Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store

Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store

My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?

If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.

I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.
the $199 price is for the full version.

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    Thank you!

    I have a machine with the same problem

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

    I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).

    It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll

    MSTSC.exe works now

    Thanks for the info!

  • The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Hello

    I get the following message appears when I try to start a remote desktop connection (the shortcut target is % windir%\system32\mstsc.exe).

    This used up until one of my pc, including all upgrades of Windows reinstalled.

    It is on a Windows 7 pc with all the service packs and updates.

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    I have a Dutch version of Windows. The mstsc.exe.MUI file is available in C:\Windows\System32\nl-NL

    It was not available in C:\Windows\System32\nl, but after that I copied it on I still get the same message.

    I even copied the entire content of the... \nl_NL folder in the... weather folder and still no luck.

    Isearched the internet for more solutions but nothing has solved the problem.

    Thank you

    OK problem solved.

    I ran the scan of the updated and all updates already installed.

    I checked the list of updates installed and already had KB2592687, KB2574819 installed.

    However, when I looked under installed updates, it showed KB2592687 and 3 others in English while I have a Dutch version of Windows.

    So I decided to uninstall the updates English 3 so I could reinstall it again.

    "Note that after uninstalling these 3, Remote Desktop already worked again.

    Apparently, these 3 uninstalling uninstalled a lot more, because after a reboot, there were 10 updates available instead of only 3 that I uninstalled). And after installing them and another restart there was even more updates available. Overall, it took three update sessions and restarts all up-to-date again.

    Although the list of installed updates again 3 updates in English, Remote Desktop works now. So obviously something has went wrong with one of the previous sessions of Windows Update.

    No, you can't. You will need to be glued to the Brazil to use the store of Brazil. These are requirements of Apple. You would not be able to use a U.S. account in the Bank of Brazil, and you could not add a gift card of Brazil to a U.S. account.

    It depends on which 'i '.

    If you are not the organizer of the family, you can redeem gift cards to your own account and use credit to buy the content.

    However, the organizer of the family, must have a credit card upon installation, to meet the legal obligation to check that it takes financial responsibility for members.  After installation, the organizer can switch to a debit card.  A gift card is not enough.
