Can you factory reset a laptop with a non genuine Windows 7?

A few years ago, my mother bought a laptop for a pretty good price from some guy. After a few days, it gave her a message that Windows 7 on that laptop was not genuine. Then I started using it and downloaded a program to get rid of the message and allow me to set pictures as my background. The laptop, over time, became slow and the memory was quickly being used (only because there was no antivirus on it and it barely had any memory). I gave it to my cousin, and my mother asked for money for it.
As I was ridding the laptop of all the useless programs it would no longer need, the thought of factory resetting never crossed my mind. Today, I thought of it, and I was wondering if it's possible to factory reset a laptop that doesn't have a genuine Windows. Or would it mess it up? As soon as my cousin gets another charger for it, I wanted to try it out and see if that would speed the laptop up by a lot and make it feel brand new. Or would Windows be gone or ask for an activation code?

Just so no viewers get confused, it's the 9 GB partition that contains the recovery image. So if you don't have that big one, you can't restore from the disk.
The 1.46 GB partition is marked Active because it has the boot files. It also contains the recovery environment. (Microsoft likes to name the partition with Windows the Boot partition, but it doesn't have the boot files.)

HT1178 Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive

Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive. If so what software do I need to buy?

Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive.
Yes, on XP, Vista and 7. Have not tried 8.
If so what software do I need to buy?
Genie Timeline Pro does a very nice job...and it is similar to Apple's Time Machine. It's not cheap though. Check with the Genie folks for more info and compatibility with Windows 8.

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

Can't burn MP3 cd's with folders

just wondering if i'm the only one that has this problem...
my car stereo reads mp3 cd's, and folders make it a dream to navigate thru 130 songs.
problem is i can't get iTunes to burn a cd with folders. it dumps my entire playlist of approximately 130 songs in the root, leaving me to manually thumb thru all 130 songs, instead of being able to skip by folders (ie, a folder for each artist, and a subfolder for each album from that artist).
since i seriously cannot find any way to make that happen, i would assume that iTunes just doesn't give you that option, but i believe that should definitely be an option, giving you the choice to either burn it automatically, or manually configure a folder tree and manipulate all the files in any and every way.
that problem aside, iTunes is by far the best app to rip and burn flawlessly--no coasters. why can't all cd-r/dvd-r apps do this in windows? apple isn't writing the software.
however, apple leaves out a few too many advanced options in my opinion.
please let me know if there's any solution to this--if i'm doing something wrong or not finding it...
or if it's something they might work into the next version.
thanx

I tried to burn an MP3 CD with folders by artist, and something funny happened.
iTunes arbitrarily designates some albums as "compilation" albums.
On my CD, half the artists/albums went into their own folders, and half the artists/albums went into a folder called "Compilations" which contained yet another hierarchy of sub-folders. In this folder, sub-folders were organized by album name and not artist name.
None of my albums seemed to be "compilation" albums and I could find nothing in the MP3 tags that indicated that they were a "compilation".
Albums automatically thrown into the "compilations" category included:
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John
Magazine by Heart
Everything was ripped from commercial CDs that I own, but of course the MP3 tags came from CDDB/Gracenote and I didn't modify any of their designations.
Any insight into why this happened?
BTW, disregard the information below about my Mac. I did this burning on a Dell running Windows XP.

Can't get WEP to work with both mac and windows machines.

Currently my airport express is setup with no security. When I try to setup using WEP it works great for my powerbook but the windows machines constantly get disconnected.
Any ideas? Should I use other types of wireless security (WPA etc...)? If so, can an xp machine be configured for that type?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can use WPA use WPA, it will depend on your PC
wireless adapter and if you are running Windows XP
SP2.
--the window PC is running xp sp 2 but the adapter does not appear to support WPA (dell true mobile 1300 internal adapter)
from your response below not clear what is the best path to take given WEP is the only option.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors
use certain algorithms to convert simple
alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX
keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable
WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different
algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a
ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently
on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password
will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if
you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is
required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key
must be used regardless.

HT201413 can I use my android device with i tunes?

Can I use My android device with itune if so how?

Not with a gift card for the iTunes Store, anyway. Apps from the iTunes Store are for Apple's devices only. If you have a gift card for Google's app store, that would be a different matter.

Can i make a data cd with i tunes?

Fantastic, many thanks! (For some reason I was under the misapprehension that field names had to be unique.)

Can't burn my artwork files with my music onto CD WHY?

I am a musician, so when I want burn a disc of all my tracks from my own playlist, for my friends and family, I want to burn my original artwork files (which are all jpgs, pngs, gifs or tiffs so they should be compatible), onto the CD as well! I have already created my own original artwork which is in the playlist, but when I come to burn a copy of my music, it doesn't burn any of the artwork files that are in the playlist! I thought iTunes '09 new version, was supposed to be an improvement from the last versions for more flexibility and creative control for users. This obviously is NOT the case. I would like any correspondence from Apple or technical help as to why I can't do this because it's so frustrating and very annoying. iTunes isn't all that, that Apple claims it to be if it is this inflexible creatively! Surely, it can't be that difficult to write in the software for this creative facility that allows us to burn our own artwork files on to CD's along with our music? I would appreciate any comments you may have regarding this design fault. Anyone with any reasons as to why Apple have NOT addressed this problem? I am so disappointed with this lack of flexibility for musicians alike.

Hi to everyone that replied and many thanks for your input.
I have bought well known and established artists CD's containing their music, track lists and artwork files from branded retailers. When I have loaded them into iTunes, it automatically loaded the artwork files FROM the CD I bought, so all that nonsense about audio CD's having nothing but audio isn't accurate. No, they were not DVD's either. I will endeavor to find a software package that CAN do what I need as an independent artist. iTunes just doesn't cut the mustard for me, even though it's free. I do know about issues with copyright and artists protection, but there should be something that can be done or made in iTunes, so it doesn't infringe copyright of artists, but can be used by artists like myself without the software being abused by freeloaders. Oh well, maybe when I'm too old for this malarkey...

How can I burn a video shot with an iPhone 4 to a CD so a Windows user can watch it?

I shot a short video with my AT&T iPhone 4 and it's stored in iPhoto 9.1.5 on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. What do I need to do in order to burn it to a CD so I can give it to a Windows user so he can view the video on his PC running Vista? I'm not sure about the video file format needed for Windows to play the video. Thanks for any help you can provide. I know this is likely a very basic question, but nothing I've tried seems to work. Any suggestions or links to resources that can answer this question will be deeply appreciated.

You should be able to connect to their computer via your USB cable, copy the video over using Windows Explorer and the PC should be able to view it without any conversion.
When you do this, make sure they don't have iTunes set to automatically open and automatically sync when an iOS device is connected.

How can I Burn a Simple DVD with Chapters and Menus out of My Home Videos.

I created an iMovie (unsig iMovie 10.0.2) of my daughter's volleyball season. I inserted markers separating each game day, hoping these would create chapters in my DVD. Then I did some research about DVD burning apps and finally downloaded BURN. With Burn I created a DVD, but this DVD did not have chapters and also did not have a customizable menu. The whole movie ended up as one 2 hour long chapter.
I have hundresd of family vacation on a hard drive stored and would like to start making iMovies of them to put on DVD for easy watching and forbackup storing.
What is a simple way I can burn my iMovie with chapters onto a DVD?
My macbook pro did not come with iDVD so I dont have it.
Thanks.

MY source is HD i beleive. I shot videos with an iPad Mini.
I ventured into this because I offered this DVD to several team parents, so they are waiting for me to give them the DVD. While I was making it, I added subtitles, showing the game dates, game scores and stats of each player, so it came out really nice. However, not to concern about quality, i have burt the video in a dual layer dvd in SD. I dont have a blue ray burner nor media.
This made me want to do the same with my family vacations vieeos, whic now are a bunch of files in a hard drive, sort them by vacation and add titles like lications to actualy be abel to watch them on a dvd someday.
I have apple tv in the family room, but do not use to watch these videos, will look into that. However, I would still want to make the DVD's.
It seems odd how this, basic feature, has been dropped. I guess apple does not want us to use any more discs.
Still hoping I can do this, if not, I will have to gie away the DVDs with the 2 hour long video in a single chapter.

Can't install CS2 on laptop with Elements 11 already installed.

I'm taking a workshop that requires Photoshop. I use Elements 11 currently. I bought a new laptop and installed my Elements with no problem. When I went to install CS2 it says it can't find any files with CS5. My question is there a way to install CS2 without uninstalling my Elements 11? My computer lady says it's quit involved removing all parts of Photoshop from files. I went with an older version of Photoshop because I plan on only using the CS2 for this workshop and going back to Elements afterwards. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My new system is Windows 8.1

At least for Photoshop, CS (1) runs as does CS2 and CS 3 on my macs. I still have CS2 as Genuine Fractals doesn't work with CS3 without upgrading and I don't feel like paying for that so I run 2 to use it for scaling. Adobe was pretty clear on compatibility or not and you could have chosen not to install it based on their comments.
You can install OSX "backwards" with the original install disk for your machine or a retail install disk - it would have to be a clean install of course not an A&I or upgrade.
I retained Tiger with a clone backup on all three macs , apparently you did not think to make a backup first.
Why don't you just partition a smallish part of the drive to accommodate a basic Tiger installation and install CS2 on that and just boot into it when required? You can repartition non destructively now. That is probably the fastest and simplest way to run dual OS rather that reverting everything to Tiger. Or use an external FW disk and install Tiger to that and boot from it as needed. No different than Boot Camp, to use Windows when needed.

Can I use a Lenovo laptop with the time capsule for a router?

Can I use the Time capsule as a wireless router with a lenovo laptop as well as a Mac Book?

Yes.

Can WRT54G connect 2 XP laptops with different wireless cards, i.e. b and g,?

My WRT54G router works fine with a lenovo windows laptop (Intel wireless 3945ABG card) and my dell linux box but it is not accepting my old T40 laptop which has a dual-band wireless a/b card.   The WRT54G box indicates this router accepts both b and g wireless cards.
Question is can this router simultaneously hookup these 2 laptops  or do I have to resetup the router in order for it to work on the T40?
as it is now, the wireless network shows on my T40 and it appears to 'take' the access key i input but then the T40 just 'hangs' trying to get into that network.   I have set the encryption key on the router to WPA. and i want to keep this.

Make sure the computer that can't connect has DHCP enabled, Update the computer wireless card drivers, Check that the security you entered is correct.
GoodLuck
Matt
