  • Satelite A500 upgrade Vista to Windows 7

    I received my upgrade of Toshiba drive. I intend to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  • Locate the screw example on different Windows computers

    I get an error when I try to run screws on different Windows machines, due to the different parts of a built-in Subvi.  More specifically, I have a few screws that call create_ramp.vi, which is in... \LabVIEW 2011\examples\analysis\intpxmpl. LLB.  On one computer, the Subvi is C:\Documents and Settings\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\...  On another computer, it is in C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\...  (The difference is the Documents and Settings folder.  I accepted the choice of the repertoire by default when I've upgraded to LV2011.)  If I save a VI on a single computer, it gives an error when I run on the other and vice versa.  How to make the platform more independent VI?  Can I have the high level VI forget one suggested the path to a Subvi? Which would avoid an error and then having to click through a bunch of directories to specify the LLB file, whenever I go to the computers.  Why do just with this Subvi and not the many other integrated subVIs that call my programs?

    Thank you.

    On the file menu, e/s, there is a constant path small library VI. In the development environment, it always points to the location of the directory of vi.lib. Band that once and you get where LV is installed.

    In turn the constant of the default directory usually points to lv where is installed, but can be edited.

  • I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

    The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

    My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

    My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

    Rigaut

    First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

    Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

    OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
    http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

    Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.

  • FireFox--CreateProfile works not when you target a path of Firefox different Windows user profile commands

    Hi guys,.

    I am using the FireFox--CreateProfile to create a new profile to a different windows account (for example connect as administrator while trying to create a new windows profile account 'demo') of the order. This will in fact fail because all files are created (lack profile.ini and etc...). However, when I tried to create a new profile directly under the logged in windows account (e.g. login you as demo while trying to create a new profile for the demo), the command works successfully.

    I can confirm that this is due to the limitation of the command that Firefox is unable to create a new profile under a different windows account?

    Yes - each logon user account gets its own file profiles.ini and - CreateProfile only works for the current logon user account.

  • I have 2 copies of open Firefox (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore the two sessions?

    I have 2 copies of open Firefox (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore the two sessions? I am familiar with clicking history / restoration of previous session, but do not want to reboot to let windows update to do it's thing unless I can restore the two sessions.

    guigs2 said

    If they run different profiles, then Yes.

    Thanks, but I use only 1 profile. However, I found the answer! If I restart/turn off / down pc WITHOUT closing a firefox session, he will come with the screen 'well, it's embarrassing"and list the TWO sessions to restore. The trick is not not to close before stopping! If you close them first, then you can only restore the session first (?).

    Display two different windows on external and internal monitors at the same time?

    Yes, you can.

    When you connect an external monitor, its pixels are added to the screen integrated to create an extended desktop. If you get a double built-in, just disable fill video. The pane organize you allows to place each tiny in the same way screen icons, they are arranged on your bench, and then the mouse moves correctly on the boundary between displays, and you can drag and drop Windows where you want.

    Hi Marie n.,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    You cannot upgrade windows XP to windows 7, the only option is to do a custom install to install windows 7. Custom installation will all move the file from the windows XP system to the windows.old folder; It will be not formatted (save the data before clean/custom install).

    You cannot use the windows XP for windows product key 7.
