• When install Vista Home Premium computer hangs on the language selection screen. No visible cursor, the keyboard and the mouse does not.

  Hi, when I try to install vista that Home Premium 32 bits on the computer of my son, through the installation of loading files with the gray bar at the bottom, then goes to the screen language selection, at this stage, I can not select anything using the keyboard or the mouse. There is no cursor visible. Keyboard and mouse both work fine in the bios and on other machines. Have used other keyboards and mice on the machine in question, but that makes no difference. Tried another copy of vista, no difference. Tested on Windows 7 install and everything works fine!

  Very confused, thinking that it must be a driver problem, but how about him? Any help is appreciated!

  Hi Rickydg,

  Thanks for posting. Please contact ASUS and see if there is a BIOS update available for your system. Update the BIOS and then try to install again.

• Error - "the CD key you entered is invalid" when trying to install the Windows XP computer.

  Original title: Windows XP CD Key can expire?

  My old machine with Windows XP installed should be trashed. I want to install Windows XP on a netbook Eee. The Win XP CD is a CR - ROM with the retail CD. It was given by my former neighbor who worked at Microsoft and purchased at a reduced price.

  Trying to install Windows XP, I had pop-up window "you entered the CD key is not valid. I installed Windows XP Home edition using this CD key several times on my old machine, to clean the operating system after a certain period of malware infection. The CD key is certainly valid.

  So what's happening? The CD key can expire after a certain number of years? Note that what's happening during the initial installation - before the first logon. There is no internet connection. So it is not possible for the installation check if this CD key is used elsewhere.

  I tried several times. Whenever I got this error in the installation step "installation of Windows.

  The message itself is that I quoted above "the CD key you have entered is not valid.

  These are the typical reasons, you would get such a message:

  1. the user enters in the key not associated with the retail disk but another key, usually on top of the COST of the PC sticker.

  2. at least one of the characters has been entered incorrectly. This could be because of user error or a faulty keyboard.

  Just to be sure: you use a real retail CD? Or is it a generic OEM CD that was bought in a store?

  A way around this problem is to use an XP SP3 integrated in a installation CD. If your CD is SP2 or earlier, you can create one on the scale of SP3, using a process called "slipstreaming". Then everything just when it's time to enter your product key, don't! Then you will see this window:

  http://ethertubes.com/wp-content/uploads/WinXPSP3-2.PNG

  You will have 30 days to activate (and enter the product key). This page should help:

• Computer hangs after installing windows updates...

  computer hangs after the installation of update.  Full system restore and the computer worked fine for a week. Has started having problems still... verified and automatic updates for windows have been downloaded and installed today. Confused about where to go from here. Help, please. Thank you!

  To be clear, the issue is not appeared since the updates have been installed one at a time, correct?

  KB2447568 is A compatibility view list update is available for Windows Internet Explorer 8:23 November 2010
  The KB updates a file in Internet Explorer.
  There is a small chance that Trend Micro has a conflict with the update. If this is the issue, then there would be more posts on this topic.
  This looks like a temporary glitch occurred.

  The only suggestion I would make is that when there are a bunch of updates, as there was in December, then it would be better to install the most complex by themselves.
  This would mean that changing setting Windows updates for "download updates for me, but let me choose whether to install them.
  For example, the cumulative update for Internet Explorer, KB2416400, would be installed last, and by himself.

  And, since you pick a time to install updates that have been previously downloaded, then you can install them in groups of 4 and If it is another problem caused by them or their installation, you will be able to refine specific update was the cause.

• Windows 8 came pre-installed on a hp tower built, am now upgrading my computer, how can I keep windows?

  Windows 8 came pre-installed on a hp Tower pre-built, am now upgrading my computer (new Mobo, Cpu, Gpu, cases, etc.) and guard my drive hard, how can I keep windows? or I have to buy a new product key?

  Hello

   
  Please contact Microsoft Community.
   
  The problem description, I understand that you want to upgrade the hardware and need to confirm how can you keep your operating system.
   
  In this case, I want to tell you that you want to keep your drive hard if you do not have to reinstall the operating system and that you upgrade the motherboard too and in the OEM version product key is integrated motherboard, so in this case, you may need contact system manufacturing to re activate your product key.
   
  For reference, please see:

• I installed a windows 95/98 CD-ROM on my computer. And all the colors now gone kind of negative.

The first time I tried it failed and said some settings needed to be changed so that it can be downloaded so I just clicked that it was OK.

• Computer crashes every time I try to install a windows recommended an update, (KB972813) language packs

  Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit version. I have already installed all the updates without problem, but when I try to install one of the recommended update language packs my computer hangs during the update "facility" progress bar gets about 90% full. I never get an error screen, the computer just hangs, even the mouse becomes unresponsive. I waited for hours in the hope, it was just temporary, but I ended up having to reset the computer. He told me he could not update and restores the changes when it starts. This happens whenever I try to install a language pack.

  Hello

  I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1:

  a. click on Start

  b. open the Control Panel from the menu display by (up/right) select one of the views of the icon .

  c. click Troubleshooting. On the bottom of the screen, under system and security , select fix problems with the Windows Update troubleshooting tool . Follow the instructions.

  You can also check the information in the following article.

  Problems with installing updates
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/troubleshoot-problems-with-installing-updates

  Step 2:

  If that does not solve the problem, start your computer in a clean boot State and install the update to KB972813 . There could be a software program of third party in conflict with the update. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.

  Note: Follow step 7 to restart your computer after you install the update in a clean boot state as usual.

  Andy1502_a,
  If you haven't tried the "last known good configuration" among the Advanced startup options then do that first.  If this does not help, you must run the System File Checker to search for possible system problems.  Then, you must run the upgrade from the system tool and then see if you are able to run the SP2 update.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• I bought a DVD of windows 7 and installed in a desktop computer. Unfortunately my Activation of Windows to a new computer

  If your copy of Windows is an OEM (delivered in a cardboard cover, as a single disc) then no. - the license was related to the motherboard of a fist on which it was installed.

  If it's a complete detail of the product (fancy box, two discs), then Yes, you can install it in the new - activate by phone.
