You can reverse a downgrade XP?

I hope someone can help!

My son has a brand new top of Tower about 6-8 months.  It can with Vista Home Premium installed.  Today his friend demoted his laptop to XP Service Pack 3 (Dark Edition).
My son never did any points of restoration and for some reason, the computer has all the updates automatic or automatic restore points do.  The computer is now in ruins.

I tried to uninstall, but all programs have been cleaned and there is info no. Vista on the computer.

Is it possible to get Vista without having to go out and buy?  It is very expensive and came already installed on the computer.  Is there some type of code on the computer or record of the purchase that I can use to make re-installed free of charge?

You can't find any "Vista info" on the computer, because it is not there - when a friend of your son installed XP, he had to wipe the hard drive to do.  That's also why you can't find restore points to return to-they simply do not exist in this case.

You will not be able to get media recovery/reinstall without charge; However, you can usually get for very little cost.  (HP, for example, only charges about US $15 for the recovery of replacement media, shipped.)
Browse the site to "support and drivers" of the manufacturer of your computer and look for an option of order recovery media.  This will usually require to enter (somewhere in the site) the exact model # (or no. build or service tag #), as shown on the label to build on the bottom of the laptop, in order to find the correct element.

    I'd like my test of success/failure at the NECK so my VI to false.

    to do this, I need to reverse the value before saving it for Step.Result.PassFail

    I tried the following when you save the output of the VI to Step.Result.PassFail, but it does not work

  • can reverse you him 'forget a site"If you accidentally tap?

    Hi I was looking in the history for something and wanted to delete which I did--accidentally highlighting the site below (facebook) that I didn't "forget" to firefox on can I change this? or anything else I discovered Facebook go forget all in the history if I wanted to go back to something?

    With the help of "Forget this Site" will delete everything as bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions in this area, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose so take note of these passwords and bookmarks.

    You can't recover from which "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • You can install satellite M100-164 - what hard drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M100-164... This is a version of Middle East the M100, almost identical to the European version, as far as I can tell.
    (short only model no psma0e)

    I want to install a new hard drive. The specification says he uses a 5400 RPM Serial - ATA hard disk.

    I can use any hard disk of this type, or are there other things to monitor (for example depth of drive, the pin configuration?)

    for example can I use this drive:
    "Toshiba MK2555GSX 250 GB 2.5 SATA HARD drive internal
    [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-MK2555GSX-250GB-2-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B002752SLU]

    ... or I should he play safe and use one that explicitly says its for the M100, for example this one on Ebay:
    "250 GB hard drive Toshiba Satellite L35-L45 M100, M105"
    [http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/250Gb-Hard-Drive-Toshiba-Satellite-L35-L45-M100-M105_W0QQitemZ190276248831QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Co mputing_HardDrives_RL]

    Thank you

    Hello!

    On the SATA drives, there is no capacity limit and you have on each HARD disk the same pinout. This means that you can use each SATA HDD you want and also SATA2 hard drives because they downgrade compaitible then standard SATA1.

    However, you can buy the cheaper version on Amazon. This HARD drive should work as well in Notepad.

    I hope I could help a bit.

    Good bye

  • You can place two adobe muse sites/templates nested in the same parent directory?

    • Description of the Configuration of attempt:

    To be more precise I have in mind this type of structural and functional arrangement:

    Say that your main site is located in /public_html/template1.musetemplate1.muse.

    Your installation of the second site is for the exclusive content that are accessible to members only with login and password and so template2.muse in located in public_html/members/template2.muse.  You have a nested structure where template1.muse controls or governs the content and the part of the site except for the contents of the /members/ directory which is a subdirectory in the /public_html/ /public_html/ so you have template2.muse in the directory

    / public_html/members/where template2.muse controls or governs the content in /members/

    In addition to this type of arrangement, I want to be able to connect from inside / public_html/members / (the content of the exclusive member zone) to certain pages on the main public site but I don't want the reverse flow. Which means, clearly I don't want links from the public site to take you to the exclusive content.

    So, only member content may link to public content on the main site, but the reverse is not true, because who would frustrate the purpose of content exclusive password protected.

    Finally, the last details is that the template1.muse and the template2.muse are models of different styles.

    • Two major issues described above:

    1. is it possible to do in Muse?

    2. the loan on the collective experience and wisdom of the group are all their traps or important reasons that make such a configuration recommended in practice even if in theory attempt in "" is possible?

    I really appreciate and advise direct or a glimpse of the group.

    Thank you

    DC1984

    To export in the folder structure, as mentioned above of Muse directly is not possible currently but you can export and manually locate the files and the content and then link them accordingly.

    Thank you

  • You can install the server connection and security on the same virtual machine Server?

    I was looking around and found an old post that says that you could do.

    I tried the documentation view 5 but not a lot of luck there.

    If the deployment is small say 20 users view total.

    Could install you the connection and security on the same VM Server?   W2K8R2 64-bit?

    I certainly understand some of the security risks.

    TIA

    Marc Alumbaugh says:

    Any other ideas?

    No other ideas, but we have should stick to previous ideas and continue to work through them. You make progress in this analysis - continue! When it is correctly configured, you have configured the firewall/proxy etc don't not to block PCoIP and that you use at least seen 4.6 on the Client and the server, it does not work.

    It always seems that there's something blocking PCoIP in your environment - where the black screen.

    So when 'PCoIP external URL' on the login server is defined on InternalIP:4172, your View on the internal network Client connects fine. If you run Wiresahrk on your connection to the server to capture the connections, you will see a connection HTTPS turns on TCP 443. Then when you select a pool of offices you will see a PCoIP connection come in. It comes to 4172 TCP from the customer to the login server, then UDP 4172 also from the Client to the server connection as well as UDP 4172 in reverse. For this reverse part, the source UDP port will be 4172 and corresponds to the destination UDP port source on the incoming UDP packets. Check that this is the case. This will prove that the login server is gateway your PCoIP correctly.

    So far so good.

    Then, you switch to your remote Client to view from on the Internet. To do this, you assign the URL of the "external" ExternalIP:4172 PCoIP. Note that you don't need to restart the login server for this to take effect. It takes effect immediately. This IP address will be the public IP address which will probably through a NAT/firewall to access your connection to the server. You can start by checking that the IP address is correct using to connect to the server address when you satrt the customer to view. When you use the same IP address to the Client and through the authentication step, it will prove that it is set up correctly in terms of Routing/NAT etc. Then follow with Wireshark on the login server and observe what happens when you select a pool of virtual offices and get the black screen. You should see the same activity PCoIP on your login server model as in the case of internal test (i.e. starting with the incoming TCP connection on port 4172). View Client will use the ExternalIP address that you specified in the "URL external PCoIP ' to establish the PCoIP connection to connect to the server. So if you don't see this com 4172 TCP on the login server, or you do not see the packets UDP 4172 then something is blocking. This is usually caused by a firewall or a proxy blocking PCoIP.

    If this is the case and you do not see these packets to connect to the server, then run Wireshark on the Windows Client to view and see if you can see 4172 TCP and/or UDP sent to this ExternalIP 4172. If Yes, then you know that something (such as a firewall or proxy) between the Customer View and the view connection server it blocks.

    Let us know what it was.

    Hope it will be useful.

    Select this option.

  • If I can reverse a Tween created with the GUI... .with actionscript?

    Hi all

    I'm newer Flash, so it does not take much for granted. I have large gaps in my understanding.

    I created a motion tween (by good service a movieClip on the timeline and selecting 'create the motion tween'). Now I want to reverse the trend (using the term of "yoyo") when the audio file is played. I know how to do this with an interpolation (using the tween class) which was created in the first place with actionscript. How can I do overturn if interpolation is not already (named and included) my actionscript?

    Thank you

    If you tween is in a MovieClip you can actually play the MovieClip it back like this:

    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
    function enterFrame(e:Event):void {
          prevFrame();
    }
    

    I do it all the time.
