Is it possible to install on two different computers? If Yes, how is it possible to install via the Internet, like my Macbook Pro doesn't have CD Driver. Thank you very much for your support. Hope.

  Hello

  You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers, as long as you don't use it on one at a time.

  To load the software on another computer, download and install it as you did on the first computer. Then enter your serial number to activate it.

• Changing to a new computer from vista to windows 7. My file transfer and deletion of personal information, including files from my old computer for security reasons

  I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.

  Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?

  I would appreciate any advice, thanks

  Several options;

  (1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data

  Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside

  (2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer

  Old PC;

  The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings

  McAfee

  Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key

  New PC

  Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.

• I backed up my old computer, how do I install the backup on the new computer? The two Windows 7

  How do you install the back upward from my old computer to my new computer?

  I guess you're running Vista.

  As for your 2nd question about the updates of Windows - Win 7 If you run Norton, you might have a problem. It can accept updates for Vista, but when you upgrade to Windows 7 it does not updates allow.

• New computer w/Vista

  I think I'm probably doomed!  I got a new computer w/64 vista and an old Palm Pilot that I can't go to work.  I also have a XP computer, therefore need to beable to synchronize both if possible?

  I downloaded everything I can find on Palm.  I have bluetooth, but it is impossible to find a way to make my pocket computer use it?

  Any suggestions

  The only way to synchronize with Vista 64 bit is wireless using Bluetooth or infrared. The M130 not having no Bluetooth, you can synchronize only via IR if your PC doesn't not have an IR port, you will need to purchse an infrared adapter which is Vista64 bit compatible.

  Click on the following link for the Web page of kb.palm.com for the article about infrared (IR) synchronization

• Whenever the computer is started, two different styles of start menu appear on the screen, divided vertically from left to right.

  Original title: is this monitor or windows?

  This condition began while I was running xp sp 3.

  I worked in google earth at the time.

  I don't remember exactly what happened.

  But now, every time I start windows, two different styles of the start menu

  appear on the screen, divided vertically from left to right.

  The menu on the right can only be extended to about half of the control panel to the left.

  The menu on the left can grow to the right once the right image has been reduced.

  I tried to reset the start menu in the program settings without success.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  I hope that I was clear enough with this info.

  The article you referred to seems to apply to vista and windows 7.

  How ever, before I received your reply I had already solved the problem myself"

• When you try to find the IP address of my computer, I see two different results with two different numbers. Which is accurate?

  original title: a different output for ping - an IP address

  I am trying to determine the name of the computer to an IP address

  When I open a command prompt in a computer (Windows XP connected to our domain) and type ping - a [IP address], I get a result

  When I open a command prompt in another computer (Windows Server 2008 connected to the WORKING group) and type ping - a [IP address], I get a different result

  And there are other times when ping - [IP address] will display the name of the computer on a computer (usually the Windows Server 2008), but not the other

  I tried to google

  1. why this happens

  2. what result is correct

  Please specify.

  The order of DNS in Windows name resolution is as follows:

  1. Name of the local host (file Hosts Local generally in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)
  2. Cache Client DNS resolution
  3. DNS server
  4. Cache of NetBIOS names
  5. WINS server
  6. NetBIOS broadcasts
  7. File LMHosts (same location as the HOSTS file)

  The reason you get different results could be because machines could be on different subnets (different results for broadcast), using a different DNS server machines or are configured for different WINS servers, or the names are already cached because of prior activity.
