• After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Original title: Vista Activation issue

  After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

  and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

  such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

  I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

  It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

  I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

  Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

  I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

  It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

• MS thinks that my version of Windows 7 is not genuine

  Hello - two questions:

  Question n ° 1

  I use an old computer that came preloaded with Windows (don't remember version).  At one point, I had a problem and by the contract of service, that I bought, a tech person came to do a fresh install of Windows on my computer.  He installed Windows 7 Pro 64 (only gives me a key code) and my problem was solved. Except that, since then, whenever I boot, I get an error message indicating that my version of Windows is not genuine.  I close the window and go on w / my work.

  So far, I want to buy and install Windows 10.

  From my research, MS recommends upgrade Windows 7 to the latest version before you install Windows 10, but of course I can't do that, since MS reads my Windows 7 as not being not not authentic.

  Question n ° 2

  I would buy Windows 10 and be able to install it not only on my 'old' office, but also on many laptops, we have at home.  I know that the office is sold on a 'per computer' basis, but is this also the case with Windows 10?  In other words, if I buy the product (on the media, not through download), I'll be able to do an installation of several computer?  These laptops are now running Windows 7.

  A big thank you to all who can offer help.

  God bless you!

  It's unfortunate, but it seems you missed the bus. Until the end of July 2016 you could buy a copy of Windows 10 to replace the non-genuine version on your desktop. You could have improved your other PCs for free. This offer has now expired, and you need to buy a copy for each PC. Because Windows 7 is fully supported until January 2020, you might consider to leave things as they are. Windows 7 is a very good and stable operating system.

  In the future, make sure you get a valid product key when getting a new product installed. It is not acceptable to tolerate the persistent error messages.

• My computer is saying that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Use the product key from the old system and the other of Belarc advisor

  Original title : My computer says my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Help?
  I got Windows 7 before on my old computer, but I made a new and tried to use the same code and its saying my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine and my only options are to buy a new one, but I can't do it, and I don't see why I should.

  -J' used Belarc Advisor and key code, it shows me as worth.

  Windows product ID: 00371-OEM-8992671-00524
  Windows product ID type: 2
  Windows license Type: OEM SLP

  
  
  Your windows is only valid on the computer, it was originally installed on. It cannot be transferred.
  You can buy a full windows installation on your motherboard retail retail.
  EDIT: added more information.

  ) SLP OEM: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

• I want to know why when I go to help update v 12.0 every time, I get a message says that my version is up to date, when I know that a new version (16.0.2) came out?

  This happens everytime I go to the update function (tools/help/to what Firefox/check updates). Given that the version I use (12.0) is sometimes gel and refusing to load pages effectively (requires a Firefox stop and restart), and I know that starting with version 15.0, this issue has been resolved to a large extent, I understand not why the update function refuses to see the new version and update that this program has ALWAYS been in the past. Something is wrong and I need to know why this happens.

  It could be that the internal update has been corrupted. Try just go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 16.0.2

• Since the update to iTunes 12.4.1.6 I don't see my purchased music. When I try to import my old playlists I get a message saying that the library is not a valid iTunes library. Thus, thousands of songs and hundreds of films and I can't see or play one.

  Since the update to iTunes 12.4.1.6 I don't see my purchased music. When I try to import my old playlists I get a message saying that the library is not a valid iTunes library. Thus, thousands of songs and hundreds of films and I can't see or play one. I see my movie library where it is stored on an external hard drive, but my music was on my iMac.

  Where all the playlists gone and why didn't appear my entire music library? I checked the preferences and iTunes points to the correct folder, BUT only my music purchased appears...

  Same thing happened to me. I tried to replace iTunesLibrary.itl with an older copy, but that has not worked. Then I tried to return a version by resetting the Time Machine's iTunes app, but it would allow me to edit or delete iTunes because it is part of Mac OS X.

  So, I can not sync my iPad or iPhone, update all apps or find my music, that is, the course of the odf, still on my hard drive. ITunes just can't see the library.

  The difficulty of this Apple.
