Windows XP encrypted data more no key cert, I can always get it back?
Data backed up, reinstalled XP Pro to the discovery of data is encrypted and I don't have the key to cert.
Certainly, you can't recover your data. To do this, you need to retrieve your old certificate (which itself is encrypted) and all the information necessary to decrypt it including your old Secure ID (SID) and password. Changes to find on a reformatted and re-installed partition are virtually nil.
Mandatory for anyone using the Encrypting File System (EFS) is the following article. Special attention to the paragraph at the end, entitled "why you should back up your certificates.
"Best practices for EFS file system.

validation problem genuine xp
Hello. I searched the forum before posting, also a few Google search without much luck. I have a genuine copy of XP sp2 pro that I have unpgraded to sp3. I lost the cover of the disc came in so I did not have the key. When I put the disc into my PC and did a search there was a yellow folder I386 and then I scrolled down to read this file, which had the CD key. So I put it in the window of validation then activate. He still tells me that is not a genuine copy of XP, who he is. I tried the various WGA software, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thank you

Creating Windows dvd:
Computer crashed this program how to get back lost
Do you still have the program, but maybe just lost the shortcut for it?
See what you have here, C:\Program DVD Maker, look for DVDMaker.exe.
It may be necessary to show both hidden and system files and also uncheck 'Hide known file types' in Control Panel / folder Options / view to navigate to the specified location.
If you have the .exe, and then you can right-click on the .exe and "Pin" in the Start Menu or use "send to" to place a shortcut on the desktop.
If you type DVDMaker.exe in Start Menu / search box, or men Start / RUN box, which could launch for you.

I did a restore of windows xp home 64-bit but not recover my registry key. How can I get the key?
There is no such thing as Windows XP 64-bit Edition. OEM machines are supposed to have a sticker with the product key on the computer somewhere. You never did a full backup or an image of the disc on another drive? If so, the key can be retrieved from the backup or image.

Bought Office Acrobat 11 DC Pro to my PC running Windows 7 - I have more than enough RAM and storage, but get the message: "this application cannot be installed on this operating system. The installation program will end now. Please refer to the minimum requirements to... "Can't determine the location on the Adobe Web site to get answers. Any suggestions?
I deleted an earlier version of Acrobat Pro from my computer. Still, I get the same message.
Hi John,.
Please specify if you have purchased DC Acrobat or Acrobat 11 or upgrade you to the latest patch for Acrobat 11, that is to say 11.0.11 so that we can help you accordingly.
I wonder if you have checked your system requirements before you download Acrobat.
I would also ask to share with you the screenshot of the error message with us.
You could probably uninstall Acrobat using cleaning tool. Here is the link for the same thing.

If you were installing DC, check out the following link to download.

Somehow, I changed the size of everything on my screen using the F keys. How can I change this back?
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the above does not fix it:
Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
Then:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution
Change the screen resolution
Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.
See you soon.
