I couldn't fix it with system restore. I had just downloaded an external hardrive but when I copied the files on the drive f my had told me that they were corrupt, so I reformatted the drive. How to get back my computer from an external hard drive. Also why Windows doesn't allow me to update my Avast with the paid version?

Hello

    Yes, you are allowed to install on different machines.  Your license allows installation enabled on both machines, so you should be able to install new machines without any problem.  Also, you can contact the Adobe Support via chat and have them reset your activations so that you keep additional activation which is currently moored to the aircraft crashed.

  • Recently installed vista update. I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.

    Recently installed vista update.  I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.  I get a message that says 'wireless link failed because windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.  I troubleshott he said of computing could be from low signal strength and yet it shows the strength of 100%.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

    In general.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • After a clean install of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, dvd will play not [scrambled] and computer is crashes sometimes and I have to force the reboot.

    I have windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, which has totally collapsed.  By mistake, I installed my operating system 32-bit vista on it.  I bought a new windows 7 Home premium operating system and installed.  I did a clean install after formatting the hard drive [the did twice].  Now dvd will play not [scrambled] and computer is crashes sometimes and I have to force the reboot.  I saw the reference to System 32 on restart options.  Help?

    Have you installed Windows 7 device drivers for your make and model. If this is not the case, then go to the support web site factory and download Windows 7 drivers to a folder on your PC and then first install the drivers for the card mother/chipset, followed by USB, SATA, LAN, Audio and all other pilots.

    Find the website of your computer manufacturer support.

    How do you know if you have a 32 bit or bit 6 vrsion of Windows installed:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/827218

    BIOS updates: you should check to see if there was one, or sometimes several updates BIOS for the motherboard. Read (if provided) which solves the update. Sometimes a newer BIOS update will fix the problem. Read the instructions on how to your BIOS update/flash very carefully and be more you understand the process. There is a risk of a bad flash/update occurs which can make your system unbootable.

    Also check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

  • I have a new desktop computer HP with Vista Home Premium 64-bit, with 8 GB RAM and when I try to start Zoo Tycoon 2, he won't play, said that I have no memory system.

    I have a new desktop computer HP with Vista Home Premium 64 - bit, with 8 GB of RAM, and when I try to run Zoo Tycoon 2, I get the following error message:

    You need at least 256 MB of system memory to run Zoo Tycoon 2. (0Mo detected)

    Y at - it a patch? I have read many "Workaround" and none of them work. I tried to run in Windows XP compatibility mode and it didn't work.

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
     
    In addition, change the size of virtual memory and see that helps. For more information, see:

    There is info in the above link to what you are talking about the comments.
    It would seem that install is the bestway out of it.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    Or borrow a good DVD (not Dell, HP, etc.) Vista.
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
