• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

  If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!

• My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7. Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

  My camera Olympus only works with Apple's Quick Time 7.  Is it possible to make it work with my operating system from Windows XP?

  Apple QuickTime 7 works is because. MOV is the Apple
  QuickTime format.

  QuickTime. MOV files can cause problems with Windows Media Player.
  And... If you plan to try editing with Movie Maker... the files should
  be converted to the. WMV format.

  No guarantee, but the following decoder might allow Windows Media
  Reader to read your. MOV files. Only problem is... it is not freeware to retail.

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  3ivx MPEG-4 5.0.4 decoder
  http://store.3ivx.com/3ivxStore/product_details.php?ID=11

  Convert the. MOV files to the. WMV format may be worth a try:

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converter is just one example:

  Format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster download)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the final screens)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Hello

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

• Im trying to install the Nvidia drivers for my new video card and its saying that my operating system (windows vista 64-bit) is not compatible, which means they are 32-bit drivers, it's fake.

  Im trying to install drivers for a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 on my windows vista 64 bit computer. Every time I have try and start the download, it is said that my driver is not a 64-bit driver, which is false, and that my system is 64 bit, which is true. SO... after I click 'OK', it begins to download only to have another pop-up saying "Setup has detected that the system in use is not windows vista 64 bit" which it is. Basically its contradiction with himself. im confused.

  Im running windows vista 64-bit.

  I just upgraded to a Nvidia 9800GT, to a Nvidia GTX 260.

  In frustration, I deleted all the old drivers, but the new will not download.

  The first error says that the drivers are not 64-bit.

  The second error indicates the operating system is not 64-bit.

  Let the site nVidia Driver detect your video card. If it still does not work, contact nVidia for a solution... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  Original title: MS Office programs do not open after installation of Windows update to Windows Vista operating system

  After having decided to install the Windows Update my computer told me was available all my software as my programs MS Offfice is no longer open.  I don't know what to do.  The only thing that still works is the Windows Media Player.  I can't open Word or Excel, I can't access my photos.  Open Internet Explorer is like a weird nightmare but I am able to access the Internet.  I tried reinstalling my MS Office software, which did not work.  I have no idea what to do to solve the problem, but I need my computer back. It was good except for its slow, when I open certain programs, now I can't access something.  Any ideas what I should do to correct the nightmare?

• Is it possible to download an image (.iso) of the operating system from the Microsoft Web site?

  As I've already bought the computer with the operating system installed on it and apparently I have not received any CD of the OS with it. But I have the ID of the product on the computer... is there a way where I could get a copy .iso of my operating system on the Microsoft Web site?

  Thank you!

  On-site upgrades are not well regarded by some contributors of this forum, including me. However if you want to try, I refer you to this link for an iso download...

  I thank very it much for the response, I have tried as it appears in you notice the link.

  but when I chose to clean up the system files , > Remove Windows does not appear, but Remove windows to this day was here,

  
  

  Please, any help...?

  Im not quite clearly your senario... You have two installations of windows 8 in different partitions? or in a single partition, as an upgrade? and showing two options boot menu at startup?
  
  Here's an alternative way to answer Andre ... even effect
  If so
  Try the system configuration utility... Press the windows key and r and type msconfig and click ok...
  Then you can edit anything and as default and change the timeout values... the value of the start you want as default... and set the time-out value as 0

  

  Note: If you accidentally delete your work boot entry, your windows boot will not... so take care ... proceed at your own risk...

  If she does not hurt u, u why change / remove this thing?
