My question is, possible we use our existing 32 bit license key on the pre-loaded Win 7 HP 64 bit MC101 unit? Would you please kindly advise whether it’s ok to use 32-bit key to activate a 64-bit image for both Technical and Licensing? Thanks! Joanne Microsoft Hong Kong Continue reading...

I am building an image to deploy Windows 7 Enterprise Edition to our computers. I have built the image on an HP DC 5700 Small Form Factor computer. The installation goes fine. I am able to customize the user environment for the administrative user I created during install. I use ImageX to capture an image of the machine before running sysprep. I can load that image back onto the computer with no problem. The problem occurs when I run Sysprep. If I run Sysprep on the computer, I get the following error during the post Sysprep start up: "Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware." I have tried several things to solve this and searched the…

For starters, I've had a really hard time attempting to get my Zebra ZP-500 USB Label Printer to work. I can get the drivers installed, but it never prints anything. I have no idea if that is related to this, but I tried doing the System Readiness Tool, etc. that Microsoft says to try, and although the tools installed correctly, after a reboot, SP1 did not. The log for the System Readiness Tool says there weren't any errors. From here: C:\Windows\Logs\CBS CheckSUR.log says: Checking System Update Readiness. Binary Version 6.1.7601.21645 Package Version 11.0 2011-03-05 14:09 Checking Windows Servicing Packages Checking Package Manifests and Catalogs Checking Pac…

Restricting access to Office programs breaks Outlook preview feature for Excel

We run Office on a terminal server and have historically restricted access to the Office programs using security groups. Only users in our "Office" security group can access the programs from the start menu and the executables. This helps us enforce our licensing for Office. Specifically we do the following: 1. Restrict the start menu "Microsoft Office" folder to "Office" users. 2. Restrict the Excel.exe, Winword.exe, etc. programs to the "Office" users. We did the same with Office 2010 and everything worked EXCEPT Excel. When legitimate users (including Domain Admins) ran Outlook they would get an out of memory error when trying to preview Excel documents. Keep i…
