• my new computer with windows 8 will not print my pdf files, print everything well.

  I have a new computer HP running windows 8. my printer works fine except when I want to print a pdf file. If I install the printer drivers, it erases all my Outlook folders.
   
  I'm so close pitch on this windows 8.

  Got it to work.  I discovered that the updates have been downloaded, but the computer needed to restart to get them set up.  PDF does not open until this happened.  By chance, I noticed a message that says my computer will re-start in two days to config updates.  I chose restart and it took 40 minutes for an update installation and config.  Fingers crossed I checked my pdf and they ran.  problem solved.

• How to install Win7 on new hard drive and still access all the files from the hard drives of previous Vista?

  I currently have a Windows Vista PC. It has two SATA drives, one with the operating system, the one I use for storage.

  I want to buy a new SATA hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 top.

  I want to know the steps to follow to do this. My plan is this:

  1. turn the pc power off and open the case.

  2. remove the old hard disks

  3. plug the new empty hard drive

  4. turn on the pc and the insertion of the disc to install to Win7 for DVD-ROM drive

  5. enter in the bios and put the DVD-ROM as first boot device

  6. install win 7 on new hard drive.

  Is this correct?

  Because my next question is important:

  7. Turning off the computer.

  8 reconnect the two old hard drives. New total number of SATA drives connected = three.

  Now when I restart the PC and login to Win 7, it lists two other drives as, for example, D:\ and E:\ readers?

  How can I make this work?

  Thank you very much!

  Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to dual boot. I just want to have the hard drive as the master drive Windows7 and the old two drives as slaves, where I can access files as the pictures and letters.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Well, I would disconnect all drives hard current interns, then connect the new hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, re - attach the old readers as slaves and copy all the data you need to on the disc of Windows 7.

• Purchase of a new copy of windows... that which?

  I'm going to buy a new copy of windows vista64, for new construction, what is the difference between "retail" and "system builders", copy?

  (other than a price of $120 diff.) ??

  Clodzilla, here's my view on this issue.  If you buy the OEM of Vista version, you will get probably better support for forums like this that you would Ms.  In addition, you will find 99% of responses to problems on their Web site.  So, if I were you, I'd take a chance on the OEM version.  It will help you to add improved components to your stature.

• Windows 8 reset has not installed a new copy of windows - PC encountered a problem :(

  I use the computer laptop hp pavilion with windows 8 pre-installed top when I bought the laptop. It was working fine until 2 weeks ago when I tried to update windows 8.1. All other updates for windows 8 have already been installed. After installing windows 8.1, the screen started to Flash and flicker. I didn't know what was the problem in spite of the fact that I tried to search and find out if everyone knew the same problem. Anyway I tried to update my PC to return to windows 8, and when I did, I started having this bug saying something like:

  Your PC ran into a problem, he needs to restart. We will collect some data, then we will restart for you.
  And then the PC restarts. I was frustrated by the presence of mistake over and over again. Then I copied all my data on external hard drive and decided to put my windows to get a new copy of windows 8 is installed. But he also didn't work. After the reset, I noticed that it wasn't a "Reinstall" clean at all. My desktop wallpaper has been same, my home page was even - he remembered my preferences. And once again! I'm having the same error as mentioned above, very often. Its very frustrating and I'm getting very excited now and I don't know what else I can try. Please help me someone...

  Thanks for the reply of Mr. Martin.

  Well, before you try the method that tells you, I used the HP Recovery Manager tool to reset my windows and the software to its factory settings and fortunately it worked. It reset my laptop with its settings from the factory with all the removed disk partitions, but of course, I made a backup of all my data. Its job well now for windows 8.

  Thanks again for your support.

  Installation of xp and blue screen of death

  Hello

  I recently formatted the partition boot and recovery of a laptop Medion2230, then merged the two partitions in a single NTFS partition.  Don't ask why, it's a long story.

  Then, tried to install a new copy of Windows XP Home.  Everything is OK until the final phase, when the "Blue Screen of death" appeared during the installation of the drivers. Restarted and installing XP as normal to repeat the first onboard staged and went to the "blue screen" at the same point as before.

  Using some diagnostic software, I reformatted the drive again, loaded XP set up and I had the same problem.

  Someone knows what to do?

  Thank you allionii123

  Now solved and pc with Windows XP home.

  Discovered a trick online, who said that at the beginning of XP installation, press F5, and this leads to a screen option - select 'standard pc' and continue with the installation of XP.

  (Again), formatted hard drive ran XP installation and followed above point.

  Worked the first time.

  Thank you very much for your advice.

  How to impose a layer of HAL during an upgrade or an installation of Windows XP

  Impose a HAL

  To prevent Windows XP to automatically determine the system HAL during the upgrade or installation of Windows XP, you can manually force in a system HAL. To impose an Abstraction Layer HAL during a upgrade or installation of Windows XP, follow these steps:

  1. During the phase in text mode of Setup, when you receive the message at the bottom of the screen, press F5:
     Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver.

     Note If you press F7, the Standard PC HAL loads and the ACPI enforcement is bypassed.

  I would not need this except in the systems of many older and low end... :-(  After all, in the same article, for Standard PC they say: "the CPU can be a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium II, or Pentium III '...

  Thanks for letting us know what you were doing.  Do you have all the necessary drivers after loading Windows XP?  I would not recommend using the default drivers for any hardware - always see what the manufacturer offers on their web page for each component of your system - card motherboard chipset, audio, video, network devices, etc.

• Need to download & install a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit for strongly modified pc OEM

  Original of the hard drive has crashed, please download & install a new copy of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on new SSD. I updated day/has replaced most of the OEM parts to 4 + years except for the motherboard, power supply, & tour. I don't have the old parts, sort of recovery disk installs not successfully because of all the improvements. Have drivers for devices newer than all existing parts on a USB ready when necessary. OEM is telling me to go up the PC with its original components to make it work, and I really don't need all the unnecessary software OEM includes in their recovery disk. Microsoft Download site does not allow me to download from a pc OEM product key. How to solve this? I'm always in the respect of the Windows license agreement, so I don't have to pay for it.  Please advise, thank you
