your advice.

  I think you can pressing F5 or F7...

  How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

  Impose a HAL

  To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

  1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:
     Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

     Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

  I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

  Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.

• Need to download & install a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit for strongly modified pc OEM

  Original of the hard drive has crashed, please download & install a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on new SSD. I updated day/has replaced most of the OEM parts to 4 + years except for the motherboard, power supply, & tour. I don't have the old parts, sort of recovery disk installs not successfully because of all the improvements. Have drivers for devices newer than all existing parts on a USB ready when necessary. OEM is telling me to go up the PC with its original components to make it work, and I really don't need all the unnecessary software OEM includes in their recovery disk. Microsoft Download site does not allow me to download from a pc OEM product key. How to solve this? I'm always in the respect of the Windows license agreement, so I don't have to pay for it.  Please advise, thank you

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. 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:

• Windows 8 reset has not installed a new copy of windows - PC encountered a problem :(

  I use the computer laptop hp pavilion with windows 8 pre-installed top when I bought the laptop. It was working fine until 2 weeks ago when I tried to update windows 8.1. All other updates for windows 8 have already been installed. After installing windows 8.1, the screen started to Flash and flicker. I didn't know what was the problem in spite of the fact that I tried to search and find out if everyone knew the same problem. Anyway I tried to update my PC to return to windows 8, and when I did, I started having this bug saying something like:

  Your PC ran into a problem, he needs to restart. We will collect some data, then we will restart for you.
  And then the PC restarts. I was frustrated by the presence of mistake over and over again. Then I copied all my data on external hard drive and decided to put my windows to get a new copy of windows 8 is installed. But he also didn't work. After the reset, I noticed that it wasn't a "Reinstall" clean at all. My desktop wallpaper has been same, my home page was even - he remembered my preferences. And once again! I'm having the same error as mentioned above, very often. Its very frustrating and I'm getting very excited now and I don't know what else I can try. Please help me someone...

  Thanks for the reply of Mr. Martin.

  Well, before you try the method that tells you, I used the HP Recovery Manager tool to reset my windows and the software to its factory settings and fortunately it worked. It reset my laptop with its settings from the factory with all the removed disk partitions, but of course, I made a backup of all my data. Its job well now for windows 8.

  Thanks again for your support.

• Purchase of a new copy of windows... that which?

  I'm going to buy a new copy of windows vista64, for new construction, what is the difference between "retail" and "system builders", copy?

  (other than a price of $120 diff.) ??

  Clodzilla, here's my view on this issue.  If you buy the OEM of Vista version, you will get probably better support for forums like this that you would Ms.  In addition, you will find 99% of responses to problems on their Web site.  So, if I were you, I'd take a chance on the OEM version.  It will help you to add improved components to your stature.

• Can I download a copy of Windows XP and allows to activate my product license

  I have a Dell Precision 380 opportunity with Windows XP Professional, which was already installed. I have produced key but no disc and can not get windows to run right or internet page explore wants same load. I can download a copy of Windows XP and allows to activate my product license (I need to read the original CD and not any copy)?  If not, can I use to reinstall an authentic copy of Windows XP (since I was a valid product license) without having to buy a new version of Windows?

  No, it is not downloadable.
  The person who gave you the PC should have provided the disk. Otherwise, you're out of luck, unless you know somone who has the same version of the OEM Dell software that you can borrow.
