Re - download windows 8 since an upgrade of vista.

Well, bad luck with SSD. I had Vista.  I bought the upgrade of windows 8. Everything was good. I downloaded t he 8.1 update. No problems. So far so good... It works well until my SSD decided to go away. I had saved the emails and Yes, they have been too on this drive...

Well, I opened the computer and I have a note with Windows 8 Pro, the installation code and my MS account information. Need me a download address to download windows 8. I have Vista I scored as negotiated.

Is it possible to re - download or I have to buy another copy to install?

    I maintain a web application that contains hundreds of PDF files that contain relative links, among other documents.  The application relies on getting the Base URL of the Adobe Acrobat web plug-in to navigate between different PDF documents while viewing in the browser (the links do not work in a standalone Acrobat window).  Since the upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Reader 11.0.11 last week, these links no longer function (I checked they still work in 11.0.10).  I also have the same problem in Acrobat 10.1.14 (worked in 10.1.13).  I have tried all the other versions.  It seems that updates broke the functionality of our application invoked for the past ten years.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It is a change that seems to work for Adobe Reader 11.0.11 but I can't find any documentation / web post of what he does.

    One would have details of these entries to registry FeatureState?

  • Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since the installation of Vista

    I did a clean install on my new Vista Ready M7. He had XP tablet in a first time, and the DVD player worked fine. In fact I used to install Vista (Home Premium).

    Now it doesn't work at all. It runs but does not read. Device Manager tells me impossible to start the device. Tried to update driver and he told me that he has the most uptodate pilot.

    Downloaded all the drivers from the Download Center of Tosh for upgrade of Vista of M7 (who got bluetooth, rotation etc. function properly the screen). But none of the downloads seems to be a driver for the DVD - Ram drive. He cannot find a driver anywhere else (including the Panasonic site).
    DVD player is Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841 s

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
    Have you tried to install the XP driver DVD-RAM since the Toshiba page on the Vista operating system?

    Maybe it'll market

    But listening the CD/DVD drive uses the current Microsoft drivers that are included in Vista or XP.
    This is why an additional driver should not be necessary!

    An additional proposal;
    Remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop.
    After restarting again the OS should reinstall the drive and renew the software.

    Another tip:
    -Launch the registry
    -Choose the registry key;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    -In the right pane, click UpperFilters and LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
    -Reboot the laptop

    I download windows 10, he told me ready to install, I install, at the end it tells me it will restart and then don't leave me on a blue screen with the windows icon in the Middle no cursor or keys active including the on/off switch. I left it just like that from one day to the next but no change so I disconnect the battery and try again without success.

    I get the error code (0 x-C19001-0 x-20017 instalation failed in phase SAFE_OS with an error during the start operation).

    Did you actually download the Windows 10. ISO file and made a bootable copy using the tool of media and the attempt to upgrade or have you used the wizard of the media creation tool to perform the upgrade?

    Could you provide your specifications and the brand/model?

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times and try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
    • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
