• Pre-release version of Windows Vista will expire

  I had to download this version of Vista on my HP computer as one that came on the computer was so buggy it was unueable most of the time. I now get a message telling me that "this pre-release version of Windows Vista™ Home Premium will expire in 0 hours.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  NB: Do NOT use the 'version of Vista' you downloaded! If your HP computer came not with a set of disks when you bought it, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install. Contact HP support for assistance.

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Pre-release of Windows 10 and ReadyNAS.

  Someone at - configure a system with a pre-release version of Windows 10 and network a ReadyNAS?
  I am interested because I intend to update soon (not sure if I'll do day 1-29/07/15), and I was wondering what impact it could have.
  I currently use Windows 7 for my main machine, with Vista, MAc etc. iphones.
  Relationship, 'nitpicking' small with the current Win 7 - NAS, as the management of credentials, Windows Explorer (see http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=81416) etc.
  I hope that things will go smoother for the relationship, or there will be some RNOS problems that could not have been foreseen.

  NETGEAR has actually tested the use of ReadNAS in a 10 of Windows (or X) environment?
  Comments please and if you already use WX, do not hesitate especially.

  We use the last samba series 4.2 in our ReadyNAS OS 6.2.x firmware.

  By nature beta software may have bugs and a few changes before the release. A major upgrade as Windows 10 is also likely to have added new SMB features that can take a long time to be taken in charge by samba, or not at all.

  You would think it should work the same way well how the ReadyNAS works with existing versions of Windows e.g. Windows 7 but it is possible, there may be some problems for early adopters.

  I would advise professional users do not update immediately. Some software, for example 3rd party software require updates to support Windows 10. If possible test it first 10 Windows on a machine of printers to hopefully avoid the problems leading to serious interruptions in service.

• Pre-release test software offers on the main map

  What is the relationship, if any, of the pre-release version of the software testing offer displayed on the main map, and trial, we are involved in here? (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47978)

  I'm guessing that the new test is a more mature version, but that's just a guess. Are these tests to run at the same time, or will we be pushed new software?

  Thank you

  @dcedte

  Yes, it's the same software you have. The testing will continue at the same time. Currently, there are no plans to push the new software for you. In the next few days, we will see if this changes.

• Debugging in the Release version

  Hello world

  my new app uses a card to process the data. The data processor triggers a signal and slot this respons by closing the card. Well, at least while debugging. I tried the release just before you download for the BlackBerry World and I noticed that the card don't be closed. Data are transformed very well, but somehow the signal is not properly raised or the card cannot be closed. I have attached a bit of code to illustrate my operation.

  The processing of the data

  void WebpageFetcher::done()
  {
      DbHelper* dbHelper = DbHelper::getInstance();
      dbHelper->insert(some data);
      //Signal that we're done!
      emit fetchDone("Success!");
      delete dbHelper;
  }
  

  The Application

  fetcher = new WebpageFetcher(uri);
  connect(fetcher, SIGNAL(fetchDone(QString)), this, SLOT(fetchingDone(QString)));
  

  void ApplicationUI::fetchingDone(QString msg)
  {
      // Assemble message
      CardDoneMessage message;
      message.setData(msg);
      message.setDataType("text/plain");
      message.setReason("Success!");
      // Send message
      m_invokeManager->sendCardDone(message);
  }
  

  Now my question is: How can I see the output in Release version? qDebug will obviously not work, but I need a tool to help me understand this issue.

  Looks like the culprit was "build automatically" neglected my amendments to the code for the Release version. Although 4 wasted hours, could be worse

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

All works even better than win 7 because my PC has low spec, it stops every 2 hours. I wonder will Win 10 technical preview expires just like the preview of exit 8 victory and stop each time when the final version of win 10 lot. It worries me because win 7 users can now try to win 10 through Win 7 upgrade without messing with ISO images, what happens when a few dozen win final release comes out, they will have to re - install win 7 to avoid interruptions at determined intervals if they choose to not upgrade? What can defeat the purpose of users who do not use the ISO images if they indeed need to clean install for roll to win 10 preview. I know we are told not to install win 10 technical overview on our main PC, but there is always some very smart people (me for example) who are too eager to try new things, but lack the resources to run virtual OS or experiment on an old PC and you end up with something they love but hate at the same time (an overview of release 8 expired win)

  Yes, it will expire. Current previews of 10 Windows such as Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9841, 9860, 9879 all will expire April 15, 2015.

  

  It worries me because win 7 users can now try to win 10 through Win 7 upgrade without messing with ISO images, what happens when a few dozen win final release comes out, they will have to re - install win 7 to avoid interruptions at determined intervals if they choose to not upgrade?

  Microsoft has officially made a tweet made their intention is intended for users who upgrade to the current releases of preview of Windows 10 they want users to be able to upgrade these glimpses into the final version.

  Please note that this is their intention, anything can happen in the final version, so it is always recommended that you do not replace your production facility in Windows 7, 8/8.1, Vista with Windows 10. Please note that Windows 10 is also the recovery partitions unusable if you upgrade, requiring that you use a support of recovery actually reinstall your original Windows copy if you need to return.

  In addition, Microsoft didn't intend to do 10 Windows one product appeal, then you can buy the final version some way somehow.
