Windows pro 8.1 was a trial and expires soon. If I can get back to Vista?

I bought my laptop in a meeting of swap. I just found that my version of windows pro 8.1 upgrade was a trial and expires soon. I have the original product key for Vista and I don't want to spend more on this new/old computer. If I can get back to Vista? I found information that said: 8.1 required for a clean boot of Vista.

I have a Presario F700 Compact

    The Apple ID, you saved your Mac with, is the Apple which has all the applications provided with the Mac ID. By creating a new Apple ID, you can buy Apps. I know, I have two Apple ID myself. It is very important to know your Apple that you used for the registration ID, install and download all your apps in the App Store.

  • After 4 years, my InDesign CS 5.5 decided it was a 'trial' and denied me access!

    I'll try to be brief.  I am the first buyer and user of Adobe InDesign CS5.5 software.  I have the CD and the box, in that he came as the original packaging of Adobe PageMaker 6.5 that I originally bought it years before, but Adobe smoking review PageMaker, so I've upgraded to InDesign CS5.5.  Then return in March 2012, I chatted with Samantha at Adobe, and she helped get into market and recorded.  Today my Adobe account currently shows it as being registered for me on March 26, 2012.

    Here's my problem:

    Back on March 22, 2012, when I chatted with Samantha it was because I had been using PageMaker 6.5 without no trouble until I've upgraded Windows XP to Windows 7.  After the upgrade to Windows 7, PageMaker 6.5 work well.  PageMaker no longer be revised, I bought an upgrade Version of Adobe InDesign CS5.5.  I asked Samantha "until I have OPEN THE PACKAGE UPGRADE" if I installed it, it would work, and she told me that since I had bought PageMaker 6.5 as a stand-alone product, he would.

    Now quick before 4 YEARS and a half today and all of a sudden, I get a message that my "Trial Version" has expired.  After 4 years, he decides that it is a TRIAL VERSION AND DECIDE to expire?  Which makes no sense at all.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 months ago, I've not had problems with my InDesign C5.5 software so far.

    After following the instructions gave me my last Chat session, I uninstalled version of InDesign C5.5 I used so I could upload another version, however, whenever I did it (at least five times now) I have to enter the serial number of my prior software.  Although software is a Version upgrade, so, apparently, that software is looking for another serial number that he never locates because of so of uninstalls and reinstalls.  The original serial number for PageMaker 6.5: [deleted by Moderator].  I tried to enter, but it does not recognize it or the software and there is no option to enter a serial number of PageMaker, a different number of InDesign.

    During my last Chat Session I even let Rohit M. take control away from my computer to see what he could do and still nothing has changed!  So after using this program for 4 years, the software I bought abruptly changed to a trial and the trial ended?  How ridiculous!

    It's especially aggravating being I am a retired senior of 72 year and only use it occasionally for some volunteer work I do, I am very familiar with how it works and it does everything I need to do I have no need, or desire, to subscribe and pay $240 per year for some fancy programs complex, confused I would hardly use.  I not had problems with my InDesign CS5.5 never same software after upgrade my PC to Windows 10 until this annoying message popped up.

    HELP Please: the simplest solution would be to get a serial number I can enter which will be recognized by my InDesign CS5.5 software when it starts, because it does not recognize the serial number of PageMaker 6.5 that worked when I loaded it originally more than 4 years ago.  Unfortunately I can't find any source where I can buy an older version of InDesign CS5.0

    If anyone has any idea how I can solve this dilemma it please let me know... Thank you!

    Thank you for the update Richard.  I asked a member of our support team to contact you directly via phone number, that we placed on the record.

    I have check the InDesign CS5.5 upgrade serial number, ending with 5489, and it is still valid and available additional activations.  Once you are caught by the process of unlocking you must face no difficulty activation InDesign.

    How can I get the rest of this virus off the coast? Ive found a bunch and them came down until I can get online but I can 't get to work stations or other programs.

  • I paid but Premiere Pro CC 2014 is still "Trial" and asking for license key.

    Please help - what is very frustrating and mediocre service / performance of the Adobe software. I have lost hours trying to solve this problem and can not understand. I paid for a monthly "complete" service, but the application of Adobe on my computer (Mac, OS Yosemite) behaves as if nothing has changed and always refers to down on the trials for other software as well. Have I just paid for nothing?

    You have activated the CC once today, hope the problem is solved, yet, I want to mention that

    The CC has not need any number of series, it is based on an Adobe ID.

    In the case where you are prompted for the serial number then you can refer to.

  • I get a server error live when I try to load Halo 2 in windows 7. I Shadow Run responsible, and I am disconnected. It worked fine on vista 64. Can I disable Windows Live? I use the game as independent.

    Hi, Mike Moczan,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    I suggest you to load the game in a clean boot state to see if the problem is not caused by the interference of any third-party application.

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows 7, follow these steps.
    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

    In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

  • I had windows updates only 3 update 11 failed and not update, now I can't open my program files

    After starting to install windows updates failed only 3 including 11 installed has not tried again they now cannot access some programs include research on the windows desktop, Explorer windows, help and support, system information, disk cleanup, defrag the files, microft office, others I right click and click Properties find target then I get a message could not open the windows file install is not properly installed ,

    Your last two responses bring back us to 2 two things you posted yesterday (I had hoped we could avoid).

    In reverse...

    [#1] ... I received an error message when I booted my computer that says "cannot find componate RPS.exe. "AntiFr.dll was not trying to install again.

    Several years ago, before Verizon (or whatever your telephone company was called at the time) gave the suite McAfee customers, she gave another sequel on Proctection of Radialpoint Suite (AKA freedom Internet Security).

    The code snippet above tells me that the Radialpoint suite has been installed on your computer at somepoint in a past distant: files RPS. EXE and ANTIFR. DLL are 'leftovers' from Radialpoint Protection Suite (where letters RPS in the first file name).

    Speaking of the hard personal experience, I can tell you more about Radialpoint is about impossible to remove completely without manual editing of the registry - something you DO NOT want to do!

    And despite what the volunteer moderator McAfee Forums and communities (own KB of Radialpoint article) has to say, you do NOT want to download Microsoft's Windows Installer Cleanup utility now interrupted the quoted source not Microsoft !

    [#2] ... I installed Speedy [PC] Pro last week... every day since then, around 15:00 I get a message that says "cannot find c: Program file commune File\SpeedyPC Software\UUS3\UUS3.dll ' I click on close and she goes until the next day.

    Unfortunately, installation & with the Speedy PC Pro 'scareware' is no worse, Dennis. [It is called "scareware" because you have to buy this disreputable application ($34.95 USD, I heard last) until it 'fixed' anything.] [Of course, it won't fix a 'thing'!]  See this recent discussion, some-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/who-are-speedy-pc-pro-and-are-they-safe-to-use/62629332-a670-4166-b418-e2a5a876daa1

    TIP: If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, boosted, point, healed, twisted, fixed, magnified, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.NET/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. See also http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    If you had not used the Speedy PC Pro crapware, there is a very slim chance that you would be able to install the suite McAfee/Verizon again - at least according to McAfee Tier III Support Tech post on this page. But you don't have so there is nothing we can do about it now. [No, System Restore may not "come to the rescue" here.]

    => Let me level with you here: this set of the problem is due to have not entirely - remove the McAfee free version to test which is preinstalled on your computer, years BEFORE the installation of any antivirus application (for example, the suite of Radialpoint) AND BEFORE installation of Windows updates.

    Now the very bad new: the only way to return your computer to a functional & secure State is backup so your personal data (for example, the contents of the My Documents folder;) Favorites of IE; E-mail Client data) then format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP (or buy a computer brand new Windows 7).

    Follow the instructions (to-the-letter & in order!) in this post of mine in another forum: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

    If you need additional help with the new installation, start your own, new topic in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the computer to a local, reputable and a stand-alone computer (that is, not "BigBoxStoreUSA" or Geek Squad), repair shop & let them do the work.

    Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    I sincerely wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!
