• Windows.Old folder after the installation of Windows 8 Pro?

  Can I remove the windows.old folder after Windows 8 Windows 7 installation? I deleted this folder when I installed Windows 7 from Vista.

  I used the facility for a few weeks now, and everything works fine. I wanted to just make sure I can delete these files. Can I save the folder to an external drive for guard duty; I just to free up hard drive space.

  Thanks for your help... Phil Springer

  Hi Phil

  Here are the steps to delete the Windows.old folder.

  Go to the desktop, press Windows key + R.

  In the Run dialog box, type cleanmgr.exe, and click OK.

  1. If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have Windows installed on and then click OK.

  2. in the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click on clean up system files.

  If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

  3. Select the Previous Windows installations check box and any other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

  4. click on delete files.

• I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

  I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

  My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

  Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

  Thank you

  Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

  If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

  I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

  Thank you much for the help...

  Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

  Thank you

• Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

  Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

  Scenario is,

  1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

  2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

  3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

  WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

  Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

  My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

  Kindly help with this problem.

  Host operating system: Victoire 2012 R2

  The VM OS: win 10 x 64

  Thank you!!

  Dear all,

  I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

  VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

• Use the installer of the cartridges

  I just got this printer HP Deskjet advantage 5525

  When I put the ink supplied with the printer, this message on the printer screen says 'Use INSTALLATION Cartage'! (Please use the INSTALLATION supplied with your printer cartridges)

  In fact, I put the orginal.

  Installation cartridges are used for initial installation, after using the ink you would replace them with standard supplies.

  If the cartridges that came in the box didn't work, I would say the troubleshooting steps described in the paper here.  If this does not resolve the issue, I suggest you contact HP to service.

• Manually configure the client 11 essbase (without using the Installer)

  Hi all
  
  is it possible to install the Essbase 11 client without using the installation program?
  I tried to copy the 'bin' and 'regional settings' directory of an existing facility and put in place the variable of environment ARBORPATH - without success.
  
  I missed something? Maybe some registry entries? Or is it not possible to manually configure the essbase client?
  
  Any response would be appreciated.
  
  See you soon,.

  In 11.1.2.x, you can get a separate installer for essbase spread spreadsheet add-in.
  Simply, you can run that as we do in version 9.

  Hi Matt,

  This forum is for MSE who cannot restrict access of Web site you want.

  One of the possible methods that comes to mind uses the Parental http://www.windows-help-central.com/parental-controls-in-windows-xp.html may control with Windows Live Family Safety http://explore.live.com/windows-live-family-safety?os=other (according to the version of XP and whether or not you have a workgroup or domain LAN).  When you set up, allow *.gov, but reject all other types you can imagine (I don't think there is a way to allow only .gov, but you can exclude most if not all of the other busiest - check domain name registrars to get a list of options).  If you use a domain, way to go would be with a custom domain group policy to restrict access on all of the network (except perhaps the server or individuals of special category in Active Directory if you want).

  If that is not the case, and I think it might, please repost your question in the following forum to get the expert assistance you need: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking?page=1&tab=all.

• Were all my old favorites restored when I used the patch 'places.sqlite.old '?

  I got the error message: "the bookmarks and history system won't be functional because one of the files of Firefox is used by another application. Some security software can cause this problem"and that by using the following steps (Solution 2) fix: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional

  So I was able to get my favorites from back but not my browsing history (is there sort to recover by the way?), but I'm not sure I'll be back all my favorites backup. Is it possible to see when my backup was last updated can I be sure that I got all my favorites back? I don't have my favorites anything in a long time so I can't look at the latest at the bottom of the list.

  Yes, you should be ok with bookmarks. It is always advisable to make backups manually (or some automated method), because if ever the profile is corrupted, or lost you lose to them.

  As you have learned that it is better to mark something important, rather than relying on what it is in the history.

• Cannot use the installer for Officejet 6500 all-in-one because of the resolution of the screen

  Hello

  I thought I could install my new Officejet 6500 as a printer network during the weekend, but apparently, HP had a different opinion...

  I use a netbook for my work as I travel a lot. Unfortunately, the screen resolution max available for these computers to wide screen is "limited" to 1024 x 576, which is less than the minimum required by the installation software (800 x 600), so I can't just install drivers and software. I tried to download the drivers from the HP support site, but ran into the same problem again.

  I'd appreciate any help I don't have a desktop or a laptop with a ratio of the 'normal' view and I'm stuck with a machine that is "useless"...

  Thanks a lot in advance!

  Yes. When you get to the window system requirements check, click the button cancel while now the keys Ctrl + Shift. It will bypass the sys. Req. check and continue with the installation. You may need to do this several times for the installation to continue.
