    Your previous was not clear.  If you buy an upgrade to Windows 7, you will get a product key so that it can be activated.  If you do not have a key, you will need to contact the company you bought Windows 7 from. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    Can I install lightroom 5 on Windows vista home 32 bits andhow many computers can I install it on? I'm afraid that if my computer rejects lightroom I will get a second chance.

    Bunkieboy,

    Lightroom 4 and later will not install or run on the 32-bit editions and 64-bit of Windows XP Edition family or professional

    Lightroom 5 et seq. will not install or run on 32-bit editions of Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 for Windows and Mac OS 10.6.x

    Lightroom CC will not install or run on Mac OS 10.7.x

    Please see system requirements for Lightroom for more information.

    You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it one at a time. Lightroom is the exception because it is a cross-platform product, so it can be installed on the pc and mac platforms.

    The unexpected happened by updating my BIOS, we lost the power.  Once the power came back, my machine was bricked.  I get the error of Checksum BIOS's Boot Blocker

    I did some research and found that I could re-Flash my BIOS so I could boot to a CD or a floppy disk.  I don't have a floppy drive, and after many attempts, I learned how to create a bootable CD with PHLASH16 and the extracted from the update of the BIOS ROM file that I had downloaded from the HP support site for my computer (sp37378.exe).  The question is the program flash will not read the ROM file that I've extracted from your exe file and I can't find the original file for the BIOS on the HP website.

  • Upgrade Vista Home, 32-bit

    I am currently on Windows Vista, 32-bit Edition. I have problems to increases.

    Can I upgrade Windows 7 or 8?  and if so will lose program data and files saved on my current computer?... have a lot of photos, saved emails, financial program (Quicken), etc.

    Is it better to try the upgrade... or grit their teeth and replace the PC?

    Bob

    Hello

    Microsoft is no longer selling Windows 7.

    You can upgrade to 7, but 8.1 is a clean install.

    Windows 10 came out at the end of this month and 64-bit, is that computers in popular way will these days

    If it was me I would replace it as the material probably should be upgraded for the use of later operating systems taking into account the age of a computer with Vista.

    But here's a guide for the upgrade.

    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.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

    Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

    _______________________________

    Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

    Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.

    If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.

  • Drive hard error detected on the HP Pavilion dv6835nr with Vista Home Premium bits

    Lately, my laptop has been slow to start. Yesterday, after control electronic, I noticed the screen turned black and only 3 icons were visible: Trash, Firefox and File Recovery... And a lot of small cascade titled windows: System message. and a file recovery window appears and scans to find out the necessary repairs. The message is "your computer is in critical condition. Hard drive detected error. "7 questions of repair, the next screen offers to upgrade my 'demo' (don't have the slightest idea what they're talking of)

    When I click here to activate it, they want to buy such a product.

    Is this a scam or a virus? How can I fix this problem.

    HP Pavilion dv6835nr

    Processor Intel Core 2 duo T5550

    with 250 GB HDD

    3072 MB DDR2 SDRAM

    Please help me...

    Hello:

    Yes, you should try it but do not for get rid of the virus. The drive is bad, but you can try to recover the files you want to keep using this disc.

    The GUI will allow you to explore your hard drive and if there's still life in it, you may still be able to see and copy your files to a storage device portable usb.

    If the Kaspersky Rescue CD cannot access your hard disk, then all is lost.

    Things to consider... dv9000 models are plagued by questions of the motherboard and you can opt for a new PC, rather than fixing you.

    I do not work for HP, so I don't have to think that you buy a new laptop, but you have to consider the possibility of throwing good money after bad.

    If you decide to buy a new hard drive, you can get a 7 200 RPM one which has better performance on a disk of 5 400 rpm, but it shorten the time between charges of battery a bit.

    You will also need to buy a set of recovery disks.  Info to do this is on the link below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

    If you can still read the Vista product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop, you can also make your own Vista installation DVD.

    Here's how:

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

    If any of the files that begin with tmp exist in this folder, do not remove any other files. Files .cat in this folder are necessary for installing hotfixes and service packs.

    Important: Do not rename the folder C:\windows\system32\catroot. The Catroot2 folder is automatically recreated by Windows, but the C:\windows\system32\catroot folder is not recreated if is renamed the folder C:\windows\system32\catroot.

  • Cannot open and view the files on a Vista Home Premium 32-bit networking machine

    My laptop running Vista Home 32-bit pre SP2 has been networked with my desktop running XP V2002 Pro SP 3 for a long time.  Until recently, the files were shared back without problem.  After a Windows Update, a few days ago my Vista machine keep gel.  After a diagnosis, I have disabled some startup software Google and McAfee and services programs and did a system restore to March 31 to resolve the problem of gel.   However, I can't restore the capacity on the laptop of Vista file sharing.  This Vista laptop is able to ping the XP machine and see and access the files on the XP machine.  But the XP machine can't Ping the Vista laptop (application expires) and when you click on the list of the Vista laptop for the task force on the XP machine, it gives the error message \\Laptop is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The network path was not found. I tried various fixes suggested.  All have failed. (1) turned power off the modem cable & wireless router, restarted and connected the modem and router computers in after the computer restarted. (2) Turned off all 3rd party software and even restarted the laptop Vista in safe mode with network.  Could not even Ping the laptop of Vista on the XP machine or access the notebook icon in the Working Group in MyNetwork places. (3) Made that exception file sharing and printer is selected in the Windows Firewall settings. (4) checking network and sharing Center.  Discovery of the network, file sharing, sharing public folders, & Printer Sharing set on "On".  Sharing still protected by password set to 'Off '. (5) group named network WORKING Group on both machines. (6) the fact that individual records are always set to 'share '. (7) in the properties of wireless network connections, Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) has been disabled. (8) has a netsh winsock reset on the Vista laptop.   Am I missing something else? This problem would go away if I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 on the laptop / Windows 7 can network with a XP Pro machine? Thanks to all those who have ideas on what the problem may be.

    If there is no Vista 64-bit drivers available for this Canon printer, you will need to spend the XP Canon printer to a compatible printer Vista 64 bit if you want to print from it.

    Canon has written drivers for their products, not Microsoft.

    Check yourself on the Canon Website driver as to what drivers are available for this printer:
