do I need a genuine certificate of authenticity for windows 98 since its so old?
Hi I have a copy of windows 98, but not the certificate of authenticity. so I did some research and found an article that says you can u a generic coa in windows 98 since its so old, then it displays the certificate of authenticity and said microsoft has given to them so I was wondering if this is true and if I can use this cost I'll add a link
http://help.WUGNET.com/Windows2/generic-Windows-98-product-key-ftopict490835.html
A certificate of authenticity is not a key or license its simply a CA certificate, confirming its true.
Win98 normally install on the PC more modern

I just bought the HP20002D19WM, which came with no software (cyberlink) key and certificates of authenticity for windows. I can't use any program cyberlink with a key number to enter. Also if I would give for somereason I wonder in my number of windows I would not be able to since I have ever trevieved it
This is the original factory specifications for your laptop HP 2000-2d19WM. All Cyberlink OEM software should work without key, because it is not mandatory for the installed OEM mass products. Regarding the Windows product key, see Activation of Windows 8 product;
- OEM Activation 3.0 (OA3) at the factory. A digital product key (DPK) is encrypted and installed on the motherboard BIOS during the manufacturing process. Windows 8 will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the Internet. With systems activated by OA3, most of the computer's hardware can be replaced without the need to reactivate the software from Microsoft.

A horse of Trojan/worm trashed my netbook. The only solution was to reformat. I have a genuine certificate of authenticity. I reinstall XP home on a CD, but the key does not work. There are no disks with the laptop (samsung n110). Any thoughts that does not involve forced to part with $149 for W7?
The COA is on the underside of the netbook. The XP Home has been installed on the netbook when I bought new from PC World.
I assume that the CD (since your laptop is dead which replaces this netbook) I used has some other codes wired inside or MS think I'm installing twice when it should be used on a single machine. I thought that the COA was unique to my netbook and so proves that I am not pull a fast.
Samsung have this recovery application that has been blown away by the reformat.
Everything is new except activate my XP home.
I would upgrade to W7 to avoid this pain, but there is a recession on you know :)
At latest
I see now.
If you can get a generic XP Home OEM CD, you should be fine. (Yes, I'm aware that it may not be easy to find these days).
Netbooks are so problematic; I never want one!
Good luck with the Samsung forum.

need to buy the product key for window xp...
need to buy windows xp product... old one key put on this computer was made by massive keys and is blocked by microsoft. How can I get a new product key?
You computer does have a COA sticker on it?
If so, what version and edition of Windows is valid?
IF it's for the same edition of Windows is already installed (probably XP Pro) and then try to use the product key update tool to change the key to that on the sticker.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/help/genuine/product-key
You may be able to get a set of recovery discs for the machine to the manufacturer, at a reasonable price - check out their website.
otherwise, thanks for posting a report MGADiag, and we may be able to help
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, pleasePlease also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case with your machine, but do NOT quote the key on the sticker!

Korean version of Windows XP Home Edition, need to install the language English for Windows
I tried all methods to install English through regional options, install the update patch and also installing Microsoft Desktop language settings change. None of this works and there seems to be no English language pack and MUI is only for Windows XP Professional not personal.
I went and changed the menus of the tab Advanced English-United States and the regional tab. Is that all I can install it. In addition the tab details and the English set as default language. Yet all my Windows apps and windows are Korean.
What can I do?
I'm sorry, but as you know the MUI is only for XP Pro. You will need to either buy XP Home in English and do a clean install or upgrade to XP Pro Korean and get the language packs. (You cannot spend the Korean House in English Pro.) MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Need antivirus software, which is best for Windows 7?
need anti virus for windows 7 anyone knows the best for
A very good (free) choice for real-time protection is:
Microsoft Security Essentials
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Don't forget, no single anti-virus program can detect every single threat in the wild, so it is wise to run periodic scans with other programs in addition to your real-time protection, I suggest following two free programs:
Malwarebytes
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/SUPERAntiSpyware
http://www.SUPERAntiSpyware.com/Depending on your browsing habits / on the Internet, you can run manual scans with the two above on a weekly / every two weeks to be sure.
One last note, don't forget to keep the virus definitions updated!

Need to create an installation media for Windows 8 (not 8.1)
I recently had need to reinstall Windows 8.1 due to a crash problem. I am now stuck because of the key, I bought and that a Microsoft tech I had a chat session with said use the button install Windows 8 on the following page:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
Well, it doesn't work and think that I have no internet connection then further down the same page is a link to create the installation media if you get this message but isn't only for 8.1 8. My key does not work on a clean install of Windows 8.1, which I already have a DVD. When I came across this problem, a comment I found said to use a generic key because the installation will not continue. Well, it worked, but when I tried to activate Windows with my purchased key, he acknowledged, because apparently my installation media was just 8.1 and not Pro that I bought. I asked the tech if I could use the web page above to reinstall Windows again and he said yes, but make sure you use Windows 8.
I saw the link above referenced in many places on this forum for people who want to install 8 don't not 8.1, but it leads to the same place, and when you launch mediacreationtool.exe, there are only options for 8.1.
I've been going round in circles on links to Microsoft, but the creation of the only available media seems to be to 8.1. Where can I download the installation for Windows 8 only media?
It shows how to use a WIndows 8 key to activate a Windows Installer Clean 8.1 in stage 4 information box in the blue link.
