computer used worked, now says valid needs. XP pro

I bought a used computer on xp pro.  My old one was xp.  It lasted about a week and then said "this copy of windows must be activated..."  The seller showed me the sticker with the serial number and the code on the top, no installation cd I did what he said: then had to call on the phone and read a long number.  He has rejected it.  I did it twice.   He said to go on this web site and I did.  but I don't know what to do next.  I need to use this newer computer, my old one is exhausted.

  • Since the 6.0 Update Sync now says I need to set-up an account of synchronization does not work because my email address says that you do not use happy

    Windows Vista just updated to 6.0 on this machine and wanted to add the other machine to my account synchronization on this machine (main TM) now it says I need to configure an account to sync, however when I put my email address it tells me that it is in use if of course my account is still there version 6 just has somehow forgotten all about it. I still have another machine to update, but I'm not there until this is resolved.

    Hello!

    Instead select Create an account, you should choose 'Connect'

    In the next screen you will ask for a code. You don't need it. Instead, look at the bottom of this screen because 'I don't have the camera with me' and follow the steps.

    If you don't have the key of the clock at the end of the next step, you can get it from your other computer (assuming that it is still connected to Firefox Sync): sync your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

  • XP I've used for years, says I need to activate before I can connect on

    Hello.

    I'm always under XP 2002.  Sunday my laptop closed and restarted a couple of times. Then they gave me a list and he suggested that I chose the last known configuration that worked.  So I did.  Then he let me not open a session.  Just kept repeating that this copy of windows must be activated.  I click Yes and it gives me just a blue window without options.  I can only boot into safe mode which does not allow me to activate windows since I can't get online.  What should I do?  I know someone will say just to upgrade, but I need to use it until the end of the year.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Something obviously happened to the computer that you don't tell us everything or do not know.

    Product keys are not given. It's your job to find out why this happened.

    If it's the same XP that is preinstalled on the computer, it should be on the body of the computer on a sticker.

  • I want to pay and run a program of 'web based' on my computer. The instructions say I need "Mozilla/Webkit Compatible. How will I know if I have it?

    What is "Mozilla/Webkit Compatible? How can I be sure that my computer is running it? I use a MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
    Firefox 38.0.5 or / Safari 8.0.6, thank you

    In fact, these are two different things. WebKit is the engine layout used in Safari and Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Since money is involved, you could check a second time on versions of browsers they recommend / need to ensure.

  • I adjusted dumped final cut pro and use first now, I still need to convert images

    I use final cut for more than a decade now, but I don't like what they do with their program so now im going with what I feel is the application more professional who is Prime Minister

    So, for years in FCP, we do a thing called LOG AND TRANSFER

    Basically, you pointed the program to the SD card and then you could name your clips and import it into a more editable format

    so now someone told me, the Prime Minister is different because you can change from the SD card format and not have to transfer and to encode in a different format.

    is this true? that I don't need to encode in a different format on the Prime Minister

    Another think Edub should be aware of.

    1. In FCP, you log and transfer files, which transcode to ProRes.
    2. In Premiere Pro, it is not necessary to do so.
    3. In Premiere Pro, you can import files via file import or via the media browser.
      1. For .mov files and simple image files, you can use the file > import
      2. For basis of AVCHD files and other file based devices, use file > import, use the media browser
        1. This allows all your being imported with the file metadata
        2. This includes clip spanning info, if you are shooting long tongs, so it is important.

    Thank you

    Hello world! I'm french so if I speak wrong forgive me. For my work I need to buy adobe acrobat and the problem is I'll maybe change my computer, but not now. If I have installed adobe acrobat in my computer would it be possible to install the software in my future computer without purchasing another license that is to say with the same license that I bought?

    Yes, you can reinstall it on other machines, if you wish, without having to buy new.  A license allows for activating facilities on two machines and if necessary, you can turn off a machine in order to allow the activation of another.

    Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch
