How to fix this?

I dont have time to do a fresh installation of Windows. and i dont want to buy a Win 7 license...:hmm: I cannot afford it tbh.
 
if your computer has a product key sticker with 25 characters, you can activate with that, or there are other ways,
also, did you install from a corporate disc or an oem?
are you online now?

^ My computer doesn't have the product key sticker, i bought it with ubuntu pre installed on it. :) and my mainstream OS is ubuntu, but i use windows to play games and run some software which could not be run on linux platform.

I installed it from a volume license disk. en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-73974

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):

Ukhti muslima haya:

This might be difficult to guide you through the process of finding out your keyboard model.

Only because we don't know what operation system you are using to provide a step by step
view of your devices. You have to keep in mind that you have very knowledgeable forum
members. But translating that knowledge into providing technical support which is a
process gets lost in translation.

Go to the start on your task bar, locate control panel, locate hardware, view devices
installed, locate keyboard.

Yeah do this:

go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > expand Keyboards > Double click the keyboard listed and click update driver.

Or for a quicker way.

Click Start > in the search box type devmgmt.msc
 
Asalamu Alaykum all,

I am trying open microsoft powerpoint but every time i try do that it gives me the list of docs saved on there already and even when i click on one of them i get the slides show and when i press 'end show' the whole powerpoint thing disappears. My microsoft word works and I have noticed when i go to start, I can see a small little blue box on the right hand side of the powerpoint symbol.... I have taken a screen shot of that but dont know how to copy to the thread...

Does anyone know why I cant open the powerpoint?

Jazzakallah khair
 
Assalam Alykom

I dunno if this can be posted here in this thread, but did anyone here use two operating systems at the same PC? Did that slow down your system performance?
I would like to have a Linux based OS like Ubuntu or Fedora installed along with windows 7 that I already have now.
I have i5, 2.30 GHz. RAM is 4 GB.....will that be okay with 2 OSs?

Any good links for the steps to do that will be appreciated. I wanna have tried steps, I'm so busy to go around from site to site to find good, clear steps.


Jazakum Allah khair in advance.

:wa:

Maybe the file that you have is a powerpoint slideshow file. To open that, first open a blank MS Powerpoint document by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Powerpoint. Once a blank presentation is opened, click on File -> Open and browse to your saved slideshow file. Then you can save this file as a .ppt file.

To post a screenshot, save the image and upload it on any image hosting site such as imageshack.us and paste the link here in this format:

Wa'alaykum Salaam.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP on my computer. My Hard disk layout is totally different from what your might be. I have installed windows XP on an 80 GB hard disk and Ubuntu 10.10 on a 1 TB hard disk.

You should always install windows first in you are trying to use GRUB as default bootloader.

anyways coming to installation of Ubuntu on your computer, download the Ubuntu iso image and write that to a CD.
Open your computer and insert the CD and the CD will prompt you to run the Wubi (windows installer for linux)
Follow the instructions, allot some space for the Linux partition and install it on that allotted space.
Configure the bootloader and you will have ubuntu entry in the boot options.

P.S. Considered you as an advanced user.
