• I'm looking for a manual form PDF for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.

  Hi Tech, representatives and mods,

  I'm looking for a file PDF instruction manual for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 ULT.

  I am trying to solve some problems on the PC of my mother for him and she not Vista operating instructions supplied with the installation of the plant on his Dell Inspiron 531.

  Also, because of irreparable corrupt software problems, Microsoft technicians have ordered me a Windows 7 installation disc that came in the mail, but there is no manual and I would like to know the procedures of installation and the new UI so I install it.

  Anyone know where I can download manuals of instructions PDF for Vista or Windows 7? ... can't find on the Microsoft Web site, but maybe I can't find them.

  Thanks for any help,

  NuMetro

  
  

  Hi Aziz,.

  I appreciate of course send you these links to the instructions for the installation of 7 and Vista... I will use them when trying to fix computer Vista my mother sick.

  But it turns out there are some out there in free download e-book/PDF manuals, and one for Windows 7 is quite comprehensive, edited by a guy named Rich Robinson on http://mintywhite.com/books/ ... See the response, copied below, I got "JacK MVP" when he replied to my post on the Windows 7 forum...

  Hello

  Look at this page, http://mintywhite.com/books/

  You need to register, but it's good and free courtesy of Microsoft MVP.

  _________________________________________________________________

  It's a little complicated to register on this site... I click on a link to a book, then on the page following, I get my email address, then I get an email confirming my registration, by which I can get an e-mail newsletter every day with a new password to download e-books. If the newsletter has already been sent to this day there, I click a 2nd link in this email in order to receive another email with the password... then by clicking a link in the 2nd e-mail, I get to the page where I did enter the password... so I can download e-books... as easy as 1-2-3... 4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11...

  TIP: the password appears to be the same thing every day, or was yesterday and today it's 'mintywhiteBooks '... How sneaky.

  For a minute there, I thought that this site was a kind of lure because on the page "to subscribe/instructions", where I get my e-mail, there are 2 jpeg images that resemble password fields and links, but they are not... I'm not sure of what those who are for.
  This mintywhite.com seems to be quite the site for amateurs and Windows technicians.
  Thank you

• update my windows vista to windows 7, I need new product key for windows7?

  Additional question:

  I bought my laptop included windows vista Home premium 32 bit SP2 with System Recovery Manager
  I read that there is an upgrade from windows vista to 7 in basic information on my computer in the following manner:
  Windows vista edition Home premium
  Copyright 2007 Microsoft corporation. all rights reserved
  Service Pack 2
  Upgrade to Windows Vista
  what my question is, if I update my windows vista to windows 7, I need new product key for windows7? ,
  or can I use the same product key of windows vista in windows 7 after upgrading?
  and can I upgrade windows vista service pack 2 with service pack 3?

  Hello

  You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.

  Microsoft sells more Windows 7 and you would have to buy from Amazon, etc.

  There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

  "The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

  __________________________________________________

  There is no Vista SP3; SP2 has the latest Service Pack for Vista and will be the last.

  __________________________________________________

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• 24 of Firefox with vista to date fails to display icons on the new Yahoo Mail and other web sites — especially icons such as facebook, twitter WHY?

  Web sites like murraystivoli.com that display the facebook and twitter icons and in particular the new Yahoo Mail interface fail to display the icons. I see only a small rectangle. On Yahoo Mail, there are a few inside but instead it should be the display arrows, images of envelopes or as medium icons or 'send '. The new interface is useless without correct icon translation - can not see the arrows for 'reply' 'reply to all '. It works on Internet Explore on Vista; It works on Firefox on Windows XP (it's the way back level) then why do we see this problem with Vista and Firefox update (we 24.0 but saw problems on websites that I don't care that much about other levels of Firefox also.)

  Help, please!

  Same problem here... I have no icons or tick boxes at all in Yahoo mail and it affects a good few other sites too, just small square boxes with numbers inside. It's really annoying!

  Here's what it looks like (you may need to zoom in a bit)...

• Would it be possible to have 2 shared resources, a local containing all common topics and photos for several projects and another a remote control containing all the topics and pictures for the purpose of collaboration

  Hello

  I was wondering, now that I discovered the benefits of eating of the resource, if it would be possible to have 2 shared resources, a local with common themes and images for several projects and another one, remote, containing projects together, i.e. the subjects and images, for collaboration purposes.

  The only local, I intend to use it for my purposes to have common points (topics & photos) update of all projects where they appear and the distance that I intend to use it with remote colleagues, who might want to make changes in the topics.

  This would mean that the topics and current photos will be present in the resources, one local as one remote.

  Thank you.

  SVN is not a source control package?

  I'm not sure, but RoboHelp * MAY * be able to integrate with SVN to control projects and sharing.

  RoboHelp comes with RoboSource Control that could be used to provide the source code control. But if you already have a package in place, my thought is why reinvent the wheel? Simply use what is there.

• Add author bio and picture for blog posts

  I can see the tags {tag_blogpostauthorpicture} {tag_blogpostauthorbiography} , but not where to add this information to the system.  I tried adding the author (who is an administrator) of the CRM and adding the information. But I'm just a placeholder image and bio white.

  I also want to add a rel = tag author attribute to point to G +, so I hope I can add HTML text not only for the Bio.

  Nothing about it on the set up guide.  Can someone help me please?

• Windows Vista to windows 7 upgrade - making circles in the round

  Have a HD Sony Wega KDF E60A20 TV that loses the sound and picture for a bout a minute then light up again.

  I'm sorry to hear what is happening with your TV. I need more information about the problem you are having with the unit. When the TV loses sound and the image is there any light that flashes on the control panel of your TV (e.g. lamp, timer or power)? What is the video source connected to the TV?

  Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the TV.

  A power reset.

  1 turn off the TV.
  2. unplug the power cord of the TV from the power outlet.
  3. let the TV remain without power for 60 seconds.
  4 plug the power cord into the power outlet.
  5. turn on the TV.

  If the problem persists, try to pull up the TV menu when the sound and the image is lost, just press the Wega door button on the supplied remote control. See the menu? Note If there is no light, which will blink on the Panel of the TV when the problem occurs.

  If my post answered your question, please mark it as an "accepted Solution".

• Temporary modification of the display of the records for the selected files

  I just moved from Windows XP to Windows 7.  There are features I had XP I want to remember.

  Here are the details.

  My favorite of all the folders view is "Details".  Almost always, I want that.  The exception is for folders with pictures and only for folders with pictures I want frequently ** temporarily * passage to "thumbnail" for this folder only.

  In Windows 7, it seems that I have to stop, go to the Control Panel, set a global setting for * all * file, change it to "Miniature", accept change, return back in the folder and review, then back to the control panel and reset this global setting to return to my favorite.

  Discount temporary view for a folder was easy in XP and now there are really, really awkward (as far as I can tell) in Windows 7.

  Is there a better solution than what I have outlined above?

  Thank you

  John
