• After you install a new motherboard, Windows XP says to turn on again, but it fails.

  I installed a new motherboard and now I have a saying of screen I have to activate windows again but activation fails with the message saying that could have pirated software. I walked into the 7 sets of 6 numbers, as requested by the machine on the phone. I also tried to activate online, but the computer does not connect. Anyone have a phone number for uk support it is a person not a machine?

  original title: Windows XP activation problems

  Your problem is probably because you have a preinstalled Windows - an OEM copy - copy and these licenses CANNOT be transferred to the new motherboards or new computers, except in conditions of warranty.

  Activatin is using the product key - which consists of 5 blocks of 5 characters each.

  The ID of the product that is referenced in the Sytem Propertyies page, will show if you have a key OEM - the second group of characters will be OEM, if so.

• How to reactivate Windows XP after you install a new motherboard?

  original title: REACTIVATE MY XP PRO AFTER INSTALLING NEW motherboard

  I had to have a new card mother installed a few days ago and after I got my CPU home and hook

  place a screen came up saying I had to re-activate my XP Pro.  Thirdly, I bought this computer custom made

  hand and was not given any o/s disc or product key, but I upgraded the operating system and it has been certified

  my Microsoft before.  How to re-enable it without the product key?

  Use Magical Jellybean Keyfinder to get your product key and then activate in the usual way.

  I assume that, by "upgrading of the o/s", you mean that you have downloaded and installed service packs or updates to security and not if you change from one version of Windows to another.

  Hi Roger,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description it looks as you receive an error message when you connect to the computer.

  This problem occurs because of the scheduled task or as a result of a software conflict on your computer.

  I suggest you perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

  Clean boot will check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: once the diagnosis has been made, make sure that you reset the computer as usual

  Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  If you need Windows guru, do not hesitate to post your questions and we will be happy to help you.

  Is there a way to pull this off with on the reinstallation of the operating system?  This post http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2007/09/how-to-install-a-new-motherboard-without-reinstalling-windows.ars looks promising, but not specifically for Vista.

  I don't have a Vista DVD that I bought the upgrade online. I have it on a spare SATA drive and can't burn on a DVD because for some reason any damned, it is slightly larger then what fits on a 8.4 GB DVD. I have a disc XP full version. The current installation is a clean vista who, for now, I forget exactly how I managed, but I remember that you can do a full install with upgrade to vista as long you have your original cd of XP handy.

  Hello Sqrly,

  All you can do is try. It's 50-50 if you try to fix the MBR (master boot record). If this does not work and clean install will be your only option. If I were you, I would like to do a clean install. You can download this ISO (Vista) link:http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ but the use of this software to burn your ISO. Link: http://download.cnet.com/Active-ISO-Burner/3000-2646_4-10602452.html?tag=mncol, let us know if this allows you to get your drive. Follow the instructions. Try to repair your windows MBR with this disc. If it isn't you may have an option to make your recovery partition recovery disks or you must contact the manufacturer to buy them for a small fee. Very nice MOBO you got there by the way! ;-) Let us know whether, if that helps you. Make it a great day!

• When you install a new application, is it necessary to start from a clean boot to ensure that no application works?

  When you install a new application, is it necessary to start from a clean boot to ensure that no application works?  Somewhere, a long time ago, we advised me to always be in a boot environment when installing new applications and have always respected this notice since.  However, I recently learned that is not necessary and may even be counterproductive because some Microsoft Services are needed for new facilities.  My goal is to have no corrupted installations to avoid future problems, but I have nothing seems to give me resistance gremlin 100% and I still have my share of challenges.   Almost all applications that I install contains the warning to make sure that no application works before installing.  Can anyone tell me with authority the best way to ensure that new installations of new applications please?  In addition, the same orientation for Win XP Pro to do with Win 7 Home Premium please?  Thank you.

  YW. Yes, I think an important thing to take away is to realize that it is better to only install the necessary Windows updates 'priority '. There is one exception, apparently. Recently, an MVP made me notice that updates to certificate root (which although considered "Optional" are virtually useful updates to security for IE) must be installed as well.

  But others are optional and since then, they can be VERY problematic (especially updates of pilot and the dreaded Windows Search 4.0), you really should stay away from them!

  Happy to help to explain things. Good luck!

• We had Best Buy install a new motherboard and have now no Windows XP. How can reinstall us with no available disks?

  We took our best Buy HP cleaan out and install a new motherboard, but now we must not be pulled up to Window XP and theyu advised us that we need to buy it again.  Is it possible to reinstall windows XP without buying the whole program again.

  -What did they replace the motherboard with an identical?  If so, Windows XP may be able to run.  What happens when you try to start it?

  Don't have they replaced the hard drive?  If this is not the case, there could be a recovery partition on the disk that you can use to install Windows XP.

  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer of the computer for an installation disc.

  You shouldn't buy a new copy of XP.  A computer repairman competent all these possibilities would discuss with you before starting the repair work.

• Once you install a new printer firmware for your printer, is it possible to return to the earlier version of the firmware of the printer in case an error occurs?

  Once you install a new printer firmware for your printer, is it possible to return to the earlier version of the firmware of the printer in case an error occurs?

  It may be an option, as long as the error prevents you to connect to the machine. Even so, some firmware update software will not allow a downgrade. This is something that you should go to the manufacturer of the printer for more information.

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• Windows 7 takes forever to empty the trash

  When I delete the file it takes forever to empty the Recycle Bin on Windows 7
  Something must be wrong, for example, it will take nearly 7 minutes to empty the trash containing 2 GB!

  I feel that I did something wrong because my first installation of windows 7 this problem does not occur

  Thank you

  Hi Zvika,

  If running Chkdsk (according to the post of Ramesh Kumar) does not help, you can determine whether this problem is caused by third-party shell extensions. You can use ShellExView from Nirsoft to work.
