• 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! ???

• reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

  We have 4 old desktop computers with windows xp I want to reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

  I bought a HP desktop computer and dell preinstalled with Windows XP. The office has not worked for a few years, he has the processor are P4 and slow work.

  I recently bought a desktop computer and wanted to know can I use the same license key to get Windows XP installed on my new desktop computer.

  Note: I have lost my original installation of windows CD but have the office and Windows XP product code is available to me.

  The old HP desktop and dell came with a license with the sticker on the side.

  Any PC which came with a sticker with a key to activate product on it has a license that is related to this PC (and only this PC) for ever. It is not legal to install on a PC using the key videos from another PC.

  If the PC you want to install XP on still has its sticker, then as much as you have a compatible installation XP CD, XP can be re-installed using the key on the sticker.

  Only commercial versions of XP can be moved from one PC to another. With the commercial versions, the activation key came with the media, not on a label stuck on the PC.

• Windows 7 Compatibility Mode behavior

  I am reproducing this issue I posted earlier, at superuser.com without getting any response. I need to know the answer to this question; more and more of my users have this problem.

  http://superuser.com/questions/743064/Windows-7s-compatibility-mode-behavior

  Review the settings of Mode of Application compatibility for a typical Windows program:

  

  The question is: what exactly will happen to the environment (in particular, access to C:\ProgramData) provided by Windows in the program where the only change is to set properties for compatibility with WinXP SP3, as follows:

  

  The background:

  An application that has been updated during the golden age of Windows XP gives us some problems now. Specifically, it is optimized to use a .NET library to write files in a subdirectory in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% area (on Windows 7, this is generally C:\ProgramData ) which are essential to the license of the application. The files themselves are plain text files.

  These text files are created and written to using a much newer and separate program .NET that works without problems, write the files to the right place. But then the old program does not read the files correctly; We have not been able to determine exactly what is happening.

  Many users find that setting compatibility mode allows the system to function properly. I need to better understand that much.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

• Windows 7 drivers for old bridge

  Hey guys, I recently got an old computer Gateway 510 SE. I had Windows XP on the machine for a while and wanted to install Windows 7 on it. I ran the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" and everything was consistent. The only problem was that the Aero feature is not supported, but this isn't a big deal and didn't effect me that much. I then installed windows 7 on the computer and I easily installed the audio driver in Device Manager. However, I wasn't able to do it with the graphics driver or Modem PCI driver. I did some research and I very hard to find compatible drivers. Bare in mind that I did the following:

  -J' tried install not found drivers in "compatibility" Mode

  -J' tried install not found drivers as administrator

  I installed Windows 7 on an old Dell Dimension 2400 and works very well. However, I can't understand it. I'm very confused, and help would be very appreciated.

  Here are some features:

  Gateway 510 SE

  Intel (r) Pentium (r) CPU 2.60 GHz

  1.50 GB RAM

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Thank you

  Mark

  To start 1.5 G of ram will hardly and drivers will even official support site offers no more card reader and AHCI SATA for W7 drivers.

  Time to upgrade the computer if you really want to move to W7.

  If this isn't the case, I would stick with XP (half of the computer world is still using it) that he would perform the pants off of W7 on this computer, even if you could get the W7 drivers for it which do not exist.

• Windows 95 compatibility

  Windows 7 has a Windows 95 compatibility mode for older games?

  Lance68,

  Yes, it's done, but it is not 100% guaranteed to work correctly. This works for some programs, but not for all.

  Right-click of your program, properties tab check "Run in compatibility mode" and W95 is top of the list. There are also some specific options like use res 640 x 480 or 256 colors etc.

  But nothing is certain in what concerns if the program is running or not.

  Make sure your drivers are updated... and tell the program to run in compatibility mode.

  Original title: installation of Windows 7.

  I install Windows 7 on a new drive. My old drive is Windows XP and all my old data.

  IF I had to unplugging the old drive and install Windows 7 on the new drive and then plug the old drive and restart Windows 7 with the old drive as a slave, windows see the old drive as a second drive and view all data on this drive?

  Yes, it will be. The old man will be the slave and you can copy your files and settings to your new Windows 7 install on the new drive.

  It will not move programs, though. They would need to be reinstalled.

  Vista to XP question

  Can I use the product windows XP from my old CPU key to downgrade my new processor from Vista to XP?
