2 years without problems now windows says its not valid
I hope that someone will be able to answer this one. I bought my dell computer with windows vista on it in June of ' 07. About 3 days ago he did an automatic update of windows and now it says that is not validated. It's never happened before. Now I can't go in the control panel to change anything, the window will not just open. It is as I have more administrative rights on my computer when I have the only account on it. Tried to do validation on www.microsoft.com/genuine . Installed the files which it said you and it will still not validated. If no one can help me with this it would be great.
Thank you
Matt

Unable to reinstall my XP Pro original cd, windows says its not legitimate.
Due to a bad virus, I had to reinstall my Windows XP Pro and now I can't activated because it says that its not legitimate. I've had this since XP came out and had an XP update cd that has been stollen from me but I still have the original xp cd. Support is not available for this moment and I don't want to spend the money to upgrade to 7 or buy a new computer. My husband uses it just to check his sometimes (rarely) to yahoo mail and research. It has not even service pack 1 on it and I can not download because it says that it is not authentic, and I know very well that it is but I can't prove it because the recipes are long gone. Someone at - it suggestions? Please? It is not just that they make it to where you can buy new softwear or a new computer. It still works very well. Thank you, everyone. I have another pc I use and also a laptop. It's my husband and he only of e-mail and will be submitted to a Web site when someone sends something to look at.

Activate Windows 7 manually:
1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 42. press enter on your keyboard
3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

I think I accidentally turned off Windows Defender by using Windows Defender. Now, Windows Defender does not start. How can I get this start?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off
Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.
And also read this:
If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.
Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Vista in Windows Defender.
See you soon.

Windows 7 says is not valid after recovering from an incident
I bought a laptop from bestbuy with windows 7 installed. It came with 4 recovery disks. The computer crashed. We installed the recovery disc but get the error saying windows 7 is not valid and enter the product code which I did not. BestBuy says they can't help me.
you need to be able to use the COA key on the bottom of your laptop or in your battery compartment. It is rare to need a key if you used recovery media OEM key is integrated and self must activate.
Post a report of MGA diagnosis so we can see what is the problem:To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once downloaded, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.
Please indicate the version and edition of windows from your COA. do not specify the product key.

Photoshop 4 and 7 upgrade, now Windows 10 does not accept PS 4. How to install my versions?
Hi Tuulah6441378,
Photoshop 4 and 7 are very old versions, downloads for them are no longer available and the operating system you are using is the most recent, so there will be compatibility problems.
Adobe has not tested these applications on newer operating systems.
Please see, historical version of Adobe Photoshop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Photoshop 4 and 7 upgrade, now Windows 10 does not accept PS 4. How can I manage my versions to download?
The download, it's what you do to get a file from a Web site to your computer... Installation is what you do to have the installation files to put a program on your computer and the link to your operating system... what you do... Download or install?
If you mean that Win10 will not allow you to INSTALL the program, read below
Cloud & Win10 https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/Windows_10_compatibility_FAQ.html
-In addition, only CURRENT products will be tested and updated for compatibility with Windows 10
- so if you have an older program, update you to Windows 10 at YOUR risk of problems
-You can get CS6 and previous programs to install and run, or you can not (some do, some don't)
-IF not, Details of the message from the error messages and a person may be able to help
An idea that MAY work to install or run some programs in Windows 10 old... works for some, not for others
- or run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign permissions... said FULL yet, but sometimes it is necessary for all Adobe programs (this is same as using an administrator account)

My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.
My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load. It gives me the option of last known good configuration and safe mode startup and normal startup, but it just goes back to the loading screen then flashes a blue error screen then back to display boot options. I don't have a recovery disc as the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive or a floppy drive. I have the product key, but I don't know where or how repair the operating system.
Contact the manufacturer of your laptop as there must be a way to restore the computer. There may be a hidden restore partition.
