Can I reinstall my CD of Windows XP SP3 on a new drive hard if the one in that it has already been installed is lost or stolen? It will be always authentic?

I bought a genuine Windows XP SP3 CD (french version), installed and activated, it after finding that the windows came with my computer was a fake. A few months ago my computer crashed, and my father has taken recently to his colleague to repair. The guy stole my hard drive and replaced it with another one cause it new, my father will not understand it, but I did it, the hard drive, he gave a our files, but it was XP in English and a counterfeit version. Applications of now facing guys have lost another, so I intend to install my genuine XP CD on a new hard drive, is this possible? I mean if I do that it will still be authentic or will know it must get another cd (again)?

Thank you, any help appreciated.

Hello Haby-Habbes,

If you have real hologrammed CD and certificate of authenticity, so you have the Windows license.

Install it on the new hard drive. Good advice on all XP themes, visit the http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp

      Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop

      Close the window.

    In the process from windows 8 for windows 7, I can install windows 7, and then uninstall windows 8 without difficulty?

    [Transferred from Internet Explorer]

    The main point would be there there for Windows 7 drivers for your computer model. If it is of a particular brand then search the model on their web site and see if there is any what Windows 7 drivers listed. All devices need specific drivers but if some are listed then the system probably came out as a Windows 7 machine and should support the o/s yet.

    If it is a built clone system that is the system integrator themselves do not host Windows 7 drivers but the manufacturers of components of individual system such as the motherboard, graphics etc.

    Windows 8 Pro OEM has the right to downgrade, standard Windows 8 not so much would require the purchase of a license.

    Windows 8 also supports an option called Secure Boot that needs deactivation if implemented as Windows 7 does not work. It is a setting in the BIOS.

    Thank you.

    You have hidden from other security updates?

    Are KB2604121 & KB2656405, both in display installed the updates now?

    No I have not hidden updates and Yes these security updates you mentioned are taken into account. Now I am sure that the problem is resolved because after restart several times then fact a manual update scan none are available.

  • Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

    (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

    How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

    I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

    Hi Christian,

    I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

    As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

    I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

    I have some problems with Windows 8 on this forum of the community that could not be resolved, and the only answer I get is to make a refreshment or re - install windows.

    Well, it depends, if its an upgrade, you must have a qualifying version installed to use it. You can always try the work around.

  • Device Version Manager: 6.1.7600.16385 presenting no matter what devices or Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit drivers? This has already been answered? If you don't see it you can check or update all drivers.

    14/07/13

    Whenever the device driver is selected there is just a blank page that appears. There are no announcements of any drivers anywhere, or visible by any way within Windows 7 Home Premium. For this reason there is no way to check on all the drivers or the parts of the system to see if there is no system conflicts.  I have a driver repair program that when search enabled for and comes with a list of drivers on the computer and indicates the factors that bear on a date and will go through the steps to change but since I have no way to see the driver manager or it's poster so I can't say if something is changed.

    If I have something again plug it into a USB Port, the computer recognizes that something has been plugged, but that it will not open the directory automatically, as it used to do.  For example if I put in a CD or a DVD that has auto start it won't, so it's just sitting there. If I use Windows Explorer and click computer directory will show a device for example: DVD has a DVD named such and so in the drawer.

    Plug-and-Play is selected and activated, but it seems that it does not work.  If I plug a USB key into the USB (any USB port) it sometimes it indicates with a beep or a pop-up window indicating something was plugged or removed as the case may be.

    If this file has been deleted, if it is to cause such a thing?  This computer (gateway) has a grounded partition which has a restore works however it resets all default settings etc. or can erase all files.  If there is a way to download the missing files, which makes Driver Manager do its thing, it would be a good thing. Any suggestions?

    22/07/2013

    Thank you for your suggestions. They were a good start, I followed everything as suggested, but nothing helped.

    1. as to the question was just a new program installed before this problem?  The answer could be Yes. But unknown to you, because I can't be sure of the effective date of what's going on.

    I tried to go back, at an earlier date, but it did not help.

    2. for Plug and Play - he already is set to Auto and is active, but it is grayed out and I can't change it. So it turns out that I'm locked somehow. Even if I am put as an administrator.

    3. I went into the registry and everything what you suggested is already there.

    4. the problem still exists.

    Always looking for HELP

    DwBent

    Hi DwBent,

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:

    Were there any software or hardware changes made on the computer before this problem?

    This can cause if the Plug and Play service is disabled (disabled people); I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps and check if it helps;

    Method 1:

    To resolve this problem, set the startup type for Plug-and-Play on automatic. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) click Start, click run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

    (b) double click on Plug-and-Play. If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.

    (c) in the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.

    (d) Community Services.

    (e) restart the computer.

    Method 2: The other reason, Device Manager may be empty is because there are some security issues with the registry key.

    Warning: Important this section, method, or task contains 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 about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    (c) scroll down to "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum".

    (d) with 'Enum' selected, click on "security", "Permissions" menu

    (e) click on 'Add'.

    (f) add the group "everyone" and the "SYSTEM" user.

    (g) select "everyone" and check the "read" ONLY!

    missing volume control

    volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

    "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

    I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

    We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Browsing from a level in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.
