• How can I activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional? When I try it says: "activation could not be completed right now online.

  original title: How can I activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional?

  Hello

  I wonder if there is another way to activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional, because when I try to activate via the activate Windows

  Assistant, all I get is a message saying that the 'online activation could not be completed at this time. "

  Its weird because this is the first time I met this kind of problem after format and do a clean install of Windows XP in which, incidentally, I do

  every year since 2006. (This is to keep my computer and working properly).

  And also, if I tried to validate my copy of Windows XP by using Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 8, but I keep getting "Validation failed".

  Any ideas what could possibly cause this? coz I already formatted my computer three times since yesterday in the hope that it could solve the problem, but with no luck.

  I hope someone could help me with this.

  Thank you and happy holidays to all.

  See you soon!

  Hello

  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  Tricky

• After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  original title: the customer service is horrible

  After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

  I called last night and got a foreign person has attempted to resolve the issues and could not, so he told me that I had to call back after 06:00 to speak to someone in the United States.
  So I called back today at 06:00 and got one of those who are running around things voice control that didn't fix my problem at all. After much effort, I got a live person. Again, it was a foreign person (why make me wait all night and get up early to call?!?!)
  This woman told me to restart. I told her that I had rebooted about 10 times since the day before and each time he took forever to load back up the box that tells me that I need to activate windows. She has reiterated, "I ask you to restart." I knew he wouldn't do ANYTHING, but I did and after the session it forever (as I told him it would be) she told me that I had to remind once I got up the box again. I called after that I got the box AND HAD TO START OVER again ONCE with someone new. Of course, she was trying to pass me to someone else.
  Of course, after all this trouble, no MS sells a product key for Vista, it is abandoned. So I need to go buy Windows 7 and she told me that I'll LOSE EVERYTHING when I install it - all my documents and family photos are gone forever. Why not take my money and sell me a product key instead of let me in trouble?
  The worst ever undertaken. Of course, MS doesn't care because they have a monopoly.

  You should not need to buy anything except the recovery disc for your machine (if the built-in recovery partition does not work), unless you really need Win 7 for some reason any.

  That being said - the COA sticker on your machine is readable? If Yes, then you should have no problem with a Windows 7 upgrade version - but you will need to either use activation by phone, or installation methods described here...

• where to buy a genuine copy of windows 7?

  beside amazon.com since they receive ridiculous with prices of windows 7

  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium $248,99

  you are fk kidding me?

  so they can't even guarantee that what you buy from them is actually authentic
  and from the amazon comments, it seems that a lot of people get off rip
  dishonest sellers who like to advertise fake copy of windows 7
  with a home activation key stickers

  I wonder if there are other legitimate places online
  where can I buy a genuine copy of windows 7
  carefree scammed or receive a phone call from the FBI for using counterfeit software

  What of it?

  You can visit CDW.com, Tiger Direct and new eggs.

  You should give up on the retail packaging, because they will carry a premium.

  OEM packages are recommended.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

• Can I put a non-genuine copy of windows to a genuine copy of Windows 8 Pro?

  Now before anyone starts to judge I want to give some context as to what happened.

  I bought the upgrade Windows 8 Pro pack which was a student offered to host my new hybrid hard drive. I installed on my previous Vista hard drive and I noticed that I was required to install the pack to upgrade the disk with a previous version of Windows. Therefore, I decided install Windows 8 Pro Vista hard disk and clone new hard disk.
  The cloning went perfectly. However, when I entered the hard drive containing the Windows 8 Pro clone, it did not allow my turn and in Device Manager it does appear that the system. There is also a Build number located at the bottom right of my desktop screen. Think I should reinstall windows from scratch, I proceed to the real system command (the one containing Vista previously which is now upgraded to Windows 8 Pro) and decided to reinstall windows in the control panel and wipe all readers.
  I quickly realized that this is a mistake, because when I boot into the previously-Vista drive, reinstalling Windows 8 became a trial version instead (with XXXX to build lower-right again). In regards to the cloned drive, the error starting screen (that require you to reinstall windows because of lack of boot configurations).
  I lost the disc Vista it long time ago and I don't have the box of windows with me more. I copy down the so-called activation key but it's one with xxxxx-OEM-xxxx. Before this script together, under my computer properties, the product key seems to be forever in a State of "2 days before automatic activation" and when I click on it, he said: I'm unable to activate this product key.
  So that being said, I was wondering if I could just download and run a picture of a non-genuine copy of Windows in order to start a new installation (ie. choose with windows installation disk and reformat the drive containing the windows build demo).
  Thank you.

  I just decided to hell with it and contacted Microsoft technical support for assistance.

  Managed to activate my windows and things work fine now.
  Thanks for the comments without worrying about all of you who responded and sorry for taking your time.

• Buy this CD XP Pro will give me a product key that I can use to authenticate a non-genuine copy of Windows XP?

  My father-in-law has an old PC running Windows XP Pro SP2.  The PC itself is not among the major manufacturers and has had so many bits of kit has changed over the years (HD, motherboard, CD/DVD) that what it says on the tour is more accurate!  Some freelance computer programmer he updated this from Windows 98, and it ran fine until that MS has started running this configuration of authentication, when he discovered that he had a copy of dud (new for him, as he had been charged for a good!)  Obviously, he'd make his valid on the MS site copy, but that's all an expensive route - his PC is less value that they would him deducted, and it is shared as to whether it's bin and buy a new computer... but since he does whatever he wants, and it would be embarrassing to share, he would prefer just to fix this.

  I came across this on Ebay, which seems to offer a play version of XP Pro, for a price considerably lower than MS would charge him.

  http://CGI.eBay.co.UK/window-XP-Professional-win-Pro-SP3-full-OEM-Version_W0QQitemZ330389402931QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_Software_Software_SR?hash=item4cecbe3533

  Is it possible to make its valid copy of XP thanks to this road without HAVING to re - install using the new disc?  I ask because, despite read a lot of entries here, I still don't know fully the implications of retail vs OEM drives, and indeed, I've seen a few rows erupted between experts on the Board about how it's important.  And if it works in principle, it is important that the drive for sale contains the SP3 and it is still on SP2 (because he can't use WIndows Update because it has not got a genuine copy!)?

  Hoping you can help.

  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
