should I have got windows xp with my operating system disk, I bought the xp system with code authenticticatioin

I bought a dual pentium with acer moniter windows home edition OS prossesor .should I got the new cd with my package?

Maybe and maybe not.  You should have been provided with some means to reinstall Windows on your machine should something bad happen.

If you have purchased an OEM machine (such as HP, Dell, E-machines brand name, etc.), in the old days, the manufacturer will provide a DVD to reinstall Windows.  More recently, they save the expense of the DVD and provide a recovery Partition on the hard drive that can be activated by pressing a key or combination of keys to the start screen very first from the switching on of the machine.  In addition, they generally provide a way for you to burn your own DVDs (only once) for use as a backup hard drive to go belly.  In any case, if you have an OEM machine, you should go to the manufacturer's Web site and download the manual for your computer.  Everything should be revealed it has appliqu' to your machine.

If you bought a PC to measure with a copy retail XP, then I would expect that you should have been provided with a DVD or instructions on how to make your own backup OS installation to reinstall Windows.

    should I have put windows 764-bit on this laptop - hp dv6000 2006 edition, came with xp? Dual processor 1.7, 2gbs ram

    Hi, Steve.

    My suggestion, because you do not know your exact model laptop, is to run the tool to scan the Crucial memory and it should tell you how your PC can take memory and how fast. I'm assuming that PC2-5300, based on your processor. PC2-6400 also works if it's cheaper to buy.  It will just downclock at low speed 667 MHz.

  • I want to install the version of the windows license, so can I have a windows license, I have install windows 7 with this key?

    I have the windows product key 7 with my computer dell laptop. in recent years my brother using the pirated version. now, I want to install the version of the windows license, so can I have a windows license, I have install windows 7 with this key?

    Original title: windows 7

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • Necessary recovery manager. I have hp Pavilion dm4-1222Tx Entertainment notebook, Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    Please help me to download the Recovery Manager. I have hp Pavilion dm4-1222Tx Entertainment notebook, Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Thank you

    Sorry, but HP only provides Manager HP recovery as part of the installation at the factory. HP doesn't provide downloads of the HP Recovery Manager and you may need to order recovery HP media to get the computer to a factory State. Please contact HP in your country / region via the Portal Support HP's worldwide to the order of HP recovery disks.

  • Incompatibility of printer Epson LQ-680 with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system

    Incompatibility of the printer Epson LQ-680

    I got a new machine (with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system).

    The new machine has a USB port, so I have to use a USB to PS/2 port.

    Incompatibility of the printer Epson LQ-680

    I got a new machine (with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system).

    Earlier I had been using an Epson LQ-680 with a serial cable.

    The new machine has a USB port, so I have to use a USB to PS/2 port.

    I installed the Energon USB but still cannot print.

    I read your post with a lot of attention. There seems to be some confusion on your part. I want to arrempt in order to clarify the information so that a good solution might be found for your needs.

    The Epson LQ-680 is a matrix printer with a print head 24 pins. It is designed to use a parallel port. This means that its computer interface conforms to the IEEE 1284 specification. This is often referred to as a Centronics parallel port. Series No.

    http://www.Epson.com/cgi-bin/store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&OID=14331&infoType=overview

    Thus, because your computer does not have a port for a direct connection, you must use a parallel to USB device.

    Not all of these devices are supported printers. Please check the specifications of the device that you use to connect your USB printer and confirm that it supports the printers. It is preferable that it supports bidirectional printing through the device. If it is not the case, getting the arrangements put in place for this printer could be a problem.

    Driver for printer:

    =================

    You did not mention whether your machine is a laptop or computer desk/workstration. If the latter, and if she will allow to install PCI cards or PCI-E, install a parallel port card would work more simply.

    If you want other help, please let us know the make and model of the parallel to USB device.

  • I just bought a new computer.it has windows 7 64 bit operating system, it is good with the exception of my call of duty games running, they used to run very well on my windows vista 32 bit system, what is the problem?

    There are video games that are compatible with windows 7 64 bit operating systems?

    Hello Peter.

    Yes almost all games in 10 years works perfectly on 64-bit Windows.  What Call of Duty games are you having problems with?  If the first two, you might have to enter the video drivers for your graphics card/computer manufacturer as the first two required OpenGL which is not included with the drivers that Windows uses by default (this has been the case since at least Windows XP).

    I'm on a mac. I have 2 different versions of mac operating systems running on 2 different hard disks, because of needs of customers with software compatibility. If I update a cc adobe programs in a single operating system hard drive system, it will affect older versions of programs cc in the other system of operating system hard drive?

    If, as you say, they are completely separate installations on separate hard disks, each with there own version of PS for example, there should be no way that they could interfere with each other! I assume you are using a form any of Boot Manager to load a specific version of Mac OS x?

    I did something similar at the start in a similar situation with client compatibility and not had a problem with either interfere with others!

    However, you share the programs somehow between different OS, so that would be another matter.

The excelreport.fp has been added to the Menu library customize to my other work on the project, which, but had similar problems. It seems CVI is getting better and better, so that you don't need extras like it was before. Do not add reduntant libs.
