Shipped with XP but has Vista Prdkey
I have a desktop computer customer purchased from DELL that has a tag Prdkey Vista but XP downgrade selected client when buying. Now I need to reload XP for the customer, but what I have is Vista PrdKey. Can I Pro Prdkey XP so I can reinstall?
If the current system is installed...
(1) if it is running? -use of Belarc advisor www.belarc.com - this will show the keys used for Office and Windows - check with MGADiag the key used is of the type COA_SLP or COA_NSLP, otherwise, you will need the XP from Dell recovery disks to reinstall.
(2) if the system is not in running, but still present, start with a BartPE or UBCD disk and see if they can remove her key-unfortunately you can't tell what kind of key, that is.

Transfer Vista Business on XP Pro computer.
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/laptopIf 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.

Original title: igfx display driver
I keep getting a message "the igfx display driver has stopped responding but has recovered. A few times, it goes to a blue screen. I'm not playing games when that happens. My history of problem says it is a LiveKernelEvent with a Bcc Code of 117. It began in May 2010 and continues. I checked my driver and it is updated, or so it is said. There must be some type of conflict. All solutions?
This might work, keep in mind this is a templete response
Problem: something which called TDR auditor monitors for computer hardware, particularly the GPU, is tell the GPU constantly meet with computer for 2 seconds checker TDR restarts the driver. The TDR auditor has been good on paper but does not work in the real world. as a gpu may stop responding when he works hard.
Issue since the time of vista, this is why this problem virually never happened on XP
Here is the solution
Exit all Windows-based programs.
Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then double-click regedit.exe from the above results. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002 (sometimes called ControlSet001) \Control\GraphicsDriversOn the Edit menu, click New, and then select the following registry value in the menu drop-down specific to your version of Windows (32-bit or 64-bit):
For 32-bit Windows
Select DWORD (32-bit) value.
Type TdrDelay as the name, and then press ENTER.
Double-click on TdrDelay and add 8 to the value data and click OK.For 64-bit Windows
Select QWORD (64-bit) value.
Type TdrDelay as the name, and then press ENTER.
Double-click on TdrDelay and add 8 to the value data and click OK.Close the registry editor, and then restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
This puts a delay on the auditor of tdr of 8 seconds, so the gpu may stop responding for 10 seconds, this usually fixes the problem, if you are still suffering from this problem (after a reinstall of the drivers or updates, you know this annoying driver stuff)
To do this, do the same thing but instead of the 'TdrDelay' 'TdrLevel' type, enter the value data as 0 (it is on natively, but check) and then delete the TdrDelay.Restart
Which turns off completely Tdr checker, so windows now 7/vista/8 now works more like windows XP

I have a laptop that was originally shipped with Vista Business. He was then recharged to Windows XP. I am trying to reload Windows Vista but I only have a Vista installation disc Home premium and the activation code for Enterprise edition is not be accepted. Is it possible to download the Enterprise edition or get a new activation code?
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 $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
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

Recently, my MacBook Pro with retina display has started to run out of memory, so I moved all my downloads and stuff in my external hard drive. After the transfer, I had some good 20 GBs free and my folder all my files to completely empty.
But even now when I go into storage under the about this Mac information, it shows that more 1 GB of audio files, about 800 MB of photos and 500 MB of movies.
Using the search option (and put a black space in the search bar), I discovered a few files in the Mac section, but they were barely a few MBs in size, and no audio or images or movies were present there.
Where are all these "hidden audio, photographs and films that take about 3 GB of space from my hard drive? I am naïve.
Here is my overview of the system:

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

This view will be incorrect until the Spotlight indexing your drive. In addition, it is only an effort to classify the files types are known by their file extension. Thousands of files on the computer, however, will only be classified as 'Other' because they did not have a type that falls into one of five or six available categories. If you want an accurate display of disk space then: press command-I to open the window read the information. In the top panel is a visualization of the status of your drive: capacity, used and available. It's everything you need to know. If you want information on the types of files and their location, and then use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper or GrandPerspective.

I have a 6 s with Verizon iPhone. Can I send/receive calls (using this service and calls on other devices functionality) on my iPhone 5s, who was with AT & T service, but has no service now since I switched to Verizon?
Note: I'm able to get two phones to ring with an incoming call, but the 5s consist not out. Whenever I dial a number, it says call failed.
Do not dial a number. Try to choose a contact in the contacts App and tapping on telephone button.
That said, I don't think that outgoing calls work on continuity since another iPhone. given that the iphone is designed to make calls through its own service.
Document to support that you just did not mention calls from a secondary iPhone at all, it points to Mac, iPad and iPod touch, which leads me to believe that it won't work.
It runs from devices such as iPads and Macs, who have no other way to place a cell call.

OEM, pre-installed Dell, HP, etc. as well as Microsoft OEM System Builders licenses are non-transferable to another computer. They are tied to the computer first they are installed on the.
Retail licenses are transferable. Remember that a single installation is allowed at a time.

after update to XP media center units Vista remote control
Just upgraded to Vista Home Premium to XP. Got a Packard Bell with RF for the Media Center remote control, worked fine with XP, but is no longer compatible with Vista. I checked the usb driver for the usb XF-10 rf remote receiver and it is fine, uninstalled and reinstalled it. Handset was working fine a few days ago. I also went in 'Administrator', 'services' and then active HID, but it still does not work. Media works well, but it would be nice to have the operation of the remote control! Not particularly computer, simply suggestions please! Thank you, Nick.Hi Nicolas,
I suggest you to check the battery. Additionally, make sure that you have installed the right drivers for you Consumer IR Port.
