Reinstalling Windows after a change in MOBO

I just dropped my Athlon 64 and the K8T mobo in the case plugged in the PCI cards and started up.   Running Windows XP ... bootup is slow and on occasion the computer will restart on its own, and even sometimes lock up ...
Wondering if a clean install of Windows XP ... could help with the issues described ...  your thoughts.. thx

you should ALWAYS format when changing a motherboard, i can't believe windows xp even booted at all!!!
So if you havent yet, format the computer

  • Reinstalling Windows after harddisk failure.

    Hi, a month ago my laptop (on the back it says its a P300 M18) had a critical harddisk failure, now i finally got it back with a replacement harddisk but i have no clue how to reinstal windows vista which originally came with it again. (i don't remember it being on a cd or dvd) When i opened the laptop up i thought i was going to see the same installation process as when i first got the laptop, instead i get a black dos-like screen apparantly under Windows 98. the only thing i get is "C:\>" asking me for a command or filename. I'm lost, any help is appreciated.

    when I put the disk into the slot it does accept it.
    Which Adobe software are you trying to re-install?

  • Re-Install Windows after Harddisk change

    Hi,I have a Lenovo V570 laptop. It is 3+ years old. I recently had to change the HDD. After the HDD change, local technician loaded Ubuntu. However, I wanted to go back to the installed Windows 7. I have the Activation Key. However, not sure from where I can get the Windows to dwnload.I tried Microsoft site. After validating the key, I got a message as the key is part of OEM and I need to contact the manufacturer. I had no luck in getting touch with themCan some one please help me to correct link for Windows 7 download? Thanks

    Hi,
    look inside your /User/Library/Parallels folder if the .hdd file that is your Parallels Windows VM is still present.
    To my knowledge the uninstall of Parallels does not delete it.
    Whether or not VirtualBox can use is for import is beyond my knowledge.
    Regards

  • Reinstalled windows and lost all playlists

    Hi,
    I reinstalled Windows after a virus and all my files were recovered from my backup system just fine. However, when I went to the Apple Store it didn't recognize my computer. I had to log in several times. I purchased some new music, synced my ipod nano and then when I went to my music library all the music was gone except for the newly purchased songs. Same goes for the ipod.
    I panicked.
    I was able to recover all the old songs but lost all my playlists.
    I am not sure if I can recover the playlists. Is that part of the old Library file? What will happen to my new music if I import the old library?
    Thanks,
    S

  • Simple PopUp Close Window after Saving

    Greetings,
    (I did some seaching on the forum and didn't find a solution.)
    I have a PopUp window (called with the popUp2() function) which I would like to have close when a person clicks the save button in the PopUp, therefore only showing the main page.
    (I have an application that the user can enter general comments in. They want a window to pop up for the entry of their comment(s) and close after they enter and save them. Automatically 'returning' to the main page they were on. When they click the Save button it simply saves their comments into a comment table that is associated with the main tables of the application.)
    How is it best to close the PopUp window in the scenario I described? A DML process is saving the changes. I assume that's a server process, so javascript to close the window won't work there. I was gonna add a branch to close the window, but branches are server side too.
    Not sure how to best go about closing the window after table changes are saved. I bet it's something simple, but I'm not seeing it. :-)
    Thanks, Tony

    Hi Monica,
    Since the form is not submitting to the database try the other option I gave you.
    Remove the javascript from the SAVE button, set the Target to -No Target -.
    I assume you're using an Automatic Row Processing (DML) that saves the data to the database?
    If so, after that process, create a PL/SQL process using the following:
    BEGIN
    -- Redirects the calling (parent page) then closes this popup window.
    htp.p('<body>');
    htp.p('<script type="text/javascript">');
    htp.p('window.close(this);');
    htp.p('window.opener.location.href="f?p=&APP_ID.:24:&SESSION.";');
    htp.p('</script>');
    htp.p('</body>');
    END;
    Under the Conditional Processing for this process, select the 'SAVE' button (When Button Pressed).
    Remove any branches you have on the pop up page (assuming you have a branch that takes you to page 24).
    When you click the SAVE button, the DML process will run, saving the data to the database. Then the second process you just created will run which will close the pop up window, then reload the 'parent' page.

  • Can't access my apple lossless files on external hard drive after reinstalling windows 8.1

    Hi guys
    New to this. I reinstalled windows 8.1 after windows continually asking me to change my password after not recognising it despite it being the right one. All my apple lossless tunes are on my external hard drive. Windows keeps saying 'I don't have access to this file currently'. I tried right clicking on hard drive, clicked properties, and tried assigning administrator rights to everyone but still no luck. Contacted windows who said it was an apple issue so here I am.
    Can anyone help. I've got 900 albums on this hard drive and the thought of ripping them all again is stressing me.
    Thanks guys
    Stuart

    Changing the path to the media folder doesn't change which database iTunes opens. If your original database is on the external drive then shift-start-iTunes and use the choose option to open it. If you no longer have access to the original database shift-start-iTunes and create a new empty library at X:\iTunes, where X: is the external drive letter, ensure the media folder is set to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, move all of your content inside X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, use File > Add Folder to Library > X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. There are some scripts near the end that can extract ratings, play counts and playlists from your device and the rest of the tip explains how you backup and restore the device with the new library to avoid losing data.

  • Restoring Infinity after reinstalling Windows

    Hi
    Should know this but can't recall. I'm having to reinstall Windows Garbage I mean Vista.
    I have a BT Infinity CD but don't think the engineer used it when I was first connected.
    Is there anything special I have to do to restore internet after reinstalling Vista? Do I have to create a new password for my HH2 etc? (Can't think of the old one!)
    Many thanks
    Longshanks

    Reinstalling windows wont have any effect on the home hub itself, other than any settings/logins windows uses to connect will need entering again in the new windows install. For example if you connect via WiFi youll have to enter your WiFi username/password, if you want to change hub settings youll have to type your hub login as your browser wont remember it anymore. If youre using a wired ethernet connection, the new install of vista should very simply connect and work.
    In my experience reinstalls are always a lot safer with a 2nd pc/laptop nearby to get online to download any updates/drivers and ask/google for assistance with any random problems.

  • Windows Vista won't connect after security change

    I have an AirPort Extreme base station, to which we connect using an iMac, PowerBook G4 and a Windows Vista laptop. I used to have it set to WEP, but changed it to WPA for the increased security. After the change, my PowerBook and iMac are connecting just fine, but my wife's Vista machine has been nothing but headaches. It will sometimes connect, after a bit of fighting with it, but not reliably or quickly. At the moment, it says that it is connected with local and internet access, but I can't actually access anything on the internet, and diagnosing the problem in Vista reports that a wireless network cannot be found (despite the fact that it simultaneously reports that it is connected to one).
    I know squat about Windows -- I'm a Mac guy. Anybody know how to help me fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    No answers, but the problem seems to have disappeared. Man, I'm starting to realize how fortunate I am to have been using Macs for the last 23 years. I think Vista is going to be a very good thing for Apple! There's nothing like actually using Vista to make one want to flee screaming and never look back...

  • I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

    I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes.  What next?  I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

    I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer.  I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours.  They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways.  Each install gave the same problem!  If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble.  They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution.  I am waiting and hoping.  Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

  • Reinstalling PSE12 after clean install of windows 8.1

    I already purchased PSE12 from this site and installed it on this PC, but I just found out that I need to reinstall windows 8.1 (to switch from 32 bit to 64 bit).  Will I be able to use the same license on the computer after I reinstall, or will I need to buy a new copy of PSE?

    Use Help> Sign Out before reinstalling Windows. This will deactivate the software. Be sure you're connected to the Internet when you do this.

  • Can't open PSD file after reinstall windows 7 64 bit

    After reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what the problem is. And how to fix it.
    Thank you.

    Perhaps these files were corrupted. I can not say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?
    If so, it is quite rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try reinstalling photoshop. Then check these files were opened or not. If not. Then the only option is a special software. I would use on your site this program

  • Reinstall windows 7 pro to change the system language

    Hello Everyone!
    I recently bought a ThinkPad T400 online with preinstalled Windows 7 Professional.
    The system language is German and I want to change it to english.
    So far Ive seen, that it's only possible to do so by reinstalling windows 7 pro as an english version while reusing my product key, if I don't want to upgrade to ultimate.
    I'm not so good with computers and I'm a bit scared to mess something up!
    Can someone of you give me a nice step by step or some recommendations what I need to take care of?
    Can I really just download windows 7 pro from the official windows store? And how do I make sure to really get it in english?
    Thank you so much in advance!!
    I really didn't think changing the language could be so much of a hassle.

    Installing Windows 7 is easy. But before going that route, you may want to contact Lenovo and see if you can get the english system recovery discs.
    If you have to reinstall windows there are good instructions here.As for downloading an ISO or purchasing an install disc, Microsofts position is that the ISO's are only available to people who purchase their OS online and then download it. All other uses are verboten. What you decide to do it is between you and your lawyer.
