  • Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Currently Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x 86 (no patches since 2008). Currently, it has no AV and has not been connected to the internet yet. It will be behind a router.

    I had to redo the factory already reset after be connected to the net for 20 minutes and then a bunch of programs kept crashing saying Data Execution Prevention had to close the program StackHash and BEX error when executing update for HP drivers.

    Maybe I installed Kaspersky first next time?

    What should I do?

    Thank you!

    No problem. Install the updates. You can install the anti-virus later.

    Just don't start browsing the inet by updating.

    Activation of old labtop with cd of computer and network management Professor.

    Hello, can help me? I got window xp home edition w/support package 3 of my computer and the network of teachers. I use it to format the hard drive to make it like a new computer, but it says that the product key that was on the sticker was incorrect, even if she was the one that came with the computer when we bought it. I tried to contact Microsoft, but they have this computer thing and it's boring and then I tried again and it gave me a busy signal. We know what can I do to get my window is enabled?

    The product key on the sticker must match the type and flavor of Windows XP that is installed.  An installation disc can be a XP CD retail or an OEM (manufacturer) CD and the flavor can be XP Pro or XP Home Edition.  These two must match between the CD key and product.  In addition, some manufacturers have XP 'BIOS-locked' such that the OEM install disk looking for a code that exists in the BIOS to validate.

    My guess is that you install XP from a retail CD on your OEM computer and codes are not matching.  If you do not have your original installation media, you will probably need get a your computer manufacturer OEM drive and reinstall Windows.
