Reinstall XP (box set) w / updated version and keep the settings?
My old installation of XP Professional (ver 2000 / SP1 retail box) is not working properly. Hundreds of antivirus, fixes Registry scans, updates and several hard drive card mother upgrade and later I lost some basic features *. Can I reinstall XP using a downloaded newer version (SP3) using my old key (commercial box version) and keep all my settings? I remember that I did this a few years ago and had to rebuild all the updates, but I got what I needed. Now when I try, the same original disk says that I must start over costs and versions are not compatible. Also, where is the best place to get the installation files?
A most annoying things is the delay huge opening files. Some never open and I get a message unable to find the file, that I just clicked? I reinstalled all affected programs (like Office 2003 / Excel) and there is no improvement.
Interesting responses. I was not on top of the issue of IE, but it makes sense. It has been a few years, but I remember that the successful repair XP restored my IE and I've had to update again, but he did not screw up the repair. I think that IEv7 was in use at the time. I am currently on IEv8.
My restore points do not rise close enough to fix all of this and the last one I tried (up to a point a week or so prior) failed. 3rd party patches registry improve some things, but not all.
I have the original disc of the 2002 version of the retail box. No download version. I was hoping to find one online as I did for S7 in my newsroom. For this installation, I bought a key provider of Microsoft and it worked fine.
Maybe I'll start a couple of new threads for specific problems.

Linked excel tables in InDesign CS5 update problems and keep the formatting: need help
I've been using excel to place several tables in my InDesign CS5 document which will require the update on a regular basis. The tables are already formatted in excel, so I will place in InDesign with formatting and you will usually have to reduce proportionally the tables as soon as they are in InDesign CS5. When I'll update the links, it is important the content of the tables as part of current text with larger text and I am unable to "Insert the picture content" or "shrink content proportionally." Nobody knows how to solve this problem or know of another way to link excel with formatting tables and update without having to reformat the table (i.e. to resize the image and text) every time that happens an update? Thank you!!
Can't do it, sorry. Tables only.

Moves from 2014 version to version 2015, considered an update? If this is not how to deploy the 2015 version and remove the 2014 version?
We currently have Adobe CC deployed on more than 4,000 computers, I am now looking to update installation on the newer versions that are 2015. If I create a new package it installs the latest but it also lets older versions of 2014.
Is there a way to delete the versions of 2014? Or can we update the versions of 2014 and 2015?
It's actually an upgrade.
If the two can exist side-by.
in the cc office application, there is an option to remove the older versions, but I don't know about the enterprise deployment. You should check the documentation of the company.

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.

My Adobe Acrobat widget does not work. Whenever I try to convert a webpage to PDF, a window opens saying that "any version of Acrobat can be found, install Acrobat 11.0.09 or update version to use the extension create PDFs.» I downloaded the latest version but iut still does not work. I use a MAC and Chrome as a browser.
Can you help me?
If you use Adobe Reader, you will not be able to create a PDF file. Adobe Reader cannot create a PDF file, modify/edit the content of a PDF page or export the contents of a PDF page.
For those, you must use Acrobat or one of Adobe's online subscription services.

910219. how to download and keep the Windows Update files?
Hello
What is the ideal way to update Windows? now, Windows downloads the selected updates. where? I do not know! and after their installation, it removes the packages for installation on my computer. This causes the downloaded updates are lost, and I can't use them to similar machines that need to install the same updates. for these machines, I have to download updates again! This causes my internet to be charged again while it is not really necessary.
the ideal way, in my view, is that I can specify a folder for the Windows Update service. It can use a default folder for that also. After selecting the updates, I want to install in my system, it checks to see if the update is already existing in the folder. only if NOT it downloads. then after downloading it maintains the package in the same folder after installing. installation should be done automatically as it is done now. Then I can move the folder to another machine. in the second machine, I also choose the update I want to be installed which are mostly the same as the first machine. for example, Windows Update only consumes my internet traffic for updates that are not yet downloaded. I wonder why Windows Update doesn't currently work the same way?
by this method, I can at least use the consumption of traffic and I can access the latest updates with the easier and faster way. I I would like to choose a memory flash for this purpose and keep the folder inside.
is there a way to achieve this?

Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
By design, the game is not compatible with windows7.
You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.
I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.
