I have never installed my MS when I bought my PC and now it will not accept the product key, how can I get a new key
What "MS"?
Microsoft is a company, not a product.
To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, please
Please also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you a) in the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but does NOT quote the key on the sticker!

Windows XP Pro SP2 re - install does not accept the product key.
I'm trying to re - use the product key on the sticker from the bottom of the laptop. This is the same computer that was working fine until I decided to reinstall, but I use a different installation media because the laptop (a refurb) never came with the media. Can I call MS and get it re-authorized? I have XP Pro SP2 and XP Pro SP3 Reacondicionador media.
You try to install Windows XP with OEM product key you have on your COA sticker. So be sure that you have a generic Windows XP OEM CD, because VLK or Retail CD does not accept the OEM product key.

We strive to produce a report required by the State of California, which requires us to download Silverlight 4. The error message says you need to uninstall all previous versions of Silverlight, which there is one on the system: 1 of Silverlight (1.0.30109.0). The last update 29/01/11 at 12:38, an automatic update. When I go into "Control Panel" "Add/Remove Programs" find Microsoft Silverlight 1 and hit 'Delete' another error message tells me that it cannot find the source. I did a search on the hard drive and it came with c:/229fe816f9d5ed50e95460. I can access this file or delete it. How can I get Silverlight 1 out of this machine if I install Silverlight 4?
Hello
Your Windows XP question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for the IT Pro audience on the Silverlight forums. Please post your question in the below link:

Why Illustrator does not accept the 'F1' key as a shortcut? I deleted the default keyboard to "clipping mask/do" command and now I can't use the "F1" key All other command options are used for other shortcuts. Should I delete the Illustrator preferences and start again? If so, how do I?
What OS? If a Mac, go to System Preferences and check the box that says deal with F-keys regular keys (or something to that effect). This will trigger the F keys to be used in artificial intelligence.

How can I get a new access key for windows xp pro?
Hello
There are several potential issues at stake here.
First of all, make sure that you use the Windows product key is for the full XP Pro version not the upgrade version.
Secondly, many manufacturers of computers for the last few years have provided computers with Windows XP installed, but a product key of Vista on the side. If this is your situation, you need to call the manufacturer of your computer for the installation media or call microsoft to "downgrade rights."
Thirdly, if you use a product key that was provided for Windows XP Service Pack 3, and you use the older installation media, it will not accept this product key. You need to get your hands on support for XP Service Pack 3.
Hope that helps.

I have two bones store but I have installed Se7en Skin Pack 2 [1].0 Ultimate in xp and now my computer couldn't open xp. How can I recover my file system through win7 that I should open up xp
Hello
Step 1:I suggest you start in safe mode, and then you would be able to choose which version of Windows that you want to start in. See below section to start in safe mode-
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222Step 2:
After entering in safe mode, you can try to use system restore to return to a previous point, until the software has been installed.Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.
Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

I bought the IPad Pro 128 GB on 3.29.2016. I used it for less than a week. It charged when I first opened it from 67% to 100%. 9.3.1 update. After about 5-6 days, the battery is down to 1%, and now it will not load. I have reset to factory settings and it still doesn't load. There's just 1%. Help, please.
Thank you

Impossible to install windows 8 - we could not verify the product key
Hello
I have a HP G laptop computer series. The laptop comes with Windows 7. I. I upgraded to WIN 8 pro when windows 8 has been released. Recently, my laptop hard drive crashed completely due to bad sectors. I replaced with a new hard drive and tried to install WIN 8 from a dvd disk created from Windows download site.
Now, the installation fails in the "enter product key to activate windows. The error is , we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media.
What can I do here? I can't install Windows 7 also because my laptop didn't come with a backup installation disk but just a restore system partition that get lost with swap HDD too.
I was struck here for weeks. Please help me.
To install Windows 8, you must have a previous Version (XP Sp3, Vista or Windows 7) installed at installation time. Your RESUME must have given you the opportunity to make a series of DVD of Windows 7, when you first start using your computer. If you have done these and then use them for the recovery of Windows 7 on your computer and then update for Windows 8.0. If you don't do this why? Your other option is to contact HP support and have then send you a recovery of Windows 7 DVD set. They will charge a small fee for these to help cover their costs.
Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.
