    Then I plugged the USB and came Nabaiji MP3 icon.

    Because of the music I have on Windows Media Player, being much more 2 GB, I followed the depth in Windows Media Player instructions to synchronize the music chosen on the unit as follows:

    1. I made a playlist and title it.

    2. I sync to the device list.

    3. it will still play music on the device.

    Original title: How can I get the lone original on my XP, I tried the suggestions, do not work I have 9 recovery disks

    I want just a copy of the card game solitaire original supplied with my XP.  It has completely disappeared from my computer.  I don't have a recovery disk.  However, I copy the files loaded from the purchase, there are 9 CD with this recovery info.  I don't know how to find the program.

    How do you have

    Copy the files loaded from the purchase

    The file you're looking for is sol.exe and it should be in C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (because it is one of the files monitored by the Windows File Protection).

    If you have a C:\i386 folder, you can develop C:\i386\sol.ex_ sol.exe using the EXPAND command in a command prompt window.

    It's

    (Start > run > cmd > OK)

  • How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

    Product key for reinstallation question

    I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

    PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

    If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

  • Trying to enter the product key

    I entered the product key correctly but when I hit the enter button its not available so I can't do anything. What can I do? It's not even say whether its wrong or not the option to continue or enter is not available when I get in there.

    Hello Nicole Hollins.

    The product key on the bottom of the computer is for the operating system of the computer not for an Office product.
    Some computers come preinstalled with a trial version of Office that is usually 60 to 90 days. However, if you wish to continue using
    an Office product, you need to buy Office 2007 from a store online or in a retail store. to get the product key code. It will be on the box or the CD cover.

    To buy online, you can click here for a link to the Microsoft Store: http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Office-Compare-Office-2010-Suites/category/213
    They will e-mail your product key.

    I hope this helps.
