I was able to download Win-10 pro to my hard drive as a ISO file. How can I convert this to a bootable DVD. I am presently running Win-7 SP1 on an older computer with the following specs. Can somebody tell me if my computer systems are adequate for a satisfactory Win-10 operation. According to...

Problem Solved !!! I am now able to go to a new link in IE and have it open in a new tab. Upgraded it to IE-11 and that also works Thank You Joesephur. Your list for re-registering the IE components obviously worked in spite of the error message. I presume from the discussion between you and...

Here is what I do In my User account with Admin privileges, I do the following. Start > All Programs > Accessories > Rt click Command Prompt > Select Run as Administrator > Click Yes in User Account Control. In the Administrator Command Prompt Black Screen - C:\Windows\System32> { Paste...

Followed your steps as listed above. Used my Admin user account to open the command prompt window - ran as an Administrator. Copied the entire list and pasted it. At the end of the last line I got an error immediately saying "Access denied"

I tried to reset the IE-10 from Tools> Internet Options> Advanced > Restore Advanced Settings. It made no difference. Still got a blank tab as before. Was what I did the correct way to reset the default settings? I am not that knowledgeable working with the command prompt. Can you please give me...

I am running Win-7 SP1 (pro) with IE-11. When I try to open a link by double clicking it, and holding the ctrl key to get the web to open in a new page. All I get is a blank tab. It opens in place of the old tab if i don't hold down the ctrl key. I have the same problem after I changed to a...

(kemical, Rich, Bluebearjedi & all you guys who helped me ) OK Guys Problem Solved !!! Here is a summary of the problem and the final thing that worked. It may help those who are having or will have this issue to read this summary rather than four pages of the trial and error efforts on this...

As I posted earlier my Win7-SP1 is installed successfully from a downloaded ISO file from MS. For some reason - which I don't understand - I was able to get over the hang ups by reducing the RAM from 4 GB to 2 GB and then restoring the memory back to 4GB after the OS was installed and running...

I don't see the banner that Rich mentioned about enabling Activex. When I open the Tools tab in IE I see that there is a selection for "Activex filter". After putting a check mark on it the result is unchanged. I just get a blue color full page with a world globe as an icon and no other window...

I went to the link Kemical pointed to and go down to the Update Catalog link and get the same blue color page with the earth globe as a logo and nothing else Its possible that I did not get the Activex working. Can you tell me how to add Activex to IE-11. Thanks

I went to the link you pointed to and go down to the Update Catalog link and get the same blue color page with the earth globe as a logo and nothing else

Kemical I am thoroughly confused. I opened the MS Update Catalog. It was a blank blue page with only the update logo and nothing else. I am using IE ver 11.0. and opened Active X and am running as an Administrator. How do I select the updates from this convenient roll up?

When I put this computer together years ago, The RAMs I used were twin Corsair 2X2048-6400. 800 MHz as called out in the ASUS P5N E-SLI mobo handbook. I didn't know enough to look deeper for matching them. My computer properties show a 4.0 GB RAM with 3.50 GB useable. Now that Win-7 SP1 is...

I finally got the SFC /scannow working with no errors, but I still.had the usual problem as before. i.e. halfway through the installation I would get a message that the update to SP1 failed. I went through the motions of trying to install Win-10 directly like Bigbearjed. But it would not let...

Thanks Kemical & Bigbearjedi. I took your suggestions and ran the Seatools. The detail sector by sector scan showed no bad sectors at all. I reformatted the HD and tried to install Win-7 SP1 32 bit DVD (received from MS) I got an error message. This happens after it goes through expanding...
