xp license can be transferred to the desktop for laptop
I have an office installed with XP Home (purchased separately - cd), now I want to buy a laptop and would like to transfer my XP license for old office laptop, can a guide it is possible. What is the process?
If it is a retail Windows XP CD (which it seems to be) then just install on the laptop and turn it on, that's what he is. Legally, you are not allowed to install on several computers, so to comply with this EULA, you would need to remove it from the desktop computer, to remove an operating system you format the drive hosting the BONE, it goes without saying that all the files on the disk will be lost when you format it.
The retail license transfer is really not a problem, it will be the least of your problems! Perhaps your problem is that there is no driver available for the new XP computer laptop so that you might not be able to run correctly with Windows XP. By their nature notebooks are built with hardware owner, if the manufacturer of the laptop has not designed the laptop to Windows XP support, they provide no drivers for it and it will be almost impossible to find the other drivers. You might have more luck if you buy a portable class business and not the cheapest destined to consumers, usually mobile phones intended for business customers are likely to be the only new likely to have Windows XP support.
This really isn't my business, but I think you should go and accept Windows 7, Windows XP is on its last leg, after the operating system is now 10 years old and long out-of-standard support. Like it or not Windows 7 wins wide acceptance and much new hardware and software is designed to take advantage of the new technologies that are not supported by the Windows XP now for 10 years.
You should consider your options carefully before begin you this project of installation of Windows XP on your new laptop computer, ask the manufacturer whether they support it. Also consider whether or not you want to restrict or limit your options when it comes to the use of the new hardware and software. A better alternative would be to buy a laptop with a Windows 7 license professional and install Windows XP mode/Virtual PC top. Also remember that Windows 7 Professional is provided with Downgrade rights to Windows XP Professional and that the seller of the laptop can support this facility and do it for yourself, who will continue to way you won't have to bother with that and your current Windows XP license valid for use on any other computer.

I have Adobe CS4 for PC, but recently bought a Mac. My driver's license can be transferred to a download that is Mac compatible?
No, he can't. Platform Exchange only for current versions, sense CS4 and I'm afraid you're long of upgrade eligibility, too. that and of course the CS4 is not compatible with the current versions of Mac OS x. So before you waste time endlessly, simply sign up for creative cloud.

short cuts on the desktop for the URL will not work. Try to connect the browser when rises the address has not been transposed, it's all just white
There may be some problems that repair tools are not picking up. It may be preferable to a repair facility. This can help with any corruption of the registry, which could happen by the deletion of these programs. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917964
Keep in mind when running all that modifies the system it is always a good idea to have your data and backup programs (it's general advice for any system its always good to have a backup in case of possible failure of material/virus)

Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender
Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.
Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?
Thank you very much.
Hello
Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?
Thank you.

When I open the Task Scheduler, I see this...
Task Scheduler (local)
Event viewer tasks
Microsoft
Windows
...
...
Task Manager
I want to create a shortcut on the desktop for the entrance to the "Task Manager", in Task Scheduler. Is this possible? Keep in mind, I'm not looking for Windows CTRL + SHIFT + ESC Task Manager, I am looking for the task manager that allows me to see my scheduled tasks. Thanx.
Instead of having to click...
- Beginning
- Administration tools
- Task Scheduler
Then, for in Task Scheduler, I develop...
- Task Scheduler Library
- Microsoft
- Windows
So I can finally, click on the Task Manager and see the tasks planned it.
My goal is to have a shortcut on the desktop (or any other method) which will allow a 'reduced click' access for the final result to view the scheduled tasks mentioned above. Thanx.
