Had to reboot the computer because of a virus and now only have a trial version?

I bought windows 7 Home premium online, installed it about 6 months back, but meanwhile, I got a virus and had to reset my windows 7, however I do turn on a trial and do not have the product key on a cd, because I did it online... Is there anyway that I can get in touch with Microsoft about this? I use the same laptop and same windows 7, just the product key, I can't seem to get. I have the bank details and address, I used to buy Windows 7, this means if you need to reset your windows 7, you must also purchase a new license key, even if your still using the same laptop?

Thank you

    The anti-phishing protection and malware that Firefox uses checks against a list of websites that have been reported to contain a form of malware and then alerts you. Firefox itself does not scan files to see if they contain viruses/malware. You still need a form any anti-virus and anti-malware protection. You must also use a firewall.

  • Can restore the computer to an earlier date and now get on the desktop.

    I went to use the computer yesterday and it updated. HP laptop with windows 8.1. Then it says update failed. Today I tried to restore to a different date and it failed. Today, I tried again and came back a month. I only have windows 8 and mechanic system on it. I use to connect remotely to work. Now, when I restart it goes to a system recovery option and I have no date to select.  He asks for recovery disk, but I did not. What are my options

    I had a similar problem. I updated my computer to windows vista 7 and wanted to go back but could not not because vista wasn't a registered earlier version. Then I accidentally deleted my slui and rundll.exe and couldn't get them back because there was no previous version. Given that I have not configured a backup, I couldn't restore the computer to its previous versions or any folder.

    The only way for you to restore is if you had implemented a backup and took the opportunity to finish the backup. The backup must be on an external drive, because when you configure a backup for PC, it requires an external backup. In my case, no backup copy has been implemented. If you remember where the backup was the installation, it is what she wants.

    Since you say that there is no recovery disk, I would contact with via phone, Microsoft to see if you can return to windows 8, 8.1 No.

    As an alternative, if you look at the underside of your laptop, or on the side of your PC, you will find the product code.

  • I restored the computer to an earlier date and now the password windows 7 won't save us.

    I restored my computer to girls at an earlier date, and now the password windows 7 won't save us. She never changed the password before and now we cannot connect. How to do it please help.

    I restored my computer to girls at an earlier date, and now the password windows 7 won't save us. She never changed the password before and now we cannot connect. How to do it please help.

    This means that a different password was in effect at this point, even if your daughter thinks otherwise. There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
    The most important point would be: run a machine without a spare admin account is about as risky to have a house key. Sooner or later, he is at risk for any number of reasons.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  • bought Vista Ultimate and had to restore the computer to factory

    I need to be able to load ultimate on the same machine but have no software disc.

    * original title - I bought Vista Ultimate and had to reset the computer to factory vista and I did via down load. Is it possible to recover the Ultimate. I bought three different times, and I have my license info. *

    Hello
     
     
    I would ask you to contact the Microsoft customer service to get the installation disk. After installation, you can use the same license key that you purchased to activate Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Or you can also contact the website from which you downloaded the Windows vista ultimate.

    See the article below for more information.

  • Does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program?

    Original title: does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program? Which option is it on Vista? Hit reboot? Or off, wait and then start up?

    I was told that if you add or remove a prgram, after it installs you need to 'reboot '.

    Is this true?

    Does this mean that, after the program is installed, you must reach the restart button? Or press 'stop' and then again wait a minute and then be able to save the PC?

    Hello

    Often an installation or uninstallation of will need to reboot to complete and it never hurts except for the
    time it takes.

    A reboot is usually sufficient.

    I hope this helps.

    I recently had to rebuild the computer and reinstalled the photos.  I have photos imported into Lightroom, but the parameters associated with the photos, that is to say. When they were developed, are not there.  How to import these?

    Default LR stores all changes in the catalog file, not in the pictures. So if you have a backup of your original catalog you will need to copy on the newly rebuilt system and open it in LR. You will then need to recreate a link to the images in the catalog depending on where are your images and where the original LR catalogue think they are.

  • I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the camera to MacBookPro. Any ideas?

    I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?

    Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:

    - iOS: do not respond or does not light

    -Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test

    How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."

    -If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.

    -Try a different cable

    -Try on another computer
