So is this correct, that you cannot make an own episode (8)?

I am curious with this discount version 8 upgrade windows that Microsoft provides to anyone who bought before the PC since June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013. not able to make an own episode? Or better yet we can make a clean slice? Is this Microsoft offer provides an OEM version upgrade. This version is what exact type software? Link before you know what I mean.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows/upgrade-offer

So in a Word, it must keep its intact original OS to install the upgrade version? Older versions of Windows upgrade were able to delete the partition and you were able to perform a clean installation. From what I understand, this is not the case with this version upgrade.  Again, what kind of software is this version, it is an OEM or retail? Also how a transfer, this version of windows 8, if a hard drive starts to work summer he could die. More or less what will happen eventually if we install this upgrade version and the hard drive starts to not work. Can we do some back pain it up and install it in a new hard drive? Or we end up with that one option to buy a new drive for Windows 8? BTW thanks for the links

(1) Yes, you need to keep the previous version of Windows installed in order to upgrade to Windows 8.

(2) more than likely its OEM version that she provided by PC manufacturing.

(3) make an Image backup to protect not only disk failures but other issues. Make a backp times before performing the upgrad and after that the upgrade completed one you able to boot to Windows 8. This way your procted in both directions.

    Hey all,.

    Im having a very strange problem with Microsoft Access 2003, we work with the old databases and when we open them by Access 2003 we get the message "you cannot make changes to objects in database" error, which is expected. However, the laptop began to repeat this message repeatedly about 8 times after the first time that you click on it. Its very annoying to have to keep clicking to get rid of the error message. Its a very strange problem, any ideas on how to solve this problem, or even explain what could of happened will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Now when google will have mobile Web sites - this means that you have to do a mobile version - or can get by with a destop version that is mobile-friendly?

    Now I don't mean only websites created with Muse, but all pages that are for example made with WordPress, Joomla, etc.

    Almost all Web sites, that I created with Muse, I made a mobile version too - but I need two of them to mobile versions. It takes time to do. I was talking with a programmer today and he said that I had misunderstood,- and he said: "what Google thinks with mobile-friendly is not that you necessarily do a mobile version - but just a version of office that is mobile-friendly. Is this true?

    If it is true, I don't mind to make mobile versions of the 2 other desktop versions. Well?

    Simply enter in this tool, and it will tell you if it's their instructions.

    It is unlikely that a desktop version of Muse will be mobile friendly. If you code a Bootstrap site or some other sensitive framework, you can get away with a single version. Muse, you will need to make two in almost all cases. But anyway that the tool will tell you if it is up to their standards or not. If she says Yes, then you are fine. Otherwise you will need a mobile version.

  • I ran all virus time and time again and that you cannot get rid of this e-mail worm that continues to advance.

    I ran all virus time and time again and cannot get rid of this e-mail worm that continues to move forward, what I can do now, stop using hotmail?

    Hello

    Why do you think you have an e-mail worm? If you can't name it?

    If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
    had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
    list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
    could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
    any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
    (beneficiary).

    Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
    send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
    can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
    mail.

    I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
    This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
    As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
    SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
    SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
    instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
    as if by magic.)

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

    Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

    The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
    still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
    Change it again after these checks.

    It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
    account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
    were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
    who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
    NOT only the answer to the address.

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

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  • Office continues to copy pictures, that I was transferred from a memory card, and now I have 18 copies of 120 photos on my desk and that you cannot delete!

    I transferred photos from a memory card on my desk but it keeps trying to make copies without end of the photographs and whenever I try to delete them, it makes more copies.  My office is invaded by the copies of copies of copies of pictures.  Help!

    Copies are displayed when you try multiple
    Select for deletion?

    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial will be
    a few ideas:

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Ooops! More copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

    If you delete the wrong files... recover from
    your basket now.

  • I know that you cannot effectively stop someone from saving a picture...

    ... and that if someone really wants to they can get it, and blah, blah, blah--but is possible that I can at least have a context menu that is displayed when someone clicks on an image that says "Hey *, if you really want this bad image, why do not call you?" I'm sure we can cope. »

    or something to that effect.
