Windows 7 Upgrade but the display is all wrong
I have a Dell PC with an Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.20 GHz, 2 GB of DDR SDRAM 333 MHz and an integrated Intel 3D AGP graphics card. After upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7, the view is terrible. Background is blurry, icons are huge, and pop-up windows extend beyond the screen. In Control Panel, appearance and personalization, the screen resolution set, the only option of 'Display' is "E1909W (Analog) from Dell on the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "Resolution" drop-down list is locked at 640 x 480 (i.e., no other resolution options are able to be selected). I'm afraid that my system is not capable of supporting Windows 7 but am not sure if any help or advice is appreciated.

Once your product is check in drivers & downloads, if any display driver for Windows 7 is available.
If so, update the driver and check if you are able to change the resolution or not.
If no display driver is available, then your machine is not compatible for Windows 7 Upgrade.

I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.
Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.
I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.
I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.

I 'reset' Firefox at the suggestion of Mozilla as my browser worked slowly. What a mistake! As soon as I did, all sites have become unreliable. When I click on the allow an exception, the site then comes to the top, but the formatting is all wrong. I used Firefox for years, but will not be longer if I can't solve this problem. Other browsers work so I will go to one of them. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and that has not worked. My date and time settings are correct.
Uninstalled Browsersafeguard and it seems to work! VERY happy!

I didn't mean that you cannot run Windows 7. I have run on systems with 512 MB of ram. It will work, but will slip. It will be the same for Vista. I recommend that stick you with Xp until you are able to upgrade your ram.

Issues with the display settings - all super tiny
I have problems with the display settings, all of a sudden, everything was super great and difficult to see all the toolbars on the screen, I went to the settings display, and somehow managed to make everything incredibly tiny. I found a page via the display settings (avancΘs?) that allowed me to adjust the percentage of the elements on the screen. I reduced to 40%, and then the setting stuck and now I can not see or read anything. I'm trying to return to the display settings, but I can't find this 'page' which allowed me to make this change.
I saw a similar post:
"I messed up my display settings. my resolution is so great that I don't see anything but black vertical lines and sets of 3 white dotted lines in sequence across my screen. my mouse can not be seen either. is there anyway to restore my original settings? It's as if everything is bigger there should be 200 to 300%.
Hello
There are a few things you can try:
1. reboot the PC then start tapping the F8 key until you get the Windows Advanced on-screen Menu of Options.
Then choose "last good known Configuration". Allow Windows to start.
2. restart PC then start tapping the F8 key until you get the Windows Advanced on-screen Menu of Options.
Then choose "Enable VGA Mode". Windows XP loads with the color values that can handle your "lower" resolution and display driver Once in Windows, change the resolution, then restart the PC.
3. try to go into "Safe Mode", which is accessible in the same way as "VGA Mode". "Review the same routine as no. 2.
I tried to hit F8, but nothing happens, I tried to reboot several times. How do the Advanced Options? Someone knows it the screen that I talk with the possibility of adjusting the percentages, how can I find it again? So I can not really read or see anything.

Try to install the GEFORCE GTX650 in my HP Pavilion p6 - 2413a, I plugged everything in and the fan seems to work but the display does not illuminate.
There is another cable with 2 multi 1 6 end plug but I can't work out where to connect.
I tried to find it on youtube but can't see where he's going to help me please.
Hello
You need a greater power to support a PCI-E power connector 6 pin. Try a Corsair CX500, or CX600. The image below is that of a NVIDIA GTX 650 which shows where to connect the PCI-E 6-pin connector to the graphics card. Most of the HP PC which have a greater power or 460 watt have they support for the PCI-E power connector 6-pin.

I am originally from Pakistan, and has recently purchased a copy pirated Windows 8, because the original ones are not available... Windows installed perfectly, but the product key is not working
Original title: My Windows 8's product key does not work.
Hi Bselva,
As your boss has reinstalled the operating system, it should have the product key. Ask the product key and then activate the operating system.
Also check out this link:

If you do not have the product key, you will need to buy one from this link.

If you are allowed to choose acrobat 7 as the upgrade, you may be able to use the serial number, error: "Activation Server unavailable". CS2, Acrobat 7, pass a hearing 3

I recently downloaded the Lightroom upgrade but the old version remains the default Lightroom Application on my laptop and I can only access the new version through the Adobe icon at the top of the screen. How can I get the new version of 'replace' the old?
Try to uninstall the old version - it is not necessary. An upgrade is a product independent and fully functional.
