• -Problem of activation Microsoft Office on new machine virtual Windows Vista

  I use a MacBook Pro on which I have just updated the Parallels Desktop virtual machine software.  This software has removed the earlier version (doesn't give me a notice, unfortunately, so my Office software deleted it from the virtual machine image).  Now, when I try to run office software in the virtual machine running Vista, I get a notice I need to activate the software.  When I try to activate online, I get a message that I've already activated all copies that I am allowed.  When I try to activate by phone, I'm going to "activate by phone" in the activation wizard, press the 'next' button, but then the activation wizard stops without giving me the phone number.  Help!

• I want to sound models for my new machine, Windows 8

  Dear all,

  I just bought a new machine of Windows 8.  It comes with only a default sound scheme.  The sounds are not different enough for me to distinguish what they mean when I hear it, so I would like a different schema or to customize my own.  In this way, when an error occurs, a sound indicating 'mistake' playing me and open, close, etc., are also similar in the sense implied.  Where can I download more sounds?  The sound is very important to me in the calculation, and the default value is is not "do it" for me.  I tried searching on the Microsoft.com site and do not see any in my search.

  Here is your solution. You can get the program called stardock Soundpackager. It's free for 30 days, and it does not cost too much at all. No subscription required or prescribed. http://www.stardock.com/ and go to this link for more sounds: http://www.wincustomize.com/explore/sound_schemes

• I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process for Windows XP SP3 failed.

  I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine.  The activation process failed.  How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive?  I have the code original and other info.

  original title: Moving the death machine drive

  Hello CarrolScott,

  The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.

  The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

• Installation of Windows 7 on 3 new Machines

  I have a windows family pack 7 (3 licenses). I'm upgrading of equipment for all three machines and install windows 7 on 3 new machines.  The old machines were wiped and formatted.  My question is can I use the 3 licenses of the machines formatted or need some type of reset so that my 3 new installations will be seen as authentic

  The Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack Upgrade 3 PCs is an upgrade license.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  Yes, you can use the same key and buy a new product key (same edition). Of course, you can simply buy a retail box package in order to get the key. There is no digital distribution of the keys (if you find one, they are illegal).

  If I can use the disk is it a place to buy a product key on microsofts website?

  No, you buy the retail package to get the key.

  I kind of remember a possibility to buy a key during the activation process, but I don't want to install this version and have to start over.

  You can try to use the key if you still have it and try the activation of the phone.

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.

• New installs on Windows 8.1 and file transfer from an external drive, saved from death PC Vista machine

  Hi, my old under Vista Home Premium (32 bit) desktop PC is dead and has been replaced by a new machine Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

  I took the hard drive from my old PC and put it in an envelope and the files seem to be fine. I need advice on how to do the following things 4:

  (1) how to find and transfer of e-mail, including records and contacts (I used the e-mail program provided Vista on the old machine) on the new machine and I can't actually set up mail on the new machine to my ISP (BT Yahoo) first (I didn't click on the mail app yet).

  (2) how to find and transfer bookmarks/favorites of Chrome and the old disk to ie11 and/or Chrome structure on the new machine.

  (3) how do I transfer files (photos, music, documents, etc.) so that they are available for all users

  (4) I installed iTunes on the new PC, I want to transfer music files and album cover (I don't know how the album covers are found, and some are "home made" to cover the chronological collections of singles) from the old machine in the easiest way possible

  Thank you for all the tips and advice.

  Hi Tovoyer, I'll try to answer your questions in order.

  1. Transfer old contacts and emails in Windows Vista Mail
     • First of all, you know that Windows Vista was the latest OS to come with a desktop e-mail program.  Windows 7 and 8 do not come with any successor to the Windows Vista Mail program.  Instead, you can get it as a download in the Windows Essentials page option.  Windows 8 has a rudimentary base e-mail app, but it is designed for the Tablet/phones and the lamp.  If you want something that compares to Vista mail program, you'll want to get the free download of the essential elements in this link before you move forward.
     • After you have installed most of Windows, you can open the program (so renamed "Windows Live Mail" and add your ISP e-mail account.)  This will download depending on how your ISP provides email, all or part of your story by e-mail in the new programme, possibly negating the need to transfer anything from your old installation.
     • If you do not need to transfer your old files, navigate to the file / import Messages option in the Windows Live Mail program.  Choose "Windows Mail" in the list, and then navigate to this folder on your external hard drive attached:

       D:\Users\(your user name) \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local records
       (replace D with the drive letter for your hard disk enclosure, of course).

     • To transfer your Contacts is even easier. The Vista mail program did not contact directly, it stores everything in this folder

       D:\Users\(your username) \Contacts

       The file present in Windows 8, you can simply copy (or drag-and - drop) your contacts from the external drive on your drive of Windows 8 (C:\Users\(your name) \Contacts) and it will be flawless.

  2. Transfer of Chrome Favorites
     
     1. If you signed in using your Google account chrome, all of your favorites are stored in Google account, ready to be restored without effort.  Just to download Chrome again, go to the Tools menu and connect you and your bookmarks should appear.

        If you do not use the Google account or had the sync disabled, you can still find your bookmarks.  After installing Chrome on your new PC, find the old bookmarks on the external hard drive file here:

        D:\Users\(your Name) \appdata\local\google\chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
        (Note the bookmarks is a file, not a folder, but has no file extension).

        And put it in the same folder on your installation of Windows 8.

  3. Transfer of Documents and Photos/etc and put at the disposal of all users
  
  Simply drag - move the files in the folder "Public" user on Windows 8.  These files are shared by all users.

  C:\Users\Public (\documents \pictures, \videos \music, etc...)

• You can simply drag the folder iTunes from the old drive to the same place in the drive of new (music folder of your user account).

• Installation of DW CS5 or CS6 on new machine Windows 10

  I have seen that it is fairly simple to correct errors in an installation of CS5 or CS6 after upgrade to Windows 10. However, has anyone actually installed cs5 or cs6 on a new machine Windows 10?

  I am worried that I have may need to run out and buy a machine with Windows 8.1 installed in order to install cs5 or cs6.

  According to Adobe, cs3, 4 and 5 will also install on a machine Windows 8.1, if for some strange reason, they mention only "Photoshop" as being compatible.

  I'm afraid that if I wait and buy a new computer with Windows installed 10, my only option will be the cloud.

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• New NB200 with Windows 7 preinstalled Fn shortcuts keyboard does not work

  I just purchase the NB200 later with Windows 7 preinstalled (new version with 250 GB hard drive).
  However the Fn keys do not work.

  The machine is straight out of the box, no change.

  I have to do something to activate the access keys.

  I've heard Hotkey problems with windows 7 and the need to install that package added value of Toshiba.
  However I don't is not expected to have to do this on a brand new machine pre-installed.

  Any help very much appreciated.

  Thank you

  You are right. New portable computers are delivered with the settings and everything should work fine.
  I don't have Win7 on my laptop but I presume that it is similar to Vista, then go to start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities and check if there are shortcuts to restart Flash cards.
  Maybe you'll be able to turn it on again.

  Nothing happens when you press the FN key and hold a few seconds?

• HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop: seeking the machine with windows 8.1 - and the upgrade to 10.

  Hi all

  I am looking at buying a machine to re-furb.

  HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop

  The machine has windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if there was problems with upgrade to windows 10.

  edillard

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about upgrading your PC to Win10 and wanted to help.

  While HP has not tested your PC with Win10 and has not certified it will work, the good news is that HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-17-n000-notebook-pc-touch/7777355/model/8429748#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2

  If this page does not display the windows 10 when you open it, then click Edit and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

  Unfortunately, the Win10 GoBack function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
  
  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck
