What is Direct3D acceleration and it is available on my Windows Vista computer?
Original title: now, I said that the Direct3D acceleration is not available on my computer - what is it and how do I get it?
As above - I do not have direct x thingies - they are not available so how do them if I need to watch movies
To all those who require it:
Here is a list of possible solutions to your problems. Follow them in order.
Step 1: Ensure the hardware acceleration is set to Full
1. click on the Start button and look for "screen resolution." Open the link entitled "adjust screen resolution."
2. click on "Advanced" at the bottom left.
3. go to the "Troubleshooting" tab If there is an option to do this, click on "change settings". After that, move the "Hardware Acceleration" slider up. If this option is not available, please proceed to step 2 below.
4. click on 'OK '. If it prompts you to restart, restart your PC.
Now try to check the diagnosis DirexctX (search for "dxdiag" in the start menu). If you can activate all the features (Direct3D, DirectDraw, etc), then your problem is solved. If not, keep reading.
Step 2: Install the latest DirectX Runtimes
1. go to the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=35
2 download the web setup of DirectX Wizard.
3. After downloading, run the installer and follow its instructions to install the latest runtimes, DirectX on your PC.
4. when it has finished, restart your computer.
Now try to check the diagnosis DirexctX (search for "dxdiag" in the start menu) again. If you can activate all the features (Direct3D, DirectDraw, etc), then your problem is solved. If this is not the case, try to repeat step 1 again. If the problem persists, continue reading.
If you have followed the steps above and you still cannot activate features DirectX, please say so and I'll try to find other solutions. In addition, if you can, please indicate your motherboard and the chipset manufacturer. This problem seems to persist specifically on VIA chipsets and motherboards, and I want to check if this is the case with you.
Hope that helps,
Rifdhan

No network adapter driver is available after reinstalling Windows Vista installation disk... Unable to connect to the network
Hello
Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.
It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

My product key was taken out of my turn to my children and I can't reactivate my windows vista is there a way to recover my product key?
original title: product keyHello
As you have lost the product key of the Tower, it is a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.
They give you a different product key.
What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.
Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.
None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

Can I copy the computer my brother Vista System32 folder and navigate through it on my Windows 7 computer? I like to compare the old and the new and see what works, but I'm not sure it's legal, and I assure you.
Hi Aaron Campbell,
To help focus in the right direction, I would like to know what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
You try to compare windows vista and windows 7?
Yes, you can copy the folder system32 on a flash drive and then compare it with windows 7.
The System32 folder and its subfolders contain files of system operating base for your installation of windows operating system. See the link below for more information:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457124.aspx
Note:
ؠ You cannot copy all the contents of the system32 on the flash player folder because the essential components are in use.
ؠ Do not replace or try to copy the system32 (from windows vista) folder for drive C on windows 7, the computer may become unstable.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much
The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes. If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.
If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help. Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs). A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem. And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).
I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.
Good luck!

I bought Photoshop elements 13 and did not know that the Windows Vista operating system is not supported. How to exchange the 13 elements of Photoshop for a version of Photoshop that supports the Windows Vista operating system?
Adobe does not sell older versions of their software, the best you could expect if the software will not work on Vista is to get a refund.
Please see return, cancel or Exchange an order - Adobe
