I have the OEM of Windows Professional version on the original computer, I got a virus I reinstalled Windows, I need to activate?
I have the original disc of Windows and the product code, why I have to activate. The computer is the original purchased with the software. I had to format the hard drive, now I can't reinstall.
All Windows installations require activation.
Activation does not until AFTER installation - if this is not relevant at this time.
What makes you say that you cannot reinstall? This error message do you receive?

I have an OEM of Windows Vista version on a dying computer. Can I buy the upgrade for Windows 8 and install it on the new PC, I'm building? The upgrade, is published at the same time as I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm just looking to replace my OS. I need Vista.
Hello
OEM license is tied to the first machine that is installed on the OEM license dies when this machine dies.
An OEM license is not transferable.
And you need a legal edition of Windows, enabled for upgrade.
There is no use, you buy a license upgrade of Windows 8 by itself as you have to upgrade anything of in the new computer, you build...
You can buy a license of Windows 8 when it comes out later this year.
See you soon.

How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.
I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

How can I recover my product key of Windows XP? I still have the Original CD.
How can I recover my product key of Windows XP. I still have the Original CD.
NKALE,
It is OEM, sale retail or Volume Licensing? If it is OEM, the tile should be on your CPU. If it's retail, should be on the back of the box. If it's VL, then you should see in https://eopen.microsoft.com.
Best,

Hello
I would ask you to contact the manufacturer of the computer for the installation of Windows XP CD and run the sfc scan to check if any system files are corrupt and can be replaced.
Method 1.
Let us first start the sfc scan and check if there are any file system corruption.
a. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
b. type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
More information on SFC scan found in this document:
Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747Method 2.
If the problem persists, then create a new user profile and then copy your current users assigning to this profile. For more information, see:
How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279783How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile

Motherboard went out on my computer and I have the original OS from computer disks.
My motherboard of the computer came out on me, but I have the original OS disk, with which he came (and the serial key). If I install this new motherboard, I'll be able to use my original OS drive? Can I disable it the old mobo so I can use this new? Can I download a trial version of Windows and activate it with my serial key?
If you have a version of OEM Windows XP product key does not work on the new motherboard as the OEM versions are linked to the 1st computer/motherboard on which it is installed.
For a 'Full' version of XP, you should have no problem with the exception possibly activate by phone.
You do not disable a motherboard, simply remove the old disk XP if you plan to use a new hard drive.
There is no trial version of XP.

NB100 have the original restore CD but no external ODD
Hello
A few months ago my NB100-12 caught a bad virus and stopped completely startup in windows. So, I downloaded ubuntu on another computer and installed on my nb100 via a USB key. I now want to put windows xp on the laptop I have the original CD of restoration came with the laptop but I don't have access to an external USB CD/DVD drive? Is it possible using another computer that I can put on a USB recovery CD and start from there to recover my system NB100s.Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS I think that which is supplied with a recovery CD for a laptop that does not have a CD drive is quite ridiculous. Especially since there seems to be no alternative
I thought the NB100 came with a hidden rather than recovery discs recovery partition. Are the disks stamped good discs? Or are they DVD-R discs?

I have the original CD and the product key. How many computers can I install Windows XP Home Edition?
You can install it as many times as you want, but the product key is activated on a computer at one time only.
If you have 2 computers, 2 keys are needed.

Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?
Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.
Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.
