  Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

  original title: VISTA VS. XP

  Your technicians say talk to HP

  Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

  You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

  I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

  Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

  Original title: problems with USB ports

  Hi Alba.

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  This issue may be caused if one of the following situations arises:

  • The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable
  • Your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with an external hard drive USB and Windows
  • Windows may be missing other problems hardware or software updates
  • Your USB controllers may have become corrupt or unstable
  • External drive can enter selective suspend
  • Your PC motherboard may need updated drivers

  I suggest to connect the USB device to a different USB port and check.

  You can run the Fixit provided in the article and the Coachman.

  In proxy environment, the computer cannot connect to the Adobe servers, so it does not work. The proxy or the firewall should be disabled if you use creative cloud.

  Hope this will help you.

  Fortunately, I have download my Canon 7 d CR2 files using Photoshop elements 11; but when I do the same thing with a Canon G7X files are not recognized.  I downloaded the latest update of Adobe for RAW files.  Advice gratefully received.

  You need Adobe raw camera 8.7 version. Unfortunately your software is earlier than the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to the universal Raw format files and Adobe will be open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the software of the camera factory)

  Download Windows (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

  Download Mac (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

  You can convert an entire folder of images raw with a single click. See this quick video tutorial:

• My event.result may or may not return a node in the xml file. How can I avoid that TypeError: Error #1009:

  My event.result may or may not return a node in the xml file. How can I avoid that TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

  I have a very simple question. I want to take the value of

  Event.Result.Item.nodeindex1.nodeindex2.Row.MyValue;

  and assign it to a text field

  mytextTi.text = event.result.item.nodeindex1.nodeindex2.row.myvalue;

  But if a part of the tree is missing, which is also valid, so I get TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

  I tried various solutions such as the following. Is there any simple way to do this?

  If (event.result.item.nodeindex1.nodeindex2.row.myvalue! = undefined)-does not work

  Unfortunately, one must test all levels to ensure that it is not null before the reference to it. You can take advantage of the short-circuit evaluation in tying together, for example

  if (event.result.item
      && event.result.item.nodeindex1
      && event.result.item.nodeindex1.nodeindex2
      && event.result.item.nodeindex1.nodeindex2.row
      && event.result.item.nodeindex1.nodeindex2.row.myvalue)
  {
      // access the variable
  }
  else
  {
      // one of the XML nodes in the path is null
  }
  

  Or you could stay away from her a little hacky and wrap the reference in a try/catch block.

  «The video add-on drive could not install: impossible to validate the license online.» How can it help me? I tried the Extension handles CC too. But no success.

  This error indicates usually that one of the following problems:

  • You are not connected to Creative CC Cloud Desktop App and/or Adobe site with the same Adobe ID modules.
  • More than one user is logged in your Adobe software on your computer using an Adobe ID different from yourself, or indeed you have more than one Adobe ID that you used to connect to and the license file is damaged.
  • You are behind a firewall that blocks our license server calls.

  Please first make sure that you are connected to the Adobe website modules (top-right) and the desktop application CC (high button on the page of good settings, preferences, account) with the correct ID. If you are, then next steps are please uninstall and reinstall the extensions, reset between Manager.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: DVD not recognized after upgrade to W10 player

  Anyone who can help me?
