It is not supposed to activate Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and so on.
This is the product key for Windows, and it won't, because it's
the wrong key for Microsoft Office.

  • Product key on the laptop does not work

    I have a windows product key 7 on my laptop, but it won't work to reinstall windows 7 on my pc.  Recently my windows startup files I screwed up and I couldn't boot into windows more.  How can I use the product key at the bottom of my laptop to re-install windows7?

    The disk or reinstall media you used to install Windows 7, it matches the product key? Or have you just used a disk for a different edition? Is the key product for Windows 7 Starter, basic family, Home Premium, professional or ultimate edition?

    How did you start the reinstallation?

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • I have an old laptop Armada M700! I've implemented a power on password and it does not work! Is there a way to reset the password? Even the laptop will not power

    laptop worked very well slow, but very well so I tried a bit of security, so I put the power on password good this morning when I try to activate the password does not work!

    Hello

    I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer for help on this issue.

  • Had to go to the WPA to get connection Nook. Now the laptop will not connect.

    Newly acquired Nook Color would not recognize connection WEP. So I spent the Bureau for the WPA. Now laptop said little or no connectivity. Can the corners as well and portable live in this environment? If so, how?

    It's a good thing.  WEP is near useless for what is security is these days.

    Connect to a router, or using ad hoc wireless to share the Internet connection belonging to the office?

    Most wireless routers require that all devices use the same encryption level.  Some newer routers can allow a mixture of WPA and WPA2, but as far as I know, none allow the WEP and WPA at the same time.  If you use a wireless adapter in the Office for an ad hoc wireless network, I'm sure that without these adapters allow the WEP and WPA.

    Change your laptop in WPA too.

    You may need to remove the connection recorded first in order to make this change. Assuming you use Windows to configure the adapter to the laptop wireless (and more far assuming that the laptop is running XP sp2 or greater), the procedure is as follows:

    • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    • Right click on the wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    • Click the "Wireless Networks" tab
    • Select your network wireless from the list of "Preferred networks", then click on the button Delete
    • OK your way out

    Now find your wireless network in the list of available wireless networks, click connection and enter the WPA password when you are prompted.

  • Windows stops but the laptop will not turn off or to sleep.

    Hello

    I have Hp Pavilion dv6-6120us and recently I noticed that windows 7 is off but my computer stays, the hard drive fan and lighting too, if I put my computer to sleep it won't wake up I have to hold the power button / 10 seconds, and then restart the computer. I uninstalled all the programs that are not needed and also uninstalled my virus protection, I have run the disk cleaner, fix the registry and ran a virus check and malware and no problem, I also ran a check air that comes with my Hp system and found no problem. I already turned off all controllers usb, video card, sound card, network card and still no luck, also on the safe mode, the custom of the computer turns off. I also ran msconfig and disabled all the startup programs, services, and still no luck. I uninstalled all updates of windows too and still have the same problem, any help, I'll take thank you.

    Hi Yemel,

    This question could be either software or hardware partners. Start safe mode and check if you can close properly.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. Mode safe mode appears in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not persist in Mode safe then the problem may be due to a third-party program/application. To determine which program or application is causing the problem, try to place the computer in a clean boot state, and check.

    Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • The module will not activate with restart of Firefox. Vertical toolbar 1.0.9.1

    I first tried vertical toolbar that is displayed in the search list. It helped, but the developer said this was not necessary more and me directed by a link. He had an add-on Mozilla on which I clicked. He says that you need to restart after a restart, he continues to say it will allow after a reboot. I've even updated Firefox to a new version. I'm stuck. Other add we cannot be activated until I can get rid of it. Just to be clear, there are NO BUTTONS to remove or disable links to say restart to activate and cancel. Undo does NOTHING. Restart to activate does NOTHING. May be associated with this is the fact that my Addon installed previously spacious toolbar has stopped working that's why I tried to install them instead. Help would be appreciated.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button at the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.

    If this did not help, then also delete the files addons.json and addons.sqlite possible.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • K010 ENVY: my laptop will not turn off

    Hello

    When I shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume my laptop, it will die completely.

    All programs will be closed (when stop or restart) and I think that OS will also close. But the laptop will not turn off. Power LIGHT and fan will stay on.

    And when I try to Hibernate, everything is ok, but I have the same problem.

    Whenever I have to turn it off by holding the power button, otherwise the battery will be discharged.

    After manual turn off, when I turn it on again, everything works correctly:

    -If hibernation: OS will continue to last situation.

    -If start/stop: OS works normally without error or warning.

    After sleep, OS works from the beginning. Because the data stored in RAM and will be deleted after power off.

    Perhaps a portable automatic perevent equipment turned off. All the drivers are up to date.

    Is there a parameter/software to check and fix my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

  • XP Pro SP3 programs fax everything works except will not activate the modem.

    All the routines of fax machine worked correctly in the past, BUT without warning (which was checked and working properly) the modem is more will not activate when the fax software is responsible for sending the message.  I was not able to find hardware problems and even after removing and reinstalling the MS fax routines the modem will not activate.  Would appreciate any ideas about the solution.  Thank you.

    It is probably not the modem firmware, although it could be that the modem driver is corrupted.  In both cases, however, a visit to the site of the manufacturer of the modem is in order.

    Exactly how did you determine that the modem is working properly?
    Have you looked in the Device Manager?
    Have you used the 'button interrogate modem' tab of the property sheet for the modem ' Diagnostic'?
    Have you tested a data connection using HyperTerminal?  If you do not know the phone number of a "Bulletin Board" (apparently some of these still exist) or the IP address of a server telnet, just to open HyperTerminal and see if you can dial any phone other than the line number to which your modem is connected.

    Thank you for your understanding, PML.  I had used all of the tools you mentioned EXCEPT try another modem program!  HyperTerminal doesn't activate the modem, the feature has been confirmed.  I also had a problem with the new creation of file and folder (program installs, etc) setting not permissions to a level of total control of my identifying specifically used (Admin level) which, of course, can cause certain issused orders either by keyboard or input to fail (often with no indication of the cause of failure) program.  Realizing that this situation might be involved with the problem of the fax modem that I started to study the folders and files that are used by the routines of MS Fax.  A lot of the files/folders did not the permissions defined by giving total control of my ID so I adjusted the.  The modem is now triggered by the routine of fax!  Thanks for making me think a bit out of the box (at least my usual box) and providing the index (another modem using program to test the feature running) problems.

    Now if I can only figure out why (or what has changed in my system) which causes the folder/file creation process in Blons class "Admin" from my user and privileges not setting high enough!  GG
