Moved from my hard drive from one system to the other. Now Windows XP that was on the disc will not be activated.

Activation problem

My daughter has two old PC, which one was not being used. The hard drive has failed in the current PC, so I transferred the hard drive to another PC having failed in the spare PC. Windows XP Pro Startup OK up to the point of requiring activation but when I enter the product key of Windows XP Pro that I bought from Microsoft in 2006, does not recognize that and I think that it is because the hard drive is from another PC. Because we want to keep the old data on the old hard drive, how can I fix this problem?

Also, that the PC is at less than 7 years and we cannot afford to buy a new, the activation request happens halfway during windows startup is to early for WinXP to recognize the keyboard and mouse USB PS2 only boots off the coast of motherboard and everything in a computer repair shop gave me a PS2 keyboard on this occasion they can't do it again. Is there a solution for this because you can not buy a ps2 keyboard longer?

Thank you very much

  • Help! JavaScript works not when the object is moved from one page to the other!

    Hi all:

    I am new to Adobe Livecycle Designer (version 8.0). I created an interactive pdf form of 3 pages with many objects (text fields, radio buttons, drop-down lists, etc.), our company wants to quickly start to use.

    I'm having trouble with some of my Javascript does not not with some of my items on page 2 of the form. Specifically, there is a drop down menu to "Country" on page 2 of my form. When the user selects, for example, 'United States' in the list, I have the Javascript code that is supposed to change the 'currency' list drop-down to "Dollars" rawValue accordingly (on the change event).

    I think that my Javascript syntax is correct, but I am not sure. Here's my simple Javascript associated with the "Country" drop-down list (Note: rawValue 80 = 'United States' and 105 rawValue = "US $"):

    -


    Form1. Page1.cmbContactInfoCountry::change :-(JavaScript, client).


    If (this.rawValue == 80) {}

    cmbCurrency.rawValue = 105;

    }

    It sounds pretty simple and it WORKS when my "Country" drop-down list is moved to page 1 of the form, but it WON'T WORK when I move the combo box "Country" return to page 2 of the form (i.e. where it belongs).

    Anyone has suggestions or solutions? I spent probably 6-8 hours of racking my brain trying to figure out why it works when on a single page, but it does not work when to move to another page. I guess I can have corrupted something OR that I not address fully the proper name of the object?

    Help, please!

    Yes, it's a quirk of... in the drop-down lists when you select an item in the DOF it is not committed until you exit the field, unless you do the following:

    If (this.boundItem (xfa.event.newText) == 1) {}

    cmbCurrency.rawValue = 1;

    }

    ElseIf (this.boundItem (xfa.event.newText) == 2) {}

    cmbCurrency.rawValue = 2;

    }

    The xfa.resolveNode stuff was not necessary that both objects are of the same subform, and as such can 'see' each other.

    Think like a folder structure subforms - elements can see what is in their own folder but will say where to find things in other folders. If cmbCountry was subform1 and cmbCurrency was so in subform2 that rawValue above lines would look like:

    subform2.cmbCurrency.RawValue = 1;

    It's a good idea to name all your objects, subforms, etc. it is to work with script is much easier - so you won't have to deal with things like these pieces of xfa.resolveNode you had before (as well). He ones because you have more than one subform called "subform", the number of hooks is the Instance number (when you have several of the same object) if the program has to differentiate between the various "subform".

    The number of instance come in handy, but for things like the rows of the table and so on when you need to make calculations.

  • Windows Explorer crashes when moving from one network to the other card

    Hi people,

    Here's my problem: I suspect his cause and resolution will be very simple, but I can't find an answer until now.

    I use a laptop Windows XP SP3, joined to a domain in native mode Windows 2003.
    As is common these days, the portable computer is multihomed, with a card Intel Gigabit Ethernet and Intel combined 802.11n / Bluetooth adapter.

    My problem is this: I often need to take me off the cable to the office network and join a wireless network. This is how I can access our assets via public IP addresses to avoid NAT issues ' ing. In general, I do this simply by pulling the ethernet cable, then activation of the wireless adapter and join the required network. Note tehre is no firewall or filtering with the wireless network, and it uses NAT.

    In about 10 seconds, Windows Explorer will be locked up for about 15 seconds, then return to life. This behavior is repeated on what seems a fairly short cycle, perhaps every minute.

    While I think it could be linked to the machine looking for domain resources, the command binding adapter or similar, I was unable to make an impact on this behavior.

    If I return the config by disabling my adapter wireless and reconnect the wired adapter, everything returns to normal and performance is as expected.

    I have not tried to change binding adapter - my wireless adapter was higher than the wired NETWORK adapter already but seemed worth - no dice.
    I also tried releasing the config on the wired adapter, DNS and ARP cache flush, and then connect the wi - fi. See no difference.

    I'd love to hear any constructive suggestions how to solve this problem; attempts to use ProcMon and Wireshark for the cause were unsuccessful, but maybe I'm looking at the wrong data.

    Let me know what you might like information and I'll see if I can give him.

    Thank you

  • A way to get the Photoshop CS3 'upgrade edition' of failed hard drive? I still have the discs.

    I've been using Photoshop CS3 since it was released originally, and it is quite satisfactory for my needs. However, my system drive crashed recently, and although I have the installation disc to reinstall, the version I have is an 'upgrade' which is based on the presence of a previous version. I don't have the CD to install the previous version, wonder if anyone has any suggestions on how to get my reinstalled Photoshop. I can't really afford to buy the service cloud, and they seem to no longer support older versions.

    You must either o have the old version installed or its serial number.  Without any of them there not that you can do without the assistance of Adobe help - who will tell you that they do not support their older products.

  • UDP COMMUNICATION FROM ONE SYSTEM TO ANOTHER BY USING THE TYPE CAST

    Dear reader,

    I tried a simple communication udp from one system to the other. I have conditions of that does not change the receiver vi It is set. I'm attaching my vi sending and receiving the part. Please go through it and give me suggestion on how to code the part shipment without changing the receiving party and successffully communicating by udp.

    I am just a starter in LabVIEW.I believe your suggestions of ideas will be very useful to move forward.

    Concerning

    Srinath, R

    One thing you should know is that cast a DBL (or table DBL) requires eight bytes (or an integer multiple of 8).

    The sender must send 8 bytes, which is easier to do by remodeling (padding) of the Boolean array with 8 element (using the table to reshape) prior to cast to a string.

    Here is the code that works. You can easily implement it your original code.

  • How can I re - install Acrobat 9 Pro from a Master Collection CS4 to a new computer, but I don't want the rest of the collection? The prompt will not accept my serial number.

    I've migrated Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro from an old computer. When I try to run my adobe pdf files, the app invites me to enter a serial number. The number I have is for the CS4 Master Collection. The system will not accept this number. Anyone know what I can do in addition to re-setup of the entire collection (which I don't need)? And how to avoid having to buy a new Acrobat Pro?

    You can not migrate to the installations of the Adobe software from one system to the other, as these applications install plug-ins and various preferences and code in several locations on your system (Windows and Mac OS - and WIndows was also the question of a myriad of registry entries). You must disable it on your old system and installation of support on your new system. There is no shortcut for this. Sorry!

  • Hard drive inexplicably doubled from one day to the next

    My hard drive inexplicably doubled from one day to the next.  I now have only 3 GB free.  I did disk cleaning, defrags, uninstalls, deleted files (just 23 GB of personal files, music, etc. 99 GB drive), etc.  I downloaded TreeSize and see what the size of my files are, but don't know what is normal.  Common sense tells me that clearly something has changed the last time I used my computer to create this problem, but the only change I made was moving my personal files in my user folder to a Public folder, and then in my computer with my other laptop's network.  I checked three times, and my previous user folder files have definitely missing.  Could a bunch of file system are duplicated or something like that?  I know that I cannot delete them, but is it possible to clean them safely?

    To clean all the files on the computer

    1. Click to open Disk Cleanup.

    2. In the drives list, click the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.

    3. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click on clean up system files. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    4. In the disk cleanup: drive selection dialog box, select the drive you want to clean, and then click OK.

    5. In the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, select the check boxes for the types of files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

    6. In the message that appears, click on delete files.

      The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:

      • Programs and features. This option opens programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.

      • System Restore and shadow copies. With this option, you can remove all but the most recent point on the restore disc.

        Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

        In some editions of Windows 7, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. These files and images will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, see what is system restore?

  • Moved from Office Windows 7 from one room to the other and now it cannot find the wireless network

    Hello world

    I have a HP Pavilion running Windows 7.

    He was hooked through the ethernet in a single room.

    I moved it to another room where there was no inflexible access, so I relied on the use of our wireless network.

    Now, the computer will not even find the wireless network.  When I have the help, it says "no available connection."

    In the center of the network, selecting wireless has a red X to the left of the green signal bars.

    At first, I wondered if maybe the computer was in a "dead point" in our House, but I've put a laptop beside him and he found the thin wireless network.

    Any help?

    Update: I tried system restore and tried to stop/resume knowledge network locations, but to no avail.

    Here is the info on my card wireless directly from HP site:

    Original driver for the solutions of Dualband network Atheros 802.11 Wireless Module a/b/g/n.

    I found what I think, it's their website, (http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-drivers.php), but surprise... they only model # s, my info does not.  Ugh.

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.
