• I bought a laptop with windows 7 Home Edition and uograded professional, I want to buy a backup CD

  I bought a laptop with windows 7 family, and updated Edition upgraded to windows 7 Professional, how can I buy the Windows 7 Professional Backup CD?

  You can't (unless you want to buy it separately at full price).

  Windows 7 uses the "anytime upgrade" feature  Because Windows uses image based install now, technically you were always professional, you just had not unlocked it again by typing in the code.  If you were ever to re - install your computer, you'd be at the publishing house and just simply type the code again (Don lose it!)

  If you wish, you can create your own system image backup.  It's more than a Windows installation disc.  It is an exact replica of your entire hard drive, including all your programs and settings that you have configured. It's like a photo snapshot in time.  This gives you a CD, you can use to immediately restore your computer to the point in time where the image was taken - even all your installation and installs.

  If you want to create it, here's how:

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Choose system and security
  3. Choose the backup and restore
  4. Choose to create a system image on the left

  Hey monkeymanknitting

  1st thing is to see if it is compatible with vista

  Hi dmilten,

   

  In Windows Vista, you can get her out only 'default' and a 'default' endpoint.  Applications can play at all (and output record of any entry), but by default, they will use only 'by default' entry and exit.

  Outputs audio multiples are not supported by Windows Vista. It's normal. However, you can contact the manufacturer of the equipment for other possibilities.

  He may want to know:

  You can configure your Media Player to play a default device

  In Windows Vista, you can configure Windows Media Player to play an audio device specific.  Tools | Options | Devices | Speakers | Properties | Select the audio device you want to play.

• the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable and I don't know who to make it work again

  the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable, and I don't know who to make it work again.

  Hello

  Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
  and Forums. The key shortcut for the TouchPad, if they are responsible in the Fn + F9 or see the key card
  So usually loaded at the top of the screen.

  There is also usually a TouchPad control utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock
  at the bottom right.

  Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Toshiba downloads - access your model.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

  Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
  http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

  Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
  are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

  Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

  You can also try this:

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
  The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
  (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
  RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
  of work.

  Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
  device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
  and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  I hope this helps.

• I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer. I did a test drive of Works 9.0, and lacked features that I found.

  I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer.  On my old XP computer, I used to use Word 97 and later also used a version of works that might have been 2004 (?).  (Usually I only used word processing and Excel.)

  I took a test drive of Works 9.0, and found features that I liked were missing, specifically:

  • Previously with Word I could draw snazzy borders on the table cells, which some had graduated shading that looked almost like a real 3-d picture frame.  These borders changed to something else (rather ugly) when I took an old Word 97 and load in Works 9.0 word processing document.
  • With a table created in Word 97, it was easy to summarize a bunch of numbers that were all stacked in a column (or do other types of math).  Could not do with the Works 9.0 word processor.

  (These features were absent from Open Office as well, or at best have been tedious to use.)

  Word usually has features more and better than the works (such as those mentioned above)?

  Any suggestions on what I should use for word processing? Should not be the latest version, but should be compatible with Windows 7.

  Office 2007 and later nothing will work on Windows 7 but do not expect the full set of features in Office 97. Office 2007 and beyond have their own sets of complete functionality... :-)

  The problem is the purchase of older versions of Office. Microsoft does not provide them and you won't get one of them cheap.

  Corel has always produced WordPerfect... http://www.WordPerfect.com/us/product/Office-suite/?sso_test=true

  Free and Open Office are the alternatives...

  Transfer from one machine to the other Adobe applications will not work.  You must install using the installation files and the serial number, you have the initial purchase.  It is possible that a program as old as PSE 8 won't install/work with a new operating system.

  Acer
  If you buy your Acer system at an online retailer or a store, the policy is the same. Customers with eligible systems should go to the Acer upgrade page, where you will have gone through the process. It helps to have the serial number of your system available. He is a 22-digit number.

Customers with other models of laptop ASUS may also find the sticker at the base of their systems. The serial number will be 10 or 15 characters and be preceded by the letters "SN".

For desktop computers, the label located on the back or on the side panel. For laptops, the label located on the bottom of the system.
