Why is my windows 8 the same touch as my media center key now?

I bought my daughter a laptop that came with a free update for Windows 8 pro for his Grad 2 years previously. When the time came to return in September 2012, we went through the procedure to upgrade the PC to win 8 pro. Everything was good. Sometimes in Oct/12 Microsoft offered free keys for media center we have benefited and active media with the key Center was sent to us by e-mail. Everything was good, everything worked effortlessly, and she liked it, until... the virus. I told my daughter without problem get your keys and that I will reinstall win 8 for you. She told me that she lost the emails with the keys. I said it's ok I'll use Belarc Advisor and get them for you. On my PC it shows me two keys one for Windows 8 pro and one for Media Center, but on his own, it shows the same key for both. How is it? and how do I do a reinstall now? I believe that the key that we see is the key to Media Center, we have received. It will work key to reactivate windows 8? or do I now have a windows 8 pro with media center disc?

When you install the Windows Media Center, it takes the place of the original key from Windows 8 as a qualification license and requires that restart you again.

So if you need to reinstall Windows 8, you need to reinstall with the original product key, reactivate, and then reapply the product key for Media Center.

    I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple windows of the same file open at the same time in Windows XP?

    Thank you!

    You're welcome, Dave. If you click directly on a file, it will be open only once.  That's why I gave an example of starting with work stations and by navigating to the folder (open indirectly).  You can access a the desktop folder in C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop.

  • How to switch between multiple windows in the same application?

    Hello

    I use OS X Capitan version 10.11.13 and I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between multiple windows in the same application by using CTRL + alt or different keys.

    Here is what I feel...

    Let's say I have Outlook, Google Chrome, Safari, iTunes and apps 'about this Mac' open.

    I open the new message window in Outlook and another Chrome window. I have therefore 2 separate windows in Outlook and Chrome.

    With that, I'm unable to move the composition and the window main outlook which is so annoying. Let's say I want to read the emails by the prospect main window and transfer of the content of the compose window! The command + tab doesn't take me to the main window of Microsoft outlook! Even if there were the last visited / applications window. This constraint is not intuitive, unless it can be configured in the settings?

    Strangely, I can't switch to the "about this Mac" window.

    The work around is to use the function (F3) mission button and click on the window, that I want to use or click the "Outlook" application on the dock icon and choose the window in the list.

    Does anyone know how switch between different windows in the same application by using a key combination or one another method other than listed above?

    Thank you

    In general, an Application that can open multiple windows provides a "Windows menu" you can choose the window you want.

    I would limit the window to the same size as my site... How can I do this in Firefox?

    Sorry, this is not possible more in Firefox, with the exception of the pop-up windows that opens a website, and which can be overridden by the user with a simple preference setting in the Options.

    Users cannot change or set the window size in their own browser from the URL bar any longer, they do so through the notebook in the Web Developer menu under the Firefox button.

    Other posters have a difficult time distinguishing tabs and Windows, it seems. With a lot of posters here the two terms are used incorrectly and indifferently, as is the desktop and the window of Firefox, but my understanding is that a lot of this "bad language" is taught in schools.

  • Open/run multiple windows of the same VI

    Hello!

    In my current project, I would like to create a user open multiple windows of the same VI.  I made a re-entry VI:

    This is, actually, a very simple VI which has just a digital control, a loop and a stop button.  Then I have a VI that calls the VI re-entrant.  I would like it so that whenever the user presses the button "Call home VI", a new window of this VI is created and run.

    The first time the button is pressed, the reentrant VI opens and works very well. The title of the VI in the title bar is "Re - Entrant.vi:1 (clone)" (as expected).  When I try to launch another instance I get this error:

    I'm in LabVIEW 2009.

    Thanks for your time.

    I think you can do this with a static reference of VI, because it always points to the same instance of the VI (returning).

    You must open a new instance using Reference of VI open with option 0 x 08 (prepare environment run).

    Hope this helps,

    Daniel

    It is not possible. You can only show monthly appointments at one fell swoop.

    You can view the following items:
