  I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's

  an old computer, but it works very well.  I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But

  in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade.  Thanks John

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

• Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp installed in El Capitan. Do not delete with Bootcamp so I used the disk utility. Now, Windows always tries to start with an error, the 'other' space illustrates.

  Long story short, I installed windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, went very well. I was just curious how it would go.

  in any case, tonight, I decided to delete the Windows partition (Bootcamp Partition), and I got an error in Bootcamp that says "sorry couldn't do Mac OS partition a new»

  With that I went to the disk utility and tried to partition the disk on a partition again, which it did, but now I have 40 GB of "other space". I literally have nothing stored on this computer, until I installed Windows 8.1 which was not there.

  Also, when I start it up I always get Windows start first if I do not hold Option, then it goes to the blue screen, obviously because he's not here.

  I started to recover, tried to fix it, verify, erase free space, etc.. I'm running a MacBook Pro 13 "128GB 2015.

  On a Mac of 2015, the disc is divided into a group of logical volumes and Volume for OS X, and a partition for Windows. If BCA fails to restore it correctly, the part of Windows do not get properly gathered in the LVG/LV. The other questions you have, it's that there are remnants of the Microsoft your EFI partition Boot code.

  To solve both, the easiest and safest method is

  1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

  3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

  4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

  This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

• Creative Suite 6 Design Standard invalid serial number [unable to use the serial number Mac on Windows]

  I tried to install CS6 Design Standard on my computer, but the installer says that the serial number was not valid. I found the serial number by going to the adobe Web site and navigate to the page with my products. I had installed CS6 about 3 years ago on my old Mac and went to install it on my new PC when I stumbled upon the question. I don't know if I need a different serial number for the PC version or not. How can I install CS6 and why the serial code is not valid?

  Thanks in advance

  I had installed CS6 about 3 years ago on my old Mac and went to install it on my new PC when I stumbled upon the question. I don't know if I need a different serial number for the PC version or not.

  Yes, you do. Serial numbers are Mac only or Windows only. As you have discovered, you can't use a serial number of Mac on Windows (and vice versa).

  You can do a platform Exchange to put the serial number of your Mac and get a serial number of Windows instead.

  Exchange a product Adobe of a different version of the language or platform

• My XP desktop seems to have thrown my 'system tools' function and I want to use the disk cleanup and defragmentation... How to get back the system tools?

  My computer is as I said above a desk with the microsoft XP program and is a little less than five years.  It has been slow and it dawned on me that I hadn't used the disk cleanup or some defrag for a while, but I clicked on start, all programs, accessories, System Tools was is no longer.  I have not been able to access the disk cleanup or defragment option and hope that out there, can someone advise me how to get this feature.

  You can run Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter disk since the start > run box by typing the following

  Cleanmgr
  Dfrg.msc

  You can restore all of the 'Accessories' group (including system tools) by following the directions here--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

  Or you could just create shortcuts to

  C:\Windows\system32\dfrg.msc
  and
  %SystemRoot%\System32\cleanmgr.exe

  Note that % SystemRoot % is the directory where Windows.  You can use this form or explicit as in the example for the shortcut from the Defrag.

• Unable to schedule the disk, always set to 'never' Defragmenter in Vista

  When I call the Disk Defragmenter screen still reads that my next scheduled time is 'never '.  even if I reset the calendar at a specific time, when I close and call it back up the next scheduled time is again back to 'never', what is wrong?

  There are several reasons why the built-in function may not work correctly:
   
  0. it is malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.
   
  1. the disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.
   
  2. the disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:
   
  a.Open "My computer" and right click the drive that you want to disable frag.
  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.
   
  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).
   
  3. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:
   
  a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
  b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
  c. start the restore process and let it finish. (Name the descriptive restore as "Repair of Defrag" operation).
   
  4. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:

  a. close all running programs.

  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

  d. Select "start Task Manager".

  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."
   
  5. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).
   
  6. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with her and stalking interference may not be easy. Note: Some versins of Win 7 disable the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.
   
  7 Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution:
   
  a. open the menu 'start '.
  b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
  c. in the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf.
  d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install". (Note: apparently the specified file is not present on some versions of Win 7 - go to step 8).

  8. most of the problems will be solved by #6 above, but if not, and if your windows installation is otherwise working well, you should consider to download a free trial of a Defrag tool commercial rather than drastic measures to restore the perfect bed-s. Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.
   
  Most third party programs offer a fully functional free trial version (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...
   
  Here's a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:
   
  http://Disk-Defragmenter-software-review.TopTenReviews.com/ 
   
  The gold medal is the only defrag of program that prevents the fragmentation (see the reiew).
   
  Why is it good to prevent fragmentation?

  Basically, it significantly increases life expectancy of your hard drive (especially since you don't have to leave the system on all night - a much 'greener' agricultural practice), not to mention it also increases the performance of the system.

  Good luck to you!

  PS: If still no go, repair may involve editing the registry or repair installation of windows and possibly re - install windows itself. These aren't simple solutions. If so, indicate if they can be provided.

• Spit Lightroom 4.3 when using the brush after using the red eye tool

  I bought Lightroom a few days ago. I was traveling so I didn't have the time to 4.3.

  The version shipped with the disk (4.1) worked like a dream. I downloaded 4.3 yesterday and I couldn't be sadder. First of all, I noticed that it cause the 'root' to use more CPU, which means that it does not use the CPU for Lightroom itself. More demand is usually and significantly slower than the original one.

  Today, I used the red eyes for the first time, and I can't just brush top unless it crashes! It is simply impossible. I rebooted. Upgrade my Mac OS 10.7.5...  No use. I even uninstalled and reinstalled again. I was forced to do all my first edit in there usinf the brush, then use the tool red eyes as the last step. But any time that I commit the brush after using the red eye tool, it crashes instantly

  It seems something funny on your establishment for sure that there is not a wide spread thing.

  What exactly is your establishment and where are the various files located - catalogue, images, etc.

• date of reading of hurt to excel using the report generator tool kit

  Hello
  Im trying to read a date from an excel worksheet by using the report generator tool. I talked about this http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/01B026BEB54E3414862571B600618827 KB and it works... kind of.

  My dates are all read next 4 years and 1 day. Can't really understand why?

  Any ideas would be appreciated!

  Thank you
  David

  The format of the time in LabVIEW is distinguished by the time format in Excel. If you simply convert the timestamp cluster double
  and paste that data into Excel, it won't make sense. This is because the Excel format is based on the number of days
  Since January 1, 1900. The time of LabVIEW is based on the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1904. Converts this vi
  LabVIEW to Excel time time. reverses the logic of switch from excel to labview

• How to use the report generation tool to get a list of bookmarks in a Word template

  I'm working on a project where I need to use the report generation tool to fill a fairly long Word template. MS Office report Express VI can have entries for a maximum of 17 bookmarks that is not close enough to what I need to do.

  I wonder if there is a way to use the lower level screws report generation to read the word template and return a list of the names of bookmark in the form of a table 1 d of string. The dialog box that allows you to implement the Express VI has this ability, but I'm not finding a way to scan the document programmatically.

  I'm sure I can't be the first person to encounter this problem and I hope someone out there has found a good solution.

  Found the answer to this one that I was looking for the forums. Apparently, you can do this directly through everything in the VI report tool, but there is a VI in Wordsub.llb do that.
