How will I know that my product key is if I can't read the label

I need to clean and reload Windows XP Home Edition on my netbook because of spyware and viruses., but I can't read the product key on the label

because it is worn off the coast or rub off from sweat or use. Is there a way to find this key else where?

Which might be good now that you mention it!

Mike - contact your manufacturer!  No your netbook came with an XP installation CD authentic?

It can also have a built recovery partition that would set your system to an out of the box condition.

I am out of touch with the world of OEM... and would rather make you in the eye with a sharp stick that ever consider to reinstall.

Sorry for the confusion.

  • How will I know if a product key for xp has been activated yet

    Hi I recently bought a copy of windows xp pro and what he was going to install on my laptop that I'm on vista, it is an authentic copy from what I understand, but before starting the installation, I need to know if the product key has been activated yet, is it possible to tell? Thank you all

    Simply call Microsoft on the toll free number: 1800-936-5700.

    Give them the product key, and they will tell you if it has been used for activation aldready and if it has been blocked.

    Also give them the part number of the Windows XP disk and they will tell you if what drive it is. (OEM, retail). and they can also tell you if the product key will match and work with the disk.

    Do that before you start the installation, train them if the disk and product key do not match, you will be stuck.

  • How will I know that my system has been compromised by typing "Netstat" in the menu run?

    I ran a few patches to enable or download the full version of the software. I read that crackers/Hackers instill Trojan horses to any system by doing this. When I type "Netstat" in the run menu and click on "Enter". Netstat.exe presents a set of IP addresses from a local or foreign address. So connections are made! Should I be afraid? Is it a matter of worry? (Trying to figure out I look at the image as an attachment).

    If it is, then what to do? Note, I have my Windows Firewall on! Expert advice is preferable. Just get the load off of me, please! Oh, my system is not stuck. She seems to be ok. In addition, how can I know my system is compromised or something? I use Windows Media Center Pro v x 64 bit 8. Antivirus: Windows Defender [not updated].

    If the firewall cannot stop H/Crackers, what are the use of that? I use Home Network, I share all of the files or folders. What do you mean, Dr. Watson? If my system is very vulnerable to Hackers/Crackers, should what steps I follow?

    Please, be specific. Have you looked at the attached picture? What did he say? Is it a matter of worry? When I connected to the internet, these connections were established immediately or via the [unknown] servers. Please talk Netstat.exe and image I have uploaded.

    You can follow as easily as everyone down the owners of a given IP address.  This isn't a problem with Microsoft if you infected or infested with your machine.  ;-)
     
    Start plugging the IP addresses at the end of this in a browser...

  • How will I know that I turned on Windows Defender?

    How will I know that I turned on Windows Defender?

    Hello, welcome.

    If please, go to the flag in the task bar and click on it, click Open Action Center, expand the chevron of security, spyware / malware protection-click see installed antispyware programs and you'll see it there. Don't forget that you have an antivirus, I'd say you Microsoft Security Essentials to http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ , just click on this link. Note that if you install MSE, it will turn off Windows Defender by default.

  • Laptop had a problem to "Solve a problem with PSIKey", solution from Windows & installed according to the instructions. How will I know that the problem is solved?

    has stopped working properly.

    An update is available that solves this problem.

    Downloaded Update site Web Protexis, Inc. and told to follow the steps in the installation wizard. The file downloaded and said he was setting up installation. Then after a few seconds, the box has disappeared and nothing else happened. How will I know if this problem has actually been resolved? My laptop has shown 6 problems with this unit from 30/07/11-08/12/11, where the unit has stopped working. Because I don't know what it is yet, I don't know really if the problem is solved or not. What should I do at this point? I have a SP2 7520-5185, running Vista Home Premium, Acer-Aspire. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    If you have installed a trial or paid a licensed version of Corel software products, you probably may notice a third unannounced software application makes its way into your computer too. The program is PSIService.exe by Protexis, which installs a Protexis V2 of Licensing Windows operating system service or Protexis licensing service.

    PSIService belongs to protect DRM (digital rights management) copy protection and license management software, which is intended to protect an application or software against piracy and illegal copying. Thus PSI service is normally installed by another program, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X 2, Corel Paint Shop Pro XI (X 1), Corel Paint Shop Pro X, that uses its service to collect information of license to repatriate much like spyware, protect copy and authenticate the user who is using an authentic version of the program.

    When you tried to download and install the program, if the box that says closed the dialog box when the download is complete has been verified, it will close the dialog box.

    I suggest that you restart the computer and check if you get an error message.

  • How will I know that my hard drive is when it starts to work by itself?

    I'm going to step away from my computer for a while, maybe just to read for half an hour, and then I noticed that the drive works.  How will I know what he does? I want to really just to ensure that some spyware or something malicious does not on my computer!

    It is likely that the indexing or defrag or some other service is running. You can use the Task Manager to check. [Press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC as a way to start it.]

    For what is something wicked (you never know with certainty what 'they' might do), make sure that your antivirus software is up-to-date. Install a good as a basis for security from Microsoft (free) or Kapersky (not free). Also run a check by MalwareBytes (free version) or another alternastive good.

    Don't forget, everything simply because you're not paranoid doesn't mean that nobody is trying to "help".

    I'm kidding a bit. All the best.

  • How will I know that my computer is in the background?

    My computer is obviously something in the background as I hear it working, but I don't do anything in front of my computer and did not do anything.  How will I know what he does?  Could this be a virus?  How will I know?  I am running Windows 7.  I have Kaspersky anti virus 2013, but he says that it is up-to-date.  I looked at windows update, and he says that he has no significant update available.  So, update kaspersky and windows do not seem to do anything.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

  • How will I know if my mini ipod 4th generation is in charge? The blinking not solid.

    How will I know if my Mini Ipod 4th generation is in charge.

    I plugged it in - the blinking not solid.

    It's an iPod shuffle, right?  Small place with design clip - on and no screen...

    Blinking light means DO NOT DISCONNECT, because the iPod disk is mounted by the system.  EJECT iPod (in iTunes) before physically disconnect the iPod.  If you eject , but leave it connected, the light becomes solid.  (Yellow or green) light means OK TO DISCONNECT.  When it is yellow, the battery charge.  When it is green, the battery is fully charged.

    NOTE: In the normal conditions of use, flashing light is always yellow; It's supposed to be a warning.  It does not indicate the State of the battery; never it flashes green.

  • How will I know that the Windows Xp pro product key is already registered or not before you buy

  • How will I know that my Windows product key is if one on the sticker that is located on the computer does not seem to work?

    You want more details. For two hours I answered all the questions that ask you that. And still no support. You up to the date of this laptop, every day at 03:00, so don't tell me the product key, which is on the back of this box is incorrect. Or that it is not the country I say. Just send me what is on the back of this box, which I paid too much for in the first place.

    We are not Microsoft. We are volunteers who give of our spare time to help people. Complain about Microsoft is a waste of time. We are in the same boat as you when it comes to most of the problems and not more control or access that you have to do.

    A product key is not in the box where everyone can see.  It is a sequence of alphanumeric 25 digit of 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes for the operating system.  If this is the original installation, the key will be on a label on the underside of the laptop.  It has been upgraded or purchased as a product of the retail (suggested by saying you that you have a box), then the product key for the product to the retail sales would have been on a piece of paper inside the box.  The product key on the label of the laptop would have been crushed (which would have been in the computer would have been product key from the manufacturer that could not be used to enable or provide proof) by installing the retail or upgrade.  Microsoft has no idea what is your product key regardless of the case - even if you bought them (unless it was by a download and then you should have an email from their share with the product key to this topic).

    If this is not a problem of activation or re-installing and that you have installed and activated the product yourself, try of Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and see if the product key, it reveals work best of all what you use now.
