trying to replace xp home with installation installation complete but now won't finish

Lost the previous full versions in flood, re - install was interrupted by the loss of power, enough to upgrade disk.

Hi Stuart,

You install Windows XP on an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) PC?  If so, you might be able to request recovery disks from the manufacturer (which can be Windows ME) to install, and then use the XP upgrade later.

Reference: How to install or upgrade to Windows XP?

Hope the helps of information.

  • have replaced my HARD original with an SSD drive, but now my laptop does not recognize HP support assistant?

    Dear Forum,

    I replaced my original HARD with a SSD drive, but now HP support assistant recognizes my phone? The program runs but updates always fail and when I look at general specifications the serial number, product name, number of product, microprocessors, system memory, motherboard, bios system, drive hard (s), and optical drive (s) are all empty. Interestingly, it recognizes the device to display (s) as being mobile intel (R) HD graphics and current resolution of 1366 x 768 and refresh rate 60.

    My laptop is an Australian model HP DV4 3029tx, which is an intel i5 14 "(2ème génération) with AMD graphics 6750" I replaced the original 640 GB hd with a 180 GB ocz vertex 2 using acronis to clone the drive.

    I would be grateful is anyone know how to get hp support assistant to recognize my computer.

    Thank you very much

    I think that cloning might be the question because the original configuration has been changed. Simple uninstall and reinstall again could possibly solve the problem as well...

  • I can't delete a game called Float that gives the message waiting. The cross and the oscillation with delete option appear, but it won't when I select Remove. Any ideas please?

    I have a new mini iPad 4. I can't delete a game called Float that gives the message waiting. The cross and the oscillation with delete option appear, but it won't when I select Remove. I don't know how it came to be. Any ideas please? Thank you.

    First try a reset to see if it finishes downloading. Press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release the two buttons. Wait until the iPad tour starts on its own.

    Check if you can remove the application. If not go into settings > general > use iCloud and storage > storage > storage management. Wait for the list of apps to open. See if the float is on the list. If it is delete it from there.

    Start > run > control userpasswords2 > OK

    will take you to what you need to access and change permissions for logon not required

    On the users tab uncheck users must enter a user name and password to use this computer

    other options are available to facilitate access

    If a default administrator password has been entered it would probably be adminpass or empty field

    In both cases, it would be entered twice or white field, then move the cursor to confirm the blank

    as non-existent password then confirm white... you see an empty field is itself a password.

    Method 1:
    Try to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.


    Method 2:
    I also suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.
    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
    a. Insert the installation disc.
    b. restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair
    Check out the link:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/startup-repair-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 3:
    You can also follow the steps in the article knowledge base provided and check.
    Windows no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration

  • Trying to update a copy of Photoshop CS5 with a legitimate code, but Adobe won't let me.

    Hello


    My company bought a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS5 and installed on a laptop that we use at our events. The laptop has aged over the years and we have disabled the copy via the Help menu, and then uninstalled. I installed the product on a new laptop computer and use the same activation code. The software installed fine with no problems but now I try to download updates and he sees updates and downloads them but when it comes time to install, it just says: "there was an error downloading this updates.» Quit and try again later. I am trying to install Bridge cs5 4.0.5 update, adobe extension manager cs5 5.0 update, photoshop 12.0.4 and photosphop camera raw 6.7. I do all this with Adobe Application Manager. The link they give me to contact customer service takes me here: error: "this serial number is not for a product calling it" | CS6 cs5, CS5.5,.

    I spent the time talking to help members through the online chat and they keep passing me around one person to another with different pretexts how they can't help. The last person has refused to transfer saying me that I need to come here for help.

    If you buy an upgrade, you get only a serial number. It is up to you to provide the second.

    But actually, just closely I re-read your original message. You have been sent to a message about qualifying products, but who are actually relevant to you? The problem actually only that you can't update your software, which is already installed and running? And Adobe sends you to a page of irrelevant?

    If so, download the updates separately and install them. Automatic update seems to have stopped working for mahy out-of-support products discontinued, but updates are always available.

  • I tried to clean my pictures using the Rectangle tool, but now whenever I press BACKSPACE it gives me a box of filling instead of delete/cut what is selected. How can I fix it?

    Screenshot_1.png

    You are on background, which does not support transparency.  -Precisely - expect the delete key to do?

    Fill with the background color?  Now the SHIFT key while pressing the delete key will do without raising the dialog box.

    Fill it with something else?  That's why you are presented with a dialog box.

    Make a layer of real image by double-clicking background so that it becomes a real layer, then press the delete key you give transparency.

  • Has tried to fix the wi - fi on El Capitan, but now no connection to all the

    I had problems connecting wi - fi typical (?) in El Capitan, especially during commissioning or wake from sleep. I tried to follow the steps described on http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/16/fix-wi-fi-problems-mac-os-x-el-capitan/ , but he has completely killed my wi - fi. I don't know how to fix or even go back to the way it was imperfect, but from time to time to work.

    • First of all, I highlight several aspects of the instructions on osxdaily which does not correspond to what I saw on the screen, especially since there is NO file called "com.apple.network.identification.plist" in the SystemConfiguration folder.
    • In addition, another site was already a different folder of com.apple.Bluetooth.plist out me and put it on the desk. Not sure if I should put it back.
    • Finally, the instructions on this site imply that we are not deleted what be it unde the DNS setting before adding something like 8.8.4.4 but I had something there already... a number starting with 196; He disappeared after that I removed the other SystemConfig files? I write to this DNS address, but I don't know the 'field of research"that was recorded on the right.

    I hope this information is useful. I need to get up and running right now, I am a teacher and school starts Thursday!

    I should add: wi - fi is recognized by he's other portable computers and iPad in the House; on my Mac Book, however, he does not even see most of the time!
