Can version non-Genuine XP on the computer, I write with my authentic version too?

Recently had a friend clean up my computer and re-install XP. He did not use my genuine disc, I have had with the computer, but installed a copied version.  Then I too ask or record the version that it installed on my computer with my own or use my registration code to make this legitimate version?

Hello

(a) if the copied version of Windows XPcorresponds to the same edition, which was previously installed on your machine, you can use the original product key on your machine to make a legitimate copy of Windows.

You can run the product key update tool to make a genuine copy of Windows.

Windows product key update tool instructions

(b) you can also contact the Microsoft customer and support for assistance Service team. They will check the part number & check if the product key can be used on your machine.

Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • How can I send faxes directly to the computer?

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a HP all-in-one.  My computer operating system is windows Vista home and the printer is connected wireless to my home network.  I want to know how to send a fax received from the printer directly to the computer without having to print on paper first.  Occasionally, my printer working ink or for any other reason, I'm not going to want to print a paper copy of a received fax.  I may still need to read the fax.  I wish I could print the faxes in my computer so I can read and print the latter if necessary. Thanks for the help. Jim

    Ah, I finally found!  It's an option under HP digital fax on the control panel of the product.  Thus, for some reason, the process with my printer was very complicated:

    1. I tried to configure digital facsimile from the control panel of the product.  He ordered me to use the software on the computer that comes with the printer; as well;

    2. I tried this software.  But the software I had installed my printer do not have an option for digital Fax, so;

    3. I went to the product HP digital fax option control panel that directed me to the built-in web server, therefore;

    4. I opened the built-in web server. But although this software has options for HP digital fax it doesn't have an option to stop printing paper, so;

    5. I had to go back to the product digital HP Fax option control panel and find the option to disable fax print it!

    Of course, at almost every step along the way that I should try to set up the printer, and then understand why it didn't work the way I wanted to and then go on the support forum, read page after page of messages, return to the printer, try various "solutions" online, then go back to forums, etc, etc. etc.  It seems that HP could do a much better job in the design of its product interface software so that customers did not have to spend as much time find answers to simple questions.

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

  • How can I reinstall windows xp when the computer does not start and there is no cdrom/dvd drive?

    I have an Acer netbook aspire one.  It will not boot past the windows logo.  I have a windows xp disc to reinstall windows, but the computer has no CD or dvd rom.  Can I copy cd of windows xp on startup SD memory card and reinstall windows?  Or can I run connect the non working pc a working PC to access the cdrom on the work pc to reinstall windows?

    First of all, you are mistaken when you say that the PC does not start.

    This is clearly starting. The problem comes from Windows, not with the real PC. It's actually a very important distinction!

    There are methods to repair Windows, but they can be a bit tedious. By all means, follow the advice given here to do if you're so inclined.

    If you would not rather to repair Windows (and I think it's interesting a try) or your repair attempts are unsuccessful, apparently, you would need to use an external optical disc drive and follow the instructions here:

    Your description sounds like this group utility from a PC manufacturer.  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your PC & get new copies of that & other utilities that they shipped with your PC.  Check that they are all Windows 7 compatible versions.

    It looks like one of the bundled versions of StarDock but could be something else that, naturally, without a photo it is impossible to ensure.  DellDock is just a version of StarDock.   HP have their own version embedded, called HPDock, as another example.  Take a look at the Help link provided by Ronnie as the illustrations may help confirm what it is you are looking for [bundled versions of StarDock resemble each other quite well].

  • Can Fax and Scan works when the computer is in standby?

    I am relying on Windows Fax & Scan (WFS) to try repeatedly fax a document until it succeeds.  He will continue to try even if it goes into mode after the time period specified in power options?  Right now, I've set High Performance from switch to "standby" mode, but it seems like a waste to keep the fully active computer only try to fax from time to time.  It's a must to send the fax, but if the computer doesn't have to be quite awake to do this, or if she'll wake to do that, so much better.  For example, I understand the HD turns down mode "Eve".  If there is enough RAM, I wonder if the HD even turn up just to send the fax.

    Hi Frank,.

    If Windows Fax and Scan is set to auto answer mode and your ring-in modem is defined as a factor in reactivation - usually required to be put in the BIOS of the motherboard (Basic input and output system) - the system will be woken up and answered the call.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
