Meanwhile, I'm 13 days until it stops working due to not be enabled. Help?  I really need to continue to use this product for my home business. It works very well not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 days more if I don't get activated, and none of the activation methods that they list seem to work.

  Assuming that you have chosen not to keep your programs and your files (it certainly seems like that) - then you will need to install Microsoft Office from your installation media using your product key.

• Upcoming games with Windows 7 will not work on Presario SR1020NX. Upgrade Advisor said that W7 would work with the exception of the Aero

  W7 Upgrade Advisor said it would work with the exception of Windows Aero.  When the games to try to come with W7 get window 'game running in software rendering... '. Hardware acceleration disabled or not supported by the video card driver"games will not work. A check says last drivers are installed.  Tried to reinstall WXP in separeat partition to see if would work like that but will not because most recent W7.

  I suggest that you use XP personally gave a computer which is so old.

  If you have a computer with XP (3 + years) and have not changed at least two of these things (CPU, RAM, video card), you should probably stick with XP. Not worth the headache of praying that things work with a material more old which probably is no longer supported on the new OS.
  Usually, people that the computer was shipped with Vista 1, 2 or less it several years ago can be upgraded to 7 without too much trouble if it was a mid-range machine.

  In addition, it seems that Windows is not recognizing your graphics card. It looks like (http://www99.shopping.com/xPO-Hewlett-Packard-SR1020NX-CEL2-8-512-80-COM-XPH) you have an Intel Extreme graphics card. However, nothing about it is extreme. Since it is an extreme Intel card I guess Windows Update should find the drivers for you, but it is not then maybe the video card is just too outdated for 7? I'm not sure.

  Moreover, I wouldn't worry much about the lack of updates for XP right now. If ever you encounter more money then get the new computer with 7 on it, but at this time I suggest you stay on XP if your hardware and software actually works and that is more important than a few features of 7.

  A registry cleaner or any third party Cleanup utility was run on your system?

  You are in the habit of using "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic;) System Mechanic; RegCure; RegClean Pro. Advanced SystemCare 5; Registry Booster; McAfee QuickClean. AVG PC TuneUp. Norton Registry Cleaner; PCTools optimizer; SpeedUpMyPC; Advanced System Optimizer. TuneUp Utilities; WinMaximizer; WinSweeper; Comodo System Cleaner. CCleaner,)?

  Moreover, these registry cleaner programs are snake oil.

  They don't help and can cause problems, so try to avoid them.

  When you open the firewall applet Windows (firewall.cpl) and click on the Advanced tab, the following error message may appear:

• I received a call today from someone who claims to be from windows

  Hello

  my antivirus expired a few days ago and since my pc has been slow and does not start on a number of occasions so update internet security was already a priority, but today I got a call to the United Kingdom from a woman who sounded Asian. My phone reception was poor and I could barely hear what she was saying half the time, but she said he was calling from windows and said that my PC is downloading from several viruses that have access to my personal data and sending it. She told me to turn on my pc so that she could show me where to lay the problem and how to solve it, she said also that I had been sent a message windows or a warning. I told her 3 or 4 times that I had not had my laptop available, claiming that it was in my car of partners before the message finally seemed to sink, she asked what would be the right time to call me back and I said after 18:00 Fortunately, I am familiar with remote access facilities and became suspicious immediately when told she was calling from windows and therefore , I'm not going to follow other instructions later today it must call back - surprisingly seems to have no message or alerts Windows as she claimed - I just hope that others are on their guard against scams like this.
  Thank you

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'. The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in

  Original title: ERROR REPORT FIX - HUMAN IT SOLUTIONS.

  Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'.  The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in and follow his instructions, as it was a very simple matter to deal with.  I typed in the flag of MS, "rt" track: this opened the window "run" in which I typed in 'eventvwr' followed by 'OK '.  This opened "Event Viewer".  At this point I told him I was not willing to go far and he didn't send me the "fix."  He said that his company had no authorization to send emails and our conversation ended.  I tried to inform Microsoft, but of course all their facilities help for XP are now US only and I couldn't find any way to inform them (I think they should know, and anyway, if it is a genuine appeal, it might be good to have).  Anyone got any ideas on the question of whether I have done the right thing or how to say MS?

  ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

  I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!
