How can I get a (new) computer with a 32 bit processor?

Do all new computers running under Vista have 64 bit processors? How can I get a new computer with a 32 bit pnorton 360

WHY bother? ALL 64bit processors run great with 32bit OS. The only real 32bit processor is Core Duo (Yonah) but it is mainly for laptops. Other 32bit processors are outdated, relatively slow and would just make your life miserable.

Do all new computers running under Vista have 64 bit processors? How can I get a new computer with a 32 bit pphotoshop

better question is why do you want a 32 bit processor, you can run XP on a 64 bit machine by using XP64. but not all new computers have 64 bit cpu's and i commend your willingness in steering clear of vista, its orrible and it dont work very well
Vista comes in two flavors, 32-bit and 64-bit; whichever you use depends on your CPU. Although you must use a 64-bit processor to run 64-bit Vista, you can use either for Vista 32-bit. Vista is just the OS, however, and it doesn't solve any of your day-to-day needs without games and applications. This is why your approach to deciding which computer to get to run Vista shouldn't be based on Vista's requirements, but on the requirements of the games/programs you wish to run UNDER Vista. More specifically, the games/programs with the highest level of system requirements.

How do I burn DVDs, and what do I need? I am running Vista on my toshbia.?

How do I burn DVDs, and what do I need? I am running Vista on my toshbia.?norton antivirus 2007

depends what you are trying to burn. if it's data, you can use the default software. just copy files, insert a disc, and paste onto disc and burn. if it's ISO files, use infra recorder: infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/.

if you're trying to copy dvds, namely commercial dvds, keep in mind that you are most likely violating a copyright law. you can use Nero, which is not free, or Roxio, which is not free either, but may or may not be included with your computer. Windows media won't even run dvds in most cases, so i'd advise you to keep away from it.

I am currently using a computer with XP, but am thinking of replacing it with a laptop with Vista Ho

Hi,

YES Adobe does work with Vista, you can always ask for Windows XP Pro to be installed on your New System and then you know that it will work O.K. hope this helps you.

I am currently using a computer with XP, but am thinking of replacing it with a laptop with Vista Home Premiumsecurity

Adobe is ok,WAIT A YEAR BEFORE YOU GET VISTA SP1 IS,NT OUT YET.A lap top has very short battery life,a pc is better.
I don't think the new features that vista has are worth the teething problems accompanied with the new OS. I personally think sticking to windows xp media centre edition is the best idea. Best out there as far as windows OS goes. Its cheaper as well.
Vista is the biggest resource hog. I would hold off of Vista until at least Service Pack 1 is released. You can still purchase Dell and HP laptops (there may be others) with the option of XP. Your Adobe photoshop should be ok with Vista.
Oh my... you forgot to tell us WHAT VERSION of Adobe that you use. But it probably works.

How do I get into windows vista when I have forgotten my password?

Hi, you can sort this out, so don't worry.

A great Windows password cracker is Ophcrack. This password cracker is based on rainbow tables rather than brute force, which means it doesn't take hours and days to run, rather only 20 mins or so.

http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

All you do is download the iso image from their website and burn it onto CD (maybe do this on a friend's computer if you cannot access yours). Then boot your WindowsPC with the Ophcrack cd you have just burnt. You can select the boot device as CD in the bios of your computer.

It will start automatically and in no time tell you all the passwords it finds.

Please note that it may not work if your password contains special symbols (eg. !"搂$% etc.)

I just updated from Windows XP to Vista and now my speakers will not work. Anyone have any ideas?

My speakers are just the normal Dell speakers that come with the computer when you buy it.

I just updated from Windows XP to Vista and now my speakers will not work. Anyone have any ideas?adware

Do headphones work? If not, then you may need to go to Dell's website, look up your PC's serial # or model, then find the vista drivers for your sound card.

I just updated from Windows XP to Vista and now my speakers will not work. Anyone have any ideas?antivirus scan

Just go into the device manager ans see if the driver needs to be updated.
If you have a sound (located inside your computer) card and it is made by a company named Creative then that is your problem. It is not your speakers but your sound card that your speakers are hooked into on the back of your computer that is not working. The Dell web site might have a sound card driver download that might help you but if the sound card is from Creative then your problem might never get solved as Creative has still never released any workable upgrades to fix their sound card problems with Vista.

Edit update: One more thought. The Creative sound cards work great in XP and could be the main reason for your sound lose due to your Vista upgrade. As a computer expert for over 10 years I would go back to XP and run Vista only in a brand new computer. I run computers for Uncle Sam and we are still using Windows 2000/XP and will for at least another 5 years. I do not see Vista ever getting cleared for use. To many problems.
Aren't your speakers. It is your sound card. It's probably not compatible with vista. You can either go to microsoft website and check for drivers updates or if you know your sound card's brand, you can go to the website and find out. (Tip: if th speakers hook up to the top in the back, the sound card is integrated in your mother board, if it's in the bottom you have an actual sound card). If your computer is some sort of brand like compaq, or dell, or something like that, you can find your computer's components info in their websites.

The existing driver does not support the operating system (vista) or visa verso.

Solution:

- See if you can find the driver on the Internet or call Fujitsu services to email you the right drivers.

How:

- In the vista windows (drivers) it will provide you the information which driver is not support or not functioning accordingly.

Have reinstalled vista onto fujitsu amilo Li 1718 now wireless internet button doesnt work?antivirus

Make sure you install all of the drivers for the computer also.

If you do not have a drivers disk in addition to the Vista disk taht you installed, you may need to go to the manufacturer's website and see if they have a support page where you can download them. I would bet that this would take care of your problem.
Have you reinstalled the driver for it? Check your hardware manager for devices not installed then check your installation disc for the right driver. Sometimes there are several different drivers for wifi.

If you have a problem finding the driver, punch in your pc make and model number into google and you should find them.
Best help is to do what I did, format drive, install XP pro, throw vista in trash where it belongs or better still sue microsoft for selling such bad software.

What will happen if Vista Ultimate is installed in low requirement computer?

What will happen if we are installing Windows Vista Ultimate in low performance computer.

The low performance computer as i type is meant that the computer is only can meet the requirement for Windows Vista Home Basic.(Home Basic do not have Aero and 3D Flip navigation).

If i am installing Ultimate version, will this disable COMPLELETELY Aero and Flip 3D or the features as i mentioned above is still present in the computer and need a heavy work load to display the Aerdo and 3D Flip?

What will happen if Vista Ultimate is installed in low requirement computer?anti virus

Yes, the aero and flip 3d features will be disabled. Also in 512mb of ram vista ultimate will run even slower than snail just because in ultimate version there are many more features that need memory. So it will be damn slow. Probably, if vista setup checks for adequate system requirements, it will not even install.

What will happen if Vista Ultimate is installed in low requirement computer?auto protect

it probably wont run
Those features such as AERO and FLIP will not work, the system will run those heavy duty features based on your system performance scoring which Vista calculates during and after install. If your system doesnt meet the required score then it automatically disables those features.
May work, may work VVAARRYY SLOWWW, may not work at ALL, you do know ultamate waaay more cool stuff apart from just aero and 3D flip right?

Is there a 939 mobo compatible with vista 64-bit?

I ordered an Asus A8V-XE motherboard and Vista x64. They have not arrived yet, but I just realized there are no Vista drivers on the asus website for this particular board. i don't want to open the mobo and find it incompatible. Anyone know of a 939 board that works with vista 64?

Is there a 939 mobo compatible with vista 64-bit?antivirus software

Yes, MSI carries a few 64-bit boards that are compatible with Vista. However, be warned that many programs (including some virus scanners) hate the 64-bit environment and will not install/run at all. If I were you, I would avoid Vista-64 at all costs.

Is there a 939 mobo compatible with vista 64-bit?computer virus

tbh if you find somewhere stocking many 939 mobos now your lucky,

http://www.asrock.com/support/Download.a...

Asrock has a couple 939 boards, but i have little faith in that company

other then that i can't really find any 939 boards which themselves support Vista although it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

Vista is meant to make use of the 64bit core, it should still run on a non Vista specialised board, it just... wont be as good.
Boy, did I work at this one (to no avail) - the problem with trying to find a socket 939 mobo that will definitely work with Vista is the age of those motherboards. Socket 939s stopped sometime in 2004, and apparently, while just about all of that generation of motherboard was certified for XP, its only the socket AM2 motherboards that are certified for Vista. I checked Abit, Asus, Biostar, ECS, and Gigabyte, and no one had socket 939 mobos with Vista drivers.

HOWEVER! I did a quick check of my PC, where I have Vista running in a virtual machine, and my PC is a socket 939 system from Gateway, with the Nvidia C51 chipset and GeForce 6100 onboard video - similar to many socket 939 mobos I looked at. Since that's one of the most common chipsets for socket 939 systems, and since the K8T890 in your Asus motherboard is also one of the most common chipsets of the time for socket 939 systems, I'd say you've got a very good chance that it will work with Vista. Granted, I could only find one K8T890 motherboard that's definitely certified for Vista (and it was socket AM2), but I'd still say its a good bet it will work with Vista. Hope this helps.

Should i buy the full version of windows vista if i am installing it on a hard drive partition ?

I wanted to dual-boot my computer with XP and Vista and I was wondering if I should buy the full version or the upgrade if I am installing it on a hard drive partition.

Should i buy the full version of windows vista if i am installing it on a hard drive partition ?antivirus

You can get either. Depending on the version of Vista you're looking to install, a full version may be cheaper that the upgrade version. You DO NOT have to install XP on the partition to install Vista. Start the Vista installation and at some point it will ask for your original XP CD and COA (serial number).

Shop around, and DON'T buy Vista at a retail store. You pay hundreds more than if you buy it online somewhere.

Roughly priced, Vista should cost -

Vista Home Basic 32 bit $100

64 bit $106

Vista Home Premium 32 bit $120

64 bit $126

Vista Business 32 bit $160

64 bit $170

Vista Ultimate 32 bit $190

64 bit $200

Hope that helps.

How do I set up wireless network from Vista to XP?

Hi there. I want to set up a wireless Connection from my Master Computer (running Vista) to a different computer running XP. The problem is that when I insert the usb flash drive into the XP computer, It says it cannot install the wireless network because the computer is using a different version of windows. Oh, and to make matters worse, I lost the CD that came with the network card.

What can I do?!

My network card is a DWL-520+ (D-Link)

How do I set up wireless network from Vista to XP?aurora

You don't really need anything special. My main desktop computer is running XP pro and this machine I'm typing to you on is running Vista Premium. I use a store bought router and its configured with all the security that it comes with.

Your usb. Are you booting with USB plugged in? If so, try booting with out it plugged in. Also try another USB port and a different USB flash drive.

You can go to the Dlink website and search for and download your driver. Its not Vista Compatible according to Dlink.

All music files are in duplicate on Windows Vista?

For some reason, most of the files are in duplicate - I didn't think you could have 2 identical files in one folder anyway!

Can you use the Vista CD from Dell more than once?

My friend just got a new Dell laptop preloaded with Vista Home Premium. It also came with a disc of Vista. So does anyone know what this disc is or how many times you can use it?

Can you use the Vista CD from Dell more than once?bmw

The deal is this - you can install it on two computers. However, it can only be activated on one computer at a time. The reason for this is that if you make significant hardware upgrades it will be interpreted as a second computer, and so they set it up like this so you can do hardware upgrades without purchasing a new copy of Vista. But it will deactivate the first version (which makes sense if you're installing it twice on the same computer) and only activate the second copy.

So what it really comes down to is activation. When you install Vista, you have 30 days to activate it. When you do this, it connects to the microsoft server and makes sure that this version hasn't been used already. If it has, it won't activate. You have 30 days of use before it goes into reduced functionality mode, where it deletes your start menu and all desktop shortcuts and won't do anything but connect you to the microsoft site to purchase a legal copy.

If your friend's computer has Vista installed on it, it's probably been activated. If you install it on your computer, it will either deactivate his copy (meaning he has 30 days of use) or refuse to activate on your computer. Plus neither of you will be able to reinstall it since it's already attempted to activate twice. Or, they may mark that serial number as pirated and not let either of you activate.

What is the diffence between windows xp and windows vista?computer virus

The difference is that XP still gives you the freedom to run what ever you want on your computer and Vista does not.

Essentially you tell XP what you want to run and it will comply without too much argument.

Vista tells you what it will allow you to run and prohibits you from doing as you please.

Also Vista degrades all audio and video files by 60% unless they are digitally signed by Microsoft in the form of WMA or WMV files with acquired licenses.

And any copies of audio or video files made with Vista are automatically corrupted.

You should read this short article from Forbes Magazine about Vista.

due to the fact that some of the programs are used by other programs you cant uninstall them, try clicking on them for information they should take you to a website for information. also you can go into C drive and take them out from there but I dont recomend doing this if you have no idea about computers.

How do you restore a hard drive on a compaq presario v200 with a window vista home basic or a window

Depends on what you mean by "restore". If you have a bunch of stuff you want to save, and you can still boot your machine then the first step would be to back up all that stuff to CD, DVD, USB drive, etc. Then if you have a restore disk that came w/ the machine simply boot to it and follow your nose. If you just have the OS on a disk then boot to that, after backing up your stuff of course, then you will need to delete the partition the OS is on, re-create the partition, format it, and install the OS. After you get the OS on the machine you will need to run all the windows updates, install antivirus, re-install all your software, and then put your backed up files back on teh machine.

you can do a repair install of xp or vista and it won't lose all your programs as long as you don't repartition the harddrive or reformat it. the repair install will repair the os and save all your program settings.

Is there a usb cable that can transfer my files from xp laptop to new vista laptop?

is this easiest way to transfer files like photos etc to my new computer?

Is there a usb cable that can transfer my files from xp laptop to new vista laptop?ducati

you cold use a memory stick, backup files into it and then transfer them to your new computer. Please drop Vista, go with XP. It will make thing much smoother for you. Good luck!

Is there a usb cable that can transfer my files from xp laptop to new vista laptop?hp

Use a cd.
copy the files onto a writeable cd. for two reasons

(1) you will always have a copy of them

(2) it is easier to copy files and folders to and from cd's
I think you can use a lan lead
USB link cables are crap. Either get a USB hard-disk, or move the files via your network. If you do not have a network, buy an ethernet cross-over cable, and link your machines that way.

EDIT: in your position, I would simply mount my old drive in the new box as a slave, then copy the files directly.
You should dump windows and install kubuntu instead. Or at the very least, upgrade your vista system to xp (yes, I know vista came out after xp, but xp just about works, while vista is a crock of ****)
You should use a laplink cable.
It would be the quickest way I expect. I just put all my files onto a cd and after I installed Vista I copied the files from the cd back to the computer.
I have an mp3 player which I use as a pen drive. If you have one you can use simply load your pics onto it then plug the player into a USB port on your Vista computer and load them into your pics folder.
Not a USB cable but you can buy a serial transfer cable and connect both PC s that way use the in built file transfer program in Windows
Belkin now do a Vista transfer cable especially to transfer files from an XP machine to a Vista machine. Costs about 拢20 and is available at PC World. I have one myself and it works in conjuction with the file transfer wizard and special drivers supplied on a cd that is supplied with the cable.
Use crossable or USB flush drive

What internet security software will work best with vista? And will not slow down my computer?

These should all work with Vista.

Spybot - Search %26 Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S%26D is free.

Ever since I got a new computer with vista, AIM and JAVA malfunction constantly, how to fix this?

AIM really has a hard time working, as do many other programs, should I just downgrade to XP?

Uninstall Vista. Resort to Linux or XP. Preferably Linux. Less viruses, less problems.

Ever since I got a new computer with vista, AIM and JAVA malfunction constantly, how to fix this?internet

you answered your own question my friend.
Make sure you have the most current (Vista) versions of Java and AIM. You do NOT want to downgrade. Some have done so but it's an expensive and complex process.
No, you need to research the conflicts you're having, that's what I had to do.

Where can I get microsoft powerpoint for windows vista? Do any new computers come with it already installed?kawasaki

ms office is an optional package for additional price for some retailers. new computers doesn't come with it so you always have to buy it.
MS Powerpoint is a sub-program of the MS Office suite. You can get it separate, but why wouldn't you just get the MS Office package and have Word, Excel %26 Powerpoint at your fingertips.

And no, MS Office does not come standard with new computers. That's a $250+ program which Microshaft is not about to give away. You could download an illegal copy from somewhere on the internet, but that's up to you to do your own research...
Most computers, new, come equipped with a trial of Microsoft Office (now 2007); you can use the trial of Office which has PowerPoint or just download the trial from http://office.microsoft.com.

PP is a part of the MS Office suit, you won't find it in any other suit.
If you buy a new computer with Vista, you get Works 8.5 with it...that has Powerpoint bundled with it

Windows Vista Question - why do items we have deleted from the desktop keep returning?

We have deleted the items from the desktop and then from the trash, but every morning when we logon the deleted items have returned to the desktop again.

Also...we can't seem to save anything to 'my documents' - can only save to the desktop.

We are on a network server.

Any ideas on how we can fix this?

What sort of items?

If you were not on a network server, malware or a virus would be the first thought. Check thoroughly anyhow.

Windows Vista Experts: How can I get a warning off my status bar?

My hubby logged on to an adult site, which he said was "free." Now we have this flashing warning that tells us we have a "probable" chance of getting a virus. We have McAfee, so I know the computer is protected. (Protected Mode is On). You can close this warning off, but it pops up all the time. Don't know how to get it off. There is more than one site doing this. I'm sure my hubby clicked OK instead of "no." There have been various virus scan software that I've had to delete or uninstall. Do I have to download the free trial and uninstall? Or will I have to keep doing this?

Windows Vista Experts: How can I get a warning off my status bar?hijack this

I'd guess that an adware/spyware installed on your computer when he went to that site. And, that adware is trying to get you to act on the ad by scaring you about a "probable" virus.

First, I'd recommend that you do not click on it at all. Second, do you have McAfee anti-virus or Security Suite (which includes anti-spy)? Because you'll need to run an anti-spy program to get rid of what's on your computer. You could run your Windows Defender to see if that will clear it. There are also other free anti-spy programs you could run, such as AVG:

Porn sites put nasty stuff on your pc.

You need a router of some sort hooked up to your broadband connection.

THen you need a work group so that you can share resources.

Need to set up a wired home network with Vista %26 XP computers?microsoft office

Do you just have a cross-over cable from one computer to the other or do you have a router?

The router will take care of Internet sharing.

Whichever computer has the printer attached to it, go to Control Panel %26gt; Printers and right click on the printer and then Sharing. Turn Sharing on.

On the other machine have windows look for a networked printer.

Folders can be shared by right-clicking on them and going to Advanced (I believe) and enabling sharing)
too much detail to discuss here.

im or email me.
You'll need a router if you want each to be able to connect to the internet at the same time.

Your DSL/Cable modem will plug into it's plug on the router, then you'll connect your computers using their ethernet cables to the router.
