Fixed the pc and now problems with the operating system.

So a few weeks ago I had replaced my motherboard fried and all the rest. Windows claimed to resurrect my computer, my copy of Windows 7 is not legitimate and does not accept my product key. Any advice on how to fix this?

If your license of Windows 7 comes with the previous motherboard, it is not transferable to a new motherboard.

If it is a license upgrade of retail that you bought in a store, the motherboard, you take a match it must have a previous qualification licence.

You can also try the following:

How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
 
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
 
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
 
(3) select your "country" in the list.
 
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
 
(5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
 
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

    FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD

    Greetings to one and all and I thank very you much for your help to help me.

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows Vista Home Basic AMD Mobile Sempron processor. Recently, I tried to upgrade the free version of my Antivir Avira antivirus for a trial version, but during the process, I lost my internet connection. Sometimes, my network shows another "Local and Internet" and "Local" only. However, in both cases I am not able to connect to the Internet. Whenever I try to open a page in the browser, it is blank and nothing appears on the screen... I also try to reinstall the operating system, but since I can't access the Internet when I reached the point of the process called "GET IMPORTANT updates to UPDATE for the INSTALLATION" where I have to choose between two options a) go online to get the latest updates (recommended) and b) do not get the latest updates for facilities , I can only opt for the other that says that the installation may fail. Therefore, it seems that I cannot even reinstall the operating system. In addition, I often small windows to appear on my screen as "msnmsgr.exe" "skype.exe" "OSA.exe" file corrupted with such messages "the file C:\Users\ myname\AppData\Local\Temp directory is corrupted and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility ". However, the problem is I can't run the check disk, because every time I have it try I got the following message "checking file system on C, the type of files is NTFS one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue"until I read the whole message again appears" the disk check was cancelled ". I am not able to get the help and Support Windows open, but on the window I only heard the message "you have lost your connection using Windows and support". I don't know what to get my computer works well and my connection internet back. Someone here tell me step by step what to do to solve all the problems mentioned above? I am very grateful to each of you. Please, note that from my computer I have not access to Internet, so tell me any solution which will take me to use my computer to connect to the Internet. Sorry for the length of my post.

    PS at the beginning of this problem I used to have errors with their code on the screen of my laptop, but unfortunately I did not take account of their > more, for to appear the problem worsens my computer was a bit slow

    SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD

    First of all, thanks a lot to you all and especially to the Lorien-SpiritX and their insightful answers. As they both suggest to me I tried sfc/scannow and I received the following message on my laptop screen "start the phase of checking system scan audit 44% complete Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation"

    I did also check CHKDSK/f/r utility Office and I received the following message "the type of the file system is NTFS cannot lock drive current CHKDSK cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts "and I answered Yes

    In addition, I tried to use my CD to reinstall my operating, but if it starts well by copying files to the end of the process, when the second stage of the process "expand our files" starts, it stops at 27% and never goes further.

    These are all questions, added to all that I already mentioned in my first post with the same title

    This looks like failing hardware, not software. I would look at the hard drive first, and then the RAM and the motherboard.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

    If the computer is still under warranty, contact Dell technical support.

    On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

  • problem with restart operating system upgrade

    I recently bought a refurbished mac model identifier: imac8, 1... I bought and installed snow leopard operating system and I am now trying to upgrade further, the problem I have is when I do an upgrade that the computer does not restart, it just goes to the star screen and do not turn off and restart it, how do I solve this?

    If the computer still has installed 10.6.3 according to your profile and then download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. Then, open the software update (System preferences - software update) and see if there are several updates to the system. If there is, install them all!

    If you want to install a newer version of Mac OS X, then you will need to make sure that the computer has 4 GB or more of RAM (your sleeps 6GB) and then navigate to the Mac App Store and install El Capitan 10.11.1

    If you continue to have problems, maybe a visit to the dealer that you buy is in order or you will need to find a CENTER in your area that can help. Apple stores won't work on a 2008, it is considered a legacy machine.

    Hello Mandypoole,

    As you physically remove the laptop there is every chance that the hard drive has been damaged. This can also be the cause of the hum, but the buzz can also be something else. Your best course of action is to take it to a repair shop for them to watch.

    I did the update to Firefox today. I am able to connect to Comcast, but can't stay connected. I go to the home page, it tells me that I'm not connected, so I go to the log in page, log in, and it brings back me to the home page showing that I am connected. When I try to access my emails, instead of taking me to this page, it just brings back me to the log in page. It also does it when I navigate anywhere on the site. Help!

  • vCenter 5.5 | In case of disaster, lost database tries to upgrade, vCenter blue screen and now problems with vCenter rebuilt.

    There was a bug in vCenter 5.5 (go figure) where he tried to access a file in "C:\users" for some strange reason, she refused to install/configure SSO.  It took hours of VMWare support to force it to install by copying files autour in hand, trying to get the installer to recognize the file she needed to 'C\users '.

    Now, I have vCenter 5.5, with a new database and service WebClient is not configured correctly.  On the page where it asks to run under a local system account or a domain account, I've specified a domain account.  Well, the field is not the name of the server so I knocked on the server.local domain name FULL instead of the server's FULL domain name.  Now when I visit the URL of the web service client it says it cannot connect to vCenter he's trying to access the domain.local not server.domain.local.

    VMWare support tells me I have vCenter UNINSTALL and reinstall to fix.  This is ridiculous.  They try to tell me there is no other way to change this setting.  Are you kidding me?

    Ideas of the community?  VMWare help was very helpless in front of this whole situation.

    Thank you

    It turns out that this error during installation is created by the presence of one! my user name.  Support said they will include a fix for this in a future release.  They also said the errors generated during installation could be ignored.  Everything seems not to work regardless of errors generated during the installation process (simple installation).

    Don't ask me the procedures step by step that I did, but I finally success!  I uninstalled Palm Desktop and started from scratch.  I unplugged the Hot Sync cradle by the USB port, then I installed Palm Desktop from my drive and then update Palm Desktop on the Palm for Palm M125 site.  It still does not, I manually added a port and manually changed to COM1.  I then pressed the Hot Sync button and in the Device Manager, a folder has become available "device named" with Palm Desktop as a subfolder.  It is always active, I updated my computer for Palm USB driver.  Miraculously it worked.  Thanks for your help, but as usual everything it needed, it was patience and trial and error to solve the problem, since it does not seem to be a quick fix related this topic.

  • My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

    Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

    Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

    What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

    For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

    One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

    Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

    Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

    See the next WD re: Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials

  • Why the books are grouped and preinstalled with the operating system?

    It's complaints

    My Portege has Windwosw Vista. I didn't want to buy Vista, but they were only selling with him and no other choice was possible to purchase.

    First of all, my laptop had problems to install Windows updates. I could not connect my institution's Internet System. I had to reinstall the system again.
    It's a waste of time!

    After re-installation of the button for the sound on the outside Panel does not work correctly.

    Also, when I try to stop the laptop sometimes it restarts itself - he doesn't stop!

    Secondly, I had a problem with the laptop, when an opportunity to visit a well-known site, it serves to block itself.
    Once, when he is blocked, I had to restart and its screen remained black. They took for repair. It was delivered later - repaired, but with a defect on the screen!
    What a... workers!

    When I bought this laptop he had an offer with the update of Vista with Windows 7 after their release.
    Wonderful. But just note, Toshiba has the highest price of the offer, compared to its competitors - 30 (or £) against 15 for others, which of course I'm not going to pay.

    I already paid for Vista, which is incredible, and I knew, but I had not choice not to buy!

    All right, so there is still competition in the market, several possibilities are present - install Windows cracked, switch to Linux or just buy an Apple!

    Please, take this comment seriously! And please, stop with group buying, no matter what the benefit is. It won't work for long.

    Hi mate

    Fact is that most of the laptop manufacturers sell the computer and laptop computer with a preinstalled operating system. So I wouldn't blame Toshiba or other brands for which

    You get a new computer/laptop with a new OS.
    During the past 20 years, Microsoft released 3.0 Win, Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, W2k, Win XP, Win ME, Vista and Win 7, I remember that all my computers or laptops were grouped with these operating systems

    Toshiba offers the notebook with a clean image and you can also create a recovery disk (so don t need to buy anything if you need t n)
    Of course, each of us can install a clean OS, but there are a lot of people who are happy with such image pre-installed because everything is pre-installed and configured.

    Many people have no knowledge of computer wide and are really recognizing that everything is pre-installed and the configuration does not have a lot of time

    With regard to the question of the laptop;
    What to say; you had a bad luck that something was wrong with the laptop. This can still happen that my new LCD TV other manufacturer, was dead after two weeks, I called ASP, then replaced the screen now is ok

  • Must the updates and hot fixs remain on the hard drive after having been loaded? Is the information provided in the operating system?

    Must the updates and hot fixs remain on the hard drive after having been loaded?  Is the information provided in the operating system? Or do the lonely stand.

    Original title: need for disk space

    Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

    All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

    I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

    Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

    In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

    My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

    I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

    Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

  • System was originally shipped with Windows 7, I had fixed it, but the operating system has been changed to XP. Can I use the product key on the side to reinstall Windows 7?

    Reinstalling windows 7 after re-start of windows xp

    I bought my Asus computer came with windows 7 installed, earlier this year, I encountered a problem with the blue screen to come and I was unable to fix it, when I had my computer repaired they changed the operating system to windows xp, I was wondering if with registration # or whatever is on the side if I could download and reinstall Windows 7

    If the product key on the side of your machine is for Windows 7 and where-ever you guessed it "repaired" installed Windows XP - the real question becomes where they got a product key for Windows XP?

    You have the installation media for the copy of Windows 7 OEM which is preinstalled on your computer?

    If not - you will probably need to contact Asus (this laptop?) over media restore and/or check to see if the "repair" left any which restoration method should have been used intact.

    Hello

    These are forums for Vista, so vista information is provided

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
