  If you are looking for a replacement CD XP, you will need to contact Microsoft support (call) and ask them for you a new CD by mail. Costs about $10 if I remember correctly. Or potentially HP so it was an OEM operating system copy.

• I have a Genunine Windows XP (Home edition) installed PC imy. My RAM is 3 GB. Can I upgrade my system Windows Vista withuot spend the extra money?

  The product key for my Windows XP Home Edition is: XXXX-deleted-XXXX. While working in the PC, I get a MESSAGE"blingin on-screen ' OSB LOCKED: I want to know how to stop the message often displayed blinging."

  My second question is can I upgrade my system Windows Vista freely.

  My Hotmail ID of single widows is: [redacted]

  Rigaut

  First of all - do not post in a public forum product keys.

  Second - "OSB LOCKED"... Of course you did not mean "OSD LOCKED?  (a 'd' and not a 'B'...)

  OSD is the "On Screen Display" and has nothing to do with what version of Windows you have - but with yor monitor.  Look here:
  http://www.thefakegeek.com/2009/04/how-to-unlock-an-OSD-lockout-problem/
  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-desktop-PC-questions/OSD-locked/TD-p/40291

  Last - is impossible to freely pass your system to Windows Vista.  Windows Vista is a product different from Windows XP and you will need to obtain a license.

• I have lost my Windows XP Home Edition SP1 product key

  I recently decided to reinstall Windows XP however, I did not notice that I don't have my Windows product key and my HARD drive is formatted, so I have no way to recover my product key. Is there a way I can get a new product key?

  You bought a generic installation CD OEM XP Home. It came with the product key. You don't keep this key in a safe place and you don't know where it is? Had you not wipe your hard drive, you might find that it's like that, but even this avenue is now closed. So you're out of luck, mate. No, you can get a new key.

• New computer without OS. Have Win98 OEM, upgrade XP Home Edition, and upgrade Vista Home Premium software.

  I entered the confusion there is trying to install the software above in the obviously logical order of about 18 months.

  I was puzzled by the comment of the information for the purpose (I don't remember exactly) that Vista could not be installed because its ranking system is different from XP.

  I "solved" the problem by buying the full version of Windows 7.

  Is there a way I could have installed upgrading Vista - IE an upgrade of an upgrade?

  I ask because I do the same thing again.

  I don't know which comment you are referring to-XP and Vista can use the same file systems (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS).

  Windows 98 won't probably install or run on a new computer.  Here's how you might have used the upgrade of Vista:

  1. Start from the family XP Edition upgrade disk.
  2. When the installation process asks you a qualifying version of Windows, insert the Windows 98 CD.
  3. Once the installation is complete, start Windows XP.
  4. Insert the Windows Vista upgrade disk and do the upgrade.

• I have a Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit

  I have an OEM Windows XP Home Edition, which does not list if it's 32-bit or 64-bit. How do I know what

  To check if your XP operating system is 64-bit, you only have to right click on "My computer" and select 'Properties' to display 'system properties '.   If your XP operating system is XP Professional 64-bit, 64-bit will be indicated in the information displayed in the general tab.  However, XP 32 bit operating systems won't have 32-bit, there is no information about this particular point at all.  The XP Home Edition will be 32-bit, but this information does not appear.  XP Professional, however, can be either 32-bit or 64-bit.  If it is 64-bit, it will be indicated on the general tab of the system properties. However, if it is XP Professional 32-bit, nothing is there to indicate that the operating system is 32-bit.

  Vista and Windows 7, unlike XP, OS will indicate if they are 32-bit or 64-bit.

• Equium L30 - no sound in Windows XP Home edition

  I have read all the messages for the sound with Realtek HD audio problem but still no sound on my laptop. I tried to install software patches from Microsoft, I tried to install the vista drivers but nothing works. The sound is properly installed but when I go into Winamp or any other media device I can't hear anything. No sound windows, nothing, but the device is not functioning properly.

  All these problems are Windows XP Home edition. In Windows Vista, I have no problem at all. I have an Equium L30. Help, please! Excuse for my English.

  You already mentioned that you have already installed Windows (patch) patches.
  Well, the problem is that you must reinstall these patches at first and then you could install driver sound. These fixes are needed; Fixes KB888111 and KB835221.

  The audio driver (Realtek HD Audio) can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page!

  Good luck and greetings ;)

• Satellite L40 - no sound after reinstalling Windows XP Home edition

  I really need help from anyone out there. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my Toshiba Satellite L40 after that I realized, there is no sound. I tried to install all kinds of updates, drivers and all, but still nothing.

  All make me is that I have no audio device.
  Grateful for the help as soon as possible.
  Holla.

  Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?
  Are you sure that you have installed all the drivers?

  Have you installed SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP? You must at least use SP2 for XP.

  And as said Akuma, check the Microsoft KB to the hoftixes. Before you apply this update, you must remove the driver. Otherwise it will not work.

  You can also search in the forum, there are already discussions on this topic.

• I have a Toshiba Satellite A85 with XP Home Edition series. Windows does not start. At startup I get Toshiba logo then a black screenwith cursor upper left. Can I save it?

  Toshiba Satellite A85 Celeron with XP Home edition. Windows does not start. I have Toshiba logo screen, then it turns into a black screen with the upper left corner of the cursor. I have the recovery disk. Is it possible to record HD without re-formatting and losing all data?

  Thank you;

  Lobo77

  If you run the Toshiba recovery application, you will lose all your data.  As indicated in the warning, this application will restore the computer back to wherever it was when it was first delivered by the factory.

  Without other complementary diagnostic information, it is difficult to determine what is happening.  Pressing the key (do not hold) of F8 beginning immediately after that the sequence of power should bring you to the Advanced Boot Options menu.  Try again then press repeatedly the key rather than pressing on and now.

  The recovery CD Toshiba, you have probably does not allow a "repair installation".  Contact Toshiba to see if they will provide you with a suitable CD.

  Given the fact that you can get a useful place when you start with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, my guess is that the computer is OK but that the hard drive has failed - or maybe more likely - the startup information is damaged so that it does not start.  If you have access to a computer equipped with a burner, download and create a bootable Windows CD.

  There are a number of available bootable CD which include various recovery and diagnostic tools.  You'll have to do some research to find out how to use the tools.

  Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows
  Ultimate Boot CD
  Hiren BootCD

  If you feel overwhelmed by the tools and I just want back the data, and then use the Toshiba Recovery DVD, make you a Knoppix CD and use this key to your data, preferably on a network connection.

  If all this sounds like too much for you - and there is no shame in admitting that--take the laptop for a good local computer repair shop (not a type BigBoxStoreUSA or rather GeekSquad) and ask them to check it out and make sure to recover your data before anything else.
