  Best regards

• I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost?

  I have a PC with windows 7 Home Premium installed. The PC is faulty and cannot be resolved. Can I reinstall the same Windows 7 to a new computer without additional cost? If yes how can I do this? Some people reported issues license keys and it cannot be registered once in a PC.

  Thank you

  It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.

  Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.

  If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.

• I can't activate my Windows 7 Home Premium because of the area restriction/limitation

  Hello

  I don't know what to do on this subject... just help...
  I bought a genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (I have the license number in a sticker on my laptop) in Indonesia, I installed it in a hurry and I thought that I activated in Indonesia.
  Now I'm in the Canada to study and will not be back to the Indonesia until that Christmas and now I realize that I have not activated yet... (I think it's because as the internet problem in my home country)... He tries to activate whenever I connected to the internet but it says I can't because of the restriction of area - and if I don't activate within 30 days so I can't use (it's time)? ...
  So... what should I do (please don't tell me I have to buy a new one here...)-because I already bought a real (and it's certainly NOT CHEAP)...
  I know that maybe it seems a bit silly but please help. My time is running out...
  Thank you.

• Windows 7 Home Premium cannot map NAS / network storage drives

  Hi, I'm currently on a PC Windows 7 Home Premium and I have two 2 NAS drives.

  I am running a Buffalo Linkstation (old version) and a new Iomega Home Media Network Hard drive.

  Initially I thought it was just my Linkstation from Buffalo who is older and has had no updates of the firmware that cannot be mapped as a network drive. But I just got my new Iomega hard drive today and installed the latest firmware and software. The Iomega software detects the drive and all of its shared folders but the problem is that I can not map any shared folders as a network drive, making it useless on my Windows 7 computer.

  I can access both NAS drives on my windows xp pro machine very well.

  I got off the phone with Iomega technical support and they said that it is a well known problem with Windows 7 Home Premium and readers of Samba. Is there someone out there who can give me a solution? I already tried the fix LMCOMPATIBILITYLEVEL on other forums I found by changing the values 1 or 2 - but still no luck.

  It gives me an error of network even when I try to connect to the ip address of the NAS, however - it appears on my network but I can not access or map!

  I really want to get my readers network running on windows 7 Home Edition premium without having to upgrade to other users are still having problems, I read. It's a little pathetic I can't even map a network drive on my pc.

  I had exactly the same problem with my drive hard Lacie network. If your drive contained donkey type of media, music, or video, Win 7 use the reader as a "Windows Media Connect" device, opening the disk in Media Player, showing only media files...

  This prevents access to all ot0her of the player records.

  However, I found that it is possible to add the drive as a network drive, if you know the name of the root folder.

  In my case, it's "openshare", so when you enter the path to network drive, I use \\192.168.xxx.xxx\openshare, and it allows me to access the drive...

  Why Microsoft chose to make this type of access to the files of so difficult to get simple network, just blows my mind, knowing that WinXP has it done easily...

  I hope you were able to understand my English, and that this could be useful.

  Kind regards

• Windows 7 Home Premium cannot be updated (error 80070490)

  Hello

  I have a x 64 bit desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

  I had a moment to try to solve my problem with Windows Update is not be able to install or to look for new updates for months (ask the error code 80070490) and trying to fix it, have caused more problems that I can't fix.

  I have troubleshooted countless times, including the use of update Windows Diagnostic tool (that does not correct the problem of update). I also tried to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium from the disc, I bought, only to be greeted with an error message containing: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

  So, I took a dagger blow to scouring the many issues on the Microsoft Answers community that are similar or identical to the problem I have. Some answers have led me to running the sfc/scannow command and also a command "findstr" who has given me a list of files that sfc/scannow could not fix. Some have been classified as "cannot repair" and some more serious labeled "can not reproject corrupted file. My next solution was that I should try to reinstall it from my Windows 7 disc, but try to solve the "current version" problem that prevented me to reinstall earlier. An answer I found in the Community said that SP1 needs to be uninstalled for the resettlement of work, so I uninstalled SP1 and rebooted my computer. I tried to reinstall from my drive again and was greeted with the same error as before: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

  Now my problems include:

  • Windows cannot update or check for updates
  • There is I don't know how to fix corrupted files
  • SP1 is no longer on my computer and I can't reinstall it

  Thanks for any help. !

  I want to restart my laptop. I have a copy of windows 7 Home premium since I bought it for my office of game. If I use the CD to install a new window on my laptop. I am able to use my laptop Windows 7 product key to this topic?

  If its licensed OEM System Builder that was never used, Yes. If his license OEM from another computer, no.

  As mentioned, the laptop must already include factory restore options that may allow you to reinstall the operating system from scratch.

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• How to change the stop dialog box?

  So I will try to change the image of the banner of the stop in Vista dialog box, would anyone here happen to know how to do this (or if it is possible)?

  This:

  http://www.vistarevisited.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/quick-shutdown-thumb.jpg
  I checked a few dll in System32 (shell32, Shellstyle.dll, shgina [because the xp shutdown dialog box is apparently 'msgina.dll']) but I don't see anything that had to do with the shutdown dialog box. I thought that it would be better to ask before going through each file in system32.
  Any information would be very helpful, thank you.

  (btw, I searched google and bing nothing works, that's why I ask. "I doubt that many people would want to do this.)

  Thanks for your reply.

  I already searched the internet for the software, and I found a few programs that allow me to edit .dll files (which is what I assume that contains the info dialog box). I want to know is what file contains the dialog box information.

  EDIT: found, I guess this thread can be closed now.

  For future reference, the banner of the shutdown dialog box (among others) is located in C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd\basebrd.dll

  Now I have my Vista Home Premium set up to look as if it was the pinnacle. : D

  including the logo to the login screen (shich is contained in the same file, the file number 120 in the Bitmaps folder.

• Cannot close the import dialog box?

  We scanned the photos of our printer in our Toshiba laptop.  The dialog box import returns to ask us to continue to import.  After clicking on OK, scanning continues.  After the picture is imported, we want to close the dialog box, but it does not close.  We can only reduce.  Then after we have the computer shutdown dialog box will disappear.  Thoughts?

  Hello

  You use any third-party application to import pictures in windows 7?

  I suggest you to change the import settings and check if it helps.

  1. connect the scanner to your computer via a USB cable and turn on the scanner.
  2. in the Autorun dialog box that appears, click on import pictures and videos using the Windows.
  3. to change the parameters that are used when importing pictures and videos, click import settings in the dialog box import pictures and videos .
  4 change one or more settings in the import settings dialog box and then click OK.
  5. click OK to restart import pictures and videos. Type a label in the box mark these images (optional) , and then click import to import your photos
  and videos using the new settings.

  Check if the import area closes after importing the photos.

• Windows Vista Home Premium cannot find Xbox 360 as extender

  This may be long but im giving information as possible.

  I'm good with the computer. My Vista Home Premium computer cannot find my xbox 360 as an Extender. When I use the WIndows media player 11 and share, he sees my xbox very well. Zune software, same thing. My xbox 360 is here no problem on my network in "My Network Places".

  In Media Center, once I typed the 8 digit number it is said that he can not find the Extender. I did the following:

  Reset my router
  Reformat my computer
  Reset my xbox 360
  Double checked I got the right 8-digit number in media center
  Disabled windows firewall
  Went to the tab exceptions and compatible: WIndows Media Center, Media Center Extender, eshell.exe, discovery network
  went to the management of the computer and turned on UPnP device host (changed the startup type to automatic and restarted my computer)
  Permit "filter multicast" in my router settings
  UPnp enabled in my router settings
  Upgrade Vista (with SP1 as well)
  Re-installed the drivers for my wireless card
  Connected to the Xbox 360 WIRED to my router

  Heres the funny thing, I have a Sony laptop vaio with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 on the same network that sees my xbox all the time. Its actually connected through a microsoft extension program (XboxMCE05Lite - enu.exe) basically it works fine.

  One funny thing that may help with my vista (Home premium) Windows Remote Assistant machine fails or the other.

  Any ideas? If this can help, too, this computer is built on the ground.  Sense, this isn't a HP, Dell, Sony, etc.

  Network equipment:
  Router Linksys WRT54G
  Map of Netgear WG311v3 54 Mbps Wireless

  works fine with my other laptop. So I guess that the problem must be my wireless card. I guess that's a PCI card it would have nothing to do with the problem. I'm going tomorrow to buy a NIC. USB Im not in a race simply because my internet works very well without getting a new network card. I am just puzzled and would like to get this to work because I hate running through computer problems and in abeyance. I'll get one tomorrow and let you know the guy.

• Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

  Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

  Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
  I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
  Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

  Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

  When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
  If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
  Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
  Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
  I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
  As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!

• lack of cd installation for window vista Home premium, but not the sticker on laptop?

  I don't HAVE THE CD TO INSTALL the windows vista family premium, BUT WHEN I BOUGHT MY LAPTOP and hav, STICKER IS in MY COMPUTER PORTABLE WINDOwS VISTA product key, WHAT should I DO TO GET AN Installer?

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
