Licensing - MSDN to EA
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 54 views
Hi everyone, We are in the process of getting our Enterprise Agreement sorted out via our parent company and Microsoft but until then we don't have access to software covered by an EA. Despite that, we want to get started on building a new SOE. My question is, can I install an MSDN version of Windows/Office (obviously using an MSDN license key) but then convert that to an enterprise licensed version later when our KMS is online? If not, I will have to wait until the licensing is sorted out and I have access to copies of Enterprise software. Thanks. View the thread

I need to wipe an old computer a friend gave to me. I can not use the DOS method because of administrative issues. The Windows Recovery Console has limited actions because it requires a password which is unknown. I can not get administrative permissions. Is there some sort of software I can use? View this thread

I recently purchased a widescreen monitor (Samsung SyncMasterS23A350H) recommended display resolution 1920x1080 (16:9). This setting is not available in my display settings. The only 16:9 setting - 1280x720 - only makes things even more stretched, with black spaces above and below. Device manager says my display adapter is SiS 760. All devices are installed and working properly. Do I need a new graphics card? Can I download anything (free?) to get the right settings on Windows XP? What's the best solution? View this thread

Trusted Program?
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 42 views
Yesterday a program broke into my activities to say I had a lot of viruses and trojans. I did a lot of stuff in a panic. My WMicrosoft Security Essentials would not turn on. Apparently these programs have the ability to turn off one's virus protection. I signed on to something called Microsoft Support, thinking it was a Microsoft site, and ended up spending a lot of money. I am afraid I was duped. How can I know? View this thread

I save all my pictures to an external :F drive as my :C drive is almost full. A few days ago one of my entire Picture Folders disappeared from this :F drive (F:pictures2010-2011). When I search my computer for the folder name all the individual pictures show up in a listing now in something called a G: drive. But when I try to access any of these pictures I get this message:G:pictures2010-2011 refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted or that you are connected to the Internet or your network and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information ma…

Find details of the failed updates at the bottom of this post. Not sure if its related but I had just had a new MoBo in my Dell Laptop when this happened. Although, the latest security update worked (KB915597) but these 8 don't. Googling code FF and 6B7 doesn't give anything useful. I've tried deleting the downloaded updates and trying again. I've tried the microsoft suggestions... - running the fixit thing. It says "system repaired" but it LIES!!! - running the update fix thing but that fails to install. Anyone else got any suggestions? <b>Details of updates...</b> Update for Microsoft OneNote 2010 …
