  • I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key

    * Original title: product key

    I installed Windows 7 not genuine, I need to activate it, but I could not find the product key. Could someone guide me please.

    If you can't find the product key, you will need to buy a new one:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC?

  • Please, please help. No sound from my sound card on board after installing windows 7

    I just installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my computer that previously had windows xp professional sp3 top.  My motherboard, what I don't know, is an a32gv11c from ASUS with a team of a soundcard SoundMax.  I have absolutely no sound and can't seem to find the drivers for it anywhere.  Y at - there anyone out there that can help me to find the driver I need to get a sound?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I know it's my advice, which means that the hardware manufacturer, who has done this.  The installation for the integrated sound card cd says that the current operating system is not supported, which to me makes sense because this material was released before windows 7.

    All documentation is in stock and not accessible.  I looked inside to the motherboard and can't seem to find any useful information pertaining to the brand of it...  I never spent by with any programs driver utility because my model did not appear.

    Issues that everyone seems to have is with no sound from sound card after installing windows 7, not just isolated to my sound card.  I have a hard time believing I am eternally screwed with no sound from my computer because of my hardware not supported under windows 7.  There must be a solution out there.  I realize that I should have found that now but can not which is what brought me to this forum.  Someone knows and can help me.

    You are not 'for always screwed"- you can always buy and install a sound card which the manufacturer supports their product under Windows 7 - operating system, you choose to run.  The trick is to have a piece taken in charge (by the manufacturer) hardware or software - * under the operating system you choose to run *.

    Yep - you've had this old Ford Mustang you bought this Nitro kit for... But now that you have this new Ford Mustang - Nitro kit may not work.

    Your only real solution: get a piece of hardware - audio device - supported under Windows 7 by its manufacturer.  Else do you play with fire, may or may not work and even if it does not, could be broken by the next patch or update.  If you have a PCI or PCIe available slot, find a cheap good sound card (trust me - the one you had would have qualified as cheap) and throw it in.  15 USD and up to I guess.

Please please help

    It is not possible for me to every time the format of the system

    kindly, please give solution.

    My system is connected to the network with 3 PCs and all are licensed copy.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.

    From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

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

    Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data

    Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    a. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click continue.

    c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.

    e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.

    Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.

    f. close the registry editor.

    g. restart the computer.

    Method 2:

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

  • SD card is not working properly after installing windows 10

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) with EL Capitan 10.11.5 and after I installed 10 windows using bootcamp, everything worked fine at first, but after I deleted my part of windows and then installed windows 10 the second time, the SD card is not working properly. She mounts only if the computer shuts down first, and then start. If I take the laptop directly, the SD card will not rise. The same thing happens when I switch systems using a control option key or bootcamp Center where when I switched to another system, the SD card that was mounted on the old system does not appear in the new system. I was trying to solve this problem remove the part of windows before you reinstall it again once, so I found that after I deleted the windows part, the problem is gone and it reappeared after installing windows 10 even once. I also found that after I installed windows the total volume of hard drive (128g front) became 121g.

    Hello LorinMax,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of your work with your Macbook Pro SD card!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot use your SD card, unless you stop and then restart. Because this behavior started when you installed Boot Camp, I would start with the following steps:

    1. first of all, start by repairing your hard disk in disk utility to correct the unexpected problems that could be the cause of this behavior.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    3. According to Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide, you may need to back up your personal data and reinstalling OS X, then reinstall Windows via Boot Camp and related support files.

  • Computer OS used to start after installing windows 10

    Hello im having problem starting my system after installing windows 10. I did the install and it worked fine since the upgrade to 8.1. But then I tried to format the drive and in the menu format, he's stuck at 2%, and then I restarted the computer. Now it will hang at the hp logo and go back to the same logo. Do I have to replace my hard drive?

    What I understand, if you have completed the 10 Windows Installer and everything has happened until the end, then you are supposed to be able to do a clean install with the download of Windows 10 DVD or USB.  With a working computer, GO to THIS PAGEand scroll down to the button "download tool" selection the 64-bit version.  Once clicked, it will ask you if you want a DVD or USB for the iso.

    Once it's done and you have the DVD or the USB version, see if you can install Windows 10.  If this fails, you may need to replace the hard drive.

    A few days ago, I removed a few programs, and I installed the new Windows 7 operating system. Everywhere I had to download the new drivers for the camera because they do not work. After you download the drivers of the camera, the camera become operative (YES!), but later worked for me, a built-in microphone was out of use. What may be of it with the cause and this driver to download and why the microphone not working?

    I can't talk with friends on Skype ;( Help me. I hope you know what I'm saying.

    Hello

    Do you really install any drivers after installing Windows 7? Maybe you have forgotten something and so it doesn t work.
    Micro is a part of webcam so be sure that driver webcam is properly installed and driver sound, you need to as well.

    After that, check the sound settings. Make sure that the Microphone is enabled and test it again with amp active microphone.

    With Webscan, I can only scan and save 1 page at a time, I can not scan several pages of the document 1 more.

    I downloaded "Extended Scan" but when I try to use this app, it says "year error occurred while scanning" without more information.
