Win7 PRO update - to get the Windows XP Compatibility Mode = No. WORKY!

I bought a fairly expensive system, it comes w / no NEED Win7 HOME edition-paid the cost of upgrade ridiculous just so that I could have programs Windows XP compatibility because NONE of the programs my WinXP Pro embarks on this edition of Crapola from windoze to find that you have to DOWNLOAD.

Pleasant for people who must pay for their bandwidth because they have satellite systems because * NEWSFLASH to MICROSOFT * broadband high speed is not available nationwide!

Thus, after 6 DOWNLOADS of the Retarded _ "prove it is a true copy of Windoze ' message - he FINALLY admits that ' Yes, I really waste my money on this _ rather than buy a REAL operating system! and sends me to the download link (FINALLY).

So, I try to download this _ any way & it starts to download, 4 HOURS later I get:

C:\Downloads\WindowsXPMode_en-US.exe could not be saved because the source file could not be read.

Try again later or contact the server administrator.

different 3 times, I received this after 17 HOURS TOTAL of download.

So I send a message to 'Technical Support' where I said that I have to wait 24 hours for a bloody response. NICE. REALLY GOOD.

Why the _ is not only included on the stupid Win 7 DISC? As you know GD although normal programs will not work win 7! ???

Someone at - it a number of telephone CONTACT for WINDOZE? I am so sick of dressing - I have a business to run and it gets OLD very fast.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

  • Satellite Pro A300 - I get the 'Windows search' if I left click on any folder

    I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 and it downgraded to Windows XP SP3.

    When I click the icon of any folder on my hard drive I got the "Windows Search" window instead of the folder. When I right click on any folder icon, the first item on the menu (in bold) is "search".

    How can I change the order of these items in menu so as 'Open' is the first element?

    Delete (Control Panel Add / Remove Programs) the installation of Windows Search without affecting any software I have loaded?

    Looking for Windows installation installed the likely cause of my problem?

    Thank you

    Murray

    Just solved my problem:

    1. the order of the items in the context menu of files can be changed by updating actions for file types specified in the Folder Options Menu. Select Folder Options + of + the + Tools + menu of any folder, select + File Types + and scroll to the bottom for * file *. Click on * advanced * then * New * and add * open * with * Explorer * as the program to use. Click on * OK * and * Close * and bingo! Appears in the order of the menu shortcut in XP is open before you search, but in XP Pro followed research of Open / Explore.

    2. the utility Windows search can be deleted without problem despite the warning launched - Microsoft Web site indicates the warning is simply a generic warning and it is highly unlikely that removal will affect all software installed since the loading search utility.

    3. the Windows Search utility is NOT the cause of this problem.

    Trust that the other could save hours of research that I had to do to find this solution...

  • Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

    Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

    IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

    4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.
