  Separated from this thread.

  Oh my god. Very bad support of the Viet Nam from Microsoft.

  Hello

  Please keep us updated,

  As you mentioned that support staff has informed you that you can not activate your product key from your current location since your product was purchased from Dell XPS USA., which means that your product key is Geoblocked.

  The GeoBlock is a feature used by small businesses, which, for various reasons, want if ensure that their machines can still work - but do not have need for them to work outside of a specific geographical area. So in this case you will need to contact Microsoft Support for activation. See the link below for more information about the activation of your product:

  Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  Recently, I restarted my computer and received the following message is displayed:

  "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

  If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.

  After I tried all the options available, but whenever I do it, windows is only a blue Flash of a screen and then brings back me to the same menu over and over again.

  I can NOT CONNECT AT ALL even in safe mode (by connection, I mean I can't access the section Office at all - case im explained does not this right). as soon as it reaches the load to windows xp my computer screen restarts as if I am the ' turn off and turn back on.

  I tried to perform a repair of Windows through my cd of instalation installation, but it just took me a blue screen saying there was a problem and he had to shut down to avoid damage. He also told me this: * 0x0000000a (0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0 x 00000018, 0x80819b92)

  The computer is an emachine and was purchased at a walmart nearly 5 years ago and it worked fine until one day it started to do this. I can't access any of my files or anything. It must be a software problem, because since then I checked all the problems of material possible and found nothing. the result of this is that I can't use my computer. It is a desktop computer and was reliable until it happened. I'm not sure of the cause, and I think it's something wrong with the operating system. I have tried everything I know and need help as soon as possible.

• Can I use a product key Vista Business OEM with retail Vista Business install disc on the original OEM computer?

  In fact, I have two questions:

  [1] my niece has a HP laptop with a sticker of the OEM Vista Business product key on the bottom. She has no HP restore disks or something like that. The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business. Can I use its product key with my Vista disks professional retail to install Vista on her computer? It is the key to correct OEM, original to this computer product.

  If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

  No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
  "retired", and that XP has been installed clean.

  and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start

  Something new, or it never does to start XP?

  (empty blue screen with the mouse pointer, not go further). According to the test material, the hard drive still works. I have a retail copy of Vista Business.

  No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
  product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
  Upgrade and family or professional.

  If the #1 answer is Yes, is [2] possible to install without erasing its hard drive? Maybe by making an upgrade? She has files out there that are not backed up - mainly music and Word documents. Can I somehow save them because I install Vista?

  Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
  files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
  etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
  should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.

• How can I reinstall Windows 7 Home premium on my MSI FX600 OA if the recovery partition does not work?

  So, I bought this laptop MSI FX600. It had Windows 7 Home premium OA (OEM I guess). It also contains a recovery partition.

  After awhile, I had to reinstall windows, so I downloaded an iso of windows, put it on a USB key and reinstalled. but the product key doesn't work though I should be able to use it because it is not used by any other computer. How can I reinstall windows and activate with the product key OEM on the bottom of the laptop? somehow the recovery partition no longer works, so that will not help either. Also, where can I download the iso right for reassembly?

  too bad that I already fixed it. I installed the version English, but anyway my laptop only supports the Dutch version. Thank you for your abundant answers.

• Windows - Alt Key focus bug does not have to access the menus.

  Hello-

  I use Alt - Tab to move through my open applications.  After tabbing through open applications using Alt - Tab, and then selecting an application (such as Excel), the Alt key does not work the first time I click on it.

  For example, I Alt - Tab to Excel, Excel Gets the focus, I type Alt - F to access the file menu.  It does not work.  I find myself with the letter 'F' in the currently selected cell.  Inevitably, this screw my spreadsheet and distracted me from my work.  This was never a problem in Windows XP, in Windows 7.  I find that it is occurring with other applications also.

  I have to press the ALT key twice or press ESC and Alt - F.

  Is there any solution for this?  A patch?  A work around?

  Thank you

  I discovered that the source of this problem (for my computer) is that I was using an Aero theme.  When I switched to Windows Classic theme, the problem disappeared.

  Steps to follow:

  (1) right-clight on your desktop.

  (2) select "Customize".

  (3) select "Windows Classic Theme.

  I found that it was the themes Aero that caused the problem.  So now, Windows 7 is really ugly with the "Windows Classic theme" but I'll take functionality without bugs an interface fairly riddled with bugs anywhere, anytime.

  It works for you?

• How can I connect Windows XP to several networks, Wi - Fi for internet and the other for file sharing?

  On windows XP, I need to connect to two different networks. Free wifi for the internet and the other for file sharing.

  Different gateways, different static address, same subnet mask. But there is problem when operating simultaneously and must

  a network must be disabled. Is it possible to run simultaneously?

  original title: served various networks simultaneously on windows xp

  Go to where you have configured the static IP addresses for your network adapters.  Leave the "default gateway" blank for your local file sharing adapter and insert a valid default gateway for your wifi Internet adapter.  Of course, this will limit your adapter in a single subnet - which should be OK for use at home or small office to share local files.

  This should work as long as the two physical subnets have two different subnet numbers. In general, this means that the first three digits of the IP address of the adapter can not be the same on both adapters - if they are, then you need to make one of the subnets. (i.e. one is 192.168.1.xxx and the other would be 192.168.2.xxx).  This is usually accomplished in the router configuration page.
