Updated OEM 98 to XP. XP becomes a full version, with the possibility to move to another computer?

I upgraded an old computer Gateway for Windows XP Home(It had Windows 98 from the manufacturer).  When I built a new computer some time ago I moved the upgrade Windows XP to the new computer.  Is it legal under the terms of the license or is it not because I upgraded an OEM version?
The reason why I need to know that it's because I'm going to buy Windows 7 on this computer and I have to buy a Family Pack or a full version, according to the licence proves to be.

Just to note, I no longer use the copy of windows 98 (obviously).

In fact, you are not in compliance with the EULA. Strictly speaking, the installation disk of Win98 gateway you used as support of qualification was OEM and thus related to the original gateway computer. Once again, strictly speaking, it could not serve as qualifying media for upgrade XP on another computer. Of course in real Life (tm) that you've discovered - it worked.

I suggest that buy you a full version of Windows 7, even if it's more money. Plenty of retail versions do not come with restrictions and are therefore much more flexible. Make sure that your computer will support Windows 7 first, with the required and hardware configuration. Here are some links that you may find useful:

    You don't need a serial nr for updating a program

  • Variables shared on the CFP becomes zero and communicate with the PSC

    I use a PC with two network cards, one on one wired ethernet, the other on a private IP directly connected to a PSC-2120 (running 6.0.5 full). I use variables shared on the CFP and aliasing to static variable on the PC (initially LV 8.6, now 2009f2 with the same problem in both). PC variables are stored in a database of the Citadel. I have the CFP program built to run at startup, and it works fine when not connected to the PC.

    When connected to the computer all variables shared on the CFP will from time to time (almost 1/min for a few seconds) and randomly becomes zero. Even if they are resized only not to allow to become zero. I can say that what is happening because I use the variables shared as relay alarm thresholds module, and relays to suddenly slam on. I confirmed this by checking that the CFP has written to its internal flash memory card, and indeed variables suddenly are nil. On the PC it says that it cannot connect with the shared variables. This happens although LabView is not running on the PC!  Manager distributed system variables shared on the CFP are listed as (disconnected) during this time, but it continues to be able to read the correct values to live of the CFP entered the module.

    Interestingly, I have the same computer with the same configuration (and a PSC-2120 different) that does not have this problem. Both PC's are new from the factory. I tried to disable the second ethernet adapter, closing all wall-lights/virusscan and re - order network cards in windows networking/advanced settings without success. Simply disconnect the cable between the PCP and the PC does not cause this problem and shared variables become zero does not trigger the network on the CFP monitoring parameters.

    My questions are:

    (1) this problem can be fixed?

    (2) lost communication for a few seconds is OK, but given the PSC variables become zero is not. Can I stop the variables of the PSC to become zero?

    -David

    To update my previous post, it turns out that the re-installation was not the solution (the problem of variables start again occurring began). I finally realized that this only happens when I put the CFP time server IP (under Additional Configuration to the MAX). I was upgrading the server time on 192.168.1.1 IP (the IP address of the adapter of the CFP has been directly connected to). However, this compensation setting solves the problem.

    I do not think that the time on the CFP must need to be addressed too often (and perhaps it is synchronized if I never re - deploy files to the CFP?), so I guess that leave it empty. Curiously, I have the same setup time on an another PSC server IP and PC (running LV 8.6) without problem.

  • Updates of windows installed and now unable to get online with the Explorer.

    I am running windows vista and installed updates and now cannot get online.  I tried to run the system restore, but that did not help.  This happened once before when the only web sites that I could access were secure web sites, I have changed the security settings and that fixes the problem.  Nothing works for now.

    I'll get more info from my computer at home tonight and add to that tomorrow.

    Thank you!!

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    =========================

    Error message after you install an update of Windows Internet Explorer from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "cannot display the webpage".
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942818

    If not help to tweak the parameters of your third-party firewall, try the following:

    1. disable your antivirus, all modules of Norton (as applicable), a real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (with the exception of Windows Defender; includes the Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG AS guard.exe, SpySweeper guards, etc.), disable the third-party firewall AND THEN select Windows Firewall.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) except #4 below until your antivirus application has been reactivated!  If you use a free ZA firewall, you may need to uninstall instead of disable.

    2 uninstall 'update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 7 (or 8) for Vista (KB976325)' or "Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB976325)" via start | Control Panel | The Maintenance and the system (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | Installed updates day & reboot.

    3 d - c #1 above.

    4 manually run Windows Update and install important updates available (i.e. KB976325).

    5 reboot & make sure everything in #1 above is on again and, if necessary, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstalling) your third-party firewall.

    =====================================

    For individuals, please visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy.  If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  • Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8? Get the error codes for the security updates (0 x 643). ALL through Microsoft Tech INFECTED with the virus and Trojans tried. I need help BADLY. Thank you.

    I tried every thing blessed with technology microsoft... always hanging in limbo here.  Tired of doing constant comprehensive analyses, etc. in order to remove the constant threats.  Apparently my McAfee can't stay with her either.  Need help with the download/repair these seeds as soon as possible.  Thanks to all those who wish to help me - it would be that popular, for sure!

    The question makes no sense.

    "Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8?"

    Two problems: there is no Windows 8 and even if there were, Windows XP Home Edition would not not 'manage '.  ;-)

    I drop McAfee for a few different freeware products.  Or better yet I'd get two products 'cost' (~ 25 and 60 dollars) and install them and use them in the future - but WHEN you are trying to clean up.

    You seem like you maybe sincerely - at a time when a format/install of Windows XP/patching/installation of applications/patch/restore backups of your data is the best course of action.

    However, if you are willing to work - maybe we can at least get things cleaned up to a certain point where you can get a good backup before doing this (otherwise avoid doing all together.)

    In the order shown, do not jump (no matter what you do, what you have done in the past, etc.) ...

    First of all - download, install, operate and put to update and then run a full system scan with the following two (one at a time, reboot in-between):

    After you perform a full scan with one then the other and remove anything they have all two are completely, you can uninstall these products, if you wish.  This initiative will allow to check there is no malware floating around your system which could cause problems.  If you ask - no, Norton probably does not protect you from what these applications can find.

    Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
    (Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Reset.

    Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
    (Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
    (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    and...

    Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
    ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

    Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

    AutoScan--> RUN and type:
    %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
    --> Click OK.

    (If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

    Reset.

    Now try usig the Fixit (Yes - try to use it again) to reset your Windows Components Update (you'll do the aggressive version, not the other):
    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    Reset.

    Now, open Internet Explorer, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and do a CUSTOM search for updates.  Install any critical/high-priority ones and - for now - to ignore all those in option (always do this for material updates optional here.)

    Restart if necessary and continue to visit this web page until you have not yet updated to high priority.

    Now - if your problem is with the facilities of the .NET Framework...  You can end up with something like:

  • Updating Win 7 32 Bit to Win 7 64 bit with the same product key

    Hey,.

    I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?

    Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Update of CRMI against COE Oracle 10 G server fails with the error message Invalid Date of creation

    I have an application that performs an update of a piece of content via CRMI. The element is specified viaA content ID. Since UPDATE_DOCINFO is the service DOC_INFO needs service is executed first to get it.

    DOC_INFO returns information very well. However, when UPDATE_DOCINFO is executed, it always seems to return an error message stating that creation Date is not valid. The element content updates without this error via the Native Web INTERFACE. My code works when pointed at an Oracle 11 G Server COE.

    I tried:

    1. Adding did so to a new DataBinder, without dCreateDate
    2. Adding did so to a new DataBinder, with dCreateDate
      • Add dCreateDate as a date object (from DOC_INFO response I've tried)
        • through thegetDate()
        • manual conversion with DataObjectEncodingUtils.decodeDate() (w / get() )
      • Add a string
        • convert with SimpleDateFormatter similar to how RIDC encodes (w / getDate() )
        • manual conversion with DataObjectEncodingUtils.encodeDate() (w / getDate() )
        • as «»
        • as null
        • get()Instead ofgetDate()
    3. Directly using DOC_INFOresponse Binder
    4. With the help of the library of CRMI 11 G (3 above) 5 using the RIDC 10 G (1-3 above) library

    All listed approaches have returned the same error message.

    Here's the method I use for the update. The commented code is the thing I've tried that does not resolve the issue.

    public ServiceResponse executeByContentId (String szContentId, map < String, String > updateHMap)

    throws RemoteException

    {

    If (log.isDebugEnabled ())

    {log.debug ("the execution of an update:" + szContentId) ;}}

    get the RIDC context - guess the context RIDC has already been created.

    IdcContext = RIDCApp.IDC_CONTEXT_LIST.get context (getUsername ());

    Download the client

    Customer IdcClient = RIDCApp.IDC_CLIENT;

    create the command object to run

    DataBinder dataBinder = client.createBinder ();

    film for convenience

    Binding EDAMDataBinderWrapper = new EDAMDataBinderWrapper (dataBinder);

    Binder. DOC_INFO_BY_NAME();

    ServiceResponse rawResponse = null;

    Try

    {

    log.info ("About to RUN: (previous update) \n" + binder.toString () ");

    rawResponse = client.sendRequest (context, binding);

    DataBinder responseBinder = rawResponse.getResponseAsBinder ();

    log.info ("Found: (previous update) \n" + responseBinder.toString () ");

    used to get the result

    EDAMDataBinderWrapper docInfoResult =

    EDAMDataBinderWrapper (responseBinder) new;

    //used for the update

    EDAMDataBinderWrapper updatebinder =

    EDAMDataBinderWrapper (client.createBinder ()) new;

    //new EDAMDataBinderWrapper (responseBinder);

    //required fields!

    DocInfoSet of the DataObject = docInfoResult.getResultSet ("DOC_INFO")

                                                                            .getRows () .get (0);

    //now that we have result - try the update

    Return the response of update of the document

    If (log.isDebugEnabled ())

            }

    ServiceResponse response = client.sendRequest (context, updatebinder);

    log.info ("Found: (updated) \n" ")

    + response.getResponseAsBinder () m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());

    return response;

            }

    catch (Cie IdcClientException)

            {

    log.error ("Error updating the Document", sea ice);

    //throw new RuntimeException ("Error updating the Document", sea ice);

    //throw new RuntimeException ("error updating the Document-" + ice.getMessage (), ice);

    throw RuntimeException (ice.getMessage () new, ice);

            }

    //something gone wrong

    //return null;

    }

    I could solve the problem.

    The answer is proven be setting the parameter UserDateFormat on the RIDC Binder that I used to make the update request.

    Then I got just to make sure that all of my dates been serialized using this same format.

  • Difficulty getting the updates of Windows in April, fixed - now in trouble again with the month of may

    I, like so many others, have problems with updates of Windows, as well as to download and install. My problems on my computer Windows 7 began in April 2016 during the "patch Tuesday". After having done everything I could think of, including communicate with Microsoft (which were absolutely no help!), I found a fix here - installation KB3145739. Since then, I was able to check the updates without problem - that is to say, until the most recent "patch Tuesday," which was this week may 10.

    I had set my computer to "check for updates, but let me decide whether to download and install." Well, the computer doesn't seem to be looking up everything on Tuesday at all, so I checked manually for them, and as last month, the search seems to never end. After looking at some of the posts here, want to ask questions on exactly what to do. First, should I reinstall KB3145739? Also should I install or the other of the following - KB3153199 or KB3138612 - in addition to KB3145739 (fell on these two elsewhere on here as possible fixes)? Finally, should I change my settings to "never check updates" rather than as I have currently and always just manually check updates? Thanks for any help on this. I am so tired of MS causing problems with getting the updates (never had any problems until they start us pushing the 10).

    (Just thought of another question - GWX control panel installation would be a good idea?)

    Your most reliable way to identify the update is to check this page:

    http://Wu.krelay.de/en/

    Other than that, start with Kernel Mode driver updates. ;)

    Hello again,

    Thought I would let you know that I've finally sorted this! :)

    In another forum I read a post from someone who had a similar problem and solved it by uninstalling the "failures" updated, restart the PC and then re-run the update. It worked! It had not occurred to me to try what I've assumed that 'impossible' meant that they had not installed at all, not that they didn't had simply not installed correctly and must have become corrupt.

    I hope this will help someone else who has the same problem, I've had!

    Best wishes

  • Microsoft cares if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard?

    I am building a newish computer; Microsoft cares any longer, if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard? All of the previous answers to this question are all about 2011 are resolutely "affirmative", they care. I know that Microsoft has had a change of heart (at least I think) regarding their operating system. With the upcoming free update, I was hoping I could recycle my Windows 7 64 bit, an increase in the time up to 10 comes out.

    Thank you.

  • With the help of OS10.4.11. No plans to upgrade the system, which means that I can not update firefox - my favorite browser. To do this, I should no longer use Firefox? I have newer computers but want to use this machine for some projects.

    Concerned about the future of firefox since stability I cannot and does not level the operating system on this Mac. Using Firefox 3.6.24 and during a recent update of firefox, I was warned) 1 could not upgrade with the current operating system, and support 2) will end soon. What does that mean? Should I stop using Firefox as my browser?
    Thank you.

    Firefox 3.6.x is the latest version of Firefox Mozilla for Mac PPC and 10.4.

    For older Macs that are not considered supported in versions of Firefox 4 +, try TenFourFox for PowerPC in performance Mac 10.4.11 and 10.5.8.

  • Serious problems with the 6.16 update: reboot page &amp; chat

    First of all, I want to mention before, if there is no problem with Skype, it would make my computer all freeze where I by force to restart my system. If she didn't answer I could not force the program to close and would be forced to stop and start again.

    An hour or two there is something like it happened and so I restart my computer. Restart Skype updated during this time. When he came I went to my main group chat and it froze my computer, forcing me to do a hard cock down. For the next couple hours, it's the same thing. Even when I tried to disable my internet so I couldn't even open Skype. It is only now, 4 hours later that I am able to access Skype and the rest of the features on my computer, something I wasn't able to do.

    With this update, the display for the bubbles of text is not something I like. Timestamps are gone even if I still have the box checked to have these timestamps. I can't scroll to see previous messages and certain user setting have been forgotten or reset. I'm not happy about all of this change suddenly that I'm already rather on the fence with how much I love Skype.

    I'd like a way to return to the old interfaces without suffering a decline in quality with calls and video.

    The cat new UI is provided with the 6.16.64.105 version only. You can uninstall this 'special' version and install the 6.16.0.105 version with the old chat UI window.
