• Message came up with, "Windows has detected another computer with the same IP address on this netework."

  A message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address. "... or similar message to one, that could just be the functioning of the laptop for the wireless?

  MurrayJoe:

  > Mean someone has or may have access to my PC or laptop?

  You mentioned a wireless laptop. Do you get this message at home (when your laptop is in communication with your own wireless router), or that you get this message when in a public hotspot?

  If at home, then I would be not too concerned (what security options enabled in your home router?).

  If you get the message while using a public access point, this does not necessarily your computer has been hacked... but it is a warning that you should not ignore. In general, I would not go to any site that has my financial data, or any other sensitive data, a public hotspot. There are too many ways that a public hotspot may be compromised.

  Your original post said that "a message came that said, Windows detected another computer with the same IP address.

  There are several reasons this could happen... some innocent people and some not so innocent.

  If your network is configured for the most common way, then your router uses a feature called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can read about DHCP here...

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

  Basically, when a device on your home network needs an IP address, he asks your router and your router assigns an IP address... technically, "rents" the router address for a given period (one day). Once this period has elapsed, the device must 'renew lease'.

  DHCP stops you from the hassle of having to assign a static IP address to each device on your network and then don't forget to retrieve that meet if/when a device are removed from your network.

  Sometimes the process DHCP can be confused and assign the same address on multiple devices. If/when this happens, communication between devices on your home network may be confused. Windows is smart enough to detect that another device on your home network has the same address as the computer where Windows is currently running..., but Windows can not solve the problem.

  You can determine the IP address of the computer that is running Windows (and posted the message you saw)... by entering "ipconfig" (without the quotation marks) at a command line prompt. Then you can check the IP addresses of all devices on your network until you find the other devices with the same IP address. Then you could say either every device to get a new IP address of the router (or restart the device). Alternatively, you can try just stating the computer that is running Windows to get a new IP address (by first entering "ipconfig/release" then "ipconfig / renew" in the command-line invite him... all orders without the quotes).

  But since you said that you are not very tech savvy, my first suggestion was the easiest... just shut everything in your network, and then restart one at a time by starting with your ISP device, router, and other devices. If the problem persists after that, then more troubleshooting (as described in the previous paragraph) would be necessary.

  I hope this helps to clarify the issue for you. If you have any questions, please post them and I'll try to answer.

• Impossible to retart Window XP as an administrator with the same "selective startup" newspaper (with some third party being disabled services) with an administrator account.

  My computer is a Sony (Vaio) desktop computer with Microsoft Windows XP Professional edition,
  service pack 3. It is installed with Internet Explorer 8.

  I meet the Internet Explorer 8 problem right after I tried to run Norton
  Antivirus (2012 version) Live updates some time ago. Updates Live has not been successfully

  completed.

  I tried to open Internet Explorer 8 to connect the site msn.com and others
  Web pages. It still gives me the message "Internet Explorer cannot Display the Webpage".

  I did a full system scan. The computer is clean.
  I also tried to remove all the Internet Explorer add-on to and reset all settings
  by default, but I still can't get Internet Explorer to work.

  I think that something that connects it to the operation of Internet Explorer 8 has been 'broken '.
  during the download of updates to Norton Live. Maybe it's because as the "dial-up".
  slow internet download speed I use, caused some kind of file corruption.
  I'm not too sure.

  I followed a suggestion to Microsoft support engineer in Microsoft Support community
  and I tried disabling Norton services in starting the configuration to see if
  Internet Explorer will work back or not. However, after I did

  Start > run > msconfig

  and all unchecked Norton services and retarted the computer. I had

  got the same error. I did several times without a bit of luck.

  My computer is used only by myself. My user account is an administrator of type with

  I don't know if other permission settings that must be set correctly in order
  for me to retart the computer with the "selective startup" option

  I hope that someone in the Community Support of Microsoft can give me some suggestions and
  instruction. Thanks a lot for your help.

• Activation of Windows 7 on an SSD with the same product key.

  Original title: forget to disable Windows 7 key before moving.

  Hello, here is my situation (I've seen another thread like this but I have more specific questions)

  I have a laptop and it was the key to license Windows 7 Pro SP1.

  I recently bought an ssd and learn all about meet the key but I guess I was happy to install the SSD so I forgot to Deauthorize the key.

  I installed the SSD on the same computer laptop and use the same key to activate a few moments ago.

  It seemed to have worked, but he's coming back to haunt me in the future? Or I'm good?

  You could say that I activating me the part on the same physical machine and therefore, exercise was not necessary?

  Thank you

  As long as the old hard drive is removed from the laptop, you should have no problem.

  If you want to go a little further temporarily remove it the SSD drive, connect the hard disk, the boot of Windows (does not need to be connected to the Internet) and open a prompt (run as administrator) and quick entry:

  slmgr - upk and press the Enter key

  Wait a few seconds for the command to run, and then quit the command prompt.  The option - PUK uninstalls your product key from the hard drive.

  Shut down the computer, remove the hard drive, install the SSD drive and your all ready for departure.

• How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

  How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

  It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

  I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

  Thank you. -David

  I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

  With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  -and then restart Firefox.

  If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

  Other posters have a difficult time distinguishing tabs and Windows, it seems. With a lot of posters here the two terms are used incorrectly and indifferently, as is the desktop and the window of Firefox, but my understanding is that a lot of this "bad language" is taught in schools.

  Comments on the first link (read carefully). May not work, unless this should be 'current tab's addressare'and it seems he can "take back" the new tabs in the window/new selections (i.e., no new windows/tab blank):

  • Clone the address of the active tab and the story in a new window when the new command window is used (and possibly in a new tab when ordering new tab is used). {It is emphasis added}

• Updating Win 7 32 Bit to Win 7 64 bit with the same product key

  Hey,.

  I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?

  Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

  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.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• I need to reinstall windows 7 on the same pc with the same key. Since I bought it ready installed on the PC, I don't have the DVD. How can I go about it?

  I messed up my pc while tinkering with disk partitions. I need to get windows 7 to work again on the same machine.

  Note that if you save all the important things, it will be lost after the reset.

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

  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".

  You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

• my windows says that another computer is running in the same network with the same ip address, please contact

  Today morning when I opened my samsung mini, it displays a message that another computer is running on the same network with the same ip address please find a solution for this

  In most home networks where multiple devices are connected to a router, router will assign an IP address to each device (via DHCP). This method keeps usually different devices to get the same IP address, but if you restart your router, it will not address remembered that he released before it was restarted.  This condition can also occur if you manually assigned an IP address to a device located in the router's DHCP range.  If the problem is not due to manually assign an IP address, then this condition will be corrected over time.  But if you're in a hurry, you can unplug your router from the wall and stop all computing devices on it.  Then plug the router back in and bring up all your devices again one by one.

  HTH,
