• Hello guys, I installed Windows which was not original, and now it's not true, I do not know the product key.

  * Original title: product key

  Hello guys, I installed Windows which was not original and now it's not true, I do not know the product key and I want to activate how?

  If the edition installed does not match the edition, you have a product key because it will not activate.

  If you have a product key for the specific edition installed, try the phone activation:

• RMAN-20207: until the RECOVERY WINDOW, which was before the RESETLOGS

  Dear friends,
  
  I'm picking up some time and I have used this SQL in my RMAN
  
  reset the database incarnation 1;
  
  run
  {
  until ' to_date (3 Aug 10 17:50 ',' MON-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') ";
  restore the database;
  recover the database;
  }
  
  and I get this error: RMAN-20207: until the RECOVERY WINDOW, which was before the RESETLOGS
  
  I thought changing the incarnation will solve the problem. I have only 2 incarnations, which is used after that the resetlogs which is number 2. So I now use 1 incarnation.
  
  How should I go about this?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Ok...

  Now, what you have to do: If you want to point at the time of recovery, you must have a valid backup plus archivelogs in order to recover up to the desired time.

  From now on, full backup is available for the time that you asked, however archivelogs not :(

  You must make available, controlfile catalogue and begin to restore, recover up to the hour. Then open with resetlogs option.

• Laptop HP 15-R119TU: version 8.1 of Windows which was this original system comes with?

  So I know that it was Windows 8.1 x 64... But exactly which variation my model comes with?

  House? Only one language? "N" ? .... Cannot be Pro.

  Is there any way to determine from the embedded in my BIOS product key?

  Many sites say it's 'Windows 8.1 with Bing. But there are also 'Windows 8.1 with Bing, one language'... etc.

  How can go do a new install of Win 8.1 who to him scoped from the OEM key in my BIOS. I have the model numbers, series and lot etc. on the back of my laptop. If those who can help.

  It's probably a question for the experts of HP.

  PS: I erased my entire hard drive. So there is nothing more. New installation.

  Hello:

  The page of product for your model below specifications indicate that it comes with Windows 8.1 with Bing (64-bit).

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-notebook-PC-series/7234951/model/7553315/document/c04489978/

  I don't think you can use the download ISO W8.1 from Microsoft, because it won't work with the product key OEM of W8.1 in the BIOS.

  You need to either use the recovery W8.1 media you did when you got the laptop, or an OEM of W8.1 installation disc.

  You laptop has no Pro of W8.1 verson.

• Pavilion laptop g6 - Wifi problem after upgrade to 8.1 Windows

  KIM

  I have a Pavilion Notebook - C3M29EA #AB7 g6 and upgraded to 8.1 windows yesterday.

  Since then, I was unable to detect my own wifi connection while I am able to detect my neighbours. (Everything worked fine before the update).

  Any suggestions?

  -Same here.

  After an hour of time I will ever come back that I solved the problem.

  (1) go on the internet via the wired LAN port

  2) update drivers for Ralink wifi adapter

  Go: Right click on the wireless network connection icon: properties/Configure/tab Driverr/update driver

  (3) after a minute or two of updateing the PC reports that the driver has been updated

  (4) pull the network cable and turn on WiFi.

  What a pain in the anus,

  Anyway, as I said, corrected!

• ProBook 4440 s cleanly put to upgrade to 8.1 Windows overheating 64bits

  I took my Probook s 4440 which comes preinstalled with windows 7 64 bit (2 years ago) use it with an SSD in the last 8 months.

  A week ago I did the following:

  1. open Notepad

  2 - took the time to thoroughly clean all vents and fans. almost no dust was found.

  3 - do you have a clean install of Windows MS 8.1 64bits.

  4 installed MS Office bloatware and other applications.

  5 - installed 'certain' HP utilities like power plan a selected balanced both plugged and unplugged

  Since I upgraded to 8.1, I noticed that the computer overheats to the point if freezes or slow down.

  As for the fan, I noticed that the fan starts at random (or not) when the computer is overheating.

  I noticed that the overheating starting on hard drive (to the left of the mouse pad)

  If I put my hand on the left vents, I can feel the hot air coming out.

  No, its not heavy CPU usage. Sometimes, the laptop is slow but hot.

  Questions

  Can what spare parts I use to replace the fan with a greater RPM?

  How can I control the fan to be always on (I really don't mind a bit of noise in order to save my investment)

  Am I missing some HP software that will control the overheating?

  I see that HP has no fan control application and internet tools such as SpeedFan seem not to be able to manage the fan.

  It's a workbook perfectly. Suggestions are welcome.

  Thank you

  does anyone have a little app to control fan for some probooks (HPFanControl).

  Personally, I would go back to windows 7, windows 8 - 8.1 has a lot of problems & bad drivers.

• If I upgrade my Vista to Windows 7 computer, it removes a virus on my computer?

  I have a Virus or malicious software called Vista Total Security, and my antivirus does not detect, so I thought it would be the perfect excuse to upgrade my computer to Windows 7.

  It deletes the virus when I install it?
  or I have to re - format Vista and then install windows 7?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  You should never pass a computer with malware or other large
  questions unless this upgrade is HIGHLY recommended by
  Microsoft to fix the problem. Fix problems then put to level or make a
  clean, install with the upgraded version (which removes everything).

  Vista Total Security 2011 is known by several names.
  
  Vista Total Security 2011 is a fake antivirus, a scam to force you to pay for it, while it has no advantage at all.

• The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7: How can I make sure that I keep Microsoft Office

  A few months back I took advantage of this offer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 for a discounted price. After that I downloaded the upgrade file, Upgrade Advisor told me that because I'm using Vista business and I was upgrade 7, that my computer would probably be home must pass through with a 'clean install', thus wiping my hard drive.

  That's fine with me, I could just move my documents and Favorites on an external hard drive. But I'm afraid that the upgrade will be wipe my Microsoft Office programs.

  I bought this computer a few years ago. I don't even know if I bought the program with office bundled with it, or if I bought it separately (and probably the discs are somewhere in storage).

  How can I make this update without losing Microsoft Office? Is it possible to confirm if my word has come with my computer or if I installed it separately. If it came with it, and I lose it, certainly there must be a free way for me to recover. Right?

  Any other advice for someone planning on the upgrade?

  Thank you!

  You're the one who knows if you installed Office.

  Office (Word, etc.) comes for free with Windows. you have to buy.

  If Office is preinstalled, it was a test.

  A clean installation will wipe everything.

  You cannot transfer programs.

  It needs to be reinstalled from the original media.

• HP Laserjet Pro CM1415 cold not scan after upgrade to 8.1 windows

  I upgraded Windows 8 to 8.1, and since that time, my laptop can't connect with my scanner.  I tried printing HP and doctor Scan, but when I downloaded the latest driver, he asked me if I wanted to remove my current driver is not to install a new driver.  How can I get my scanner to work?  It prints OK.

  Nevermind, I just tried the other installation option, which was to "connect another HP device.  Quick install another HP device using software already loaded on this computer. "What does install the new printer driver and my printer can scan now.  Now I go back and delete the old driver.

• I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?

  You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.

  Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.
