    Hi florane

    Have you been able to sync with WMP11 before? This problem only started recently?

    Try these steps and check:

    1 check out the iRiver firmware updates site - they have made updates to H10 for example when WMP11 is out:

    2. also delete sync in WMP relationship - plug in the appliance, if it is set to auto-sync: plug it in, go to synchronize, click on the small arrow below, and then choose the iRiver and the 'end sync partnership.

    3. then go to the Control Panel, Device Manager, see if the camera is there, and then uninstall it. Disconnect and reconnect the iRiver, which should refresh the device and restart WMP to see if it works better.

  • Try to install Windows XP but don't get a message: Setup cannot find a previous version of Windows installed on the computer.

    Install XP instead of Vista

    I tried to install XP in my laptop ASUS PRO31jr which currently has Vista Home Premium installed.  I updated the BIOS first and changed the boot on CD/DVD order.  Disk load bunch of drivers, then when it gets to the installation, said he cannot find a previous version of windows installed on the computer and calls for an XP Home edition (full version), or a CD of XP Professional (full version).  The CD I have is XP Professional Academic Edition version 2002.  RHE booklet supplied with the disc seems to indicate that this is the full version, and I successfully used to clean install on XP.  Is the drive of my problem?  I would appreciate a difinative answer if anybody out there knows for sure.  Goodwich.

    If the message "Setup cannot find a previous version of Windows installed on the computer", you have an upgrade version that requires Windows XP Home Edition installation.

  • I bought the Adobe Creative Suite master collection over the past two years with my old mac. I bought a new mac, can I continue to use the old serial number? If not, where can I get the serial number?

    I bought the Adobe Creative Suite master collection over the past two years with my old mac. I bought a new mac, can I continue to use the old serial number? If not, where can I get the serial number? Where I am, I guess that contact to?

    Yes, your license allows you to have two facilities activated simultaneously, so if you want to you can have both machines busy and active so that there is a backup should it come in handy.  You can also contact Adobe via chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you have one (or two) released for a new installation.

  • How can I continue to use the serial number I already paid?

    . I have a student 2013 Adobe Suite, but when I download creative cloud on my new laptop, there is not even a prompt to enter the serial number? How can I continue to use the serial number I already paid?

    To continue to use the serial you paid for you simply continue using the software that the license has been purchased is valid for (which is all what you have bought in 2013).  Your Adobe Suite has no relationship with the creative cloud.  Your serial number is only valid for the product for which it was purchased.  If you want to use cloud products, you must purchase a subscription.

  • How long can I continue to use Windows 7

    I don't find this answer online, not even on Microsoft.

    If I choose to keep windows 7 and not upgrade to Windows 10 before the end of July, how long Microsoft will continue to provide updates on it?

    Also, if I need to re - install Windows 7 after an accident or the replacement motherboard, can I do it and activate it and still get all the old updates for it?

    And how long can I still get questions answered here relating to Windows 7?

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate N on a computer desktop and Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop, which came from Toshiba.

    Extended support (and updates) for Win7 continues until January 14, 2020.

    If you need to reinstall Win7 for a reason, you should be able to activate using the original product key. We hope that the Win7 updates be available (i.e., through the Microsoft Update Catalog) several years after the end of Extended Support, but no one never really knows for sure.

    Similarly, Win7 specific forums is still available here well after January 2020.

  • How to run a 32 bit 64 bit Windows 7 program. I tried troubleshooting and answered, he ran on older versions of Windows, but that did not help. The program is writing more

    I'm trying to run a writing more on my new computer with Windows 7. It won't work because it is a 32-bit program. I tried troubleshooting and replied he ran in an earlier version of the window, but it will not always be open. Any suggestions?

    ... It won't work because it is a 32-bit program...

    Writing more is an accounting since the beginning of 1990s and support program was interrupted as of January 31, 2006. While I have no personal experience with the program, it is unlikely he was still 32-bit. It is much more likely that it was a 16-bit program, and that's why you have trouble to install and it works on a 64-bit Windows 7 installation.

    If your program or its request for installation is a 16-bit-based program and you have a 64-bit version of Windows it simply does not natively regardless of the compatibility settings. You need to run and install Virtual PC XP Mode to have any chance of a fully operational 16-bit subsystem. If you are running Windows 7 Professional or ultimate, you can use Windows XP Mode and Virtual PC without a second license of Windows.

    Windows Virtual PC
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Virtual-PC/Download.aspx

    Note: you can't run XP Mode on Windows Home editions. If you are running Windows 7 Home Premium or somesuch, you use DosBox or any other program 3rd party virtualization that works with Home Premium. Visit the forums dedicated to these programs for more information.

    DosBox

    64-bit Windows versions do not support 16-bit components, 16-bit, 16-bit applications or process
