network/security problem
I have a problem connecting to the internet. A windows security message appears requesting a user name and password. I spoke with my internet provider and they say it's problems with windows. Administering the computer was an old laptop that isn't in use anymore so I can't change the admin settings. Is that what you can offer and do you need more information about me?
How you connect to the internet, dsl / comcast / wireless.
The installation disk of your ISP to the main computer, then put it to the top with a modem what ever, after that you can reload the disc of routers and probably have to reset the default password,
Once you get the configuration of your Internet service provider again then your router again you can re - enter the wireless or wired computers to the new network,

I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate?
I'm going to re - install from 32 to 64-bit via the loader of windows recovery.This computer has asked ma to install 32 or 64 bit when I first turned on, I chose 32, but now I want to 64.It depends on. Is the license of Windows 7 Ultimate, a full version license or upgrade, or upgrade Express?
If its an Express upgrade license, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, then make the Express Windows 7 upgrade Ultimate edition using the Express upgrade key, you have.
If you have a Windows 7 Ultimate full retail or upgrade version license, you can simply by using the 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate disc and do a custom Setup on the current installation of 32-bit.
You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.
Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.
Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?
If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.
As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.
At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it. We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

I had photoshop on my windows now the graphics card has gone bad and you want to move to my MAC I pay every month and I am a student, so, how can I transfer accounts until I get a new computer
If you are on subscription, you just install it on your new computer and sign in with your ID Adobe that you used to buy PS when you arrive up to two installs, it will tell you that you have exceeded you install limit and asks if you want to disconnect other computers. Just so disconnect you. No need to have to disable or call Adobe!

When I use the selection recently marked with a bookmark in bookmarks, it works very well and load the page quickly and opens another window. but when I go to unsorted bookmarks and double-click on the desired bookmark it loads very slowly and cycles for a long time. If I go to the firefox icon in the Launcher on natty 11.04 with unity it shows two open windows. I click on the unsorted Bookmarks window and manually stop and it works well and unordered finishes, loading the bookmark page I was trying to see. Why the unsorted Bookmarks window closes on its own? Is there a setting I can do close automatically. It really slows down the loading of the page, I tried to see. well thank you for any help or advice.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I tried to install a previous version of XP and it would not be installed, then a trial 30 days Windows version came. Now I want to uninstall it so I can load Windows 7 hard disk.
Hello, Steve Rath
You don't need to uninstall the copy of XP
Just install Windows 7 and do not forget to format the drive during installation.
You will lose also all the other data on this drive.

I recently had to replace the hard drive in my desktop PC. After you have reinstalled, I set up the network to connect to my laptop. I created a password of the UAC on both computers.
I activated ptected password sharing on two PCs.
Now when I try to access the network on a pc, a dialog box asks me to enter the network password. I walked into the UAC password erro and to get that connection is not valid.
If I disable password sharing each PC is visible to another on the network.
I prefer to use password protected sharing just as extra protection.
I must have a parameter simple activation/deactivation. Can anyone help.
