Save my computer while Microsoft will allow me to use this computer
I'm with the program of warrior of woundered at Walter reed hospital. They gave me a laptop Dell Inspiron with windows xp. He worked for a few weeks and it stopped in the middle of an emnail in Iraq. It now comes with license error and all licenses to date. I work with it, but it won't allow me. best buy said I need to contact thank you reenstatement to have my work computer once more. Can you please allow me to have my laptop. I'm in * address email is removed from the privacy *.
Once xp is activated through microsoft servers, the license to use the OS is active for the life of the computer, unless the OS is uninstalled from the computer. When it is uninstalled the o.s. is disabled and the license is open for use on another computer.
In addition, if the computer you have received had installed xp recently within the last 30 days and it has not been activated / license, then you would have received nag reminders on your desktop on the activation of your operating system
In addition, since you have a laptop, its hard disk probably has a partition hidden with your files retrieved on it. The hidden restore partition has your windows xp configuration files that can be used to install the laptop to its factory condition. The method is called restore factory and the product key for your machine must be on a sticker of halographic under the laptop.
So, it looks like you have another problem that is not related to the license for your xp...
The question now is if your laptop has a sticker with the code key of the product on this subject.

I went to the store to buy a copy of Windows 7. When I got home, I realized it was the OEM 64-bit edition. I already opened and installed. I just noticed that I should use the copy that I am not a seller of computer retail. Microsoft will allow me to return the OEM and get a copy retail or I have to buy the disc at retail? I'll be money for theOEM. I guess I should have ask a seller in the store, but they were all occupied. I installed it for someone else while they are mad at me. Can I do a system restore to solve the problem?
Original title: oem vs retail
There is nothing wrong with using an OEM copy, its identical to a retail license, just that he has a certain license terms. Considering that the retail licenses are rare and expensive right now, I'd work with OEM license. Microsoft ended sales at retail of Windows 7 in October 2013, while they carry a premium right now.
The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

How many times Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows
As the questions indicates how many times you can activate Windows Vista Business? I would like to know because I had to activate Windows 3 - 4 times on a course of 3 days. Is there a limit to the number of times where Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows on the same computer with the same configuration?
Thank you
Hi Victor,
The answer to your question would be both 'yes' and 'no '.
IIRC, there is a limit on the number of times your license can be activated via the Internet.
However, after the limit is reached, you can still call them for telephone activation.
(You will have to wait before the automated voice system to reach a real person tho)

Is there a limit to how many images Microsoft will allow me to have?
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
I'm sorry that still is not quite logical (or I am being stupid). Even with a backup 3rd party tool, you can have as many images you can store, but always as a single computer running. Even if you did a 100 images when you do the 101st the program does not know how many of the previous 100 still exists.

I have Windows 7 Enterprise (32 bit) installed with Office 2007. New machine. However, I am a trainer/support specialist and many of my clients have XP Microsoft Office 2002/2003, and I need to provide support. It would be much easier if I had XP and Office 2002/2003, but I know that Microsoft does not recommend the 2 versions on 1 PC. Windows Virtual PC is the solution?
Yes, that might work. You can install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, and then install Office 2002/2003 in the Virtual PC in Windows XP. You can then run the Office 2002/2003 programs in Virtual PC, or close the Virtual PC and run them in Windows 7 from all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode Applications . You can even have Office 2007 programs and 2002/2003 open at the same time in Windows 7. Boulder computer Maven

I want to open several tabs for the same Web site. 9.0 will allow me to do this?
I keep getting pop up windows to update to Firefox 9.0 because its faster etc. I look round and he tells me he asks me if I already have one open. I WANT THE SAME SITE OPENED IN SEVERAL TABS according to what I'm working on. Is it still possible with the updated version. IF this isn't the case, I don't want it, but none of the FAQ questions even thought my question.
When you enter a site in the URL/address bar and see the section "Switch to tab" in the drop-down menu, you can
- use ALT + ENTER to open the new tab (duplicate) anyway
- Use CTRL (CMD on OSX) + left click on the original tab and drag until you see an arrow under the point of rupture between the two tabs upward, then release the left button, then release the CTRL/CMD key to obtain a duplicate of the tab with all of its history (front/rear)
- Press the SHIFT key while an entry in the drop-down list is highlighted to disable 'Switch to the tab' and see the URL.
- Use the right arrow to select an element marked as switch to tab in the menu drop-down and copy the URL in the address bar.
- Open the URL in the current tab by using shift + enter on the highlighted entry.
- ALT + Enter open the URL highlighted in a new tab.
- Shift + enter opens the URL highlighted in the current tab.
- Cursor right copies the URL highlighted in the address bar where you want to change it.
You can install this add-on to completely disable "switch to tab": https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

The mail app on Surface RT will allow me to use my company in the same way as iOS email?
I use iOS on my ipad and iphone to access my e-mail account of the company via activesync, I am considering the purchase of a Surface but would like to know how decent, it will be. I intend to use it for work and the following tasks:
-Mail
-Powerpoint
-Excel
-WordDoes the surface grip of RT and to what extent? For the moment, I don't bother with something else than mail on the ipad but would like to throw my laptop hp if the surface could comfortably handle these tasks.
Yes, you are right. These 3 RT applications work together to provide the equivalent of the functionality provided by Outlook when the Surface RT is connected to Hotmail.com / Outlook.com / gmail.com etc.
I tried (badly) to point out that there is no application called Outlook that may be installed on Surface RT.
