Can I switch from Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit, without doing a clean AND is there a significant advantage in doing this please?

No, you can't... 32 and 64-bit are different platforms...
 
The main advantage is that more than 3 GB of RAM can be seen and used by Windows...

    You buy your domain name separately as Adobe doesn't sell domain names. You then have the choice to host with which you got your domain to prevent or Business Catalyst. But yes, the two would be paid separately. Your GoDaddy (if that's where you got your domain name) can have a packed in accommodation with the domain name. You may experience some problems with certain features of Muse as forms hosting on GoDaddy, however.

  • The upgrade of vista activation window

    I have a HP computer I bought several years of 'NEW '.  She had the window XP by HP with a key code on the side of the computer for XP.  Later, I've updated with windows vista, which was more stable and safer.   My computer is turned off and I couldn't have managed to restart.  First, I tried the vista upgrade disc and he told me that I had to use the original windows XP to perform a recovery.  Since the windows XP has been installed by HP I had to use the original recovery discs, I did when I first bought the computer.  Then I had to reinstall the upgrade to vista.  Now to my problem: I tried to activate the vista, but since it was installed by HP there is no activation wizzard, so I used the prompt "Activate now" and he asked that I enter the code I did and he said I have used the original key not upgrade code code.  So, I am entered in the key for the windows XP code he would accept either this key code.  I called the Microsoft Support Center and tried to get help.  Finally, I need to talk to a technical support and he said that I'd give it an activation number that is indicated in the "Activation Wizzard" which I told her that I don't have the "Wizzard" because it was installed by HP.  He said he couldn't help me and hung up on me immediately.  Then, I called HP to see if they could help me get the activation number that Microsoft wanted to.  They said that my computer was more guaranteed and could not help me, but could give me to another group of service that would charge me aqpproximately $60 to help me.  I told him everything I needed was the GOOD key code for the window they've installed on my XP computer or tell me how to enter into the computer to confirm that the key code, they gave me was correct or not.  He asked for forgiveness, but my computer was out of warranty.  I bought two operating systems of windows for this computer and have two key codes and neither one of them can be activated.  The key encoded on the computer is provided by Microsoft and key coded on the Vista upgrade is provided by Microsoft, so why can't the operating system activated by Microsoft.  For both companies CUSTOMER SERVICE leaves much to be desired.  I have spent a lot of time getting this system to the top and re - install the other software that I had to go through all of the upgrade again.  I don't want to not all over again if I don't get the Windows operating system that is activated before the end of the time and the system shuts down again.

    Hello

    It seems that the Windows Vista product key has been blocked, so you may need a new product key.

    You can keep your Windows Vista DVD at hand & contact Microsoft Product Activation Center for assistance.

    Hi sanjeevkode,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.  As the question you posted typically associated with third party software / application that has its own way of program codes and call the corresponding system resources when installing and running. Therefore, I also suggest you to join the VMware Forums for the best support.

    VMware communities: http://communities.vmware.com/home.jspa

    In the meantime I suggest you try these options / methods

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Microsoft provides this information as a convenience to you. Proposed changes could lead to serious problems. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems would be solved as a result of the suggestions. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Option 1: If you go to computer management, and then to the list of Services and find the VMware authorization Service, it appears as stopped? If so, you need to start

    Option 2: Try logging on as an administrator Local host during installation first workstation, rather than you connect with a domain ID

    Option 3: The question can be caused also by your security program such an antivirus or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must enable security programs new that had disabled you

    Option 4: The problem could be linked to a local or domain group policy. Make sure that the local account is defined as 'local user __vmware_user__' in the local Administrators group and the permissions of "Log on locally" and "Log on as a service.

    The two parameters are available in the "* Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment *" branch of domain group policy or local.

    Let me know if it worked.
    Hope it will be useful.

  • Windows Defender who need more information about certain files?

    Hello - I just receive a windows defender popup after a game of Battlefield 2, requesting more information about 2 files that are used by punkbuster - w resident c:\windows\system32\drivers\pnkbstrk.sys in the folder system32\drivers and pnkbstrb.exe in the system32 folder.

    It seems that anti-malware apps are prone to detect falsely as a virus because of the way they work, and when I scan them with my other anti-virus/anti-malware tools they find nothing wrong - but when I checked the windows Defender directly, I noticed there are several guests in a history dating back to early November, saying "this program has undesirable behaviors."

    I wonder if it is normal to get this fast - I'm using Vista for several years now and this is the first time I ever saw him, it is a legitimate part of Windows Defender? the prompt has been along the lines of "Microsoft needs more information about this software These files can help Microsoft improve the effectiveness of Windows Defender to help protect your system. If you do not want to send a file deactivate the checkbox next to it. "Followed by w c:\windows\system32\drivers\pnkbstrk.sys, then another with pnkbstrb.exe.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    All this is normal. There has been releases of versions of malware to these files if Windows Defender
    is to ensure that those of your system are legitimate.

    Games is particularly known for the possibility of introducing malware so most antivirus/antispyware/security
    programs check these viligently. Added that often a developer (game) will change something it then
    causes a part of their program to be detected as malware. It works in two ways, the detection program
    changes in its methods and/or the detected program has changed and is causing a false positive.

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

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.
