    It depends only on the BONE of the application server.

  • Why can't I just reinstall Windows 7 on changed hardware - die peripheral USB installation

    I have Windows 7 Professional installed from the original CD of Microsoft.  Also had Linux Kubuntu installed (dual boot).   I changed the motherboard and processor and graphics card, and Ubuntu boot still works.  So I know that the material is very good.

    But Microsoft Windows wouldn't start.  OK, I decided to reinstall Windows 7.

    I can't reinstall it either - in BIOS, works for keyboard, but at the start of Windows 7 installation of the CD, it seems that USB is broken completely, the USB keyboard and the mouse do not work, so I can't go to the next installation screen.

    What about Microsoft?  I thought you were better than Linux with the ease of use.  I want Windows for ease of use, I want Linux for stability.  Me to doubt what do you want?

    Thank you

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I am happy to know that you were able to solve the problem partially. Here in this situation, I suggest you try to install the latest drivers from the chipset of the computer manufacturer's website and check if it helps.

    See the following Microsoft Help article to install the drivers.

    Please reply with the status of the issue so that we can confirm that the problem is completely resolved.

  • Can't update or reinstall Windows 8.0 - 8.1

    Well, I'm frustrated. My Acer Aspire P3 has corrupted Windows files. It cost me $55.00 for a tech get my computer to boot from a black screen. I'm unable to update or reinstall Windows make for "missing" files I also tried to install Windows 10 but I get an error code 80070005 It happens every time I tried. So, what are my options at this point? Is there anyway to "force" my computer back to factory settings?

    Thank you.

    In conclusion, I wouldn't need to take my Acer computer in the fix - it shop, in the first place. The protected recovery partition (refresh/re-install Windows) should be accessible through Windows without having to perform a recovery from USB when I first bought the computer or buy a fresh Acer today.

  • What if I need to reinstall windows?

    I'm about to buy Photoshop CS5, but in the past I had problems with my system. If I need to reinstall windows (on the same machine) I'll be able to reinstall Photoshop?

    Kind regards

    John

    usually with the installations of Adobe, you get a limited number of activations in cases such as the failures of the system.  If you're simply halters

    relevant BONE because you want to freshen up your system, you will need to deactivate your license and reactivate it after reinstalling your OS and Photoshop.  But if a catastrophic failure takes precedence over your ability to turn off you will still be able to activate your license.  You can also always contact Adobe for installation problems that you would potentially and discuss your case so they can increase the limit of your activations on a case-by-case basis.

    The real purpose of the multiple activations must be used on secondary computers (e.g. laptops)

  • have a lenovo G570 computer and recently lost the cd/dvd drive. What can I do to reinstall?

    The cd/dvd drive used to work properly. Now when I put a cd or dvd, it will not engage or start. I can hear him enter and try to start.
    When you click on my computer, the drive does not appear.
    Don't know how it disappeared. Could be that some Windows Update? or when I installed the new kaspersky (do not think that it was really a cause)
    Not a Moody person so don't know what else to do. I did go back and do a restore, but that did not help.
    Given that the drive does not work I can not use the original disk, I created when I got the computer. Computer is about 2 years old... maybe a little less.

    Oh, the only other possible cause I can think of is when I was wrong with my browser and load my att yahoo account. A representative of ATT spocked in my computer and worked behind the scenes to fix. Has they deleted my firefox and temporary files. Unfortunately I do not know exactly when I lost the cd/dvd drive. At this time, but I can't say for sure.

    Let me know if there is something other information that you may need to help solve the problem. Thank you!

    Moved the site feedback

    Try to scan your computer with RadarSync to find out if your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver is out of date or not. You can go for the free version. Once find you that it's really an outdated driver can cause the problem, then you can update the driver by searching in Google it or let the software do it for you.

    I hope this helps!

  • Repair files missing or corrupt when I can't repair or reinstall windows.

    Problem is with XP Pro Service Pack 2
    Error messages for corrupt files on restart to load the security updates

    Help! Microsoft killed my laptop. After you have installed the latest security news (20 different downloads) my laptop gave the error message after restarting this file \system32\ntoskrnl.exe was missing or corrupt and deserved to be recopied. I did a reboot F12 loaded XP disk and made a boot from the CD. The drive tries to reload windows but fails during the copy of the drivers with another mistake this symc8xx.sys file is damaged or missing. I've spent a couple of data recovery in a hundred during the installation of service pack 3 gave me the blue screen of death. I can't copy the drivers or restart in safe mode. I pulled and reinserted the memory. Unhooked and rehooked the HD pulled the battery and then reinserted. I am so tired of MS release a product of poor quality with patches and fixes to do more harm than good.

    I had this same thing happen to me once. What I did was went in bought a new hard drive and rebuilt the machine from the bottom to the top. I'm not fun, but I still have all my files and a lot like hard, which made me happy.

    Good luck, I hope someone has a better solution for you. Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

  • How can I reinstall Windows Vista without the disc?

    original title: what to do?

    Staples load Vista on my computer but never gave me the disc, I need to format my drive, but I have to for on activation code reinstall. What should do?

    Staples load Vista on my computer but never gave me the disc, I need to format my drive, but I have to for on activation code reinstall. What should do?

    You probably have a restore disk partition that can be used to reinstall Windows. See your documentation or check with Staples to learn more.

    Note that formatting the drive and reinstalling WIndows are a very bad approach to address any problem. What makes you think you need to do this?

    And please note that a subject line that says: "What to do?" we said nothing and is likely to get your question ignored by many people. The subject must always be a brief description of what the problem is - in your case, something like "Want to reinstall but have no disc."
