I have a full adobe cc subscription and I finished my site on Muse.
For the domain name, it's free with the full subscription? Or he saves on Godady?
Then for hosting...
I still have to pay? or it is included in the full adobe cc membership?
Thank youYou 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.

I need to uninstall I-Tunes before the upgrade to Windows 7 and I'm afraid that I do; lose any music library? I'll be able to download I Tunes and recover my music library >?
original title: Windows 7 upgrade from VISTA?Hi Jrawie,
If you want to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7, you won't lose iTunes music library. However, there is a chance of losing the music of iTunes library if you choose custom installation.
You can see the Microsoft article for more information on the upgrade:

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.
Hope the helps of information.

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.Thank you and best regards,

Hello
see if this program helps you to determine what is take up space
http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_personal/
by default system restore will have up to 15% of the capacity of the hard disk
you would like to reduce this amount
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76227-system-restore-disk-space.html
http://www.vista4beginners.com/system-restore-space-used
also use disk cleanup
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup
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. Open 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. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

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-downloadAvast 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#TAB4Or 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.aspAlso 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.

I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.
Hello
OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.
An OEM license is not transferable.
And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.
There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...
You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
See you soon.

I have a 32-bit system and running windows Vista Home Basic and I was trying to upgrade to vista ultimate and the system crashed and now I am unable to update to vista or install no matter what program it gives me an error 1935 and a file association error
Hello
Run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
read the below tutorial on how to perform a repair installation
