repair or reload XP Pro

If you need repair or reload microsoft XP Pro, you must use the original disc of XP Pro, or you can use any disk XP Pro as long as you have the serial number of the original disc?

To "repair" the XP CD must be in the same Service Pack level surface than the installed version of Windows.

For versions of Windows "Retail" no matter what disk XP Pro allows you to reinstall and activate Windows XP.

    The way you are supposed to handle this situation is to use the recovery Partition HP (which may or may not produce the equivalent of a clean installation. Here again, this could work only if you put the original motherboard or EXACT in the PC replacement. You should check your documentation. If you can't find it, check the HP website. (But I think there will probably be a problem given that the motherboard has been changed).

    Hi Guyston,

    Thanks for posting. Is it possible to test your drive in another PC to see if it is bootable. If it is bootable into another PC, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC or motherboard. They will be able to provide you, the troubleshooting steps in the BIOS to set your boot CD issue.

  • Need of repair for CD-rom update on Satellite Pro L20

    Hello
    Is there anywhere I can download a repair manual for Satellite Pro L20 that I just bought a dvdrw drive & want to adapt it myself

    TIA

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you won't find manuals repair on the Toshiba site. Only Toshiba service partners have such documents and the ability to use laptop manuals.
    As far as I know, the reader is fixed with a screw that is placed at the bottom of the unit and under the keyboard.
    After the withdrawal of these two screws, you can disconnect an optical drive to the connector on the system board.

    But without any experience, you must remove all readers. I think you should ask the service of Toshiba for help because he has more experience in such cases

  • Export function encloses Pre Pro

    Hi all

    Yesterday everything worked fine... I could export Pre Pro and FLV files. Today when I try the same Pre Pro crashes. I can use again but not export (in the media...). When I close Pre Pro via the Task Manager start a couple of times, Pre Pro stops the opening and I have to restart the computer so that it opens.

    I tried to reload pre Pro CS4 (CS4 Web Premium already loaded) of the disc but the charging does not end?

    As most of you know it's frustrating and I would appreciate any advice...

    Thank you

    Randy

    Randy,

    When something works one day, but not the other, then something has changed. The task is to find out what has changed.

    Sometimes it's something as an update OS killing a video or audio driver (very common) and sometimes it is the addition of a program, which has VST, including "the instrument" VST. Sometimes, simple hardware additions can kill things.

    Have you tried going to a System Restore Point previous, at the time where things worked well? It would be the first thing I would try.

    Next course of action would be to do a repair of the Adobe programs Installation, in which case a .dll file or another file, has been broken or damaged.

    There was also a fairly recent thread about a user, who tried a FLV export. That failed, and it seemed that the failure sprayed something in PrPro. Don't know what this poster ended up, but think that they do not solve the problem. You can search this forum for this thread. I'd look for similar keywords, as appear in your title. I think I have commented on this thread and think bad Millaard and Jeff Bellune would have, as well. If you have no luck with just keywords, maybe throw in people and choose Harm, Jeff and me. Wish I could remember this thread more clearly, but I think that there are some similarities.

    Above all, good luck.

  • Slow MacBook Pro

    Hi, I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro that has been very slow in the past two years. The computer is still usable and I use it every day, but I want to fix the problem.

    I thought that this could be a RAM problem, so I bought new Rams from different brands, but none of them worked (I read online that Apple computers can be a little picky when it comes to brands of RAM).

    I am currently based in the Dominican Republic, where it is very difficult to find an Apple Retail Store or a person capable and authorized to perform a repair on my MacBook Pro. I'll be back in Italy in October, and I'll get assistance here. My question is: I think that my computer needs new RAM (I currently have installed 2x2gb and I would install 2 x 4 GB), but it is possible that there is something else I need to know? Maybe the problem somewhere else? I scanned the computer several times and nothing came. I would like to know if there is a way for me to make sure that the RAM is the real problem and not something else. I know that I am the owner of an old computer, but it never gave me any problems in addition to be very slow in the past two years. Sometimes it works perfectly, and sometimes it's almost impossible to do anything.

    I enclose the screenshots that can be useful. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 leaking blue ink.

    I'm trying to disassemble the printer to gain access to the rear of the cartridge that assembles. I'm unable to remove the side panel of the case. Advice or suggestions appreciated! If I find the leak at the back of the Assembly, is - this repairable?

    Hello Keith,

    I just finsihed a repair of my Officejet Pro 8500

    At first, I did not see also all the tubes have been pinched as suggested by Ciara, however, the black and magenta tubes were damaged near/behind the sled print head. I think that they have abandoned their guides and am stuck on several occasions by the sled.

    To fix it, I used pieces of wire insulation I pasted above the damaged area. I have documented the repair with images and some instructions, but unfortunately, I can not attach the file here. If you do not empty your printer, you can have a go... don't take too long. Send me an email and I will send you the PDF document.

    Here is a picture of the repaired area:

    Hello. You can replace the battery yourself by following the instructions in the link below. If your MacBook doesn't look like the one illustrated in the provided link, go to your Apple Store closest to have the battery replaced by Apple (you can always have the battery replaced by an Apple Store after your warranty is over, you will just need to pay out of pocket for repairs).

  • Problems with sound: XP Pro, SP3

    Hello experts:

    I'm at my wits end. I can't get my sound to work after a charging system.

    I did this:

    -Re-partitioned, formatted my hard drive.  Loading XP Pro, SP3. Had no problems.

    -Loading the appropriate drivers, including AC 97 Audio Realtek and Realtek high Definition Audio Driver.

    Current state:

    -Control Panel, sounds and Audio devices: "Volume", not "No audio device" tab, all gray. "The audio tab, no device, all gray." Tab Voice", all gray. "Material" tab, everything is listed, in order to include the Realtek High Definition Audio. Also listed are the "Audio Codecs", "Media control devices", "Legacy Audio Drivers", "Video Codecs.

    -Control Panel, administrative tools, Services, Windows Audio: "on the road", "automatic".

    -My computer, hardware, Manager of devices, "audio, video, and game controllers.  Everything is there. This is the same list as above to include the Realtek High Definition Audio.  There is no yellow marker.

    -My computer, hardware, peripherals, reviews, hidden devices Manager: there is a yellow marker on the icon 'Serial '. When I right click on this icon, it looks for material changes.  No change of material found and the yellow marker remains on the icon of the series.

    -Volume control: when I click on the volume control icon, "there are no active mixer devices. Go to control panel, click Printers (huh?) and other devices and then click Add Hardware. When I do that it can not find NEW hardware, but it does not list the same elements as above to include Realtek High Definition Audio.  The volume control is a 'single '.  I remember well he was a multi balance settings with other cursor.  Don't know if that makes a difference.

    -BIOS: I have the latest update for my processor.

    So, I'm hunting my tail here.

    About five years ago, I remember having the same problem when I did the same thing: partition / format / reload XP Pro / SP3.  AND... I remember well, I ended up doing back SP3 to SP2.  I think that's what I did, but, in any case, I finally got the proper functioning...

    Clearly, I forgot something.

    Computer for this purpose.

    Comments and more useful insight.  Thank you...

    Hello

    I suggest check the chipset on the computer drivers to update, by contacting the manufacturer of the computer, check to see if it helps.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 1: Turn on the Audio device in BIOS

    (a) turn on your computer and access your BIOS settings. The key of the keyboard in question varies according to the manufacturer of the motherboard. In general, the key to the BIOS is disclosed at the bottom of the screen during the Power-on Self Test process. Access usually consists of the F1, F2, F10 or delete key.

    (b) go to the 'Advanced' in the BIOS section. Go to the 'Onboard' or 'Device Configuration' option by pressing "Enter". The sound settings are usually under "Audio Controller" or any other similar configuration related to the sound.

    (c) press 'Enter' to turn on or off the sound setting at hand. Note that these options vary according to the motherboard, even if they are the default settings that are programmed into a computer's BIOS.

    (d) press F10 to save and exit the new settings.

    Method 2: Uninstall the audio codes and drivers installed

    (a) open Control Panel and double-click the system icon.

    (b) select the hardware, and then click the Device Manager button.

    (c) add to the list "Sound, video and game controllers". Double-click the Audio Codecs or video Codecs item to display a list of the installed codec.

    (d) select one of the codecs and either remove this codec from the system or turn it off.
    Note: To be on the safe side, always create a system restore point before removing or reinstalling the codecs.

    (e) restart the computer and check if that helps.
