• I wana make my window see - across borders, but my version of vista does not have this setting. where can I get this setting?

  is there anything I can download to install the transparency setting?

  Very likely not.  If you have an old graphics (video card) card that does not support Aero, who's who.  In addition, if you have Vista Basic you are more able to get the Express upgrade to add this feature as Vista is currently in the extended Microsoft support.  You can check for updated display card drivers that could help, but maybe not.

  apologies if this has been posted before,

  I think I threw my windows Millennium cd and now I want to fresh install my xp pro Upgrade on a new drive and cant

  so, what can I do?

  Hello

  (1) what is the brand and model of your computer?

  (2) was Windows Millennium Edition preinstalled on your computer?

  If you want to upgrade to Windows XP, then you must perform a full factory restore and install Windows Millennium Edition on your computer. After that you can upgrade to Windows XP.

  Note: Perform a factory restore can cause data loss. You can save the data to a CD or external hard drive for data recovery.

  Contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your laptop / desktop 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.

  Check Validation at the link above.

  You need an activated copy, legal update since.

  If illegal, you will need to get a FULL license and do a clean install of solvent to the older operating system:

  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

• SOLVED! -Bluetooth not found after Windows 7 upgrade process - U350 only or other institutions?

  Man, I am hoping somone will be able to point me in the right direction...

  Anyway, has received Windows 7 Upgrade disks in the mail and decided to install them today because I had little time. Chose to 'upgrade' to the previous version of Vista (don't hate me for not doing a custom installation, 'clean'), and everything seemed fine, until I realized that my Bluetooth is not working (or even found in Device Manager).

  Run the separate drive Lenovo sent with the Win7 upgrade disk and made me worry more because the installation of driver told me that he could not find a Bluetooth device (which confirmed the same as Device Manager). Tried to download the drivers manually on the internet without success.

  Someone at - it ideas? The only possible 'factor' would be that I usually leave the Bluetooth in Vista, and when I ran the upgrade, Bluetooth was off I would have thought that Win7 would have seen the device anyway (regardless of the situation).

  Thanks to all in advance!

  Really should try to do a Forum search next time (instead of just google)...

  The answer to this was the Fn + F5 to ACTIVATE the Bluetooth module FIRST, before the system would see the in-camera. Once you actually turn, drivers can be installed according to normal... Thank GOD!

  CONGRATULATIONS to all the pioneers who have actually found this in the first place. Hope this was able to help some lost soul who has the same problem a few hours (and installs / uninstalls useless).

• Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

  I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

  -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

  -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

  -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

  -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

  The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

  Plan a.

  I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

  Plan B

  If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

  Plan C

  Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

  Am I missing something?

  In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

  Thank you!

  Don,

  Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

  1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

  2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

  3. install the SSD.

  4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

  5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

  6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

  7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

  You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

  Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

• What version of Vista with product key?

  I know that some brands, has their own product keys that do not work on a regular version of OEM of Vista. Is this also the case of Toshiba?

  On the bottom of my X 200 - 21r laptop is my product key sticker. So, I want to know if I can use it with any OEM Vista CD/DVD?

  > know that some brands, has their own product keys that do not work on a regular version of OEM of Vista. Is this also the case of Toshiba?
  Toshiba laptops are preinstalled and delivered with the self-image of Toshiba.
  The image contains the Windows operating system (XP or Vista), Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  The preinstalled Windows (XP or Vista) are already activated and it s is not necessary (impossible) to enter the serial key!

  > On the bottom of my X 200 - 21r laptop is my product key sticker. So, I want to know if I can use it with any OEM Vista CD/DVD?
  This key doesn't work with another version of Vista OEM. It belongs to the Toshiba OEM version which is preinstalled on your laptop!

• Upgrade to the latest version - help / about window of Firefox does not display 'upgrade' as in instructions.

  I want to upgrade to the latest version but - Firefox Help/About - window does not display 'upgrade' as in the instructions. I can't find a function 'upgrade' anywhere else. How to pass? The version I have is - 18.0.1 - it came with this computer.

  In my view, that this computer has been hacked. Word began to do very strange things. We erased the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I'm now get hacked online.

  Initially, they got in one of my credit cards last fall. That's when all this started. They had my AOL e-mail address. He also got your credit card balance, the minimum payment, the due date and even then the amount of the payment. They got in my Barnes & Noble account and now order does not. Now I believe that they got on my AOL account - one thing after another began to go wrong. I can't change this AOL user id/e-mail address since it's the captain and I would like to lose about 15 years of "stuff."

  The people who sold me this computer told me to use a free version of the antivirus. I'm very unhappy with him. I never had NO problem when I used fresh products of TrendMicro. These people also told me to use Firefox, because AOL uses Internet Explorer - what I already knew is like Swiss cheese.

  Now, I can't get an update of Firefox. Is this also a hack?

  Please help sort you can. Thank you for your time.

  It's probably just the Firefox update problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1
