• Can I install Win7 upgrade on another computer after upgrade Win8 on my computer?

  Initially, my computer came with Vista installed. Three years ago, I bought an upgrade to Win7 and installed. A few months ago, I bought and installed an upgrade of Win8 on the same computer. I have another computer running Vista, and I was wondering if I could use the Win7 upgrade license to upgrade this computer. Technically, the upgrade of Win8 could meet the requirements with the Vista license on the original computer. I run Win7 on the other computer without having to buy a new license. Is this possible? The upgrade disks are details of Microsoft.

  Yes, it is possible. Because the machine was originally license with a qualification license (Vista), he would take the place of this license, thus freeing the Windows 7 Upgrade to serve elsewhere. So, Yes, you can transfer it to other Vista machine.

• When Vista starts, getting the error 'settings.ini is being used by another process. Another close program, click Retry, or click Cancel out side bar.

  Why my computer always say that when I turn it on: "settings.ini is being used by another process. Another close program, click Retry, or click Cancel out side bar.

  Hi VeronicaSanchez,
   
  -Remember to make changes to your computer after that this problem started to happen?
   
  We will put the computer in a clean boot state to identify the application at the root of this problem.
   

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

• executable files: cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

  Hello
  I created a file named test.bat on my desk
  baptized "test.bat" and sent the notebook, wrote "REM" and recorded.
  so, I closed my notebook and reopened, has added another "REM" and saved the file again.
  then I tried to rename, move the file to another folder and delete
  everything went without any problems.

  But if I create the file and run it, the command prompt will appear for a while and then disappear.
  I can rename or move the file without any problem,
  But if I try to edit the file in Notepad, I get this error:

  and the file is not saved.

  also, if I try to delete the file, it seems to be deleted until I press F5, the file appears again.
  When you try to rename/move this new file, I get another error:

  in this file

  It seems the file is opened (or if I choose to delete) after a few minutes, then it is not if I try to access
  the file (I kept pressing F5 every few seconds for 15 minutes and the file is missing)
