Networked computers one XP the other Vista
I have networked my desktop running XP and my laptop which is running Vista. Microsoft wants to install KB973768 update of security on the XP desktop. If I try to install it, the update fails. How can I get rid of him?
Hello Pat on the head.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!
What version of XP are you running? This update for XP Media Center edition, so if you are not running this version, then you can hide the message to download it. Let us know which version you are using, and that the exact error message you get when you try to download and install it.
If you want to hide the notification to install this update. The second method would be to hide the update.
Go to the Windows Update Web site > select CUSTOM and allow analysis to complete > uncheck / unselect, update the driver, and then 'hide' ("do not show me this update").
Try these steps and let us know if it works.
Thank you

my mother has two computers that are running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other. We network cables and such can I connect the on computers and share information from one to the other?
Hello
To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
These are special cables, but they are not expensive.(You can configure a network or a host group (see below))

Change the system drive
I'll try to explain my situation better than I can.
My situation is that when I used to have XP installed, I had installed the only drive I had back then which is now the drive D, for a long time, so I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit installed on two different discs, Vista is installed on drive C and 7 is installed on drive E , but I don't have XP that I had managed to get rid of it.
My problem is that the drive on which Windows XP to reside has always left this disc marked as system in the disk management window, and I was wondering how to do that one of the other readers who has Vista or 7 that the new system?
I already managed to change the startup disk from drive where Vista is installed to, it's just that I need to change the disk that is marked as system to another drive, such as D drive begins to show signs that it comes at the end of his life and I would like to move the startup folder as well as the other files needed to start on the other.
I assume that you installed Windows XP 1, then Vista, 7 (these 2 OS not in order)?
And Vista and 7 was by all means upgrade installation?
Since originally, that you have installed Windows XP on drive D, it should be marked as 'system' and retains so the tag 'system '.
The volume of the 'system' should be identified as the first primary partition active. It may or may not have the files it contains.
The fact that the system considers "system drive" does not mean that there are files that it contains.
Now, you want to delete the existing volume and create a new volume. Needs to be done outside the facility.
When you start the cd or DVD to start the installation list us readers, if you remove the volume the volume drive letter is already booked, so you get the next available drive letter, do not re-use the deleted volume drive letter.If he removed during installation and then recreated as a new volume (formatting does not remove the volume, you need to delete the volume and recreate it)

Try to format the XP partition and change the drive letter.

Hi I would like th different creative cloud buy 2, only photoshop/lightroom one and the other with all pack.is it is possible because I saw that we can only install on 2 different computers at the same time
Creative desktop cloud applications can be downloaded and installed on multiple computers, regardless of the operating system. However, the activation is limited to two machines per individual related to the composition, and you may not use the software on these devices simultaneously.
You can also see:
FAQ: Can I install Creative Cloud on several computers?
You can either sign of Creative cloud on a computer to connect to another, or as you said, buy a membership second using an AdobeID different so that you can leave, signed at on 4 computers.

I have only 2 computers, a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Yet, every time I switch from one to the other, I get a message that I am already connected to TWO. It's impossible because I only have 2 and it is not connected. Any suggestions on fixing that?
Hi Kelly,
Maximum machines, the license can be activated is 2. Somehow, it seems that on your side the same license can be activated on any 3rd machine as well.
Activating the license on any other machine, please select the option to disconnect all other devices and try again.
Reference: connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications (deactivated)
Kind regards

When running FF for awhile, it starts to jump between different tabs I have open without clicking anything whatsoever. Also, it will sometimes appear that another copy of the same tab I have open try to open again at the top of page. The address bar that appears at the bottom of page loading will appear one above the other and the page will jump up and down about a 1/8th of an inch. Out of the enclosure, then by restarting FF does not solve the problem. I have to restart the computer and then restart FF for him to quit.
I changed to Chrome and it doesn't, but I prefer the FF browser so I can get this fixed number.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/safe+mode
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

I have two accounts in Apple Mail. Mailed to some documents from one to the other. When I received the email, it had been sent to about 30 people from my Contacts. How could it happen? I have never create a distribution list. MBP OS 10.11.4
Open the "sent" folder on the account that you mailed to and look at the message that you sent it to see.
You have email of the accident to a group? You have a group created in the application of Contact with these names? Or maybe that you click on reply to all to create the message?

When I open a web page, and sometimes between the two, something launches a 'warning' that the "secure connection failed". I've added nothing to Firefox, but I stopped most of the security plug-ins or extension nothing helps. It wouldn't be too bad if it happened a page once or twice but I'm talking 10,15,20 one after the other.

A video on any website is presented in double, one on the other!
Every time I want to see a video, any site, it is case, the screen, the video is on, shows two images from the video. Basically, the video is condensed into two, one above the other, making them wider, but I don't know why he show two!
This appears to have happened after the last update of Adobe Flash Player. Could be a compatibility issue with Firefox, because the problem does not appear in Internet Explorer. Have not yet tried all other browsers.
For me, it seems that the two images that appear are similar to those used in the manufacture of 3D movies, but instead view overlap them, they are displayed separately. It's just a wild guess and I have no evidence to back this up.
PS: I also use Firefox 3.6.13 Windows XP.
Later edit: I found a work around for this problem. Right-click on any incorrect display video and choose settings. On one of the tabs found there is a checkbox "enable hardware acceleration". It has been activated for me, after having stopped it and restart the video browser was back to normal.

Satellite A100-411: one or the other DVDs cannot be recognized
Hello
I work with my new Toshiba a100 411 since the end of February here at I m happy w / my choice.
The only point is that I found that one or the other DVD cannot be recognized by the Pioneer K17A.
Need me possibly new drivers?
Thks in advance for yr help.
JürgenHello
Hmm I n t think so.
As far as I know that these drives support not all CD or DVD and it s nothing unusual that one or the other DVD may not be recognized correctly.Sometimes a firmware update could allow the reader to recognize more kind of CD and DVD, but on the other hand, no one can say that this update might help.

I would like to receive a notification on my Apple Watch and iPhone simultaneously the messages/IM; not one or the other.
I understand that if my Apple Watch is unlocked (or on my wrist) incoming Message notifications will be displayed on my watch. This allows to bypass the notification on my iPhone for messages. I would like to find a way for Message notifications to simultaneously alert me on my iPhone and Apple Watch.
Thoughts?
Hello
If you disable the detection of wrist (on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist detection), it will make all notification alerts to be delivered to both devices. However, you will not be able to benefit from features including screen Wake on wrist lift, Apple pay and one unblock after placing the watch on your wrist.
If you want Apple to consider adding an option for notification alerts to be delivered for both devices regardless of the other settings, you can suggest here:

It's a shame
Secondary, it's a great way to call subVIs and you load only code when you call it, so it ease your use of resources.
Anyway, you can call Vi as pop up:
