RIDCAM-00143727-XP.EXE works on vista

The Microsoft website will give details of how to upgrade and the costs involved, though buying the new operating system on hardware and performing a drive format and a clean new load could make more sense. A computer that previously ran Vista will probably be a few years old and therefore have a low specification so you could be disappointed with the performance when running Windows 10. I have a very old pc originally running Windows 95 that copes well with XP without perceptible loss of functionality for modest purposes, which makes no sense at all. On the other hand a relatively high-spec laptop I own needs a fair amount of patience running Windows 7. You have to try these things but the results aren't assured and it is a bit like making a wager with your cash. Might be more economic to buy an up to date machine.

You'll need to register/create a Windows Live user account so think up a simple username and password such as virtuaplayer@hotmailcom and 12345678 for the password.

First of all, how old is your display? Second, how did that happen in the first place? Finally, was your display recalled because of inherent video artifacts like the one you're describing? You should check with your OEM before making any queries on sites like this.

Hi Irene - There are many ways to send photos and so I am assuming you are sending them by email. If this is not correct, please provide more info. Within your email program send a new message. In the new message, click on Attach File or Insert Picture. Which ever you choose, it will open a box that will allow you to locate your photo files on your laptop. Select the ones you want and they will be added to the email. They will also remain intact on your laptop. Hope this helps. Thanks.

have you tried changing the hard drive

http://s02.download.sony.com/US/pc/SOAOTH-51700000-0042.EXE

Look for a setting along the lines of control panel -> display -> find the word "gamma" in there somewhere and turn all the way up

maybe $50

look by your clock and you see and speaker symbol cick on it and then click on mixer!!!!

Looks like the problem is not the speaker is the microphone. You need to go to Control Panel then Sound and click on Recording tab.You need to be able to see the Microphone setup, you need to configured it. Good luck!

You must have dropped water on your laptop. You will need to replace the keyboard with a new one. Check on Ebay for a replacement keyboard their prices are cheaper.You can also just buy a portable bluetooth keyboard instead of replacement keyboard.
