    Hi Ytsircfay,

    Unfortunetly Microsoft cannot generate new without the old keys product keys. I look on the machine, if it's OEM and see if there is a key on it. If this isn't the case, then you will need to buy new software with a key.

  • System was originally shipped with Windows 7, I had fixed it, but the operating system has been changed to XP. Can I use the product key on the side to reinstall Windows 7?

    Reinstalling windows 7 after re-start of windows xp

    I bought my Asus computer came with windows 7 installed, earlier this year, I encountered a problem with the blue screen to come and I was unable to fix it, when I had my computer repaired they changed the operating system to windows xp, I was wondering if with registration # or whatever is on the side if I could download and reinstall Windows 7

    If the product key on the side of your machine is for Windows 7 and where-ever you guessed it "repaired" installed Windows XP - the real question becomes where they got a product key for Windows XP?

    You have the installation media for the copy of Windows 7 OEM which is preinstalled on your computer?

    If not - you will probably need to contact Asus (this laptop?) over media restore and/or check to see if the "repair" left any which restoration method should have been used intact.

  • When I click on the firefox icon, nothing happens. What should do?

    When firefox was installed first, a little while ago, it was very fast and I could continue to work.
    The answer became gradually slower and slower and now nothing happens when I click the icon.
    What should do?

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • I have 11 GB of free space on my hard disk 37 concerts. I have a xp home edition with sp 3. I'll be able to install windows seven?

    What is the capacity of minimum disk for windows7 32 bit

    Windows 7 requires a minimum of 16 GB of hard drive only for the operating system; because the upgrade to Windows 7, XP requires a custom (clean) install (your hard drive will be formatted so earasing everything) you do not meet the minimum disk space requirement (just by the standards of today ' hui).

    However, there are many other vital needs that must be considered. Windows XP Home only required of 64 MB of RAM; Windows 7 requires 1 GB (1 024 MB) RAM. Windows XP Home Edition required a processor that was held at 233 MHz or faster; Windows 7 requires a processor that runs at 1 GHz or faster. And these specs for Windows 7 are the bare minimum, which would mean that Windows 7 would be but its performance would be less then optimal.

    For Windows 7 complete system requirements are described on the page linked below:

    Windows 7 system requirements
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

    In addition, Windows 7 was designed to run on the more recent material by using the latest technologies; your Windows XP Home Edition pc probably is at least 7 years and more. In today's technology, your system is almost ancient. Of many computers and hardware manufacturers create drivers for Windows 7 for older computers, so this can be a serious problem. You can run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which will determine if your system is capable of running the new operating system:

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    In the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, you can search all your devices (printers, scanners, cameras, etc.) and software to determine if they are compatible with Windows 7:

    Windows 7 Compatibility Center
     http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    If your system, devices and programs the requirements for Windows 7 is entirely to you to upgrade or not, but in my humble OPINION No matter what ancient system has simply not material to make Windows 7 run the way you want, and finally you would probably be very disappointed. In other words, it may be time to think about a new computer.

  • I want to get caught in charge double external monitor for my MBP with Win7 on Fusion, what should I buy?

    Forgive me if this is clear somewhere in the communities.  I have indeed searched it in addition to Google and I can't find a clear answer.

    I have a 15 "MacBook Pro (aluminum Unibody 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w / 4 GB RAM with backlit keyboard black) running VMware Fusion 3.1 and Windows 7 x 64 as a guest in Unity Mode operating system.  I have two screens beautiful external LCD on my desk.  I want to be able to run both of them with this software/hardware configuration.  To do this, I bought a USB to DVI DisplayLink solution by Diamond (as the MBP had only a single mini-DisplayPort port) in order to be able to control the 2nd external monitor.

    I noticed that when I added the USB to DVI for mixing with the latest DisplayLink drivers (it is the time where I was running VMware Fusion 3.0), it works, but not very reliable and it would break my Win7 x 64 VM or cause other weird problems too much.  I have had no other problems with this configuration in addition to VMware fusion.  As long as I wasn't trying to run a virtual machine with the merger, the USB to DVI external worked very well.   However, given the choice to have a 2nd external monitor or VM support, I had no other choice than to loop and choose VMware on the adapter.  Well, I took it on the mixture so I went back to the adapter.

    I got the notice that VMware Fusion 3.1 is available with tons of bugs and it whet my appetite again for the glory of two external monitors, so I upgraded to it yesterday.

    Is someone can you please tell me exactly what I need to buy to get the reliable support of two external monitors in this environment?

    And please don't say no double or Triple head to go by Matrox.  I don't mean for this set of compromise.

    Besides solutions Matrox, my only choice seems to be somehow supporting this additional monitor via Ethernet, Firewire or USB.  I want to know what are sanctioned for this solutions are supported by VMware (i.e. you tell me what to buy...) I'll buy it... and it works... works very well).

    Thanks a bunch,

    Ted...

    Almost all laptops, dual support external monitor and are VERY easy to configure.

    I support Mac and PC systems.  It's a complete joke that anyone would try to convince me that Mac has better bi-ecrans support.

    To the extent where what is the best solution for businesses.  The need to install a virtual Mac on a PC machine was never even considered because it is not necessary in the world of business.  I can't say that on Mac.

    I'm the guy who went to take care of both in a business environment.  Your brilliant mac sounds really cool, but it is a major pain in my butt and should be confined to a domestic environment.

    Screwed as far as home users, my Mac friends never call me on the East of their computer from viruses.  I like this very well on Mac at home.  But which probably has more to do with the fact that it is not profitable to write a virus for the Mac platform.

  • System Restore doesn't have restore points. What should I do?

    Original title: System Restore problem

    Why my "System Restore" gets none of the restore points? I've restored this computer before. Any suggestions as to why would be very appreciated. Thanks Jack

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    2. did you disk cleanup?

    3. why you try to run the system restore?

    4. do you use your computer in dual-boot configuration?

    This type of problem usually occurs due to threats of viruses or due to cleaning of the computer disk. I suggest you to scan for viruses and to check if it helps.

    Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Once you are done with the antivirus scan, try the steps in the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.
