Activation XP after change of motherboard.

I've just updated my motherboard on my desktop and windows xp home edition now wants to be validated, but it says that it cannot do it online so I called the phone number. I gave him my installation ID, but it says its not valid. I have the certificate of authenticity right in front of my property.

It's nothing to do with Dell, unless they replaced the motherboard.

They work in the conditions that produce the statement I quoted above - which is the result of conditions in whaich they purchse licenses of Windows from MS, and under which purchase you these licenses from Dell.

In order to change the motherboards with impunity, you must have a license for Windows retail - even a Volume license is not valid in these circumstances.

  • Computer sees no floppy and CD Rom/DVD player after change of motherboard of PC w / Windows XP SP3

    After changing the motherboard on my PC, a Dell Optiplex gx270s Windows XP SP3, the computer (which also works fine) does not see the CD/DVD or floppy drives CD, DVD or floppy is inserted. (He sees not thumb drives). When I look under the hardware in the system, the floppy drive and the Cd-Rom are marked as +. All appropriate updates had been installed. These discs worked fine before the motherboard was changed. (It was done because the capacitors were bulging.)

    What could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Please explain simply, that I'm not a computer expert.

    Thanks for your response

    I solved this problem in BIOS Advanced\SATA config\SB SATA config.  as follows

    SATA port 1-4 = AHCI initially

    SATA port 1-4 = new IDE

    SATA port 5-6 = IDE these ports used with DVD, a comic book should be like ports 1-4

    This because I've done a typical mistake of mine.   I did not save the configuration with the entry of FDI

  • Wireless connection fails on G10 after changing the motherboard

    I had a few problems with my wireless for quite awhile. Basically, whenever I turn on my pc my internet connection fails. I always do an RSP on my wireless connection. Finally, it works. This problem started when a technician has changed my motherboard to another question. Since then, it has changed my wireless card. The problem remains tho. Is there a patch for this?

    Hello

    Is your wireless network, Intel 2200BG If yes try to download the software for this www.intel.com. It is if you have a connection. Another thing to try is to go to the properties of the wireless card and make sure that the power supply is set to high and the output amplifier is set to enabled.

    It could be a mix up with the router by which DHCP not allocate an IP address that is inappropriate. You can go into the router through the admin option and disable this feature. However, you will need to return the laptop an IP address. Click on network connections and click with the right button on the wireless connection properties. You should see the list Internet TCP/Ip Protocol. Double click and assign the IP address manually. You must also enter the other info that can by typing ipconfig in the folder c: / prompt.

  • LR6 does not not at the opening after change of motherboard.

    Hello

    I changed the motherboard, it's a Gigabyte H97M-D3H with an Intel i7 processor 5th gen.  I'm under Win10.  When I open LR, it shows the homepage but freezes and says: "no answer" when you try to click on any menu item.  I have the standalone version of LR6, don't know if it's the last update.

    Thanks for any help,

    Shawn

    All firstly, establish the exact version of Lightroom you have:

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom.

    Find the lightroom.exefile, right-click and choose Properties.

    If the version number is nothing less than 6.6.1 go to the maintenance of Lightroom and download and install the 6.6.1 update.

    If LR still does not work, and you have successfully updated the graphics driver, try to disable the GPU in LR preferences.

    Since you can't access the menus in LR, you will have to do it manually:

    Make sure that Lightroom is not running.

    [With Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\[your username] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences

    Open the Lightroom 6 Preferences.agprefs file in a text editor such as Notepad.

    Close to the end of the file there is a line that says useAutoBahn = true, - change that to useAutoBahn = false,

    Save and close the file. Now, try to start Lightroom.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse works, extremely, annoyingly slow after change of motherboard out sometimes.

    I have problems with my motherboards.  I installed originally a jury of six core AMD Asus but discovered that the sound circuit on the Board picked up the RF of six hearts.  So I changed it to a Biostar TA890FXE an AM3 Board with 4 PCIE slots.

    This map may contain 4 Pcie, but has only 2 16 x slots that are white in color for Crossfire.  The other 2 Pcie are for the slower cards.  I have my card installed in slot 1 PCIe 16 x

    Since I was a boxed version of Vista Ultimate 64 bit the replacement of the Board of Directors has gone well with without a hitch, except for this problem.  The darn wireless mouse keeps presenting a significant delay from time to time.

    I upgraded to the latest BIOS and also found that a USB Joystick was also causing problems until I uninstalled the ATI Radeon drivers several times.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled all drivers USB again and again.   I even upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB of ram Corsair and the thing does not run any faster (except for loading video in an editor) than my Asus M4785M with 4 GB ram.

    At first, I figured the card Radeon 4650 diamond with 1 GB of ram, when I ran FSX I got frequent black screens between refreshes.   When the aircraft was in its window the mouse lag so I moved it into the box with the graphics.  I could move it very quickly from time to time but not always.  As soon as the mouse has crossed the border of the FSX menu in the aircraft selection menu, the LAG would begin.

    Strange however, I also have the Microsoft Bluetooth Entertainment 7000 keyboard and it has a built-in mouse pad.  So when I got the offset of the wireless mouse I found that the mouse pad, keyboard do not show it.  Of course, a lot of batteries have been tried.  I have also a key 3G modem and the thought that maybe the RF frequencies could interfere with the bluetooth transmitter, and yet the mouse KEYBOARD pad worked fine all the time!

    At a point of the USB ports on the front of my PC failed suddenly and I used the port in the back instead, as the 3 g modem suddenly was cut.  He started upward once again connected to the rear port, but he chose all of a sudden another 3G network, spend roaming, something that isn't supposed to

    occur.

    So it seems to be a USB problem.  I double checked the connectors on the front panel plugged into the motherboard header, but it was close.  I removed it and he exchanged with a rear slot spare USB cable I have no problems. I even swapped the transmitter Bluetooth of the rear USB ports in the front and vice versa, and these problems went away.

    Yet from time to time, there will be a sound of loading the disk heads and there will be a lag on the mouse and it flit on the screen itself.  I removed all the USB drivers and mouse drivers and drivers of keyboard without result, I then plugged a wired keyboard and mouse while the USB was plugged in and waited.  The wired keyboard had built in the trackball, so I couldn't move around as fast as Bluetooth, one mouse cursor and again, I got the mouse slows down from time to time.   Most of the time is when a noise was heard from the hard drive.   I turned off Superfetch to listen to the record and it made no difference.

    I left the PC running on its own after turning off any energy saving features and when I came back to it, I finally found that the keyboard was a lag now, too, I had to wait about 30 seconds for something to wake up until the keyboard is recognized.   It seems that it is the same problem that mouse, but at a later date.  I then re active features and screen saver and keyboard lag reduced significantly saving energy.

    Then, once, I got a huge amount of lag when Google open white paper screen, the mouse cursor wouldn't move at all for a long time or erratically.   In this case, I thought to 'pull' the wired keyboard and the trackball at the back of the card, and the problem immediately disappeared as if there were conflicts.

    However, this did not last long, and about an hour later, the mouse pointer lag appeared.  Don't forget this mouse worked fine for a year on an Asus card and withdraw it very well.

    My next attempt with the Bios, and it happened unexpectedly.  This motherboard has a utility to start Bios screen where I can put my own splash screen and no the Biostar on a difficult start.  So I did and all of a sudden all the problems cleared up!    It was as if something in the Bios was hung in, and then there is this whim of hard drive noise and once again, lag lag lag on my mouse.   With 16 GB of ram and 1 GB of video ram?  Just to not use the Aero's office, no sense at all to me.

    Tried to contact Biostar for 12 days now, no response.  Have the latest drivers for vista from windows for the keyboard of entertainment and mouse, service pack 2 for Vista and a 1 TB hard drive, 500 watt antec PSU, problem occurs with or without overclocking.

    I could no longer the transceiver Bluetooth 2.0 with the mouse and keyboard.  I went to a keyboard and a wired mouse again.   Then a few days later I decided that I would plug the transceiver Bluetooth 3.0.  This time it installed fine even if I had uninstalled the Intellipoint software.   I went then to the receiver Bluetooth 2.0 and it didn't work anymore.  I did a reboot between the two, and suddenly I saw a Microsoft update will appear at the bottom right of my screen.  I left it to update, and then he said that I could connect other bluetooth devices other than my keyboard of entertainment game.

    Well, this is not true at all, for the entertainment keyboard transceiver pairs automatically.    Yet, this message appeared.  When I went into the control panel to verify the situation once again, I found that there is no Bluetooth icon.   From what I've read on other Vista users using a transmitter of 3rd Bluetooth part, it seems that the Bluetooth stack has disappeared because I mixed the two Microsoft Bluetooth transceivers.    Something else occurred as well, it reminded me of moments where I would install a new installation of Win98 and some drivers as the main card drivers were not yet installed.  He will have to restart the system and over and over again for each driver be seen, and if we were out of sequence, should be made to remove and start over again until all have been installed.  In this case, it seems to be the same kind of priority when it comes to the way in which the Bluetooth drivers are installed.  When I removed the Bluetooth 2.0 transmitter/receiver and replaced by unity Bluetooth 3.0, I seem to have rid one of these priorities, let the program update that must have been stuck in the pile of pilots, how the keyboard and the mouse works perfectly now.

    With 3 wireless transmitter that is I can no longer use the Bluetooth 2.0, one all the more, I plugged it in different USB ports and we saw him, but it was not enough to cause any installer to appear.   It's as if they are reticulate together now, and I can no longer use the add a device feature.   Even if I add the second transmitter/receiver, it is simply ignored.

    Since then, right now I have no need of an additional feature and the keyboard works very well, I'll keep this configuration until I have to reinstall the motherboard still when I start then a clean Vista install.  Unfortunately the new motherboard that I received does not work as I had hoped it would be, not that it would affect the situation above, that's simply not what I was told it was, and I plan to return it the manufacturer once more.

  • Windows cannot repair this computer automatically (Vista) after changing the motherboard

    Thank you

    Clarification:
    Windows Vista is preinstalled on this system?
     
    If I read (and cited only) correctly - Yes, which is not going to work.  The license for Windows Vista was related to the Compaq system motherboard.  If you had that repaired under warranty, HP? Compaq could have helped you.  As you have created a new machine (motherboard especially) now, you will need to purchase a new license for Windows Vista or any other operating system of your choice.
     
    You could, I suppose, buy the OEM of Windows 8 version.  You will have the same problem later (OEM licenses is related to the first motherboard it is installed and activated with.)
