On my first Window7 Home Premium computer laptop, one is Mirosoft WORKS CD came with it, when I brought a new, there is no CD of Mirosoft works, why not?

When I brought my first laptop in May 2010, from Curry, I only got a cd-rom a Mirosoft Works, I was band new computer, so I don't know about CD-ROM to reinstall and things like that. When I had learned some (but not many) of the basics on laptops and I had paid my loan which is how I got my first laptop, I bought a new, this laptop came with CD-ROM to reinstall, but there was no CD Microsoft Works, can someone tell me, why not? as ŒUVRES came handy, I type not enough or are paid enough to buy a Microsoft Office 2010. Many tanks, rich

Hello rich trew,.

Just to make sure that you understand it, some manufacturers of computers such as HP, Dell, Sony and gateway in the past have offered free software and operating systems. Microsoft Works was part of your first computer, but this has been the manufacturer of the computer. This has led people to believe that it is always included as part of the Windows operating systems. They included Microsoft Works, Roxio Easy CD Creator, Adobe Reader just name a few.

Microsoft let computer makers bundle what they want, when they sell their OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) computers. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the computer what to offer and has nothing to do with the operating system of Microsoft.

Thank you

  • A hard time with the drivers for Vista Home Premium computer laptop computer network with Windows 7

    OK, I've read tons of information on that and I'm stumped.  I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 all-in-one printer.  I have my Windows vista Home premium networking with my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  I go to the step where the machine Vista attempts to connect to the printer on the network, then it asks a driver.  The driver file is already on the vista machine.  I installed the latest drivers from Microsoft and epson on the Windows 7 machine and he always asks a driver.  Can someone point me to the exact file name and the location of the driver in the vista vista machine so I can simply copy and point to it my windows machine 7.  I did the updates from Microsoft to get all the latest drivers.  Thank you.

    You do not install the Vista drivers on Windows 7 computer.

    § Begin the analysis of the system. This process will take time.

    § Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    ·        % Of verification complete.

    ·        Once the scan is complete, a test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved or not.

    Hello

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft expects that these downloads for Windows 7 retail product keys, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact Dell to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Reference Dell USA:

    https://www.Dell.com/support/Diagnostics/us/en/19/nondiagnostichome

    If in another country, contact the Support Dell technique in your country.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    And it was the way to make a backup of the recovery partition recovery.

    Yes.  More likely you qualify for level to Windows 8 If you had Windows 7 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, are all eligible to upgrade.)  Just OS level determines what you will be able to keep for an upgrade).

  • Mobile gamepad XBOX 360 not recognized when connected to a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium computer USB ports

    Very well - so a few days ago (Saturday ~ 2) (25. 2012) I connected to my XBOX 360 (Wired) controller on my Toshiba Satellite L655 computer laptop with Windows 7 ~ Home Premium 64-Bit. To my surprise, a Notification bubble popped up from the taskbar, saying that the "unrecognized USB device. It has malfunctioned. "

    Naturally, I took, waited a few seconds, and then reconnect the USB key. The same message has popped up. Now, I was angry. Repeatedly, I took and reconnected it all a few seconds until that FINALLY the 4 green lights around the button Guide everything illuminated and then back except the one on the upper left, which was the way it should have been.
    I went to the control panel and clicked on the 360 controller to see if he had any input. Nope.
    I pulled out once more, has waited a while and plugged in. No, lucky. The same thing happened again. The Notification bubble came, all 4 green lights on and then all four of them died. I don't know what happened.
    When I plugged the controller to the laptop the FIRST FULL TIME, he installed all necessary drivers in less than a minute and I was on my way. Every time after that, I have taken the controller into the USB Port and began to play. Now all the time, that is to say that it cannot recognize the controller?
    I've tried everything, even a system restore. Nothing did. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for a few minutes, there was an entry of the controller, then he went just blank.
    I need this controller in order to play my racing games, seeing the keyboard control just aren't the best. I don't know what the problem is, but I wish I had a solution A.S.A.P. Please, Microsoft, please. Help me!
                                                                                                                            


    I had the same problem, cannot find a solution that worked everywhere, including Microsoft support forums.

    About to give up, I remembered the old cure NDA, shaped, "why not?"  I've tried everything else. "So I've disconnected everything on the gamepad, blew in every connection and reconnected everything, by ensuring that the connections were tight.

    It has worked perfectly since then.

  • Security issues for XP Pro to format hard drive in a Vista Home Premium computer

    My laptop was running XP Pro.  A few days ago, I accidentally spilled a glass of water on it and the computer died.  I took apart an old external 2.5 drive I had and inserted the laptop drive so that I could recover the files from my laptop.  The other computer in the House is the Office of my wife in Vista Home Premium.  Here's my problem:

    The Vista computer will read the reader very well except for the fact that I can't access many of my files due to the security clearance.  I understood that in Vista, I can take possession, but so far, I figured out how to make it only one file at a time.  For example, I took possession of a record, but then I had to take care of the folders inside this folder, and then I had to take possession of individual files inside this folder.  Even when I try to open a Word document that I have to go through the security process complete to open it.

    Is it possible for me to have access to everything by changing some settings in Vista.  Finally, I'm going to buy a new laptop, and I need to transfer all my files to it.  I don't want to have to get clearance for thousands of files one at a time.  Help, please.

    Thank you

    It is more permissions that it owns.  I guess almost all of the files to copy are in the Documents and settings folder.  So give yourself permissions to full right for all files and folders and subfolders of this folder (both in the main section and in particular advanced section - and don't forget to check the box to include all the files and subdirectories).  That should do the trick.

    If you are still having problems - maybe these can help you get through them, here is more information about permissions and ownership:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    I hope this helps.

  • When install Vista Home Premium computer hangs on the language selection screen. No visible cursor, the keyboard and the mouse does not.

    Hi, when I try to install vista that Home Premium 32 bits on the computer of my son, through the installation of loading files with the gray bar at the bottom, then goes to the screen language selection, at this stage, I can not select anything using the keyboard or the mouse. There is no cursor visible. Keyboard and mouse both work fine in the bios and on other machines. Have used other keyboards and mice on the machine in question, but that makes no difference. Tried another copy of vista, no difference. Tested on Windows 7 install and everything works fine!

    Very confused, thinking that it must be a driver problem, but how about him? Any help is appreciated!

    [Note: the underlined address is not always the same, but the others are still the same]
    Description:

    I get this blue screen for the past 4 months frustrating, and I have tried everything to fix:

    • I switched RAM locations
    • Bought a new hard drive (my previous failure gave me a hard drive test, although apparently it wasn't the problem)
    • Paid for internal fan of cleaning... and although my laptop MUCH less heat, it still crashes
    • Formatted 3 times:
    • Once with the new drivers
    • A second time without having to install other applications (vanilla installation)
    • A third time remove my HDD, partition, install drivers manual (no windows update) and do not install other software applications
    If I am inclined to believe that the problem is hardware related.
    The time it takes for the laptop down to the blue screen is completely random. Sometimes the laptop only lasts 5 minutes, it takes sometimes an hour before it crashes.
    Of course, after my final format, when it crashed with only IE and painting opened, I started to install software and noticed that the time it takes to crash is linked to the CPU load:
    FL Studio, Skype and other applications of large size tend to lead to the accident in less than 2 minutes. Other programs like TeamViewer, which (to me) uses a lot of bandwidth, lead to a crash in less than 10 minutes.
    During navigation only the web does not cause an accident at least an hour.
    Please... I'm desperate!
    What could be the cause of this error?
    I took the laptop for MANY it professionals, those who claim that they can solve this problem, when they did infact. I even took it to my local distributor of HP.
    Can not fix my laptop?
    Any help is greatly appreciated :)
    Miguel Muscat

    PS: This could help:
    A friend has been inspecting my minidump files generated from the crash (C:\Windows\MiniDump) and found something he thought might help:
    Error: ICACHEL1_SNOOP_ERR (Proc 1 Bank 1)
    He says he has something to do with the lower cover of the CPU. The CPU would be defective? Hope this helps :)
    If this can help too, I'll gladly upload my files to dump :)
