Does Windows XP Media Centre Edition key also works for XP Home Edition?

Hi all,
we got a laptop (A-100), where WinXP MCE is installed. Also we do not have a recovery-CD.
Now I want to format C: and re-install Windows - but I only have a windows xp home edition-setup- CD.
So my question is:
*Does the (legal!) XP MCE-key works with the XP Home Edition?*
Thank you in advance for helpful answers and/or hints! =)

Hello
The key you can find on the bottom belongs to the copy you got with your notebook and it is not a universal key.
Generally speaking you cannot use it to activate WXP if you use Microsoft installations CD.
You can try it but I am 99% sure it will not work.

I can't syn my 2nd gen nano work with Windows XP Media Centre Edition (SP2)

I recently got a new computer with Windows XP Media Centre Edition (SP2) and a 2nd gen Nano. I have the latest version of itunes but when I plug in the Nano it won't sync.
The Nano is nowhere to be seen in itunes and shows in My Computer with an exclamation mark over it. The only thing it will do is charge.
The Nano syncs on my sisters computer which has Windows XP (SP1) and other devices work on the USB ports on my computer.
Does anyone have a clue what is wrong or what I can do.
I've had the Nano for nearly four months now and it's driving me mad!!!

Problem solved:
I used driver guide to download usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf then placed these files in my i386 folder. Then when I restarted my PC and connected my iPod I selected the i386 folder as the location to search for drivers. After that it recognised my iPod as a storage device and installed it.

Every time i try to install itunes on my laptop for windows i get the message''key not valid for use in specified state'' any clue? '

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\<User>\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I don't know which version of Oracle9i to download for XP Home Edition

I'm preparing for exam 1ZO-007 (Intro to Oracle9i SQL) and do not know which version of Oracle9i to download for XP Home Edition. Can somebody help? Thanks.

Hi,

Do the life proof cases for the iPhone 5 also work for the 5s?

Do the life proof cases for the iPhone 5 also work for the 5s or are the cases different for the 5s?
Thanks!

Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

For the Creative Suite 6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition it says the platform is Windows. Does it also work for Mac?

I have a Mac Book Pro, and i need this collection but it say's on the order sheet(after you press buy) that it is a Windows platform. Can this be made to work for a Mac platform as well?

Go back and start over... before you commit to the purchase there should be an option to change from Windows to Mac... I know there is for regular CS6, and the Education version should have that same option
I just changed the platform from Windows to Mac by clicking the little down arrow and selecting

Media Centre Product Key

Does anyone know how I can get a product key for MSI Media Centre?
It is a legal copy that I got with the computer in April, but the key is printed on the Paper CD wallet, which I can't find!!!!!
Many thanks in advance,
Themac

the serial key included with the download is:
VBMK844FOLEXHAI
it is in the serial.txt file, so it must be a generic code, like with the MSIPVS, which had the same code printed on every CD. seems a bit pointless to me, as its a free download anyway...

Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

Thanks for the information,
I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
Follow these steps to do that:
Click the "Start Menu"
Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
Select "Device Manager"
Click "Keyboards"
Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
Restart the computer
How long has the button not been working?
Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

Some keys stopped working for one user account

Dear all,
since a while (I can't say since when exactly) some of the keys stopped working: left control, left shift, and the tab key. In the beginning the caps lock didn't work as well, but it was my own setting. All other then the three listed work OK. As described in some KB articles I checked all settings for universal access, localisation, keyboard, mouse, and keyboard-shortcuts (all standard). I completely disassembled the keyboard (aprox. 50 screws!) cleaned it and checked the connections between the keys on the printed circuit. Everything looks good. Then my wife told me that she does not have the problem and indeed, in other user accounts it is all working OK. It means that it should be a setup problem in my profile. The keyboard viewer is showing every activated (pressed) key, but not the three that are not working - which is only consequent. When I disable the caps-lock then the keyboard viewer doesn't show this key being pressed either. My conclusion is that there must be a keyboard filter below the application level. Now I'm stuck.
Help appreciated!
Cheers,
Kurt.

Yup, odds were against me choosing the right item on the first go
Log back into your problem account.
Here's the whole litany for thoroughly checking your home folder. It's not as daunting as it looks.
1. Go to Users/yourname//Library/Fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
• Restart and test your applications.
• If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
( Likely suspects are Times RO, Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.) If not, put your Fonts folder back.
2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
• Go to ~(YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
• Restart and test your applications.
• If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
• Navigate to YourHome/Library.
• Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
• Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
• Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
• Click on "apply to all"
• If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
(Note:The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.)
4. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

I have the new Air Port Extreeme model A1521 and I need to set up port forwarding for HTTP. HTTP is not on the list in the set up. Does anyone know if any of those choices work for HTTP?

I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.

Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

Why doesn't the 'top edit' 'q' shortcut work for me on my timeline? The 'w' 'tail edit' works fine though.

If someone could help me out with what I'm missing I would be most grateful! Thanks!

Thanks for your response Jim. I'm following a Lynda tutorial in which it says:
"If I want to trim off everything at the head, maybe this is all me talking before the camera starts rolling, I can do what's called a Top and Tails edit.
So, the keyboard shortcuts for this are Q and W, and they're right next to each other on the keyboard. If I hit the Q key, it will lop off everything before the play head to that edit point. So now, we just have the back half of the clip. Let me undo that, Cmd+Z. And if I hit the W, it will lop off everything to the right of where the play head is parked."
It seems to work for him in the video, and I can get the W shortcut to work but not the Q one. Not sure why!
