  Hello

  1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

  2. what version of Windows are you using?

  I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.

  Method 1: SFC scan run on the computer to ensure that the system files are intact:

  Method 2:

  a. go to the Media Player.

  b. in the menu-> file-> manage libraries-> select each library (music, video, photos, TV recorded (if you have)

  c. check the paths that he manages and make sure it is not too near the root of the C: drive.  For example, it should be something like c:\users\Jim\Music and c:\users\Public\Music BUT NOT c:\users because they will cause the whole directory to re tree - index over and over (when you surf the web, or change files in your profile).

• new laptop/CS-4 and Windows?

  Two questions please

  ! - Photoshop CS-4 will work with windows 9?

  2. he happens on a laptop computer that I will use in the field. What I internet cacee to activate it?

  Thanks to you all

  Dec9,

  I'm not a fan of any test, I think you have the best solution. I strongly believe that CS4 will work perfectly on Win7. Now, the Internet connection can be a problem, but I know tons of people who do not have their workstations connected to the Internet at all, and many have the suites Adobe include PS, but also other programs. I don't remember one that had a problem.

  Now, I must admit that my 'phone home' PS, when I run the application, but then I have Internet on all computers, so that one would expect.

  To the OP, if the trial gives you all the problems on the laptop, please update your post, so others can learn from your experiences.

  Good luck

• New laptop: product upgrade to Windows 10, confused activation Code.

  Tried going to Win 10.  Machine directly from the factory, never used.

  Requests product key as not active.  But as OEM no key available.

  CTRL-X system says not active.  Press activate and it said: everything is done.    Option not on Metro "change PC settings."

  Nothing unusual.  This should apply for 99% of users.

  The solution is that, somehow, this machine hardly used became totally corrupt.  Wifi networking stopped and activation has been confused.

  So a factory full reset (nothing else would do) and then everything worked correctly.

  Lessons

  • The system report Windows-X of the activation status is significant noise and not only.  If it says not active there is a real problem to solve, even if the tricks of metro says it is activated.

  Thanks for those who have tried to help.

• -Vista Basic to Windows 7 - easy transfer old and new laptops

  After facing a lot of difficulty with the Vista and bluescreen mistakes, now I changed the idea of keeping vista more. Got a new laptop from Dell with Windows 7.

  Now again, the problem is, when I tried to use the transfer via the cable, the program responds to microsoft and the Service Pack update. Considering that, my vista update does not appear any new update available from the windows update menu shortcut start. I followed the instructions as stated, but again and again, I wonder the service pack update.

  I visited the Microsoft Web site to download the stand-alone software for this purpose. Is it specific to any other software available for transfer easty, that it installs old laptop with Vista Home Basic?  If the service pack is available for this specific update separately, I'll download it from microsoft and install it. I have woul like to get the good link for the same thing.

  Just for your info, I give below details of the old & new details of the laptop:
  Old - Compac Pressario C500, Vista Home Basic,
  New: Dell Inspiron 1440, Windows 7.

  Grateful for your advice on this.

  Thanks and best wishes,

• Install the old CD HP Photosmart on my new laptop Toshiba (Windows 8)

  I recently bought a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 8.  I have a 5 year old, but I like it, HP Photosmart 7200 Series C.  I can not get the CD to download on the new laptop - he says that he does not meet the requirements of the system.  I downloaded from the internet, but do not have the ability to perform tasks of the laptop - want to do analysis or checking ink levels, etc.  Scanning is a problem since I often use this feature and it is so much easier and faster to scan from the screen of the laptop to the printer/scanner.  Thank you for all the ideas.

  Has worked like a charm - you're my hero!  It's ongoing struggle for a few months and you got the solution!  Thank you so much...

• New laptop - you see is not the local copy of the library

  I've always had my library (500 GB) on a USB external drive. This has never caused a problem for several years.

  I recently got a new laptop (Lenovo X 250 Windows 7) and I'm working through the implementation. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes... went in the preferences... selected the former library on my external drive folder... nothing. iTunes don't even see.

  After some research on these forums, I followed plan, hold the SHIFT key while opening iTunes to force it to create a new library on the hard disk external. I did it. Then, as indicated, I moved all my media in the newly created iTunes Media folder. Progress! iTunes can now 'see' the library... but all the content is marked with the meaning of the cloud logo I need to download it. So, if I do not have wifi... I can't play any content, even if it is attached everything locally.

  I did a test and click download on a song. The result was iTunes there duplication in my local library by adding a '1' after the title of the song. I checked all the multimedia files are indeed still on the local disk - they are not lost.

  Suggestions on how to get iTunes to consider this as a local library?

  See the following tips for use.

  Make a portable split library

  Fix iTunes for Windows security permissions

  Empty/corrupted library iTunes after upgrade/crash

  If your entire library was starting with the outside so it should be possible to get it working again. If this isn't the case, you can ensure that you build it correctly this time.

  Regarding duplicates see Re: deletion of duplicates in the library. Note that everything in the media folder must be connected to iTunes first for this script to work.

• New laptop does not recognize the car of my Satellite P20

  Hi all

  I bought a new laptop and I need to transfer the datga from my old laptop (Toshiba P20-504 running Win XP MCE) to my new (an other manufactuers laptop model 9815 running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition). I took the HARD drive on my old laptop, put it in a shopping cart, so I hook the drive up to my new laptop computer and use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer more parameters, files etc...

  While my new laptop seems to know that something connects (i.e. it makes the sound link), it is not recognize my old HARD drive Toshiba is in Windows Explorer. Any ideas? I guess I need the driver for the HARD drive installed in my laptop for the new laptop can recognize it's there. How can I download this?

  Cheers from London

  Michael

  Hello

  first of all: what caddy do you use? Do you mean you´re using a cart of the USB - HDD or what?

  It would be really interesting.
  Regarding this pilot thing: you don t need a driver for a HARD drive that has been connected for example hollow USB.

  Also I suggest you do not use all the weird windows tools because it would be better to copy everything on your first HARD drive to the drive your computer to another HARD and then unravel and so on...

  Please answer, since no one here knows what caddy you mean.
