right click on it and get into properties, see if you have a security tab available and if so check the permissions and see if your account has the right to edit.

Right Click doesn't work. And cpu usage goes up to 100%.

A bit of searching has revealed that it's related to this. I will try to use some of the solutions within.

Seems to be an FL Studio-centric error. :/

[Tellemurius]

do you have FL Studio?

How do you mean Right-Click doesn't work?  You don't get any type of menu at all?  ...And have you got 'view hidden files and folders' enabled?

I neglected to mention it, but yeah, I do.

When I try right-clicking something, nothing happens. Also, when I try to delete the file, it just gets stuck on "preparing to calculate..." with no progress whatsoever.

Have you tried installing FL Studio to reestablish the registry changes?

So I moved a hard drive from a Dell laptop, to a Gateway/Acer laptop.


Of course, all the hard ware is different, so I need to reset/restore/whatever my hard drive.


I just don't know how, or what disks I'll need, if any. :c

[Tellemurius]

I would just format the hard drive and install a new is, use the same cd key and just do a phone activation.

[Descan]

I have no idea how to do any of that.

[Tellemurius]

Umm well find a ISO of the OS and burn onto a disk like here's a site for windows 7 http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
The windows 7 installer will give you the option to format your hard drive.

[Descan]

Okay.

Windows 7 was installed on the laptop as it came.

How do I find out what the product key is, and how do I make sure it works?

[Alastar]

You should have a sticker with the product key.
It may be on the computer, usually the back. If you have a physical install medium, it may be on the case.

Use the key of the computer you plugged the hard drive into, not the one the hard drive came from. Preinstalled Windows licenses are usually specific to the machine they came on (defined by the mainboard, with some additional restrictions).

[Descan]

I'm pretty sure that rubbed off long ago. :/

[Tellemurius]

Try the other one then, like I said use the ISOs I provide and use one of the keys, then do phone activation, the phone system doesn't really know much to distinguish.

[Descan]

Who do I call, Dell, Gateway/Acer, or Microsoft?
