• Reinstall Win7 with Digital River iso and upgrade license?

  I have a dell computer shipped with XP. A few years ago, I upgraded to win7 by buying a license to upgrade through the microsoft store.

  They gave me the download link no longer works. I downloaded the full win7 Professional x 86 version of digital river, but I don't know if it will work.

  Can I format my hard drive and reinstall win7 using the iso Digital River, my win7 upgrade license key and my xp license key?

  As long as you have a license (product key) for Windows 7 Professional, Digital River download will work.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Upgraded to WIN 7 can reinstall vista with a new product key the use of dual boot even reinstall disk and computer

  OK, so I've upgraded windows vista to windows 7 and now I want to reinstall vista as a dual boot. I understand that my vista OEM license is now linked to the 7 upgrade, but if I buy a new vista product key can I still use the vista reinstallation disc came with my Dell laptop. I do not know because the drive is a Dell reinstall the drive, but it is on the same computer. The disk is bound to the OEM key or a different key will activate again with her.

  Dell drive is related to the OEM license and, normally, the motherboard.

  If you want to dual-boot, you will need to buy a separate FULL Vista / / license-product disk key.

• j6410 over wifi is detected but not settled it on Win7 with the new installation of OJJ6400_Full_13.exe

  Dear all,

  I try to install my printer all in one HP Officejet J6410 (connected to an access point) wireless to my HP Pavilion dv5-1155eg laptop running Windows 7 Professional (ENG). I am trying to install using the new "HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver" (OJJ6400_Full_13.exe) for the specified printer. ""

  The rest of the HP software installation succeeded it. I am able to see the web interface of the printer from my browser. In the past, before the release of this new driver I could even print wirelessly, using the base driver provided by Win7.

  What fails is the installation of the printer itself:

  I use the software to 'Add a device' the HP that successfully locates my printer wireless in the screen "found network printers." I selects the printer, press 'Next', Network Diagnostics seems to run ok and then start the installation of the printer, it is firstly says 'printer detected... ". "but she eventually fails with the message:" printer setup is not complete - click Retry to try install again... blah blah. "

  To make richer information, I use a firewall of G Data Internet Security 2010 that I followed him and I can see that it is not blocking anything. I even tried installing with the firewall disabled, anyway...

  In addition, I tested my printer with HP Network Diagnostic Utility. The utility comes with all the information correctly (network configuration, configuration of the computer, HP printer running services, found wireless).

  Any help is appreciated to make it work because it's a major drawback, as you can understand...

  Thank you in advance...

  Thanks for the reply, but that was not the solution... As I mentioned earlier, I had tried in the first place without the firewall installation.

  But, I found a good solution to the problem, and because it might be useful to others I write it here:

  After the movie with the help of HP without success, I managed to find a workaround for the problem:

  1. I uninstalled everyhting about printer software/drivers & restarted windows.
  2. I installed the begin shape everything (the file I downloaded on the site of HP), using the USB option this time and not a wireless.
  3. RESTART WINDOWS (sucks bigtime - respect for unix/linux "reboot is for material changes!")
  4. After you have installed successfully with the USB cable, I chose the option 'Configure wireless settings' Installer extracted files resulting from the file I downloaded frrm the HP site (if after installation, the installer window is closed you will need to locate the extracted in your Temp folder files or just run the file again..). Just follow the instructions of the installer.
  5. This should make the thing! REBOOT (again) and you're ready to go!
  6. (OPTIONAL) For me, the installer actually worked at the last moment, where he stuck permanently. But that was ok, because it's stuck after you set up the printer and corresponding software. After some time, the installer came out with the usual submit an evaluation form. Just ignore it, reboot and everyhting should work. At least it did for me...

• BSOD when trying to install Win7 64 bit with the new motherboard

  Hi all

  I have the following BSOD problem:
  I installed a new motherboard in my system (a MSI P43 C51). Before that, I got a Gigabyte G41MT-S2P. The rest of the configuration is: Q9650, Thermaltake truespirit 90 cooler, 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1333, GTX 470, 750W PSU, case name, SATA HDD 500 GB, Windows 7 64 bit.

  Well, the problem started when I tried to boot into windows with the new motherboard: I got BSOD 1 second after windows starts loading. I thought... new motherboard, install new windows, so I tried to install windows 7 64 bit DVD and USB stick, I get the STOP: 0x0000000A error during installation. I changed the HARD drive, thinking that it could be a bad sector problem, but no, the other hard drive behaved exactly the same thing. I got BSOD at 40% extraction, extraction of 90% and for the moment "Complete the installation..." ». I also tried to install with the stick of memory only one, spent between ports, everything. The material I have works, as I played on my PC every day in the last month and received no. BSOD, also had a small overclock the CPU and the GPU (100 MHz on the processor, that the old motherboard supported more than 343 fsb and about 100 MHz on the GPU). It was stable, no errors, no nothing.

  My thoughts are only, after asking some knowledge that work in computer support, it could be a problem of version of the BIOS (BIOS is 2005..) and the fact that my Win 7 installation kit is without Service Pack 1 (a colleague told me that he had this problem for the PC more than once and after trying to install SP1 It went smoothly and without errors)

  I just got a new "blank" DVD of Win 7 64 bit with SP1. What I'll try today is to Flash the bios with the latest version and install the OS on a HARD drive new, sealed. He could not be my system components, because they are compatible and they worked 1 day before with no problems! I have literally NO IDEA what could be the problem. Today, I'll try the installation of the new DVD and with the new version of the BIOS. If this does not work, I have no idea what I can do... It is a sucky situation.

  If you have any suggestions, please, don't keep it to yourself :-D

  Thank you!

  Hello

  See this thread for more information on using BlueScreenView, MyEventViewer and other methods of
  Troubleshoot the BlueScreens - top two responses.

  ==============================================

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Drivers could be at fault, however the problems of disk or security/antivirus/antispyware products are
  just as likely to be the root cause that they can force a driver to corrupt or go out of bounds.
  The video driver or something affecting it would be questionable.

  At the end of this message, I'll post a bluescreen generic and in the next convenience store
  How do to update the drivers and BIOS but also to check memory message.

  -----------------------------------

  BCCode: 0a 0x0000000A

  Cause

  This bug check is issued if the memory paged (or invalid) is accessible when the IRQL is too high.

  The error that usually generates this bug check occurs after the installation of the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS.

  If you encounter a bug 0xA control during the upgrade to a later version of Windows, this error can be caused by a device driver, system service, an anti-virus or a backup tool that is not compatible with the new version.

  Solve the problem

  If a kernel debugger is available, get a stack trace.

  To resolve an error caused by the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. Press F8 to character-based menu that displays the choice of operating system.
  3. In the WindowsAdvanced Options menu, select last known good Configuration . This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time.

  To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool

  1. Check the system log in Event Viewer for error messages that may identify the device or driver that caused the error.
  2. Try disabling the cache in memory of the BIOS.
  3. Run the diagnostics of equipment provided by the manufacturer of the system, in particular the scanner memory. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.
  4. Make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed.
  5. If your system has cards (SCSI) small computer system interface, contact the card manufacturer for updated Windows drivers. Try to disable sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, check the wiring and the SCSI ID of each device and confirming the proper termination.
  6. For devices (IDE) peripheral electronic integrated, set the built-in as only primary IDE port. Also, check each IDE device to the right setting master/slave/stand alone. Try to remove all IDE devices except for the hard drives.

  If the message appears during installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and installed devices are listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.

  Comments

  Before upgrading to a new version of Windows, remove all third-party device drivers and system services and disable any antivirus. Contact software manufacturers for updates of these third-party tools.

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the blue screen
  info that would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And all others
  error information such as codes of STOP and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

• reinstalled win7 Home premium, need product key

  Hello, as in the title, I have reinstalled my laptop with win7 home prem who which was preinstalled when you bought the computer and as you know with a new installation, ask your product key.
  Well, many people probably have the same problem as me, the sticker of windows security on computer background with the product key to this topic has disappeared.
  the copy of windows 7 Home premium that I use is a bootleg copy that I download from some torrent sites, I know that it's ok because I used it to reinstall the other computers, and then using the product keys for computers.

  as far as I know or have been told by a tech guy that fixs for a large company named computers is that the product key is engraved somewhere on motherboards memory and can be retrieved.
  does any 1 know how to retrieve the product key of this way of the motherboard.

  any help or advice would be welcome, thank you.

  Hello

  Your product key is not engraved on the memory of the motherboard in Windows 7

  You need the COA sticker with the product key, but it's faded away.

  Your choice is now limited in what you can do without having to buy a new product/license key.

  Because Windows 7 is pre-installed:

  You can contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  The installation of the "pirated" copy process may have ruined this option

  If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the hard drive Partition to reinstall Windows 7 back to the way in which you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.
