  I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

• How can I get Microsoft Train Simulator to work on my computer with Vista?

  Hello
  I installed Train Simulator on my computer with Vista about two years ago and I was never able to make it work. The game installed on my computer, but whenever I click on it to play it will work out fine until it gets to the main menu of the game page, then it will just completely freeze and stop working. I've tried everything to run I tried to run in Computability with Windows XP mode and it will still do the same thing, I even tried to uninstall and reinstall the game and who does not either because it will freeze just when the window displaying the initialization of the installation or uninstall initialization program opens and it's the end of this. If its basically as I installed it on my computer but I can't do anything with it I can't play, I can't try to fix it and I can't even uninstall it. So is my question possible that maybe I can get Train Simulator to work properly on my computer?
  Thank you!

  If it freezes completely like that, it may be a hardware conflict any.  I heard similar things regarding the sound card drivers.  I would check to make sure that you have the latest audio drivers on your computer and also make sure your graphics drivers.  Usually your machine must not only freeze whatever the program itself, unless you have a driver problem.

  Notes I've read, people get the game to work by mode of compatibility you tried (even if some have used Windows 95 and not XP compatible) and at the launch of the game, they choose "Run as Administrator" by clicking on the launcher and choosing it.

  Try and see if you have a little better chance

• If I bought a computer with windows 8 is already installed (windows 8 sucks) can I uninstall it and install windows 7

  If I bought a computer with windows 8 is already installed (windows 8 sucks) can I uninstall it and install windows 7? Windows 8 has to be the worst software ever. It is like going back to the iceage of computers. The LAGS and timing on is horrible. I expect right cruse, that she does not exist. It's like a person driving a car with their foot constantly on the brake.

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

• Computer with Vista unable to connect to the internet through two computers with Windows 7.

  Dear engineers,

  In our House, we have two new computers Windows 7 connect to Wired internet access.  Our friend came in hoping to play some MMO games with us on our connection (it has windows vista).  When we hung everything upward, by linking to our modem, his computer was visible on my husbands computer, but was visible on mine as a media device.  He could see the two computers, but could not get an internet connection and no viable ping.  We checked the network map and he showed my computer with one? related to my husband then connected to the internet.  Inside, there was an announcement indicating that the following devices are not displayed in the network map.  under of course was listed both our friends media device and the computer device.  I searched Control Panel and gave access to anyone on the login to my husbands system as long as me.  What happens if nothing else can I try to have its system you can connect to our internet?

  Thank you for your attention,

  Cerisea

  Hello

  If a computer is not properly visible it generally means that sharing is not set correctly to match your system.

  You must also set your computers with the computer account of the friend as a user on your computer.

  Everyone does not mean everyone wishing to connect.

  If the accounts are presented only for John, Jill and Jack, setting in the folder with all permissions saves the effort of definition permission separately for John, Jill and Jack.

  Everyone isn't everyone group, only John, Jill and Jack.

  In general.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  Win 7 networking with other version of Windows as a work network.

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  Vista file and printer sharing - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

  -------------

  If you have authorization and security problems, check the following settings.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  * Note . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not mean everyone who feel they would like to connect.

  As for your 2nd question about the updates of Windows - Win 7 If you run Norton, you might have a problem. It can accept updates for Vista, but when you upgrade to Windows 7 it does not updates allow.

• How to see the information about the guarantee of a Toshiba product that is already registered?

  Hi all

  I work for a company that has some Toshiba laptops. One of them has broken screen image, and I would check if the warranty period is still valid. I think Yes, because the warranty period is three years, and the laptop was purchased in September 2013.

  The problem is that when I try to register the product (https://www.toshiba.es/registration/registration-form/), presents "the serial number of the product it is already registered" (attached), I think that we have already registered the product in 2013.

  So the question is, could, I check if the warranty is still valid in some way?

  Kind regards
