• I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

  The President complied,

  I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

  Hello ElumBuneri,

  As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

  See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

• New installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit does not install the Windows updates

  I tried it twice.  I install Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit on a ThinkPad T61.  After installation and activation successful Windows, I tried Windows updates.  The 'check updates' never ends.  After the first installation of Windows, I tried all sorts of bugs found either here or other Windows Help Web sites, does not.  So I reinstalled Windows, but with the same result.

  After that the first installation was impossible to install updates, I received the Windows Update stand-alone Installer and downloaded the stand-alone files for updates.  Would install things like IE updates, but no security update would install, as well as most other updates.  Yet once, just standalone Setup would continue to search for already installed updates without ever ending.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for the comments.  It's good to hear that you have actually solved the problem.

• My Windows 8 Pro product key does not work to activate my copy of Windows 8 Pro

  My work of Windows 8 product key is not

  Step 1: Yesterday I bought a new hard drive clean Virgin and I bought Windows 8 Pro at a local big-box store. It is a complete copy. Not an upgrade.

  Step 2: I removed all the other my system HARD drives and installed Windows 8 on the new hard drive. The system asked product key. I went in and everything installed perfectly. Windows works fine. I like it.

  Step 3 However, when I went to 'activate' my copy of Windows 8 and I enter this SAME product key, that I used to install I get the following message "this key did not work. Check it out and try again, or try a different key. "I repeated this step at least 4 different times after the reboot. Still does not accept it.

  Question: I can not activate my new copy of Windows 8. How can he accept my key for installation and then NOT accept for activation?

  Help!

  JWM

  The problem was solved!

  Step 1: I called Microsoft support MICRSOFT (800)

  Step 2: I navigate through all voice menus for installation tech Support for Windows 8

  Step 3: I explained the problem to the technology (Jerry)

  Step 4: The tech had me find the search function and he get a function of 4 letters (I forgot the command). I executed the function, and I got to a screen that asked me to enter a code for the Microsoft Technical Professional. I entered the 8 digit code that the tech provided for me.

  Step 5: I get to a new screen and technology (Jerry) explains that I am turned on.

  Step 6: I restart my PC and I go to the 'System' page in the control panel and it shows that my copy of Windows 8 is activated!

  The Tech explained that my copy of windows is an "upgrade" version (it isn't) and that is why I got the sentence. I explained repeatedly that it was a COMPLETE copy.  Finally, I dropped my 8 Windows has been activated.

  Call the technical support and good luck!

• Brand new Windows 7 system: battery plugged in, not supported

  I just got a brand new Acer Aspire 5542-1462 with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. I have almost exclusively while plugged operated. Battery in the notification area icon indicates that the battery is at "97% (plugged in, does not support)." How can I get the battery charge? Is there a threshold above which it does not load? Some features of the system if they will help you:

  AMD Athlon II X 2 M300 2.0 GHz
  4 GB OF RAM
  ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics card
  battery Li-ion 6 cells

  My power profile is balanced with the only change so that everything always remains that plugged while. This is my first Windows 7 machine after years with XP, so I am new to the operating system. I searched around the internet and here and can't find anything.

  Hey,.

  This is how it works:

  1. When you turn on your laptop, if your battery is more than 95%. you will get the message "connected but no charging current.

  2. When you turn on your laptop, if your battery is less than 95%, you will see the message "blocked and charge" until the battery reaches 100% (not 95%). That is why sometimes, even if you see that your battery is at 97% and load, this means before starting your laptop, the battery was less than 95% and reached 97% since then.

  Apart from the above explanation it seems some problems with the mentioned error. So, try the following steps as well.

  1. click on Start and type device in the search for field, and then select Device Manager .
  2 expand the category of batteries .
  3. under the batteries category, right-click in the list of Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method and choose Uninstall .
  WARNING : do not remove the Microsoft AC adapter driver or any other compatible ACPI driver.
  4. on the taskbar of the Device Manager, click on Search the hardware changes .
  You can also select Action > search the hardware changes .

  Give that a try!

• Accidentally, I bought the Windows 7 Professional upgrade and does not have an earlier version of Windows

  Hello

  Recently I bought Windows 7 Professional upgrade because of the student discount, I had about it, not realizing it was only an upgrade. I do not have an earlier version of windows, and so now I have a copy of UN activated Windows. My question is can I buy an old vista or XP and just plug this code? It is said the upgrade works from previous versions and because I already bought the upgrade I look forward to having to buy a brand to the copy of windows 7, if I buy xp or vista.
  Thanks for your help.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Note: You will not have to activate the previous license, just install.

  Option 2:

  Call the Activation Center and explain your situation.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

• HP Deskjet F4240 all-in-one: tried to install F4240 printer on my new windows 7 Professional, says it is not supported?

  I was wondering if I should get a new printer or can I still use my old F4240 on my new computer laptop that has Windows 7 Professional?  When installing DVD, he tells me that it is not supported.

  Appreciate any help you can give me.

  The Deskjet F4240 is supported in WIndows 7.  It is possible that the DVD you have was released before Windows 7.  You can download the complete driver recommended from HP here.

  The wizzard running install driver to http://www.hp.com/go/tools would also be an option.

• Windows 8 Pro product key does not work

  I get this error message: "this product key has not worked. Please check it and try again"

  
  
  Just bought the Windows 8 Pro in Windows 7 home premium upgrade.  Fresh installed from a USB...

  Got mine sorted... I called customer service... you guys can check it out here for your countries respective http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers

  So yes... to explain the situation, they will provide you with this diagnostic package... click on the package, reset your comp... and you should be able to activate your shiny new operating system... they were quick to fix my problem... Bravo to them... hope it helps = D

  Method for those who don't want phone customer service:
  Your key is a unique key for update... meaning that it will not allow a new installation... unless you do the workaround of Windows 7 registry.

  You must open a run dialog box and type: "Regedit".

  Then I located this key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE /.

  And find one called "MediaBootInstall.

  Double-click that and change a 1 to 0.

  Then open cmd as administrator

  Type the command "slmgr /rearm.

  You will get a restart of your computer messge.

  Restart

  Then when you restart your computer, you open a dialog box run again and type "slui.exe 3" and it will allow you to enter your product key and activate :)

• New Windows 7 Asus computer laptop does not connect to internet

  ASUS A52JR - X 1 laptop computer

  He'll find a network.  It doesn't let me access the network files.  It does not connect to the internet, but it's getting an IP address.  DNS does not, even if it has the IP of the router listed as a DNS server.

  I disabled IPv6 based on other peoples problems, but it doesn't seem to help.  I tried to update the driver for the CARD, but it doesn't seem to help.   I'll try update driver video, to see if it helped, but the pilot was not available on the main site (Radeon 5470) and I don't know how it would be useful anyway.

  Diagnose Windows said try restarting the router, which I did, but it did not help.  If I skip this step, said diagnosis "the default gateway is not available."

  There is also a tunnel of the card, even after disabling IPv6.  I don't know if this is normal or not.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What router are you using? You can turn off proxy DNS? If this is not
  possible, you should be able to get the IP addresses of the DNS servers of your ISP
  and configure those statically. The use of routers IP means that the router is
  Proxy DNS. Looks like proxy DNS does not work.

• Remote Desktop on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit does not connect to my computer Windows XP VPN

  I recently updated from windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit.  According to the same installation instructions, that I used on XP to connect to my computer to work through VPN & remote desktop is no longer working.  I can connect to the VPN connection without no problem, but when I use remote desktop to connect to the computer, it does not work.  I get the message:

  Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:

  (1) remote access to the server is not enabled

  (2) the remote computer is disabled

  (3) the remote computer is not available on the network

  Make sure that the remote computer is on and connected to the network, and remote access is enabled.

  Items 1-3 are all very well, so it must be another problem.  I also checked windows firewall remote desktop is allowed on the exceptions list.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  I fixed, which was ultimately quite simple.  I changed the 3 settings, 1 - uncheck the TCP/IP v6 2 - in the options of the remote desktop, ADVANCED tab, I changed the server authentication for: connect and don't warn me.  3 - below, to connect from anywhere, settings...  I chose: do not use a remote desktop gateway server. \
  I checked the TCP/IP v6 and everything still works.
  Hope that helps someone.
