Ability to re-use genuine Microsoft Software

I bought a laptop Acer in France four years ago. Recently I fixed it but him reinstalled Windows XP was not authentic. I still have the label with the old home edition of Windows XP product key on my computer. My question is if I am allowed and how to reuse this operating system. The current version is learning to be blocked by Microsoft.

You can reinstall using the recovery disks from your manufacturer - contact with them to see if they stock.
 

You can reinstall your system using a disk of Windows XP Home Edition OEM System Builder and your COA key.

 
If you can find a disc XP Home SP3 of any type (or a wake) you can install that using the default key (do not enter a product key when asked), proceed with the installation, and then use the product key update tool to change the key for that which concerns your COA sticker.  http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/PKUInstructions.aspx

    "Ask genuine Microsoft software.

    why its like that? How to fix?

    Thank you.

    Elran.

    It's because you have an OEM product key and this site is for retail product keys.

    You must contact the manufacturer (the manufacturer of the computer) for a recovery/installation media defined for your computer which they sold you as a whole unit (included OS.)

  • genuine Microsoft software?

    Hi all!

    I have a big problem with the validation of Windows XP Professional. I bought IBM x 24 with Windows preinstalled in 2003. Some time later, asked me to pass the online validation process. I did and it turned out that my copy of Windows is not genuine. Since then, I have the black screen. But I don't understand how it can be. COA on the machine seems authentic, and it came with the IBM software pre-installed. The company who sold me computer does not exist anymore. A few thoughts:

    As much as I know in Windows activation prosess the 25-character security code is associated with the material. In this case it is more possible to reinstall the same copy of Windows on another computer. The only thing I do not know: when you buy a brand new PC if you needed to activate Windows yourself or it is already activated? If it is already activated on all computers before they left factory then how it is possible that my copy of Windows is not genuine? I wonder what the company (computer, or their employees store) should remove true counterfeid of Windows and install? They cannot use my product key on another computer in any case. My computer was brand new but already out of the box when I bought it.

    Microsoft offers the Windows product key update tool. It will help in this case?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Unfortunately, your product key for this installation of Windows XP Professional is one who has never issued by MS - it was created by KeyGen program a computer hacker.
     
    You IBM ThinkPad seems to have had a non-genuine, reinstalled XP version probably by a techie misplaced or lazy.
    The machine is very old, it is likely that the Lenovo (IBM took over the brand) will have remaining recovery disks available for resettlement.
    For which version and edition of Windows is the laptop under license, according to the COA sticker on the case?
    If it is XP Professional, you can be lucky and be able to use the tool to update key product to correct the problem - but if not, you will need to find an appropriate disk and do a full reinstall of that after saving your data to external media.

    My antivirus software informed me that I have a locked/hidden registry entry, which is not common. What microsoft software is this registry entry with that dbgagd used? I use vista 32 bit. My computer works without any problem, but I'll try to find the reason to make him not: -.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DbgagD\1

    "I ask this as I was told that its an important file or an entry of key infection may not even be reviewed or edited, when I click on '1' folder in the registry I get immediately ' an error prevents this key in the opening: the system cannot find the file specified." The registry would be corrupted? I need to know what this key is for as this is the only file which is detected in avira as requiring special attention, as its hidden without a valid reason. It is perhaps more technical that most general users are used to, but I thought I'd ask about it here, if any staff of Ms actually uses this site, and is not just for users. My antivirus software and firewalls have not detected anything other suspect outside this hidden file. I can't ignore it, and I do not want to reinstall, because it can easily happen again. Kaspersky tdsskiller with its default settings does not detect anything problematic. Detection of GMER rootkit (and microsofts own F8 at startup to repair vista) both give me a blue screen, with "lack of kxdlipoc.sys" > page in the box of nonpages "' on the errorlog for Gmer. The error with microsoft vista F8 repair is too fast to read however on the blue screen, even if I set automatic restart flaws in the vista start menu. The blue screen for F8 does not show in the newspaper.

  • How Microsoft software to work the way we want it to work

    Did a search in Google and got on a Microsoft Windows website. went and sign. Then how a know what is happening? You can go completely out and redo your search. Why this question? All my info I can sign in(name/password). After awhile I started to notice some special functions: 1. when I connect, did not find my name-has not found anything I have access to, but the point is also why I'd go to a site Web having the ability to connect but not having don't not have access to my own identity. 2. I had a work of good thought. For the longest now, have been trying to figure out how to copy or cut a file. All this time - whenever I do anything with this stuff gets copied back into the original location whence it. When all of a sudden you have nine files the same-being given that Microsoft put something in their program which is not intended to make you more productive when everything do you is try to figure out what to a a few hours later, I'm steemed! So I found the veto MB or copy buttons on my own witho8ut any help from anyone associated with Microsoft. So, good, good to go! Right? Not really. When you go to my computer - when I move any thing-am, still getting my files copied to my original location after their displacement. 3. someone wrote me to tell me I mustn't know ctrl/select and I do! so do not know what what they means, perhaps a little to the left or right and everything I chose going to copy my files. Am really trying to figure this out - what other functions use control and select? The point is really, what would be the purpose to make this software act like this. Someone gives a dog away and this is the reason why Microsoft software is not so good any more. Am I to get a decoder ring some part-ahhh-those who tried to get their hands on an emblem that burned his hand-does Microsoft image have the Lost Ark or something? I will be the sum is the square with a question, Microsoft is going to ever make the high quality software that works, or we will continue to see peddle them * masquerading as quality software?

    I am a Norwegian really sad Panda.

    my very annoying problem is that I have some time after the release of windows 7 normally lost the toshiba bluetooth stack and the user interface for it and just used start anymoore...

    First there is when I bought the machine mount: a qosmio x 870 everything worked perfectly with the stack of toshiba drivers toshiba bluetooth and the user interface of software toshiba...

    I've only used a mouse Razer Orochi bluetooth mouse and it worked flawlessly. However, I went and bought a Bluetooth Rapoo h6020 headset and it worked also very pleasantly with the mouse, even at the same time to my surprise, at that time I was a happy Panda...

    But after a few days, I discovered the mouse wasn't autoconnecting and his picture was generic in the menu devices and printers...
    I never thought much of the change to the wrong microsoft bluetooth settings...

    But I also haven't had no driver for the headset of all installed more... and the compatible device HID mousedrivers thingy is annoyingly insensitive and rubberbands the mouspointer and is far from being good and I really isn't happy with cables in 2012...

    I tried to reinstall the new stack for windows toshiba bluetooth and new drivers proset to 2230 n and tried to uninstall the toshiba vap and bt filter thingyes and registry cleaned and reinstalled in the filters-toshiba bluetooth stack order Floreal-realtek atheros vap with several reboots inbetween and so on.

    To make a long story shorter I did all the stuff around the net people have tried and succeeded with... but only to get me more distressed...

    I HAV so far is 3 total recoverys system and each time I have the same result, that my bluetooth (centrino n2230) device is recognized as a generic device and microsoft drivers is installed automatically.

    I once once dussin unable with installing the newest toshiba bluetooth stack and ultimately made it the last 2 times I picked up the system only to discover that even if I get rid of the microsoft drivers not are still able to have the toshiba drivers, as they do not recognize the device...

    The original Toshiba Bluetooth Manager starts normally but its icon is red and rightclick the only choice to start the machine, * which is already started and running with microsoft software * at the same time, which is useless to me because it is only usable for the most basic usage...

    I would really like to have the solution to get the toshiba drivers and software again by default and do not have an another full recovery of the system, its really annoying and I have so much other software I need each day for work and private use.

    But if you can come up with a solution that works I would no allmost... even buy 3 third-party software if it can solve its problem with microsofts drivers that automaticly returned if I uninstall the...

    That happen to me... I really love my PC...

    > I once once dussin unable with installing the newest toshiba bluetooth stack and ultimately made it the last 2 times I picked up the system only to discover that even if I get rid of the microsoft drivers not are still able to have the toshiba drivers, as they do not recognize the device...

    I have carefully read your message and I m confused
    You said that you got the system several times and set to factory settings.
    From my point of view that the Bluetooth must be preinstalled by the factory settings and in this case, no additional installation is required
    I m wondering if you have enabled the Bluetooth using the Fn + F12 keys?

    For the Toshiba notebooks the FN + F8 combination has enabled the WiFi and BT but X 870 Fn + F12 is the right combination

    Then, activate Bluetooth would force other BT shares finished with BT work permit

    What "support page" which can be? The right place for problems with registration for WLMessenger is the Windows Live Solution Center. When you post your question there, give as much detail as you can - program version, operating system and the full text of the error message.

    If you suspect that QQ International intervenes, have you tried to uninstall again to see if you can connect to WLMessenger after a reboot?
