New e540 laptop and need help preinstalled windows

I recently bought an E540 laptop and my question is how can I get it to run Windows 8? The box says it comes with preinstalled Windows 7 and 8 but not sure if I accidently pressed something on first boot up that caused it to start Windows 7. Is there any way to run Windows 8 instead? I do not mind reinstalling everything.
Thanks in advance. 

Hello and welcome,
Is it Windows 7 Professional?  I wonder if it was specified as "Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 8.1 Pro 64".  I haven't seen a machine with both 7 and 8 preinstalled.  (that doesn't prove much...)
If it is as I suspect, the machine is licensed for Windows 8 (the key is stored in the BIOS) and has Windows 7 installed.  It used to be that some machines in that configuration had a set of Windows 8 DVDs in the box, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more.
You can contact support for a set of Win 8 media (there may be a charge for that) or you can try a clean install with downloaded media:  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    Bad or incompatible RAM is, more often then not, the cause of most Kernel Panics. It could also just need to be reset.
    Here's the most used site for Resolving Kernel Panics. Please do all the steps in order, even if you don't think you need to do a certain step.
    Here is a great MacFixIt article.

  • New to Dreamweaver and need help with fomatting font

    Hi,  I am new to dreamweaver and have been playing with it for a few weeks.  I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am making some detailed html templates for my ebay listings.  I have created my tables, graphics, and colors but I am having trouble with my font formatting.  Everything is looking really good, but there are a few sentences and even just a few phrases that I want to underline but when I add a text decloration and underline, it just underlines the whole area of sentenses not the specific one that I highlited.  I know how to create a h1, h2, h3 etc code and add underline to it, but I don't want to have to format a h1 or h2 tag everything I want to format a little line.  The reason I have been doing this is because It really is  one of the only ways I have been able to figure out how to underline something.  I watched some tutorials which is how I learned this.  I figured out in the properties Panel on bottom of page to click on the CSS rule to create certain codes and such, but I am not sure how to do this.  I tried one thing which was where it says target rule, I clicked new CSS Rule and then in then in the CSS Styles Panel on right side of screen I selected add property which I was then able to do a text decloration and underline, but it underlines many more sentenses than I am wanting or have selected.  Please help so I am able to specifically choose how to underline just a word or two, and even to have just a word or two specifiaclly be a certain font, size or color.  I am able to find ways to make this work on words as a whole, but not individual words or phrases.
    Thanks for any help its really appreciated!

    Bear in mind that an underlined word or phrase on the web means a clickable link to most people.
    So, if you want to draw attention to something on screen, use anything (font size, color etc) except for an underline.
    text-decoration: underline; is only used in CSS for styling clickable links. Not for regular text.
    One option is to use the HTML <span> tag combined with CSS.
    CSS
    .important {
         font-size: 14px;
         color: red;
    <p>This sentence contains a really <span class="important">important</span> word</p>

  • New to Macs and need help with communication error in video chat

    Hello! I have the same problem with video chatting that many others are having with errors -7 and -8. I am brand new to macs, and while I understand what the other threads are talking about about changing ports and settings, I don't exactly know how to do those things on my new system (iMac with OS X tiger 10.4.8). My quicktime settings are set to 1.5 and my iChat port is changed to 443. I have been able to connect with one person via iChat video on a different network, but I was given the above errors when I tried to connect with someone else tonight. I am using my built in airport with a Lynksys WRT54G broadband router. Please let me know how I can go about fixing this problem. Thank you!

  • New to Indesign and need help on layout

    Hi there
    I have a small invitaiton business and have recently started using Indesign (steep learning curve).  I have designed a wedding suite for a bride and it is ready to go off to the printers.  My problem is i have recently changed printers and these guys print on size SRA3 and charge for set up costs if I dont supply all my setup in this size.
    I dont know how to do this!  Is there a simple way i can take my one invitation and place it multiple times on a SRA3 setup without copying and pasting.  Plus all my crop marks and bleeds need to line up.
    ANy help would be really appreciated.
    thanks
    Nerissa

    I really did not want to say more about this but your attitude is ....
    Who are you that you think you know every printers setup and requirements, who are you to say that a person must not go to there prefered printer for work.
    What the hell does a car got to do with printing, NOTHING. Keep on topic!
    You say modern workflow, so your saying every print shop in every town in every country has exactly the same equipment as your printer has and whats needed to handle your unprofessional approach to laying out graphics, wake up will ya every print house in every town can be different your arrogance in assuming every print house can reproduce your improperly prepared graphics is just going to cause trouble.
    Refering back to the original post. I did not see the name of the printer they where sending the job to, do you know them personally to insist that your way is the best way to reproduce the job. NO!
    You do not know them yet you jumped on my suggestion and it was only a suggestion that could lead to an idea for getting the job done. You called it BS yet every working day at my work I follow that sort of work flow for a number of reason. No it is not modern Yes it does work everyday.
    You thinking that your way is the only way is no help to anyone in here.
    This forum is for everyone, if I take the time to suggest something so be it, it is not your job to judge if my suggestion is wrong.
    Be a help not a hinderance and keep your arrogance outta the forum.
    P Taz:
    Bob's main problem is this modern workflow chip on his shoulder, not everyone has the latest and greatest hardware and software. Adobe is printing longer then I care to think back on, and they have many different ways of doing this job and many of these are still in use. Modern is all fine and dandy if you have it.
    I am not happy with using obsolete processes but that is what I have to work with. I absorb a lot that is said in these forums not all I can use yet but its good to see the changes in technology. Everyone as a designer has to keep in mind the Printshop that is printing there work
    I never came in here with the intention to revert people, I only suggested a way to get a job done even you do not know what equipment the printer has to reproduce the OP problem. How in gods name can a suggestion be wrong for this forum even you have fallen for bob's inability to realise there are still people out in the real world not using the most modern workflow equipment and these people need help.
    It is no good you just saying update update update. The job needs doing with what they have, later when money permits or whatever then talk to them about modern workflows.
    And lastly goes out my appology to the original poster, I am very sorry this has gone as far as it has.
    Bob... Lighten up!

  • I   just  got  a  new iPone 4S and  would  like  to  change  my ringtone  to  an  Allen  Jackson  song .  I  already  download iTunes . I'm  very  new  to this  and  need  help ????..please

    I just  got  a  new iPhone 4S . I  would  like  to  change my  ringtone to an Alan Jackson  song .  I already download i Tunes .  but  i don't  know  how  to  do it . i'm  very  new  to this  and  would  like to know if someone  can help me with this ? Thanks

    Your past purchases are not on the computer.   By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer. 
    Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
    When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
    Say yes, this is what you wan to do. 

  • Trying to reactivate cs6  adobe is not allowing my serial..the computers previous activated are stolen and destroyed..trying a new computer now and need help

    please help trying to reactivate on another computer and adobe is saying this number i already registered,but the # is not showing in my account..Like i have proof of purchase and serial but adobe is saying" I dont knw what you talking about" .Its like making a purchase from a street dealer with stolen goods...whats the prob?

    Who were you talking to at Adobe? You'll have to get help from web chat since serial number issues can't be handled in a public forum. Here's a link:
    Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
    If you're not happy with the agent you're talking to, insist on chatting with a supervisor.

    this is more of a jdbc question rather than an internationalization. You might be able to get more help if you post it in java programming section.

  • Im new to this and need help with putting a password on my wireless

    I've had my linksys router for a few years now and recently have been asked to secure it so no one else in the neighborhood can connect to it but me but Ive never known how and I cannot find the installation CD for it.  I have a model number# WRT54G.  I tried searchin the forums but couldn't seem to find one I could understand.  If anyone could please offer me some help on how to simply put a password on it so just my computer and the others in the house can access the wifi thatd be great.  Thanks

    To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
    Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" or "Wireless Security" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
    First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
    Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
    Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
    To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
    Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
    WEP - poor (see note below)
    WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
    WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
    WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
    The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
    Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
    And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
    Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
    Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
    One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2.   The patch is located in SP3, so you will need SP3 to run WPA2. 
    Note:
    WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

  • IMac won't keep system settings. Mac OS X version 10.6.5. New to this and need help. Thanks

    Just got my first iMac and am new to the Mac operating system. I figured out how to set it so I could connect to the internet and also set my wallpaper and screensaver to my liking.  After I shut it down and turned it on later, all of my setting were gone. It reset itself back to the original settings it had when I got it.  I bought it at an auction and it was previously owned by a local community college. I did not get any disks with it. I have searched the internet on how to fix it and am more confused than ever. I don't know if I have Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, etc.
    The computer seems to work just fine. It boots up quickly is loaded with programs I have yet to learn. I do know that it sat unused for a year or more. Could it be that the internal battery could be dead? I have looked but cannot find any kind of diagnostic test or information regarding the internal battery on the internet. Not exactly sure what kind of info someone would need to help me fix this issue.  The hardware overview I found in system profiler looks like this:
    Model Name:                       iMac
    Model Identifier:                   iMac4,1
    Processor Name:                Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed:               2 GHz
    Number of Processors:       1
    Total Number of Cores:       2
    L2 Cache:                             2 MB
    Memory:                                2 GB
    Bus Speed:                          667 MHz
    Boot Rom Version:              IM41.0055.B08
    SMC Version (system)       1.1f5
    Serial Number (system)     QP********U2S
    Hardware UUID                   00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB8BC90C
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

    The retail version of Snow Leopard is 10.6.3, so the only way this model would be running 10.6.5 is if someone installed a version of Snow Leopard that came with a new iMac model with 10.6.5 pre-installed. In effect this computer has the wrong version of Snow Leopard installed which could be the reason for your problem.
    I suggest you do this:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    After you receive your Snow Leopard DVD do the following:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 13 on both desktop and laptop and need help

    The one on my laptop has more calendar themes than the one on my desktop. How do I get all of the themes on my desktop version?

    How did you try to install ACR 8.8.  The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
    There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma.  This one tells you what your camera needs:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html   This one tells you what version of software you need:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6.  (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
    To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13.   Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
    The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter.  Download and install it from here for FREE:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890  Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use.  That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom.  DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless.  There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

  • New to apple and need info about windows on mac

    Hey guys
    Im planning on buying a mac within the next few months and I know that users are now able to have a windows partition on the mac. Does this allow the user to use server side programming languages etc on their macs as you would on a PC? or is there software that needs to be brought to be able to do this? How do you do the windows partition on a mac?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Does this allow the
    user to use server side programming languages etc on
    their macs as you would on a PC?
    Yes
    or is there software
    that needs to be brought to be able to do this?
    Two choices
    Boot Camp or Parallels
    http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/
    http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/
    Note both choices require a full copy of WIndows.
    How
    do you do the windows partition on a mac?
    Using the Boot Camp software.
