• Compatibility Mode and the XP Mode in Windows 7

  I got a little confused on the Compatibility Mode with XP Mode in Windows 7. Both allow you to legacy Windows run in Windows 7. As far as I know, the former just request that you go to your legacy application that is already installed in Windows 7, get his property and check the box Compatibility Mode and select your old Windows OS (Windows XP, SP2) - that seems without any requirement of additional beyond your Windows 7 operating system HW/SW; But this last request additional 1 GB of RAM and also installation PC Virture Mode before you can run XP Mode. Are the two modes of the same thing or different? It seems that Compatibility Mode is to each legacy Windows application, so no additional HW/SW and XP Mode is environmental BONES together. Is this fair? Appreciate if anyone can clerify this.

  Hello

  No, they are not the same.

  Compatibility mode allows you to run software simply, as say you, selecting Properties and then compare the compatibility mode and select the appropriate operating system to run this application. As you say 'no additional SW/HW prescription.'

  XP Mode is, of all intent and purpose, a virtual machine mode. You must first install Virtual PC software and then, after you have created a machine virtual, you install your software and it works as if it is running on a separate computer - hence the need for a 1 GB of additional RAM. The 1 GB of RAM is allocated to the virtual machine. If you say 4 GB of RAM then your PC would use / 3GB and your 'virtual' PC would use the other 1 GB.

  It is also interesting to note that your PC has also therefore support XP Mode, if it isn't then XP Mode cannot be installed.  John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Expert associated with: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;

• 21 of Firefox will work only in the admin. mode on Windows 7 Pro. Also, when I installed FF21 it came with a nasty virus.

  These are the details. 21 FF does not work on my system, unless I choose Run as administrator. So far, none of the assumptions posted by your technical support on this issue in the past have worked.

  I removed the virus and removed FF and reinstalled. The same problem. I still totally deleted and reinstalled, same problem. I installed it again under an Admin account and I still have the same problem. All previous versions of FF worked fine in user mode.

• I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10.  The problem is that I can't remember the arrangement of the original tree of my photo folders when I r

  I have a problem of my catalogs of PES 10 displacement and the photos attached from my old computer with Windows XP on my new computer with Windows 10.  How can I keep my original photo folders tree arrangement when I restore backups of catalog on the new machine?

  The problem arises because Windows 10 is equipped with a new tree structure with new names for many of its branches.  Tree of Windows XP starts to Local Disk (C), and then does the following: Documents and settings, Susan [it's me the user], My Documents, SusanPhotos (the folder that I created that contains my photos) and then several subfolders and subfolders with my photos grouped by theme, for example the Puglia Italy and Italy-Roma.  My new computer Windows 10 has a different tree and different names for a large number of branches from early on: OS (C) [instead of Local Disk (C)], users, Susan, Documents [instead of the old My Documents], SusanPhotos [what I created] and then the subfolders and so on.

  Because of the new tree and the new names of the branch, I can't find a way to restore my PES 10 catalogues and photos attached to them to where I want to that they.  What I want to do is put the files from SusanPhotos to the Windows 10 Documents folder so that I find myself with the following tree, essentially the same as what I had on my old machine: OS (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, then the original subfolders with my photos.  Apparently 10 PSE does not allow me to move folders of photos in the Organizer, so that the pictures stay connected.

  PES 10 offers 3 options for restoration: Original, personalized and customized, keeping the original structure of the file.  Here's what happens to each:

  (1) original creates new folders with the old names and the structure of the tree, parallel to the tree Windows 10 has instead of inside the tree Windows 10.

  (2) custom with the original structure of the file is the restaurant where I want (within the SusanPhotos) but retains all branches superfluous-instant initial tree of Windows XP, production: BONES (C), users, Documents, Susan, SusanPhotos, Documents and settings [carried over from the old computer], Susan, My Documents, SusanPhotos, Roma-Italy and Italy-Puglia and so on.

  (3) custom (without checking the original file structure box) makes every SusanPhotos but without any organization: OS (C),..., SusanPhotos, Italy-Puglia and Italy-Roma and all other folders at the same level instead of in their original nested groups with subfolders.

  The first two methods you end up with a tree that is chaotic with two parallel trunks or a single trunk but with several redundant layers carried over from the old computer.  The third ends with no tree at all.

  One solution would be to make a Custom Restore with the original structure of the file and then use PSE10 to move the folders that I would like.  However, AFAIK, PSE10 I cannot move entire folders of photos, only of individual pictures.  With thousands of photos in hundreds of cases, the time required for the movement of individual pictures is prohibitive.  PSE10 allows me to move the catalog folder, but apparently not the folders containing the photos.

  The result is that at this time I have no solution to my problem.  Can you help me find a way to restore my photos while keeping their original organization?

  One solution would be to make a Custom Restore with the original structure of the file and then use PSE10 to move the folders that I would like.  However, AFAIK, PSE10 I cannot move entire folders of photos, only of individual pictures.

  You simply use the 'Files' Panel on the left. Your folder tree appears. Simply, you drag and drop the folder to move with all its subfolders in the desired master file. That works exactly as in Solution Explorer, so be patient, you receive no message of progress until it is completed.

  You did a good job to understand the situation. I think that might help you is to understand that changes in the way default folders are created in a different version of Windows can be ignored if you do not use these structure 'default', from the shortcuts to your main folder of the user.

  I create a master folder 'My Photos' directly under the C: root.

  When I restore, I use the "custom" choice, as you have discovered, I only specify this folder in the restore process, and I completely ignore the default shortcuts to 'Documents' or 'Image '.

• How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive

  How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

  TIA

  Hi Benyl,

  The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

  To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

  Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

  Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

  Hi yayatisharma,

  Product key Finder programs are USELESS for Vista computers preinstalled, as they find the product key of plant manufacturers, which is used for installations of mutiple during Assembly of the computer.

  This key will not help you reinstall Vista!

  If you communicate with HP they will post you Recovery DVD for a low price to reinstall Vista and they do NOT require a product key

  Or ask the use of the recovery Partition, which must be copied to the hard drive HP

  Hello

  Based on this and that is not a printer ready network. Has a network card?
  Another thing, you need to consider: HP does NOT support Windows 7 (for her) so you have to get this first.

  Good luck.
