I have an oem ultimate windows 7 and stepped disc course he his still used as for my children, I have built several pcs

So I wonder how can I know if this OEM windows 7 disc is used by another computer can I ask Microsoft to see its assets before I install it in a PC version?

The fact is, its used, as you said, it has been used on several PCs in the past.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    I use Windows XP and care April 2014 if I always use the it, what will happen after that Microsoft no longer supports it?  My computer will become unusable?  It works great and I would keep it if I can.  I use a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop.  Some people have told me that "nothing will happen" and others tell me that my computer will be more vulnerable.  I use ESET NOD 32 and Malwarebytes.  They tell me that they should still continue to work.  I am told that because my computer was purchased in September 2008, he cannot me upgraded to Windows 7.  I'm not a geek and would need assistance "passage" my files from one computer to the other as well.  And then what to do with my old top office.  I'm very worried and I had to face the fact that Microsoft is not going to deliver any security updates patches after April of 2014.

    I can't wait to hear from someone on this problem and more just to go out and invest in Windows 8!  Thank you.

    I can tell you one thing, all or almost of windows xp device drivers will disappear from the computer manufacturers support websites and will reappear on all these shady sites who claim to be download for free but comes with unwanted software. Download the latest device drivers and keep several copies of them and download them to your skydrive or dropbox account fo guard.

    I doubt that will happen. I've seen Windows 2000 drivers still on websites mfg.

    Outlook Express was last used in XP and it all production ceased in June 2006. In addition, he has never been a standalone download of OE.

    If you have Win7 Pro, enterprise or ultimate edition, you can install XP Mode and use Outlook Express.

  • After fighting a multitude of Trojans, viruses and spyware, I can't connect to Windows Update and don't worry I'm still infected!

    So I'm trying to save my dad's computer (and its files + settings) after that he was struck with a variety of bad guys: Alureon, FakeSysDef, Blacole, Gen-Nullo, difficulty system, etc..

    Has finally got the office programs and files back after the entire MBAM, TDSSKiller, SuperAntiSpyware, etc., of jazz, but STILL not get things all the way back to the normal and good scans with MSSE, MBAM and MS Security Scanner are clean, I am afraid that the computer is always infested with something or the other...  (mainly due to my inability to use / access Windows Update: receive the 0x800A0046 error code AND get it published (feat of Java Blacole) out of a Flash drive, I used my system between the two machines... stupid, I know)

    so, here are the details: Dell XPS: Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3: seems to have been hit in early November that there is no fixes/updates after 11/14 or more.

    I told him years not to run multiple antivirus + spyware programs at the same time, but he ignored me consistently.  I have since completely uninstalled Norton (using their removal tool on a newly created user account, as I couldn't make it work on sound - both are admin ETCA) and Webroot and installed MSSE.  At one point he swindled with system security 2011 and from there installed PC Fix, difficulty system and any other fake antivirus, it can click.  When the first infestation (before everything went to sh * t) I was takled him thanks to a restoration system and scan... About a week later, he ignored previous orders on not clicking or not to install anything without calling me everything first and got the rest of them (see list above).

    This time, we could not access any program, web page, without failure, System Restore, its own user account, etc etc.  Somehow (with MBAM, TDSSKiller, etc) I entered the computer, installed process explorer, started the happy hunting and following 'view' & restore icons/programs/etc.  And yet we always face the dilemma of Windows Update, the loss of its sites Favorites/tabs, loss of / NO content in administrative tools (both through the control panel and Start Menu: file is empty when it is open) and inability to use the system restore.

    I found this thread ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/windows-update-not-working-ie8xphome-error/db7956c9-d77c-e011-9b4b-68b599b31bf5 ) in which the fellow was in THE SAME EXACT POSITION I'm NOW - for a tee - who said: "those who would be interested - this problem has been resolved by an engineer from climbing on the Team Support of Windows XP.  It was "Removing Group Policy" through a registry fix, "Reloading safety model" via several downloads and finally run a .bat file also downloaded. "So I guess I need help do the same.

    Can someone help me or offer any other advice or assistance to get this sorted out?  Thank you in advance for anything you can do!

    See you soon,.

    Hi Mike,.

    Yes, I tried all these steps without success...

    Buuuuut...

    I ended up calling the Microsoft's Technet support, which helped me to identify two registry entries that the horde of virus/trojan/rootkit had created changed, that I had not already taken AND finished the download of some clever little program (difficulty WU Utility I think?) which allowed me to reset + reregister the BITs, cryptographic, & System Restore services...  That did the trick (although, as far as I know; dear ol ' pop reported no problems at the moment ;-))

    Thank you Jeebus! Laughing out loud

    See you soon,.

    You cannot use your product key with the other CD. You can order for the replacement CD from the Microsoft Supplemental Parts team instead.

  • I unchecked the "notify me when this connection is limited or no connectivity" for my windows wireless and LAN connections, but the icons still appear in sys tray when it is disconnected.

    Hello

    I use my Intel client to manage my wireless network connection in Windows XP Pro SP3. (I need to use the Intel client because it supports protocols wireless not supported by the Windows client).

    I would like to remove the icon from the system tray/notification area Windows wireless network connection and cannot find a way to do it.

    I opened the network connections, right click and choose 'properties' and in the general tab at the bottom there are two check boxes "Show icon in notification area when connected" and "notify me when this connection is limited or not connectivity ' which I disabled (I did it for my local network also), but the icons still appear in the status bar when it is disconnected.

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    I found a registry change that removes the icon in the systray.  One needs only to remove these keys (save the first):

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}]
