I can't restore XP help with original CD discs

I bought a Dell PC used with XP installed.  There the sticker product key XP Home Edition on it as well as codes.  I recently lost Windows help when I have a third party a non-Windows program uninstall, and I don't know how to restore or correct the problem without the original CD.  Can someone direct me to a solution.

Hi Timothy,.

Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.
 
What exactly happens when you try to access it using Windows?
 
I suggest for the link and follow the steps in the article:
 
You cannot open the help and Support Center in Windows XP
To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
 
Hope this solves the problem.

  • crashed hard drive... need help with original windows 7 Home premium 64-bit on new h.d.

    a win 7 64bits h.p... a h.d. failure... installed a new h.d. which had vista (sp2) h.p. on and I want my windows 7 back... is there anyway to give the product I.D. is on the side of my Tower for the microsoft 7 windows that has crashed and I would like to download a copy on the new hard drive? IM wondering if I need a proof of ownership or what anyone like that I bought from a friend's computer and its probably not in my name... I was wondering if this is a problem major and if theres nothing I can do... maybe download a new copy and just enter the product ID I don't know... IM really not too tech saavy... any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

    So what you want to do is put windows 7 to replace windows vista on your new hard drive?

    Step 1: Download the ISO file.
    You will need a cache of DVD or a USB flash drive (3 GB or better), if you insert a DVD, then it will ask you if you want to use it with a DVD player or a usb flash drive. Check the box to a DVD player or something similar to this. With a flash drive, you don't have to worry about setting up or anything.
    Download the ISO of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.
    Be patient as it can take an hour to download on a medium speed wifi connection.
    Step 2: Burn the disk image to a DVD
    Now that you will burn the ISO on DVD once it's done. To do than go to where ever you downloaded the ISO on your computer and right-click on the ISO file. Now click on burn the disk image.
    Make sure your DVD is inserted. When asked what disc burner, select the drive that you inserted the DVD in. If you have only 1 DVD player you should have only 1 option. Now hit burn and go get coffee or something while you wait.
    Burn the image on a USB flash drive
    But if you don't have a DVD, you can always use a USB flash drive.
    You need to download Universal USB install 
    Now open universal USB install and it will ask you to choose a Linux distro. Keep scrolling down until you find "software based on other or non-linux".
    Select windows 7 Setup from there. Now step 2 hit browse and find where you downloaded the ISO image. Now, select your USB flash drive letter. It takes only 1 option. And click on create. And when it asks you if you want to format? Click Yes.
    DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR FLASH DRIVE PROBABLY ALL THAT FILES WILL BE DELETED IN THIS PROCESS
    Step 3: Boot from your DVD or USB
    Restart your computer, and while it loads the bios, it must be said somewhere boot options. And there will be a F1, F2, F3, or some F key to enter the boot options.
    After that, select the USB flash drive or a DVD drive to start. You will get to the windows installation and you can install windows 7.
    It will ask you your product key. It is in any way illegal.
  • Can someone - anyone - please help with printing LEGAL 81/2 "x 14" on a "5650


    It seems that you must be able to print legal paper, but you cannot do right now with the drivers for your printer. It's just?

    Well, my original suggestion is going to be use another driver, and one of my colleagues wrote a great post on how to do it:

    How to assign other print in different Versions... - drivers Support HP - 1957011 Forum

    Just in case you can not find the driver for 990c, you can also search the Deskjet 9800 driver as well.

    Let me know if this opens more compatibility for your printer and media possible!

  • skyzero can I get your help with the patch windows 7 for AOE II Expansion Weird Graphics

    Hello sky zero, I read your messages for audio fixed for AOE II Expansion Gold edition. You seem to be very clear and well informed. So far, I can't know if there is a patch to fix my problem of graphics (compatibility issues) between this game and Windows 7. When I was loading win 7, they said remove AOG he had some compatibility issues with win7 and re - install after. Everything I did. The game works and has sound but the graphics are very weird like the water red and sparse grass. I tried a number of resolutions but got no response. My question is simple. Microsoft has a patch because they knew it was a compatibility problem or not. If Yes, where can I find? If unknown, then who should I contact at Microsoft? Could not find even a Department there. It's all about AOG III. It's a completely different game format. Can you advise me please?

    Hi and thanks. I tried both methods - for compatibility between vista and XP compatibility. None worked. However, two of them each listed twice with different service packs, so I can run this test through each for each service pack. I go to the game site, but could not find information on windows 7. I know it's an old game, but it's one we love.

    I check in the device management control panel. It does not say anywhere the words 'Graphics Manager. It doesn't have a category name adapters with a thing called Intel (r) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family under him. That he would.  Further to the bottom of the list is also a place called IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. In this category, that it listed two channels 0, plus two channels of 1 listed plus two other things. They are: Intel (R) 82891G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage controllers and also Intel (r) 82891 GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C0. In the category ' computer, it says PC ACPI x 86. Other categories in the list include processors. In this category is two things. Both say the same thing - Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E7500 2.93 GHz Thre is a category called system devices and there are too many things to list. There is a category that says audio, video and game controllers. In this category, he said VIA High Definition Audio.  I'm sorry for the list of all this stuff. Any of these are the category that fits for agraphics card?  I'll also revisit the site of Microsoft for the game to check if they have a patch now.  Thank you.

  • Can you Adobe Acrobat help with import of tracking changes and comments in Microsoft Word and convert these annotations and comments in PDF format?

    I have a Word doc huge with more than 3,000 of the changes and comments to track changes. I hope that there is a way that Adobe Acrobat can simplify the conversion of annotations and comments of an annotated PDF file in just a few steps - vs having to do this work manually. Appreciate the tips and recommendations! Thank you!

    Acrobat and Word are quite different types of applications. Namely, Acrobat isn't a word processing application, although many people think that it is and try to use it as such. Therefore, I don't think that this is possible. Annotations in the PDF file are nothing like the changes you can make in a Word file, or vice versa.

  • How can I restore my data with the recovery firefox key?

    So, my laptop was recently reimagee. I was able to get a recovery key Firefox before everything has been removed. When I downloaded Firefox on the recreated machine, asked me to connect. After several resets the password, I have been in. None of my data came down from the cloud "firefox". It does give me an option to enter the recovery key. Is it possible to recover all my stuff?

    Firefox sync was never to be a backup service, you should always have a printed copy of your data.

    You can do it, although there is no guarantee that it will work.

  • How can I restore my favorites with old Firefox Sync?

    I have sync key and password of the old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my favorites.
    Three years ago, I use Firefox sync, but as I put t use.

    You must connect to the synchronization using a 29 pre-Firefox version to re-establish a connection to the server and attempt to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your sync for Firefox 29 account. See this KB article - synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

    Firefox 29 + uses a hidden recovery key and no way to get into the old "key".

    Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync was not intended to be a cloud of data storage. It was created to keep synchronized multiple installations of Firefox.

    Thank you.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.
