leaving unwanted pc to a newer pc xp?

Hi I have a valid copy of xp on a computer that no longer works.  I would like to save this copy on a replacement computer.  How to achieve this?  I have not been able to find a phone number to Microsoft to communicate with them. Any advice?

If you bought a copy of Windows XP retail in a shop, you can uninstall Windows XP from the old computer and use the installation disc to install Windows XP on a replacement computer.

If you have an installation disc provided with the old computer, it is connected to this computer and can not be installed on anlother one.

It is not possible to move Windows XP directly from one computer to another.

  • New iPad Pro - implement Q

    I have a new IPad Pro and I backup my old ipad on the cloud, but there are a lot of pictures there that I don't want on the new. How do I just get paid for applications and the things I want on the new ipad?

    The backup is virtually all or nothing. The only way to choose what to back up is if you were to delete unwanted photos out of your old device, then back up, and then restore your other from the newly formed backup.

    Or you can simply find out that you need to remove unwanted things on your new device.

  • Why disable common features and hide completely to use a new version of firefox

    When a new version of Firefox comes out the end, all to often when there new features or a programmer has a different idea of what they like from the previous version, the features are enabled by default and things are rearranged without any choice by the user. A concrete example is that when I installed Firefox 24 on my wife's computer he disabled the menu bar and put the tabs on top. To add insult to injury, there is no settings option to put the hind below! I do not how much someone loves the tabs on the top, the right way to handle these kinds of feature upgrades is to leave everything as it was in terms of parameters and display a web page that contains a button that says what each change with a Yes and no button so that the user can try if they want TO or not , and not just say (effectively) "we are the Lords and ask you to use this and we know better. If this method is too difficult then just don't change the settings and leave a page "what's new". I know it is free SW and contribute many dedicated, but to do your darnedest to confuse or annoy your users is not the way to do it. Imagine if you took your car to have a new mounted radio and when you got the brake pedal was in the backseat and the guy said "we like better that way.

    BTW, to have the tabs just above the web pages you are watching way makes more sense to have the 3 lines now.

    Hello

    Most people answer on the support forum is volunteers of Mozilla (including me) so we are not able to comment on that kind of decision. We are not involved in choosing how new versions are gone.

    The best place to make a comeback would be this page:

    If you want to make Firefox v24 v3 looks like, then you can use a theme such as Firefox 3 theme.

  • Avoiding the new line, import csv

    Hi friends,

    Importing csv into a temporary table file, stored in csv is divided into two rows due to "an undesirable character" or the new line.

    Here is the example when I copy the unique line of csv, and while the display becomes two lines in Notepad.

    ' 70555129360 ',' December 10, 2014 23:51:34 ","11 December 14"," Tag #: 4708511.

    Sharjah - 50253 2', 'Al Barsha', 'Abu Dhabi', '0.00 '.

    You can find the unwanted character or a new line in the image. No way to avoid this, importing temporary table or can we adhere as data records.

    Select * from test where instr(test_value,'"',1,1) = 1;

    Select * from test instr(test_value,'"',1,1) <>1;

    Finally, we can reach above two sets with the first line of the first query with the first line with the second query. your suggestion pls.

    use utl_file.get_line (in_file, lineread);

    in_file utl_file.file_type;

    lineread varchar2 (4000);

    Thank you.upload1.bmp

    Actually, I had an idea like, given that the single line divides into two lines in the table.

    I'll do three temporary table for some data.

    ' 70555129360 ',' December 10, 2014 23:51:34 ","11 December 14"," Tag #: 4708511.

    Sharjah - 50253 2', 'Al Barsha', 'Abu Dhabi', '0.00 '.

    1. first one like that with the column one id.

    Select * from test where instr(test_value,'"',1,1) = 1;

    Id test_value
    1 "raju, mohan.
    2 "like, dikes.
    3 "play, while".
    4 "all right, mine.

    2. the second one like this with one ID column

    Select * from test instr(test_value,'"',1,1) <> 1.

    id test_value
    1 rain, rain ".
    2 chain, wain.
    3 Why not ".
    4 "all, well done.

    and finally

    3. third from combine records where id matches.

  • Bad video card - last ditch effort

    Hello

    I'm 99% sure this is my video card that is causing this problem.

    Started a few days ago the screen filled with red pixels randomly, it could get worse over the next few minutes, and then the computer was completely insensitive - had stopped the clock and the mouse does not work yet.  I was able to ssh from my laptop, but cannot open applications and reboot via ssh wouldn't work, had to hard - reboot.  After having let it sit for awhile, it seemed better, I was hoping it was a stroke of luck.  Just right tonight (a few days since the accident of 1), he began acting again... bad.  I tried to run the Apple Hardware Test, he could not even done that - she's blocked (at the forefront in the screenshot), the mouse still worked, but even after half an hour, neither the time nor progress bar update.

    I have a NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, I'm not sure that is because apparently they only give information on the card itself.  I know that it was very expensive.  Tomorrow I'll try cleaning all the contacts on the map and the location of the motherboard.  Beyond that, all I can think to do is to buy a new video card.  Is it possible to fix a video card, or is it simply not feasible?  I can also try to put it in another location, to see if that solves (which would indicate that the problem is on the motherboard, rather than the map, but I doubt that will solve it).

    I removed the video card all together, the system is not is more locked up (so far), I am able to use via my MacBook screen sharing, and everything seems good function... which pretty much confirms for me, it's the video card (or slot) that's the problem.

    Does anyone have suggestions until I leave shell $500 on a new video card?  This expenditure could not have come at a worse time...

    I don't think I need anything too serious for a video card, I use Final Cut Pro.  I installed also just Apple Motion (literally, one day before all this crap started to happen, it seems strange that it could be related, but the time is quite a coincidence), and I join with two dual-link DVI ports.  I'd be curious to know if anyone has recommendations what video card to buy.

    Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts.

  • Why do export cover research book, it only does the titles?

    I need to transfer my address book from one computer to another, the two v38.2.0 of Thunderbird running. I go to the address book and tools > export. It only gives me the possibility of the fields to export. Any other file type I use (.csv, etc.) that it exports only the file headers, not the names and e-mail addresses. Looking at the Mozilla support forum looks like it worked OK in the past for other people. Is this a new problem with this version of Thunderbird, or is there something else I should have done before attempting to export? I tried editing > select all, but it was no help either. I don't want to type more than 100 names and emails!

    You choose an address book or leave you on the all new books?

  • HP Compaq 8510w - wifi problem

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP Compaq 8510w running on W8.1.

    On the support site, I can't download drivers for W8.1, but the laptop is too good and too quick to replace.

    However, I constantly loose connection wifi. Device Manager contains the following description of the device:

    Intel (R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

    • This could be a driver problem or is this a hardware problem?
    • If it is a hardware problem, you can easily replace the wifi component?

    Thanks in advance,

    SJW

    P.S. when I leave W8.1 get a new driver in Device Manager, it says that the driver is up-to-date.

    Hello:

    You can try the drivers on the link below to W8.1 and see if that helps...
