I just bought a refurbished dell w / Windows xp pro. How can I activate
I just bought a refurbished dell laptop w / Windows xp pro. How to activate the window or register?
Thank you
Noramally I expect activation to be Internet standard-however, you may need to activate by phone...
If you encounter problems, correctly thenTo analyze and solve problems with the 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.

I did a clean install of Windows 10 PRO - how can I activate the desktop mode
Before I did the reinstall - I had this option when I right click on the task bar to activate the battery icon desktop mode.
If someone please tell me what a piece of software that I should download to re - activate?
Thank you!
There is no Quickset software for this particular laptop - so I went through every download on http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/alienware-15/drivers and I finally installed "Alienware on Application of on-screen display" - after the restart it was back.
However, it is not really intuitive.
Thank you ieee48 and Mary G for big ideas.

According to the system requirements for Acrobat pro 7, it is recommended to use it on Windows 8 machines.
However, you can try to install and run using compatibility mode. You can download it from the following link

I have windows xp pro, how can I restart my computer if I don't have the disc and the key
I would like to know how to reboot my computer and erase everything when I don't have the disc and the key
You will need to get both if you want to reinstall Windows on your computer. The key is in your Windows system, if it can be started and run, by using a utility such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder. With respect to the disk, your computer manufacturer may be able to provide one for you.

I can not connect to internet on my secure network. Windows XP, I cannot enter the phrase/password network. Whenever I go in to connect to the network, it asks that the network passwork, I come home, but he just keeps working and does not connect to the network, even if it recognizes the network and it has a strong signal. I also tried to go into the configuration of the network and tried to change the use of the 'enterprise on a business network' computer personnel in home network, but when I restart and go back, he changed to the computer of the company and the network password is returned to an entry earlier. I wll not accept any change in the password
Hello
If the computer still needs to be used on the on the talk of the Business IT people business network they probably configured to adapt to their network.
If the computer is no more a professional computer change the network configuration to work as a peer-to-peer network.

I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer. On my old XP computer, I used to use Word 97 and later also used a version of works that might have been 2004 (?). (Usually I only used word processing and Excel.)
I took a test drive of Works 9.0, and found features that I liked were missing, specifically:
- Previously with Word I could draw snazzy borders on the table cells, which some had graduated shading that looked almost like a real 3-d picture frame. These borders changed to something else (rather ugly) when I took an old Word 97 and load in Works 9.0 word processing document.
- With a table created in Word 97, it was easy to summarize a bunch of numbers that were all stacked in a column (or do other types of math). Could not do with the Works 9.0 word processor.
(These features were absent from Open Office as well, or at best have been tedious to use.)
Word usually has features more and better than the works (such as those mentioned above)?
Any suggestions on what I should use for word processing? Should not be the latest version, but should be compatible with Windows 7.
Office 2007 and later nothing will work on Windows 7 but do not expect the full set of features in Office 97. Office 2007 and beyond have their own sets of complete functionality... :-)
The problem is the purchase of older versions of Office. Microsoft does not provide them and you won't get one of them cheap.
Corel has always produced WordPerfect... http://www.WordPerfect.com/us/product/Office-suite/?sso_test=true
Free and Open Office are the alternatives...

When you check the list of Windows features it is not inside?
To get there, press the windows key and type in "features " without the quotes and then click on "turn on or off windows features ". "" In the window that appears, you should games and next to it a button "+". Go ahead and click the button "+". You should see Chess titans here. If it is unchecked then go ahead and check it and click OK when you are finished. It should appear in the Games folder in the start menu and Explorer games now. You can or you have to may not restart. It should tell you if it is necessary, however.
