XP installation after success (upgraded version) Win7 clean installation to activate Win7
I made the mistake of creating discs MBR too small for one operating system other than XP or Linux. Shortly after installation, I've been unable to update my Win 7 due to lack of space on the hard disk (all programs, I could change the installation, were on a separate disk). This meant that I had to wipe the hard drive it repartition. I was under the impression that I could upgrade to Win 7 installed cleansing by putting the disc and having Windows check for this, as when I upgraded from ME to XP. (Yes, I realize now has the error of my ways.) Now, I need to fix it. Add to that, I have XP 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7.
After contacting support Microsoft product, I was told that I could simply reinstall my XP and Win 7 would acknowledge that he was there and has set up the dual boot. This is not the case, as I suspected. In the reformat, I lost some data that I thought that I had saved and obviously didn't, this is why I don't really want reinstall Win 7 a third time after reinstalling XP.
I have no windows.old due to reformat/repartition of my drive. Is there anything else I can do? (I am so tired of being penalized with DRM, activation etc for the purchase of software licensed because of all the pirates out there!)
Any help and suggestions for this pathetically badly informed/less educated (Win7) want to be a geek?

After the upgrade to Win7 can I re - install my Adobe upgrade disc?
I have just upgraded to Windows 7 XP and need to reinstall Photoshp CS6, Dreamweaver CS6, Lightroom 4 and Acrobot X Pro. I can do since the disks to upgrade that I like there is no prior software now on PC and I have previously activated the software on this PC?
Yes, but I hope that you disabled your previously installed adobe programs.
If so, you can install your programs to upgrade using your original serial number and activate your programs.
If you are unable to activate your new installs (organization that you do not disable your previously installed programs), you will need to contact support.
I found that help via chat is quick and easy to use.

Can I use a Win7 upgrade version to do a clean install?
Hello world
I have Vista 64 bit on a desktop computer and want to upgrade to Win7 64-bit, the arrival of my version of the software upgrade. It seems that the experts agree most do a clean install is the way to go. My question is, if I backup my computer and reformat, I'll be able to install the new operating system on the Win7 upgrade disk or if it will not have recognized that Vista was still there and not install? In this case, do I need to buy a full version of Win7 instead... even if I replace a Vista license with the clean install?
Any idea would be appreciated. Thank you.
Yes, you can perform a clean installation with the Windows 7 upgrade version. Just start on the Windows Vista desktop, insert the Windows 7 DVD click "install now". When the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

Activation of Windows 7 Upgrade Version after clean installing forced
While the reconstruction of my computer, the hard disk on which Windows Vista was installed has failed and I was forced to do a clean install of Windows 7. I was in the process of upgrading to Windows 7 at the time, but I've owned a copy of Windows 7 upgrade and now the software doesn't recognize my product key for a clean install. Is there anyway that I can use my Windows Vista and Windows 7 product keys to activate my operating system?
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next
Select the Activation of the phone
Click Next when you enter your key page
Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed
Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent
They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it
Click next to complete the activation.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

I upgraded to win7 starter to win7 pro with a clean install
IM missing 3 drivers that the manufacturer of laptops would not give to me the notebook is an Acer ZE7 they told me that they have not recommend an upgrade to win7 pro. sounds really fishy to me I need to level 5 more portable win7 pro.
Please help me with an answer as soon as POSSIBLE
I suggest you to reinstall Windows 7 Starter and use Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. Personally, I can't find any information on this model. Anytime Upgrade will reduce the headache. Windows 7 Starter and professionals are based on the same kernel, so the same driver will work for 3 lack of pilots. Reinstall Windows 7 Starter using the tools of recovery of manufacturers.
If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:
Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.
System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

After the upgrade to Firefox version 29, the browser crashes every 30-45 seconds, about 15 seconds. [Windows Vista]
Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

After the upgrade to the latest version 13.0.1
I can't open videos from youtube and other sites
I tried all the solutions, but none works
I would also consider the following. Recent crashes of some multimedia content (this includes the Youtube videos, some flash games and other applications), in collaboration with Firefox 13 are probably caused by a recent update of Flash 11.3 and/or Real Player browser plugin to malfunction.
To resolve this problem, follow the steps in these articles in the Knowledge Base:
Flash Plugin - maintain and troubleshoot
Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen
11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox
We'll find other information on more technical issues under these links:
