• I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

  I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

  Hello

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

  Method 1

  Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

  This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

  (a) minimal (b) network (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell) For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems RESOLUTION (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG (b) click the Boot.ini tab (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems] (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT (e) click OK (f) restart Windows The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

  Method 2:

  If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "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 you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
  John

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro

  The computer is a homemade which ran from win xp pro for several years. I installed win 8 trial knowing that it would take a new installation of XP Pro after the expiration of the 8 victory. I have reset my bios on a cd first and started in the installation cd after installing win xp, it went to boot, and the cd has been removed. a restart was launched and he went into the bios to save install and after the robot below the windows splash logo made 3 passes, he stopped at halfway. After this is is spent in attempts to bppting I noticed that whenever the start stopped he left the Num lock, cap lock, and scroll liux lights were all on on the keyboard. I traded my keyboard with one of my current computer and it always occurres. I started to reload several times now and always the same. No bios settings have helped.

• How to activate Windows XP after the installation of repair when you cannot connect to Normal startup.

  I got XP Home SP2 OEM installed on an AMD machine and the power supply is dead.
  I have a P4, I prefer to use in any case, I moved the hard drives of the AMD machine to machine P4.  Of course, XP wouldn't boot.
  Without saving anything, I performed a repair installation (under the installer, not Recovery Console).
  Everything seemed ok, but eventually, I restarted XP and a message box informed me that I could not connect until I had activated XP.
  Unfortunately, I can not run the Activation Assistant because I can not connect.

  I found that I could start the computer Safe Mode / command prompt and could then start Windows Explorer from the command line.
  I followed some advice I found online: I extracted wpa.dbl drive OEM installation and copied in the folder Windows\System32 and rebooted.  Nothing apparently changed; "" I still couldn't log mode "normal".
  I restarted mode safe mode / command prompt, began to Windows Explorer and installed XP SP3.

  Now I can connect mode safe mode without network but cannot connect with networking.  Normal mode is not yet available.

  When I try to start 'normally', the saying that I need to activate before I can connect message.  If I say 'Yes' to 'Activate now?', the background of the desktop appears (my own shows JPG) - but that's all.  The mouse cursor is there, but I have found no way to access all the features after it.

  I need suggestions for possible patches that will avoid the need to reinstall completely.

• the configuration after the installation of forms 11g has not

  I think that Windows 7 is supported as a developer box. This means that you can install EM and other components of the system.
  Simply select forms & reports execution time and builder and your configuration must go through the fine.
  >
  In fact, forms 11g is the only version of forms/States manufacturers certified for Windows 7. The key is to open the properties of the SETUP.exe and select "Run this program in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP2" and change the settings for virtual memory (VM) to manual and specify a setting of at least 1024 MB VM. The Oracle installer cannot detect the settings of the virtual machine when Windows automatically manages the parameters of the virtual machine. After you have properly installed and configured WLS and forms/States, you can change the setting of the virtual machine to run Windows.

  I'm install forms 11g for reason to use shapes and generating reports and I have no need for forms or States >
  If you plan to run a form or a report of builders, then you need to forms and reports Services installed and configured successfully. If you do not have to run a form or a State of builders, so it is not important for these services must be configured.

  I didn't OID or a proxy server
  I have install weblogic, forms and reports to the same machine >
  After installing Weblogic Server (WLS), blew the WLS configuration? If you have run the configuration, it is probably the reason for the failure of 11g Oracle Fusion Middleware (OFM) configuration. According to Oracle install instructions for OFM 11 g, you ignore the configuration of WLS, as 11 configuration process g of BCI will perform all the necessary configuration for WLS and BCI. (Take a look at the document My Oracle Support: how to install Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.1 / 11.1.1.2 reports only [854117.1 ID] for detailed installation instructions and forms).

• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

  Thank you for your time,

  Option 1) close all applications and restart your system. Move the subfolder with the LR CC catalog convert file and file Previews on your desktop or any other folder outside of the Lightroom folder. The Lightroom file should then contain the file catalog Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 5 Previews catalog folder. Launch of LR CC and try to restart the conversion of catalogue LR 5. When he invites you on the catalog choose the option manually select a catalog. Navigate to the folder with your LR 5 catalogue and file Previews. It should detect while she has need of conversion and repeat the process.

  Option 2) If this does not work I suggest to try the same procedure using your backup file of the most recent catalog LR 5. Move the file to LR 5 catalog current folder AND found in a separate subfolder outside of the Lightroom folder. Copy the catalog LR 5 backup file and relaunch LR 5 (not CC). This will cause LR 5 to create a new folder of previews. Confirm that the new Lightroom 5 catalog Previews folder was created using the Finder or Windows Explorer. LR 5. close and restart LR CC.
