Windows7 with Windows XP to run earlier versions of the partitioning software
I would like to partition my windows7 notebook pc with xp to run earlier versions of the software. My laptop is the Pavilion dv7-4177nr... someone has any ideas on how to do it without pain? (I'm a novice user with some smarts but rather)...
There is no painless way to do it, especially on this model. It is possible but takes a lot of work and struggle. It might be a better option to use Anytime Upgrade in the Start Menu to go to 7 Pro or Ultimate. Then, you can download and use the free XP Mode that MS makes available.

I had nothing but troubles attempt at analysis of the Solution Center with my Windows 7 upgraded to professional to Home Premium. I've seen a lot of posts on sysems that will print but not scan. None of the solutions proposed on these threads has worked for me. I ran print and Scan of the doctor. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version (PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140). I run L4 uninstall and reinstalled the latest version. I scanned my computer against viruses and malware. I ran "SCF/scannow". I have run memory scans. I did "unplug everything" and reset. I ran the product as an administrator. I tried to run several compatibility modes. This past for more than a week, and I was not inactive. You name it I did it. I don't want to turn on my computer to its configuration 2 years up to what I've exhausted all other possibilities.
Now for the real question (for those who have had this or similar questions)... Has anyone everything uninstalled and tried to install an older version (which can be improved later)? My old version on my OLD XP laptop works fine. I still have the older 100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_Net_enu_NB verson of the installer. If it will install (and work) on the WIN7PRO, I'd be happy. Darn, I just try that anyway, but I would feel more comfortable if I knew that someone had tried (win or lose).
All suggestions are solicited.
I have no recourse to the use of the old S/w. I kept search some old discussions in this forum and finally a couple linked together which resulted in success (after several attempts at all the great suggestions that I had read in the forum). BUT. one stands out because it spoke of my exact problem. Scanning from HP with my Photosmart C7280 solutions Center after the upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. The solution has been presented in a thread of 2009:
I landed on this all to coincidentally linking 2010 regarding a similar issue but diferent (similar = upgrade, different = print):
I am so happy that the old wires still exist in this forum. The solutions are not always the most obvious, especially for those of us who have been around computers for almost 40 years and have some predisposed notions.
Thank you to everyone. Now to save this thing before something else goes south.

After the upgrade, I want the computer to open to strictly Windows 7. I get a page asking if I want to Windows 7 or an earlier version. There also all programs on the file for XP that I didn't need since the upgrade, I transferred all my documents, files, etc.: on my removable hard drive. How I can do all this extra to elimintate bits of information and make it turn on the computer faster and more accurate?
Upgrade to Win7 has nothing to do with the Windows Update feature.

Had problems with Windows 8 Pro that I bought after the pre version, seems when I tried to reinstall it, kept getting no configure after installation. So I tried a full install without success. Can you please give some tips to overcome this problem? I lost the back upward with the resettlement, don't know how, but I have a QuadCore intel 9650 memory of 8 GB, 560 GTX GPU, 120 GB SSD. Can I install windows 7 ultimate, but I prefer Windows 8 Pro and don't want to pay for it again.
I suggest you reinstall Windows 7 first, then use your existing Windows 8 Pro key and reinstall Windows 8 Pro from the following link:
You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
You will need to reactivate by phone:
Activation of the phone:
1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.
4. choose the option "activate phone".
5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

How can I go back to an earlier version of the edge animate?
Since the upgrade onboard animate 3 CC, I have not been able to work on my project. Is it possible to revert to a previous version?
I uninstalled and installed an earlier version, but the file does not open, because he says that he was created in a newer version of the edge. Is there a way to get around this? Can I change something in the code files of edge that will identify the file as being from the previous version?
I was able to get any work done on this project since the beginning of February.
I could download Edge animate CC 2.0 by logging into my account of cloud. Then I opened the file edge.js in edge code and I replaced the part where he identifies the version with...
version: "2.0.1"
minimumCompatibleVersion: "2.0.0"
build: "2.0.1.268."
I had to do this once for the main stage and once for each symbol.
There is a drop down menu that says only if you are connected to a paid account of cloud, and you can choose to download the old version. It is installed in a new folder, so you can always run the latest version as well.
