  Why can I not use my old genuine copy of windows vista on my new pc?
  I received an activation message and I don't know what to do

  If your Vista came pre-installed in your old PC, then this is an OEM license that cannot be transferred to your new PC.

  Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

  You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
  If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.

• Why the temperature shows on my watch always different temperature on the watch of my husband when they use the same application?

  Why the temperature still showing on my watch shows a different temperature than on my husband watch when they both use the same weather app?

  Hi Jodie

  If you are each using the weather app (which is included in the framework of the iOS and watchOS), the following steps can help (followed by each of you):

  • On your iPhone, in the weather app:
    • If using anything other than the current location (which is included by default), make sure you have each added to a common location / city.
    • To add another location, select the icon «+»
  • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > weather > default City > make sure you have each selected at the same location (for example: place of current residence or Mount Laurel).
  • On your iPhone, go to: settings > privacy > location Services:
    • Ensure that the location service is enabled;
    • Make sure Apple Watch is face value while it helps;
    • Check that the weather is set to always;
  • On your iPhone, go to: settings > general > background App update:
    • Check that the bottom App Refresh is enabled.
    • It can also help to activate the setting for the weather.
  • For optimal performance of your watch, keep the Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled at all times on your iPhone:
    • iPhone: settings > Bluetooth - on.
    • iPhone: settings > Wi - Fi - on.

• Why the tabs that require authentication moving in a new window?

  I start the value "show my windows and tabs from last time '. Many of these tabs require authentication and once the authentication to complete the tab is moved to a new window. This behavior started only recently. I saw this happen on at least two computers.

  This seems to be fixed on its own. Maybe an update fixed. To answer you question cor - el, all pages are opened by clicking the sign + to open a new tab and this by clicking on a bookmark on the bookmarks bar. As I said above I keep several tabs always open and a few require authentication. When close firefox and then running it again, after the Authentication tab moves to a new window.

  In any case thanks for the replies.

• Why the aid used microsoft online service accept my id for vista?

  Microsoft destroy me!

  (1) a recent update from windows destroyed my main user profile.

  I looked through a lot of online help, but unfortunately nothing worked.

  The problem now is that I get the error message "cannot create the user account.

  (2) not only that, but I can not add a new user or change my only other because it requires the password admin (link to my main profile) who is corrupt!

  (3) the 'help' that I got from microsoft are not accessible because for some unknown reason my Vista product ID is not recognized by the online help tool. I can not even the system to look for because activeX requires the admin password to run (which I mentioned is corrupt?.) The online help tool, then asks me to pay £45 to contact the support team who's pretty cheeky.

  Any help is welcome warmly.
