You probably have XP 32 bit, namely:
If your computer is running Windows XP, follow these steps:
Click Start.
Do right click my computer and then click Properties.
If you don't see "x 64 Edition" in the list, then you are running 32-bit Windows XP.
If "x 64 Edition" is listed under system, you are running the 64 bit version of Windows XP.

You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings on an external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:
1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

2. backup all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer
3. find the discs installation and license/product associated to all your programs keys, because you have to manually reinstall all programs. If you have downloaded some Internet programs you can redownload them.
4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation do you want?" click "Custom (advanced)." Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.
5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.

Can I move the little window 'Search' on the toolbar?
I use MS Reader, version 2015.009.20077. I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
I bring up the small window 'Search' pressing on CTRL-F. I can move it left or right, but I can't move it vertically place just below the toolbar. On earlier versions of the player I could move anywhere in the document pane.
Can I move the little window 'Search' on the toolbar? If so, how?
Hi jas.beau,

I went in Sync Center, I have trid addition in manual, I tried to search for a wifi switch (I don't think I have a) I tried to restart the pc and the internet, I tried the system restore, I don't really know what else to do. Any suggestions?
Hi Kate,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that Windows 7 can't find the network and I appreciate the efforts made to try the patches. Let me ask you;
- Restoring the system led?
- What exactly happens when you try to connect to the Wi - Fi?
This could be due to several reasons, including any third party software conflict. Try the following methods and check.
Method 1: Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, put the computer in a clean boot state and check.
Step 1: Start the computer using safe mode with networking
Safe mode with networking is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. Safe Mode with networking appears in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using. You can use the internet connection in this mode.
Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode
Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.
Method 2: Update the network adapter
Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager
a. click Start , type Device Manager and click on it
b. expand network adapters
c. make a right click driver, and then click Update driver software
Step 2: Install the Windows updates pending
To check the updates:
- Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
In the left pane, click check for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.
If you see a message telling you that important updates are available, or you say to look at the important updates, click the message to view and select the updates to install.
In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select the check boxes for the updates that you want to install and then click OK.
Click install updates.
Read and accept the terms of the license and then click Finish if the update requires it. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Step 3: Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest network for Windows 8 for the same model of device drivers.

If I buy acrobat from a party private how can I check the status of liscense before buying?
1. you can not.
2. There is a lot of product counterfeit around, even though the seller did not know.
3. If you do not purchase be sure to get a form to "transfer license" filled in the seller otherwise they maintain (and have not sold) the rights to run the software.

I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'my documents '.
I recently upgraded to vista XP, I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'My documents' anywhere. When these files is passed or they deleted in the upgrade?
In the Security tab, add you in its own right. Go to advanced and control who has access. Add yourself (if not there) and delete all others. Then come back and go to the tab of property and take over the case. Here are a few tips and information on permissions and provides which may help. But take courage - it seems that we have to fear that found the lack of file and it should be as a matter of time before we can access despite the problems affecting permisions them. You will have to perhaps give you all the rights and take in hand the folder of the user himself access - but let's see if it works this easier way first (or if it does not, we invite you to try to change the property on the users folder and the permissions, even if she is used to. In this case, do remove other USERS from the permissions section.
To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab. Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users). Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions. You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).) Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.
To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights. Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab. Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK. Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions. You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner). You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.) Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.
