buy a bigger hard drive for Vista
60GBs was always too small
hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk
Search for information on this subject on their Web site
If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move
read the information below
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html
or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software
link below is an example of this:
http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html
also to put your machine how you bought:
1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition
You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive
ask the manufacturer of the machine how
2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Replacement for LiveCycle Designer
I learned recently from a customer who is Adobe () will replace LiveCycle Designer with a new program and it will have to redo all their forms with this new program, and that they would use rather a contractor who is familiar with this new program.
Whereas, I followed what happens with LiveCycle, I hardly believe that there is a new program that Adobe will come out with as a replacement for LiveCycle Designer ES4.
Someone from Adobe could confirm or deny the existence of this new program. My opinion is that the new management wants to change contactors just and that it is not honest.
Kind regards
Martin
It is completely wrong. There is no replacement for LiveCycle Designer ES4 and you won't have to redo you forms in another tool. Designer will continue to exist and be improved. As you may know, we had just one major release in March and a service pack release in September that includes updates to designer.
Please contact me with a private message where you heard that. I would like to reach out to your source and set the record straight.
Thank you

I own CS5.5 Design Standard (Dutch version) for Windows. I consider to switch to Mac. I do use the platform change option to replace CS5.5 Design Standard for Mac?
If Yes, how should I do this?
If not, what are my options for not having to buy a new version complete for Mac?

The platform swaps apply only to the current versions. Buy the CS6 upgrade and make the platform switch.

To receive a replacement for notebook Probook 4530 s guarantee with the following defects?
Hello
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
With about a month to guarantee rest yet, I was wondering if I could get a replacement for laptop to my HP ProBook 4530 s.
When I got it, it's in very good condition, after almost a year of use, the optical dvd player case is sometimes a bit loose and one of the keys on the keyboard relaxes and I would have to fix it and hang it in the keyboard frequently. In addition, sometimes one or two of the USB Hubs would not read my flash drive but other ports would be strange. While this is happening in only a few flash drives and all 4 USB Hubs are still functional. Finally, sometimes my laptop keyboard may lock up randomly but my mouse pad would continue to operate, which means that I have to restart the laptop to make it work again. Even after installing the updates and even Flash my BIOS, I always have this problem from time to time during the execution of certain applications, including the computer games from Valve, but never expericened before running programs. This problem would happen frequently as well. I was wondering if all these problems would be enough to get a replacement. Thank you.
Kind regards

Fix for KB 2470478 Vista install-Setup has encountered an error: 0xc8000222
original title: hotfix for KB 2470478 Vista will not install
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion Elite Notebook DV7t-1000 running Vista Home Premium SP2 with all updates installed. To replace my original factory now too small hard drive, I installed a Western Digital Scorpio Black 750 GB hard drive (model number WD7500BPKT). With the help of Acronis True Image Home 2011, I restored the original scores of my system disk (disk Local C: and D: HP_RECOVERY) factory on the new drive.
The transfer of my system partition and recovery to the new drive more big seems to succeed. The system booted normally and my Office and Windows installations reported to be installed correctly. But when I checked Windows Update, the system reported that the service was not available and offered to restart. I restarted but still, the service reported that it was not available.
I predicted that this behavior could happen and that he had prepared for her. In my research for the upgrade of my hard drive, I had learned that my new HDD is an 'Advanced Format drive"that uses a sector size of 4K rather than the traditional 512 K sector size. The Microsoft Knowledge Base contains several articles on this issue and the specific article for Windows Vista is 2470478 KB. Following the tips in this article, I waited until what the symptoms of a problem appeared until I tried to install the patch. Disabling the Windows Update service was one of the symptoms that I was looking for.
The file from the hotfix associated with this Knowledge Base article is a .zip file only when it is extracted product a file called 'Windows6 '. 0-KB2470478-x 86.msu. However, when I try to run this file, I get the following error report: "Setup has encountered an error: 0xc8000222. I tried to turn off my antivirus Norton and restart the system, but all attempts to install this fix have the same error.
Outside waiting for Microsoft to formalize this fix as an update (part of Vista SP3?) someone has suggestions to make the installation of this hotfix to succeed? While I did not check for other errors related to this problem, my situation of upgrading to the new drive convinced me that my problem is the one indicated in the Knowledge Base article. My original Esent.dll files are significantly older than those reported in the patches section. When I replaced the new drive with my original Windows Update drive normally.
Outside of reboot or turn off the antivirus protection, someone has suggestions to work around the error to install 0xc8000222 in order to safely install the patch file (. Windows6 0-KB2470478-x 86.msu) for the Microsoft article 2470478 Knowledge Base?
Thank you for your response.
I followed the advice in this thread by adjusting to make it use the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821), rather than tool for Windows 7. When I tried to run the tool I met the same problem when I tried to install the hotfix: error installing 0xc8000222.
Because I had the same problem to install the tool on to Windows Vista after I had moved the image of my old drive to the new drive, I saw two choices. See 1) file a journal report as suggested in the thread of Technet or 2) if I could install the hotfix on my original hard drive and then rebuild the disk image for installation on the new hard drive for Advanced formatting.
After you set a system restore on my source drive point, I chose to install the patch and rebuild the disk image. For security reasons, I installed upgrading preparation system tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) beforehand. When I restored the image of the disk on my new advanced Format drive software seems behaves normally. Windows Update works now and Windows and Microsoft Office indicate that they are enabled. This solved my problem. I also notice a nice increase startup speed on my new drive system.
The instructions on the fix should not use unless the problem appeared, that I interpreted to mean do not install it on the new Advanced Format HDD unless I saw a problem. However, once I saw the problem, I couldn't install this hotfix or any other Windows Update. Indeed the files included in the fix has featured several hardware drivers rather than standard system software.
A problem with my approach, is that I had the luxury to regenerate my disk image after the installation of the hotfix. If one is obliged to restore a backup image to due to hardware failure, I don't believe that, after copying the disk image on one of these new Advanced Format drives, we could install the hotfix or the update of all other windows. The fix needs to be improved to the point that it is a standard part of Vista. I'm pretty sure that Microsoft is already planning to do.
My system works, though if you think it would help, I could always point out my logs in a location of Skydrive for people of Technet.

We currently have a HP OfficeJet J6400 all-in - One Printer. It works very well and we are happy with it. However, our platforms are changing. We have two iPads, iPhones and iPods. We need to migrate a printer of Air in order to make best use of our technology. It's a pain to have to send something to another platform (laptop computer) and print it.
My question is, which HP with Air Print would be a good replacement for the J6400. We always want all the features of an all-in-One.
Thank you
Jim
Hello jghannah
To get a list of AirPrint printers check the right side of the this page.
Personally, I think that's the Officejet 6500 has more or the Officejet Pro 8600 would be perfect for your upgrade. They share a similar design to that of the 6400 Officejet series. They get all Airprint. For a good comparison between them, see the following link: Officejets with Airprint comparison

Replacement for trust Mac Pro early 2008
Hello
Looking for a replacement for my very reliable and expandable Mac Pro early 2008. I got it in 2009 after the death of my PC and on the eve of Apple, highlighted the 2009 model.
Looking for a replacement and do not know whether to go for high spec 27 "iMac or Mac Pro. Welder instead of videographer professional seriousness. All I get will be faster than the current Mac Pro despite many improvements over the years.
Thank you
Matt
As an amateur, I think you should seriously consider any movement until the 2009 model or later. Same factor form except the processor and RAM are on a shelf at the bottom of the Cabinet.
They are faster because of some of the architecture changes, accept more RAM and still have the PCIe slots that allow you to add upgrades.

iPhone 6 started flickering and unresponsive: how many replacement for a new
My iphone started to blink and does not, I have help allowed in my country and don't have a solution, I have no guarantee and they charged me R $1500 for a new, approximately $400. But I go to the United States next month and would like to know how much it costs to replace here. I googled hours on this subject, but I have not found the price.
Unless you bought the device in the United States, you will not be able to get a replacement here. A warranty replacement is performed only if guaranteed is done, the country of purchase. You will need to do the out of warranty Exchange in the country you bought the phone. One off replacement for the iPhone warranty 6 will be about $299. It is the American price, you must convert it to your location.
