Hi im doing a fresh install of xp, but when I get to the product id it says invalid... However I followed the steps to find the product key on the disk, I lost the sticker. any reason why this product key is not working? the hard drive is formatted and Ive tried several times now more double and triple check numbers etc, but still without success... dosent make any sence why he does not accept the product key, the computer is not connected to the internet (dose it have to be?) Please help
Not enough information, Andrew.
If you used a CD with a retail version of XP Home (you never did say what type of XP you had!) and if you carelessly lost the COA with the product key if you use magic Jellybean Finder or Belarc Advisor and if you faithfully transcribed the key and if you used the correct installation of new and correctly typed in the key CD (be careful not to confuse a) 8 with a B or a S with a 5, etc.), this method will not work.
But we do not know the brand and model of your PC. We do not know what method the manufacturer provided to return the PC to its original state. We do not know which method you have elected to use to perform the installation of "fresh".
In addition, it is impossible to find the product key on the disk (unless it's something like an OEM CD mark Dell that contains a golden master key, which of course cannot be used on a Dell PC!).
As far as we know is you formatted the hard drive. So, even in the cases where you were, at some point, installed a version valid retail XP home and really lost the COA/product key and otherwise might have found the key to product using the SDM or Belarc, erase you the key when you formatted the drive!
If you have purchased the commercial version and still have the receipt (proof of purchase), read this page:

I have an adobe Lightroom instaled on my computer... I bought a CD. What I have to buy Lightroom for my iphone or does it with her. I have the Lr app on my phone and it works but when I want to sync my photos, it says trial has expired...
LR mobile only works and comes with the basic version of subscription of LR for computers. Of course, you can download LR mobile on your iPhone and use for a 30 day trial, but once the 30 days it will stop working.
Right the trial period is 30 days unless you subscribe to the package of photographer.

I changed my computer and am trying to re - install PS elements 13.0 on Windows 10. When I type my license serial number, Adobe responds "he does not recognize this serial number. When I go to the serial number recovery service, first of all it tells me it is not a product registered with my name and when I type the serial number for the old serial numbers, the system responds to that serial number is alredady registered and cannot be registered twice. What needs to be done to get out of this problem of serial number? Thank you.
Hello Charles,
to check this, you should take a look at the Adobe database to see what is stored/recorded on your accounts. You will find general information on your account Adobe https://accounts.adobe.com/> see My productsView all the > these products are associated with your Adobe ID > name > serial number.
[And to find your serial number have a look here http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html > I've lost my serial number >] see comments.
The last time Adobe suggests so too this activation https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ZNA_downloading-installing-setting-up_licensing-

Disappearing Windows Apps but when I go to the store they always see the installed
When I arrived at the store of Windows apps I had on my tablet installed show but they do not appear on my screen of applications all or my splash screen. When I hit install it goes through the motions but does not appear in place of ELISA. Don't know what happened, but it's quite frustrating
Thanks for the reply. This number is different from come just released. If I go to all the apps apps that were once on my Tablet do not show, and when I search my tablet also does not show. But when I go to the store they show as installed on my surface. There is a Setup button I hit and it seems to go through the motions well with no errors but then when I go to all the applications that I tried to download is not found.
I thought that if I could find them I could delete and then reinstall after but I can't find them anywhere on my surface.
Well, I came across the answer. somehow my user profile folder has changed to hidden. I noticed that he was not and changed the properties and the boom that the missing applications are returned.

Hi, my trial version of Lightroom 5 has expired recently and I bought now fully. I downloaded the CD on my Mac, but when I open again the Lightroom application, it always says that the trial has expired. Does anyone know how I can update so I can finally use again? I appreciate really all help! Thank you!
Joanne, please remove your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom by using the uninstall program located in the/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
You will then want to download Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 of Adobe - Lightroom: for Macintosh. The update contains the entire application. Photoshop Lightroom cannot be installed through the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application and still be allowed with a serial number.

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008. When I get to the part where I should choose where the operating system is to be installed, it is blank. He told me 'No device found drivers. We see the SATA HDD in BIOS, and if I browse for the drivers, the driver is displayed. I used the command line packaged with the installer to format the drive, just to be sure. It is formatted in NTFS.

and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
Then, after installing XP install all device drivers, starting with the card mother/chipset drivers.
LAN, Audio, USB, SATA, etc, and so on.Note: If there is no XP driver listed, then your computer is not compatible Windows XP.

ORIGINAL TITLE: problem of update of Windows vista edition Home premium
I just bought a laptop Toshiba of ebay, in excellent condition, the operating system is windows vista Home premium and the system is X 86 based. I have no trouble getting security updates or anyothers with the exception of SP1. When I do a windows update installation, it is said it was installed successfully, but when you look at the list update installed, it doesn't stand and she also works not highlighted on the sys.info page. I have already run the windows update fix the tool several times, but it doesn't solve the problem. Also update keeps telling me to install the SP1 package. I think that the number on the pack is KB96330 (not sure but I'll check in a few minuets when I go home for lunch). What should I do to get SP1 + 2 installed?
.. .he had appeared as if it was handed to the way in which it left the factory.
Looks can be deceiving, especially for what it is bought on eBay.

Install XP instead of Vista
I tried to install XP in my laptop ASUS PRO31jr which currently has Vista Home Premium installed. I updated the BIOS first and changed the boot on CD/DVD order. Disk load bunch of drivers, then when it gets to the installation, said he cannot find a previous version of windows installed on the computer and calls for an XP Home edition (full version), or a CD of XP Professional (full version). The CD I have is XP Professional Academic Edition version 2002. RHE booklet supplied with the disc seems to indicate that this is the full version, and I successfully used to clean install on XP. Is the drive of my problem? I would appreciate a difinative answer if anybody out there knows for sure. Goodwich.If the message "Setup cannot find a previous version of Windows installed on the computer", you have an upgrade version that requires Windows XP Home Edition installation.
