  • Can't use the product key, because 2 of the numbers/letters have rubbed off and I can't read them. What should I do?

    My computer crashed and now I have to put in my product key for microsoft. The only problem is that 2 of the numbers/letters have rubbed off and I can't read them. What should I do?

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • Vista on the computer using hp laptop and when office comes to the screen after start, all icons and programs are amplified.

    This just happened to new start-up of three days. Prior to this time everything worked very well. Also it some dialog boxes asking to click to launch an application platform that we know nothing about. We have looked for answers and went to the Control Panel, easy access and off Magnifier. But it is magnified. All icons and applications and the magnified programs.are. No new programs have been installed, no fonts won't changed, none of the DPI changed by us. . Some have suggested to go into the registry, but I'm not here. There are available restore points to restore. I don't know why there are no restore points.  Even went in safe mode and couldn't find the restore point. Our solutions may be next = copy data, use the restore disk, and all reinstall. GOSH, there must be an easier than treatment... Or go to the computer repair shop. Suggestions? Please, I beg you!

  • When I type text, the text is in a box, and I can't figure out how to make the box go away. I never had this problem before.

    When I type the text in the latest Illustrator, the text is in a white box. I never had this problem before. I can't find out how to make the box go away. What I am doing wrong?

    Today I tried to close Illustrator and re-boot the computer. It did not help. I went on a second computer video/graphics/animation and open Illustrator here. I did a few tests, and he managed to create the text without a box. Then, I opened my first computer Illustrator file form. The boxes were there. I tried to type the new text, and the box was there. When I open the file it says something about a missing font and a replacement. I tried to use this area to locate the police but couldn't. It's the default font on Illustrator on the other computer. A variant of Myriad. I tried to type in the text with a different font. No box. The default font selected by the Illustrator has apparently a box. I didn't try to change the font because it was going well, and because I didn't know any font came with a box. At first, I did all of the text, which was on a white background, so I don't see the boxes of cream. When I added the background image of the boxes appeared. If the problem is resolved. It was a font with a box.

  • Assign a language of document in Acrobat Pro XI and store in Adobe Reader XI

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with Acrobat Pro XI and XI of Adobe Reader. This happens when you assign a language of document to a PDF, Acrobat Pro XI file.

    Whenever I attribute to a language of document in Acrobat Pro XI (I do this by setting the language of the document in the Advanced tab of the file properties dialog box [file > properties]) and open the document in Adobe Reader XI, the language of the document is not preserved. Instead, if I check the playback Options (located in the same place where I set the language of the document, the Advanced tab of the file properties dialog box [file > properties]), there is an empty space next to the 'language '.

    I'm sure I'm doing things. After all, before closing the document (after the assignment of a language of the document), Acrobat Pro XI wonder if I want to save the changes made to the document. Also, if I open the document in Acrobat Pro XI (after assigning a language of the document) and checking playback Options, it says language I selected next to "language". The problem is that the language is not maintained in Adobe Reader XI, I need whether for accessibility reasons.

    So my question: how to assign a language to the document in Acrobat Pro XI and store in Adobe Reader XI?

    Here is a screenshot of the same open document in Acrobat Pro XI both Adobe Reader XI to show what I mean:

    AcrobatReaderSupportScreenshot-Language.png

    Thank you for your help.

    Assistive technologies (screen readers AT - aka) rely on what's in the tree structure of a tagged PDF document. Try to set the parent top of the language of the structure tree.

    Be well...

    I use the current trial of Acrobat DC version. I opened a PDF I created in Corel Draw by publication in PDF format. I tried to copy and paste text from it to a Word 2007 document. The copy option was available, but when I went to the document and chose paste, it was nothing. I then tried the same thing but sticking in a document of Corel. The same problem. It seems that the text has been copied, but I'm unable to paste it into another program. Is this real?

    Is it permanently available text? (Can highlight you)?

    This seems a strange way of working well - why not copied from the draw to Word?

  • When I download compressed files, they go to the local > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local > temp location and delete the zip file?

    When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

    Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

    In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

  • I want to open two different pdf documents and view them at the same time so I can read about everything by watching the other document.  I use Acrobat DC and whenever I open a document it creates a tab and I can only examine a document at a time.

    I want to open two different pdf documents and view them at the same time so I can read a whole watching the other document.  I use Acrobat DC and whenever I open a document, it creates a tab and I can only examine a document at a time. Is it possible to display two or more documents without having to toggle tabs?

    Don't think that will work, but you can drag the tab to a new window. Each window can have a set of tabs.

  • Disappearing Windows Apps but when I go to the store they always see the installed

    When I arrived at the store of Windows apps I had on my tablet installed show but they do not appear on my screen of applications all or my splash screen.  When I hit install it goes through the motions but does not appear in place of ELISA.  Don't know what happened, but it's quite frustrating

    Thanks for the reply.  This number is different from come just released.  If I go to all the apps apps that were once on my Tablet do not show, and when I search my tablet also does not show.  But when I go to the store they show as installed on my surface.  There is a Setup button I hit and it seems to go through the motions well with no errors but then when I go to all the applications that I tried to download is not found.

    I thought that if I could find them I could delete and then reinstall after but I can't find them anywhere on my surface.

    Well, I came across the answer.  somehow my user profile folder has changed to hidden.  I noticed that he was not and changed the properties and the boom that the missing applications are returned.
