• have replaced vista Home Premium, with a fresh install of Win 7 pro full of detail. Can I use Vista lic. on a new box as it will always be active on one box only?

  the question in the title,

  Hi, Jim,.

  Windows 7 update?

  If a version upgrade, I do not think so because if detects before installing the files of the previous OS (Vista).  If the previous operating system is not there, it will not be installed.

  If you have wiped the drive and installed Windows 7 and Windows Vista is the OEM supplied with the system, version no.

  Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
   
  See if you are able to play the game.

  If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

  1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
   
  2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
   
  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
   
  4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

• How to make a Win Vista Home Premium PC to operate in "XP Mode"?

  Hello

  My Win Vista Home Premium PC cannot 'see' my Canon Lide 30 Scanner or work with my Canon printer i865. Install the software and drivers on the provided disks not even because of "compatibility issues".

  For this reason the "updates available" on the Canon site (for applications and drivers on the disks) only will be not installed because 'old' versions are not on my pc.

  My pc can 'see' - if that is the right word - my printer in settings, but no further acknowledges that this, and even when the printer is turned on it will not even try to print anything.

  If I can still understand how to get the Vista pc to "run in xp mode" - assuming there is an 'xp mode' for Windows vista to use - this will allow my computer to use the printer and scanner.

  There is nothing really wrong with the printer or scanner while they worked fine with the XP pc.

  Software compatibility problems are more precisely to do with two pilots and the ocr software for the scanner and ALL the drivers and the software of the printer.

  I hope someone can help because I don't want to have to get a different printer/scanner (or upgrade to Win 7 - will this regognise OS my printer and scanner?)

  These options are all too expensive.

  Thanks for any help

  Bob

  Hello Bob,

  Compatibility mode is supposed to help eleviate problems not to cause even more problems :-)

  You can actually get some decent printer/scanner price FRO reasonable combinations of our days. You could try (if in the United Kingdom) is Wilkinson (Wilko) stores; W.H.Smith; and Ryman.

  Another alternative is to dual-boot your server (assuming you have aretail copy of XP). This invloves XP install on another partition on your hard drive. The only drawback is that you would have to boot XP to use your printer (assuming that you keep your current).

  I currently have a brother printer copy Scanner that I bought the Ryman stationery, a few years ago. I only paid about £50 for it at the time. My only problem with the brother machine is that there is no way (on my model in any case) to turn the printer off cleaning option. As the PC and the printer are in my room the printer starts always clean at about 04:00. It is not fun to be surprised into a deep sleep by strange noises coming from the printer :-)

• Unable to scan or copy with my Lexmark x 5650 on 32 bit Vista Home premium

  So initially the installation, I had no problem with my Lexmark x 5650 printer, but in the last 3-4 months, I can't scan. She was driving me bananas more recently as I uninstalled it and reinstalled the software and drivers repetively, changed and changed the settings of the back over and over again and search forums for anything will do. I think even just buy a new printer altogether, as the headache of it does not seem worth when well even I got it since last Christmas.

  the facts:

  I have a printer all-in-one lexmark, model x 5650

  I have an intel pentium D running Vista Home premium 32-bit

  I have automatic updates of windows.

  I can print.

  I have never tried the fax.

  I can't scan.

  I can't copy with the lexmark productivity studio application, but I cannot directly from the printer.

  If I select scan directly from the printer, it just says: "downloading application list" but it never downloads.

  When you use the Lexmark productivity Studio scan option, I get an error that says "scan failed. Try these solutions - make sure that the printer's power on and ready. -Make sure that the front usb port is not connected. -Disconnect and reconnect the usb cable. -Disconnect and reconnect the printer power cable. -Restart your computer. For any additional help, use the Lexmark service center. "but none of that actually works.

  If anyone has the answers to this madness, it would be greatly appreciated, because I can't scan and it makes my heart hurt. Thank you.

  I had the problem of the 'Application download list' with the similar X 4550 wireless printer. If you have downloaded the drivers and firmware from the website (this even if they seem to be the same versions that you already have), this procedure was the only way to get the scanner working again.

  • Find the IP address of the printer (see page 129 of the http://www.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/2007/5600-6600/v7677571_en.pdf manual)
  • Enter the IP address in the address bar of your browser and press enter
  • You should now have a Lexmark administration page. Click on Configuration
  • Click scan to network host management
  • Check delete all registered guests
  • Click Remove
  • Power switch and the  

  If all goes well, you should find something similar for your printer.

• Eliminate the prompt at startup to sign as an administrator or guest in Windows Vista Home Premium

  I write on behalf of a client. The customer wants to know how to remove the prompt at startup to sign as an administrator or guest in Windows Vista Home Premium. I hope to hear from you.

  I write on behalf of a client. The customer wants to know how to remove the prompt at startup to sign as an administrator or guest in Windows Vista Home Premium. I hope to hear from you.

  The computer does NOT prompt you to sign any particular account.
  He simply open a connection with all available accounts screen and the user must specify the logon account.

  The user has an option to configure the computer automatically log on to the user account without going through the login screen.
  BUT, to do that, the user must be administrator or in possession of an admin password.

• Reinstalled lost images of Vista Home premium

  I have Vista home premium, I had a problem with my computer and I ended up reinstalling it back to factory settings. I have no backup of the photos and I was wondering if there is a way to get back them?

  If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

  You can try this program:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

  Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.
