Activation of Windows XP after you edit the file system drive

I am upgrading the disk on Lenovo laptop (Win XP Prof) file - I current code product key (and old hard drive as backup).  I don't have an installation with laptop disc, so I used a Dell OEM disc to load the base OS.  I'm not able to activate Win XP, even using the activation of the phone - it does not work.  Is there a support # I can call or y at - it another way to activate the license key?

Hi BillCra!

I see that you have installed Windows XP by using a copy of Dell's OEM and it will not activate.

Copies OEM Dell didn't actually need activation, unless it has detected that the material is not a Dell hardware. Each copy of the OEM OS CD is tagged to a specific motherboard, which means that the CD of the OS provided by Dell will only activate with a signing Dell MoBo.

If the manufacturer of your computer, Lenovo, has not provided an OS CD then, you must ask to send you this CD.

See you soon ~!

  • Problems with sound after you install the operating system

    I have a compaq presario that originally vista os, the system crashed and I could get the recovery work so I installed windows xp and now I'm having problems with the sound. What should I do? I tried to locate the drivers requarding info. I keep getting error messages indicating that I have no audio device. Is it possible to go back to vista? I don't have an instillation cd or recovery for vista cd. Any help would be great.

    Hello

    Go to the link drivers HP > search your computer number model > XP OS > download and install the audio drivers.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    If no audio driver XP is available, HP provides them.

    Through the installation of XP, you have destroyed the provided HP recovery Partition Vista to reinstall Vista:

    Solve a common problem of recovery with the HP Compaq computers.
    If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be started from either the desktop or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.
     
    Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks.
    Normally, they do this for a small fee.
     

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  • Propeller: Graphics distorted in Windows applications after you install the latest version of the graphics driver (3643)

    After downloading and installing the latest graphics driver for lenovo support pages (10.18.10.3643) I noticed that some graphics in Windows applications are distorted. Generally, it looks like a refresh or memory problem. If you start the application that everything is OK and after using it awhile (or switch to another app and back)

    For example, Onenote radial menu looks like this:

    Where is should look like this:

    Over time, it could get worse, as the entire application has problems how to freshen up, or this menu does not lose only icons, but also the colors, etc..

    I tried to reduce the demand for resources by disabled anti-aliassing, but it does not help.

    Normal windows applications do not have the problem and friendly resource (for example not chart orieted apps) takes more time to show the same behavior.

    It is 'just' a bug in the driver, or y at - it shape a setting I have to solve this problem?

  • BOOTMGR is missing after you mount the new hard drive

    I have an acer 6930g laptop using windows vista. My laptop crashed and left the hard drive corrupt / unreadable, so I set up a hard drive again.
    When I start it shows message BOOTMGR is missing.on restart alt f10 not work.i have the 2 dvd backup which I was invited to burn when I first bought computer I tried to load these, but the ability to load backup Hi drive light not so can not click on it. This option is the factory restore and it shows error impossible restoration - reason 0xd000000d. Click ok to restart the computer... and then I am back to BOOTMGR missing again.

    Hello

    If you created the backup restore disc complete by using Windows backup and restore, you try to perform the system restore. If you have not created backup disk using restore option, I suggest you to contact the computer manufacturer to restore Windows vista.

    Warning: When you use a Windows complete PC backup image to restore your computer, it is a complete restoration. You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten. You must regularly back up your files by using the back up files Wizard.

  • The files are missing after you download the file published to SCORM

    Hi all

    I don't know if this is a problem in Captivate 9 or SCORM. I have a few buttons to open the files. I changed the Flash security settings and added all the related files as trusted.

    When I saw in the browser, they worked. However, once I downloaded the published file (zip) to SCORM, the buttons do not work.

    I have a button to link to the specific URL, who works in SCORM. However, two buttons to link to the pdf and jpg files do not work in SCORM (but worked in the preview).

    Someone this problem? I would really appreciate if anyone can help with this problem.

    I use 9 Captivate and Mac.

    Your question can be connected with the way in which your LMS plays files. Try to download and test your SCORM, SCORM Cloud to see if it works from there.

    And another thing to check is that you have not only used the link to the file on your computer as the link.  You need to make sure that the files are loaded in the same folder as the SWF file output and set the link to them as being the file name only.  Then there should be a link that works for almost any server on the web, including most of the LMS.

  • Need help after you insert the CMS system

    Hi on my site ive inserted a system of Cushy CMS. It all work that is not the problem. The problem is that my page is a mess now... The only thing ive addes is a code cms so im hoping that the solution is not difficult to do.

    There are three pages what is changed full.

    The home page

    http://www.vakantiewoningeninsuriname.nl/index.html

    The text column to the right is less moved. How is it possible to place this back?

    on http://www.Dorff.nl/ you can see how it was before I add the CMS.

    The next page is:

    http://www.vakantiewoningeninsuriname.nl/bezienswaardighedenparamaribo.html

    You can see that there is much more space between the head and the text. And you see that the text is not only the anymmore on the right side.

    This is how it should be:

    http://www.Dorff.nl/bezienswaardighedenparamaribo.html

    It goes the same for this page:

    And that's how what it takes:

    Dear Jacqueline,

    Thank you for your reply,

    I'll try to explain again what is wrong. On my website, you see this page:

    Problem is the image below on the right side of the page instead of the left like the other pictures.

    On:

    http://www.Dorff.nl/Prijzen.html

    You can see what it should look like... Photos to the left and the text on the right. I don't know what happened when im adding the Cuschy CMS. Hope you can see what the problem is.

    You have the two last property on the wrapped page entries in the

    "one_half_last" when that
    must encapsulate the entry of details of each property individually. That is why the last image is more to the right.

    What I would do is remove the entries of two last property (images and text) on the page, copy the code from the entrance of the two property then paste it under twice, making your entries in four properties. Of course, you need to update images and details of the property as well.

    OR if you're good with the code alters entered two details latest properties are isloated in their own "one_half_last".

  • Cannot connect online after you change the settings system locale

    Hello

    Right now I have my locale Japanese system, it was originally English (United States). I can connect to the internet just fine until I have change the local back to English. Once I've got change for English I can't seem to connect online. I tried all the steps to fix the internet connection, but nothing helped.  However, if I set the locale Japanese system once again, my connection works fine as if there was nothing wrong with it in the first place.

    I must be able to connect with the English locale, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very happy.

    Hello

    If connection involved any kind of ID / password etc you have to type in (or it is saved in the cache/shape) you will have to redo, or clear the cache.
