• Message says that I don't have a copy genuine windows vista. Build 6002. My exemplary factory installed by Dell. First of all, I noticed a problem when my backround kept disappearing.

  I don't get an error code, only a build 6002 #.

  Hello

  Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/

  Click on the blue button in the left column to "validate windows".

  Build 6002 # simply indicates that SP2 is installed. Something else you have installed or updated interfered with the validation of Windows. The above will allow you to re - validate.

  When I run lightroom it tells me to "leave the other copy of lightroom before trying to launch."  I don't have another copy running.  What should I do?

  This is a new message that I heard no said just like that. This indicates that Lightroom is not normally arrested and left a record that makes Lightroom it's already underway when you try to start it again. With the help of Windows Explorer or the Finder (depending on your operating system) go to the folder that contains your Lightroom Catalog. In this folder you will find a folder with the same name as your catalog, but with .lock extension. You must remove this lock file, and then Lightroom should start normally.

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can I not have a genuine copy of windows 7 when I installed it on an official record?

  I installed windows 7 on my computer a while ago and it was working fine. Until today, when I turned on my computer and a message popped up saying that I don't have a copy genuine windows 7. Even if I had the drive official windows 7 when I bought my desktop computer. Nothing else was wrong with my computer until now and my anti-virus has not picked up something, so the problem is only with windows 7.

  If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

  It seems more than one fault on behalf of windows that it wasn't something accompanying advising me of what I could / could not do with the disc.

  
  
  It is in the end user license agreement you accepted when you installed.
  I suspect that you used a Dell OEM recovery disk to install. This drive works only on dell computers that he intended. It will not work on a Toshiba.
  Your bios has a marker for windows 7. Windows has not released to manufacturing until end of July 2009. The only way the bios of your computer may have a windows 7 marker is programmatically loading of pirates.
  Except for the family pack, it is licensed per computer.

• How to install Windows 7, when I don't have an installation disc?

  My lap top was installed with windows 7 when buying, but I did have all the disks with it, but now 2 years later I had to have the hard drive replaced but I don't have the disc of windows 7, but I still have my code to use how to get windows 7 new?

  You have been given some discs but you have invited to MAKE the RECOVERY PARTITION recovery disks...

  You will need the code key on the COA sticker that is on the basis of your machine, or perhaps in the battery compartment.

  Also, make a note of the version of Windows 7...

  Download the version that matches your COA sticker...

• is anyway to run office 2010 starter on windpws 8, if I don't have windows 7 on my computer

  I don't have it on my windows 7 because I had major problems with the program and windows 8 would not install properly.

  They only way I am aware of is to upgrade the Office Starter while still under Win 7.  This patch allows Starter work to win 8.  You perform the upgrade of Win8.

  Too late for you I guess.

• I have an old computer that I am trying to restore to use only to start drives on, however, I can't go beyond the COA. I don't have this number! Can anyone help? Thank you!

  It consists of 25 numbers.

  But what can I do if I don't HAVE the number?

  Not much.

  The key is unique to your license.  You are responsible to keep in touch with her.  If it was another thing that XP, you might be able to get (or get really) possibly contacting the computer manufacturer and get media of restoration that would restore the system to the factory settings without concern on the number too.

  So - if you don't have a copy backup of that number, is not on a label on the unit itself, and there is no installation work for the copy of Windows XP, you try to install you could tear the number of...  I'm pretty sure you've lost this license.

• 'No' genuine copy of windows after a hard disk failure.

  I have a 2 years old HP Pavilion G series and recently my hard drive has failed and could no longer boot to the top, so I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled windows using the drive of my friends and my original product key. (I don't have a disc of windows 7 because the computer did not come with one) Now, I get an error message that my copy is "not authentic" even if it's... What do I do?

  Also, it did not help because there is no phone option...

  ' Try to activate again by phone:

  Activate Windows 7 manually:
  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  "

  And whenever I try to activate, I get an error...

  Thank you!

  Hi Paul,.

  This problem may occur if you perform a hardware important change to your computer, such as upgrading the hard disk. If a major hardware change requires activating Windows again, you will advise and will have three days to activate your copy of Windows.

  Another common cause of failed Windows validation occurs when you try to install Windows on more computers than your license allows. For example, if you have purchased a copy of Windows, installed on the PC more than one online validation may fail because the product key has already been used on another computer. Normally, the rule for most copies of Windows is that only one copy of Windows can be installed on a PC. Go to Microsoft Volume Licensing to learn what your license allows.
