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.

    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.

    How to solve problems using the clean boot in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    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.

  • After you install a new motherboard it takes forever to reach the sign on screen after power on

    After turning on the computer, the new phones logo screen remains on for centuries before I got the sign of windows on the screen. If I disable this screen in the bios, I get messages from post for centuries, which is just as boring.

    Unless it is an exact replacement for an older MB, you must download and install all the drivers of Windows XP available for her, beginning by the chipset drivers. If you are unsure how to do this, view the make and model (including revision number; it is usually screen printing on the MB if is not in your documentation), and we will try to help you.

    Photosmart HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge.  The specified controls did.

    Yes, I was referring to manually clean the print head. I see that the 5510 lacks the possibility of leaving the print head manually.

    You can click on the menu of your SETUP program on your screen and go to TOOLS and clean the print head from there.

    If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to replace the print head.

  • High CPU use/Slow Performance after you install the updates of Windows

    I run Vista Business 32-bit.

    After you install many Windows updates in the last few days, I've known very slow performance after the system worked for a while. Resource monitor shows 70-100% CPU usage, even when you run all the apps (that I know of). This makes everyhting grind to a halt, same trip that the mouse jerky movements. I ran several complete system with McAfee anti virus scans and not found problems (using the latest software). The detail showed the so-called ", PID4 NT kernel and system" using 18% avialable CPU capacity, but this process is not always shown to use much more capacity when the slow performance occurs. Nothing else don't use much capacity CPU, I see.

    More recently, the capacity of the CPU became crazy, jumping from zero to 100% usage in a back a suite oscillation. When I shut down and restart, performance improves, but erodes little by little over time.

    Is this a sign of a virus, or is it a problem with the recent Windows updates or some kind of conflict with my software such as McAfee? How do I tell me what to do? Anyone else have this problem with the recent Windows updates?

    Help!  Thank you!!

    HP G60-630us laptop... .replaced hard drive... .installed 3 boot disks... After you remove the last drive, when you click on continue it is supposed to start... .it reads no boot device... . If put you the first disc to start, you end up back where you started... I changed the boot order and put the hard drive first... even starts

    Hello

    That sound great for the hard drive.

    With regard to the problem you have with Windows activation, it's because your laptop is listed as originally came with Windows 7 Home Premium - as I mentioned in my guide for the creation of a sale installation disc at retail, the image that you use needs to be also be Home Premium - IE you cannot move to professional or ultimate edition as the key on your COA label will not work for a different version of Home Premium and there is no way around that.

    The image that should be used is on the following link.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    You will need to create another disc of installation using the above Image and then use it to reinstall Windows 7 - the activation methods I described previously, then will work fine.

    Kind regards

  • My phone is lock and does not start after you install an update to Windows.

    Boots systems and load normally until the display of connection where instead of the login screen, I show the screen updated frozen on "Installing part 3/3 (0%) update." The laptop stays on this screen, with the cursor froze with a loading icon, for about half a minute until the screen shuts off and reboots the system, put the system in a loop, I can't on.
