• can't activate windows xp with the product key that came with the computer

  I got a computer of 510N HP Pavilion from a friend who was absolutely riddled with viruses and malware of all kinds.  Every thing I did to clarify apparently nowhere got done or made it worse.  At the end of the day, the computer would only begin to restart, stop after the start of the HP logo screen, then start to boot, etc and more.  All I could do was to install the hard drive in another computer and format, from scratch.  Now, I'm trying to install the system to XP op for the disc that came with the computer.
  the problem: the code the product key on the case went wrong with the disc.  After searching for solutions, I found a code on the disk by searching the files it contains, tried and it worked!  Problem is when I try to turn it on, it says it's an "unauthorized product key."  I tried to enter that code on the box and who says he is "invalid".  The Cd look authentic; are for distribution with new pc HP and Compaq.  After a further inspection drives are XP Professional SP2, while if it is XP Home Edition.  What gives?  Activation does not anyway. It is any use that will not make me buy a new set of disks?

  Please let me know if more info or detail is necessary.

  PS - only a single piece of hardware has been changed - the cdrom initially provided with the computer was bad, so I went out to perform the installation.

  When you perform a restore to the factory on some HPs condition you have two choices: 1) a restoration which keeps your data and programs (in a repair installation); (2) a full destructive restore which brings back the machine to the State, it's when you first opened the box. In your case, you have already wiped the drive, so the question is moot. I would call the HP technical support. Normally when you use an OEM recovery media (HP, Dell, etc.) a product key is never required during the restore. If you have used the media to restore HP shipped with your system and are always asked for a key and one on the sticker machine is not accepted, then something is certainly. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Windows Vista on HP recovery, my current vista said that it isn't legal (it's that came with the computer)

  I intend to recover windows vista on my HP Pavilion DV4 - 1400. For some reason any my current vista said that it isn't legal (it's that came with the computer) I have not changed the operating system. My key of vista down my computer is damaged. If I perform my vista recovery provided with the recovery drive, this will solve the problem? The recovery process will be asking for a cd key, because as I said above that on my laptop is damaged.

• Trying to backup Outlook Express on an external hard drive, the process fails.

  I tried to backup my Outlook Express. Following the instructions of Microsoft works fine - until I try to copy the backup to an external drive! The copy procedure goes haywire when you copy the local files. It gets stuck, then the rest of the time continued to increase (I stopped when he arrived at the 20 hours!)

  If this backup will not help me, if I need to move my mail to another computer!

  Any suggestions?

  Unless you find a new Vista somewhere, your new machine will be Windows 7 and who do not use Windows Mail, nor that come with an email program. Windows Live Mail is the 'replacement' for OE and WinMail, but I don't care for him, me and use Thunderbird. So that leaves you with a few different options.
   
  One thing you could do is to download Windows Live Mail now and see if you like it. You can use the side of Windows Mail, make sure just that both have this game.
   
  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
   
  In a program only, check to delete messages after X days to meet your space, you get your server, but still give yourself time to get messages in both programs. If you do this, then all you have to do is backup WLMail and transferring to the new machine.

  Create Windows folders in My Documents or elsewhere. One for each folder in WinMail. Open WinMail and in a folder, select all the messages (Ctrl + A) and drag them to the new folder of Windows. They will always be in WinMail, but these copies can be moved to folders in Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird and many other customer e-mail.

• Can I move my current operating system that came with the computer on a new hard drive?

  My family got a hp pavilion m7560n some time ago.  Last weekend I heard on that clicking sound from the hard drive I think.  Since then, I only heard once or twice.  All that I know is that clicking may mean the hard drive is defect or on the way that him.   However I don't know if this is the case if the sound starts and stops.

  I want to know if I can format a new hard drive to replace the one provided with the system and always keep the same format as on the system when it was new.  I mean here the operating system and all other programs who came to this topic.  The recovery that are made to work for this computer discs may work on a new drive hard format if it is put in place of the system?

  Or are otherwise free to carry the operating system and other programs on a new hard drive.

  The hard disk provided with the system's 320 GB, I have one that is 500 GB.

  Hi logicman77,

  the recovery discs are meant to be exactly for this purpose.  You can put in a new drive hard (500 GB is fine), and the discs will reinstall XP, as well as all software provided on them.

  The computer will look like it did the day you took it out of the box.  This document will give you details on the implementation of the recovery: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07145

• Try installing windows xp pro (not original disc) using the cd key that came with the computer and it tells me that it is invaild. Why?

  Both xp pro... dunno why its not working, worked prior to this installation. Same model, same format, reinstall installation routine... not working do not. Help, please

  If you have an OEM of XP Pro product key version and a CD of XP Pro retail, which will not work because they must be of the same type of XP Pro.

  If both the key product AND the installation CD are for the same type of XP Pro (otherwise, they are all two OEM or they are two retailers), so you just need to be very careful when you enter the 25-character product key, be careful not to confuse an 8 with a B, a 5s etc.

• I have lost my Windows XP Professionsla installation disc that came with computer and I see the message asking me to insert disk 3 to reinstall the files. What should I do?

  I lost the Windows Professional disc that came with the computer. I get a pop up requires me to insert the disc 3 of which I don't have the installation disc. Even if I try to do a system restore I need the disk. I can't lose information that is on the computer and do not have an external drive. What should I do?

  There is no disc 3 of Windows XP Professional.  Windows XP (other Media Center if I remember well) was a CD.

  Please copy the message down verbatim - including the title bar - and who post here.

  You can move this pop-up window on the side and also do all the following - in the order given anything of it periodically, you're already doing...

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:
