AND I DID IT!

  Here's the pases:
  (1) I assume that you have installed Windows Vista or Windows 8 with AHCI in the BIOS!
  Download 2) my registry fix (to add keys to the ide to regeditor) simply apply the key
  (3) now manually part regedit go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_Msahci
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStor
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_iaStorV

  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_System_CurrentControlSet_Services_PciIde
  , and then change the value of start on '0 '.

  (4) now that you're allmost done, restart your laptop computer and go to Bios and set between AHCI and IDE! Save the settings in the Bios and restart

  (5) Windows will be loading and VOILA! NO BSOD! , windows Vista / seven will install new Ide drivers and that you will see in the windows Device Manager you have more AHCI drivers, you have the Ide drivers!
  (6), he is invited to restart another, just restart and you will be happy

• Windows 7 and 8 dual boot

  Hi, I receive a TouchSmart from HP Envy 15-j023sa for Christmas. http://www.johnlewis.com/hp-envy-touchsmart-15-j023sa-laptop-intel-core-i5-4gb-ram-1tb-15-6-touch-sc....

  If I had to choose between Windows 7 and 8, I would prefer 8 to the Appstore, and with the laptop's touch and be impressed with Windows 8, when I tried it. I've been thinking to dual boot Windows 7 and 8 on the laptop, as I have a few games that is not compatible with Windows 8. I understand that the old operating system must be installed first.

  The best sollution would be to upgrade to Windows 7, a copy of Windows 8 and install it on a different partition or y at - it an easy sollution? And will it affect my warranty of 3 years? I would also like to ask quickly on Ubuntu. I find myself probably won't install on this machine that I've read about the compatibility issues with Windows 8, but will it affect my warranty should I choose to do?

• Install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 with win7 dual boot and windows 8

  I can install windows 7 in Envy DV7-7234 with Windows 8 buth with dual boot: win7 and windows 8?

  Installing Windows 7 on your HP ENVY computer Notebook dv7-7234nr is not supported by HP. In addition, no Windows 7 driver is listed on HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 and it will support the installation of Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not support some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the ' settings of BIOS ' settings below page;

  

  Then, start Windows 8 and run the console 'disk management '. Using "Shrink Volume", reducing the size of the "C:" partition about half of its original size. Name of the partition "C:" to something like "Windows 8". Now, start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, making sure to select "UEFI - internal CD/DVD" or "UEFI - ATAPI CD/DVD ' and not ' Legacy - CD/DVD internal."  (I recommend using a disc of Windows 7 SP1latest drivers have been included in this topic. The use of the SP1 disc usually resolves most disk hard AF and other issues. )

  Install Windows 7 on the partition without label that was established earlier when you shrunk the partition "C:". Continue to install WIndows 7 by / responding to all the guests. Once you download Windows 7 on your computer, we have to track down the compatible drivers for it. Please list all the "hardware ID" for unknown or missing devices.

  original title: no wireless network

  That's your problem.  You will need to determine which makes your wireless card, go to their website and download the latest driver for 64-bit Windows 7 32 0r according to your material.  If its inbult to your computer, visit vender of your computer (HP, Toshiba, etc) for the correct driver.

• No sound in Windows 7 after installing dual boot Ubuntu (Sound Blaster Audigy)

  I recently put my Windows 7 system to dual-boot with Ubuntu 9.10.

  Now, Ubuntu will play audio through my Sound Blaster Audigy, but Windows 7 will not. I reinstalled all the drivers and installed correctly. I went through the troubleshooting Control Panel section; She didn't find any problem, but there is still no sound. When I play music, volume control shows that the audio is playing.

  I can only assume that there is a problem with the installation of Ubuntu, that seems odd, since BONES are on separate partitions on my hard drive. Like I said, Ubuntu played outside the Audigy with no problems.

  Meanwhile I use my onboard sound for Win7, but I'd love to get my audigy...

  Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

  Nope checked all the possible power for audio setting in windows 7.  The only solution I found was disabling Audigy, plug in my onboard sound, allowing it and restart the computer.  On restart I could activate audigy, plug on it and activate the audigy player.  It was my only solution, but this is not going to work whenever I want to use ubuntu. No solution practice.

• Cannot print through USB on Windows 8 router, but can through windows 7 and Vista

  Problem:

  I have a printer that works for both computers windows 7 and vista.  I have two computers windows 8 that do not work.
  Material:
  laptop Toshiba P50 brand new.
  Router Asus RT - N16 rooted with the TomatoUSB firmware.
  Printer/scanner color Samsung CLX-3180.
  Symptoms:
  I can get the printer to operate if connected directly via USB.  The new Samsung universal of the generic drivers work.
  Even the driver connected via TCP/IP causes the printer to beep and the power wheels to run but nothing comes out.  It looks like windows and the printer think print things.
  What I've tried so far:
  Uninstalled all printer drivers and ports.  Then reinstalled with fresh downloaded drivers.  I had to erase the registry because pilots and port were considered to be in use.
  I have disabled the firewall without result.

  I fixed it finally I think.

  Here's what I did.
  -Deleted all drivers in the system.  (1) remove the 2 devices) remove the driver through "(propriétés dele de serveur d'impression 3) delete all created ports through"the print server properties""
  -Download the new drivers. type 64-bit
  -printer installed using Samsung universal driver 2 and player USB connection as required by the manufacture.
  -installed the TCP/IP port using the TomatoUSB facility and former driver of windows 7.  (wrong system to not check to see if the printer is online)  The pilot was CLX-3180
  -Changed the driver properties Advanced printer to "Sansung Universal Driver 2" tab
  -Change of printer model for Samsung CLX-3180 in the printer - Options tab of the device properties.
  -L' printer select clicked the button when changing the port.  Don't know what it does.

• Windows XP and Vista does support Multi processors

  Hello

  Could someone tell me if material motherboards today multiprocessor support Windows XP and the same for Windows Vista?  If yes would someone also indicate which version of Windows XP and Vista no it support and even for 32/64-bit options? I read that you need Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today? Is this correct?

  Thanks in advance

  Victor

  If the material is supported on a given operating system is determined by the manufacturer equipment.  If they support a given operating system, then you are good to go.  If they do not, things will be less a lot rougher.

  However, as a general rule, the professional level of the Windows operating systems support multiple processors if that is your only concern.  I hope you understand the difference between multiple processors and multiple cores.  :-)

  Answers to your, "you must have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today?  Is this correct? "query is, 'no, No '.

  For Windows Vista (I want to jump, if I thought to upgrade):
  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-hardware/multi-core-processor-and-multiprocessor-limit-for/d00780f8-76e8-4AF6-AA49-e64a7007c17f

  In regard to the 64-bit or 32 - bit - still once it comes down to the support of manufacturer of material for a given operating system * and * the said OS architecture.

  It of for homework, isn't it?

• Sharable desktop to any number (say up to 50) of users in Windows XP and Vista when all are connected to a wireless ad-hoc network? Or is there a limit on the number of users that can be shared? ___Thanks

  Need to have this configuration in a classroom environment.

  I don't know what you mean when you ask a desktop or sharing users.

  A network computer can share files and printers with other computers, but there are limits that might make it unusable for you.  Windows XP and Vista allow 5 or 10 concurrent connections by other computers, depending on the version.

  You need an operating system of Windows Server or Linux server to allow for more concurrent connections to shared files and printers.

  I also fear that an ad - hoc network does not work well with 50 computers.

• 10 free of charge during the first year Windows update - include Windows XP and Vista?

  Hello

  I read in the press last week that Microsoft will offer a free upgrade of Windows 10 for users of Windows 7 and 8 for a period of one year after its initial launch.  My question is Microsoft will expand the offering to users of Windows XP and Vista?

  As long as the material can cope with the new operating system - and it seems to be able to scale up to a certain extent - surely, it would be more beneficial to all parties that as many possible Windows users get the new standard rather than race systems not supported / dangerous or ineffective.

  I know several users who are quite happy with their existing equipment, but are showing more concern with the lack of support from their systems and they cannot afford to upgrade their hardware right now.  There are also many companies who do not want the additional costs of purchasing new computers if its computers are fit - for-purpose (except for the lack of OS support...).

  If the grand design is to get Windows facilities as 10 in the first year, then it would seem preferable to offer either to these users:

  (a) a free upgrade like any other Windows user

  (b) a small fee upgrade - say £10 - get to 10 Windows

• Windows 7 and vista limit the number of files to select and print or open to 15. Need a work around to push this limit.

  Windows 7 (and Vista) when you select more than 15 files in Explorer, the 'Print' and 'Open' selections under the 'File' menu disappear.  This is very annoying, because I work with a lot of text files and selecting them 15 at once is heavy and prone to errors.  I need a work around to raise this limit to about 60.  I never had no problem to do under XP or previous editions of windows.  I have a fast computer or memory but windows 7 won't let me use it: it of like buying a ferrari and the merchant sends a padlock on the accelerator and said "...". you will son... This is for your own safety! "It's very frustrating.

  Maybe, it's a limitation of the program that you use to open the files. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery, and even if I select more than 500 files at the same time, the open and print commands can be used.

  By the way: the number of places of a Ferrari is very limited. ;-)

  Connect the USB microphone (to aft port on a desktop computer, any port for laptop). Then right click on speaker icon lower right task bar. Click recording devices. Highlight the USB microphone. Speak into the microphone. Green bars should move up and down like you're talking about. If they do not, click Properties and then the levels tab level slider move to 100%, click OK and test speaking into the microphone again to see if green bars go up and down. If they don't, try a different USB port.

  For the analog microphone test the same way. Use a Mic back in port, not one alone on the front or on a monitor.

  Microphone work, go into Control Panel, speech recognition, and microphone Set prior to the formation of WSR (Windows speech recognition).
