• "Blocked product key" message after factory reset system

  Since I updated to Windows 8.1, I had random BSOD errors. They were different from the errors and what they had in common was the NT kernel, which meant that I had to do a complete restore of the system. I have put this for awhile because it happened only once at startup, then the system is stable. Today I finally had the time to do and I was prepared for some annoying problems but not like that.

  At first, I did a system reset which now seems very useless for me because it only retains the Windows settings and more like reinstalling Windows to do a full format. Unfortunately it gave me this error message. I searched online and some suggestions made to make a complete and all factory restore, knowing that it would solve nothing I moved and you did. Suffice to say it didn't work as I knew that he would not but I thought I'd better get all "did you do X procedure?" before asking for help to avoid delays in starting this sorted correctly.

  Now I'm sitting here typing this out with the error message always insisting on the fact that my product key is invalid / blocked and as it took me a while to back up my files I will have to wait until tomorrow to contact HP support. Someone at - he found a complete solution to this or discovered why their key is blocked after a reinstall? If it is a new anti-piracy measure that went wrong so I'll be even more upset than I already am.

  To add to the trouble I have specifically excluded to install Norton yet found sitting here on my laptop at the first start. I also had a problem with WiFi really stupid where he would not stay connected for more than a half second up until I connected via LAN and updated the driver. Excellent software! What happens if I had no network cable? Why did the pilot WiFi broken out of the box?

  A few additional bits of information. The laptop is under warranty. I only got it in August and it has no DVD drive, so I had to rely on HP Recovery Manager to use the recovery partition.

  Apology. I forgot this post! Yes, I solved the problem, but it was not easy nor quick. The tl; Dr version is that HP has allowed me to buy a new key of Windows and then they sent me a check to cover the cost. If you are interested in a longer version, then read on. I would also add that my laptop was still under warranty at the time where it all happened.

  For some reason the laptop BIOS (where is stored the factory key) any had lost Setup sort key. I guess that happened during a many updates of BIOS HP sent but that makes no difference. What happened then is that I had to send screenshots of the error message Windows gave me to HP showing what Windows told me (that the key was not valid etc) and wait for HP to decide on a course of action.

  Many of these e-mails took days to get a response which was pretty frustrating given that Windows would remember every 3 hours that I didn't have a valid key. The end result is that count give enough evidence HP leave of me to go out and buy a new Windows key, and then send by e-mail a copy of the invoice for a refund. Given the slow HP had to get to this point, that is so not surprising it took them more than a month to send me money to cover what I paid. This figure includes two weeks after I did what they asked and nothing happened, but after the ring, I was told that he had not crossed for "any reason" that lead to another delay of two weeks before I finally got the payment.

  I realize that the question itself was not a typical scenario and I am happy with the end result but the time it took to get there (problem started a few days before the new year of 2014 and was resolved around March 2014) was ridiculous and seriously made me hesitant to go close to HP in the future.

• Windows key + E makes acrobat auto configure?

• who, relying on the fact of anyting, windows key indicator and button 'r '?

  Last night, someone with a very strong accent called, addressing me by name, saying that he had been contracted to communicate with people and to warn of a serious problem that affects many computers.  He asked me to press my windows flag and the 'r' key at the same time.  Stupid me, but then became suspicious and hung up on top of him.  He never called back, and I turned off my computer.  I have him give access to something?  What should I do?

  I'm sure it was a call from the scam, but you hung up before that they could do something malicious on your computer. By pressing the Windows key + R just displays the screen "Run". It is completely harmless to bring up "Run", but if you had continued to follow all of the steps of that this guy was about to give you, it would probably have tried to access your computer remotely or load a virus or some other atrocity. I'm glad that you hung up!

• Re: Satellite A500 - Windows key no function

  Hello

  Since a few weeks my Windows key to use with the letters as the 'R' or 'X' does not work. The only windows key does not work too! I reinstall fron the original whole disk fab and 2 drivers as an answer on the forum, but nothing works clearly!
  Help, please

  Setting up Satellite A500 with Windows 7 Home

  Any solution?

  Hey,.

  > I have reinstall fron the original whole disk fab and 2 drivers as an answer on the forum, but nothing works clearly!
  What is original fab?
  You have exactly? Have you used the original Toshiba Recovery disk?

  Well, I think that if a unique key doesn t work it is not much what you can expect exchanging the keyboard because the individual keys are not replaceable.

  What you can try is to test the situation with an external keyboard. You can use the Windows key correctly?
  If yes the internal keyboard is faulty and should be replaced to an authorized service they can order spare parts Toshiba.

• 14 - r205nx: I lost my windows key

  Hello
  My PC was with windows original 10.
  
  I do format, after that I lost windows key.
  
  I'm looking for my old key

  Bekwan

  With the recent PC, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware and is not printed on a sticker on the PC.

  HP keeps no record of individual product associated with individual computers keys, so they are unable to provide you with the key.

  You must be able to boot in Windows or WinPE to run a utility to retrieve the key.

  You must use this link to create an installation of Win10 media: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool

  Then, starting in the media.  Once there, you should see if you can download and install this utility to retrieve the key: Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

  Good luck

• Satellite L300D - corrupted hard drive, no recovery media, no windows key

  I have a Satellite L300D-11V I'm looking for someone who would not go further that a screen blank after windows start logo, and also when you run Startup Repair he would get at this stage even too. Now pressed 0 while starting would not bring to the top of recovery, only an option for Windows Vista.

  With the help of some high end diagnostic software I have diagnosed that the hard drive has several physical defects that could well be the reason for this purpose the reader is better off being replaced. However, because of the mistakes, I am unable to create images of the player via Acronis or similar.

  Buying a new drive no problem, but the person never did no recovery media so it appears I have to buy a Toshiba recovery.

  There is no Windows key on the case anywhere either.

  If I had to buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important that I have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?

  Thank you

  > If I buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important to have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?
  In this situation best way to solve this is to swap HARD drive, restore disk original order of Toshiba and install Recovery designed for this model laptop image.
  Recovery image should not be enabled. After the installation, it will be activated automatically if you n t need product key of Microsoft for activation.

  Original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  By the way: Win7 32 bit works quite well on this laptop model then perhaps you should install has the version of Win7. Of course if you do this, you need legal product key.
  Anyway it has nothing to do with Microsoft sticker placed on Toshiba laptops. This key cannot be used for activation anyway.

• Satellite L505 - 14K - cannot read Windows key label CoA

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite L505 - 14K on which I need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, but Windows key on the label is unreadable. Could I get a replacement for it?

  Also I can not read the HARD drive Windows code because it has been formatted before that I get this laptop in my hands...
  Maybe I can get either a phone number or e-mail address to a branch of Toshiba Polish, so I could communicate with them in this case?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't provide the keys to series for windows systems. On the label, you'll find the serial OEM key but this key cannot be used for activation of the system.
  Toshiba offers a clean recovery image that already contains the active Windows System.

  This recovery disk can be ordered here:

  In General, the Windows key is the version of the OS installed on your laptop. I don't understand how you want to use the HARD drive on your desktop with a different hardware configuration. Original image installed on your HARD drive recovery is designed for your laptop and a suitable job o with certain hardware platform.

• Want 700: updates crashed our computer and stole our windows key. :(

  Our computer decided that he did not like the updates on May 11 and crashed in the middle. We have refreshed our system, everything is back with the exception of our windows key. It tells us that we activate when it was already active before the crash.

  Finally got through HP through Facebook, and my problem was solved. I discovered that the purchase by a box like best buy store would put me in a group activation key. Because it is the key that has been registered in the BIOS, and I sent the screenshots of my activation which turned bad, they sent me a key and me were resolved with two e-mails and a very favourable CSR FB

• HP blocked product key?

  A hard drive of the friends is dying so I replaced it. Before replacing the drive, I used a program called Produkey to display the product key and wrote down (the product code sticker is worn and unreadable). When I put the product key in it gave me an error, so I called Microsoft and they tell me that HP has BLOCKED the key. The laptop is out of warranty. What should I do now?

  My friend has found its set of recovery discs, who re-installed the original product automatically key. Thanks anyway guys.

• Disable the windows key?

  The task manager can be disabled easily by changing a registry value.  I also need to lock Windows keys.  Since NEITHER claims that LabVIEW is part 11 compliant, I would have assumed that this feature would be standard, but I digress.

  I found the value of registry, but for some reason, the value does not get written to the registry correctly:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
  "Scancode Map" = hex: 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 03, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 5B, E0, 00, 00, 5 c, E0, 00, 00, 00, 00

  I also tried to write the binary value (0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 to 0300 5BE0 0000 0000 0000 5CE0) as well as with no luck.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you all!

  Thanks to you I have no windows key (until I reload ). Change the setting of the const string. Then, you can write %valeurs pure hexa%. Go to the web site msdn and cut and paste values. Worked for me. Then I came to work today, I had no windows key
