However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Found the CD Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with key, is there a way to see if it is valid?

    So, I was just digging through a pile of junk today, and found Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with a product key stuck to it. It was an OEM kit (for some reason) and I wanted to see if it had been used. Is there a program to see if it is valid without installing it? Because I don't want to lose activation on this just check to see if it will work. Help is very appreciated. (I don't want to use a phone, if that's possible! I hate using the phone... xD)

    If its opening, its likely has been used. Once you break the seal for an OEM System Builder kit, you are bound to the license agreement.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    You are welcome.

    It was a fluke that I know where you are up with that in the previous question, I answered.

    MSE is the reason; It disables the Defender on the goal.

    Here are all the facts about it.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/MSE-protect_start/Windows-Defender-and-Microsoft-Security-Essentials/5309cb8d-02e1-40E8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

    I suggested msconfig and Autoruns, as defender is how Microsoft points you, change Vista startup programs.

    One day, you can stop a program starting at start-up That's why I've included these two links for you as no longer, you can use Defender to do.

    What about updates that you think are missing, it would depend on what you have reinstalled as to what you need. You have not found a message that it is an installation failed for them; you jump a list-type PA Bear for you.

    I would say that those particular updates you think you are missing, you may repost in the Windows Update Forum and go to the Attn: PA bear.

    Relax and breathe.

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

    I did a clean install of firefox 31 and now I can't get on any web site of Ustream, it works on IE and Chrome.
    I tried all the advice I could find on the help section, but nothing works. I reinstalled everything is new so it's all of this to date, but not a single site Ustream.tv will load. I can put them on IE and chrome.

    The question may be because of your corrupt cookie (cookies.sqlite) file

    Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete the other files of cookie present as cookies.sqlite - journal in the Firefox profile folder where the cookies.sqlite file has been corrupted.

    You can also check whether DOM Storage is enabled.

  • My computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants). How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    As says the question: my computer has been infected recently with Sirefef (AB and W variants).  How will I know if I do a backup/clean install of the operating system or not?

    I'm running a full system scan in ESM right now, and it has detected multiple instances of sirefef.   I have remove as they pop up, but I'm afraid that when I run another scan they all will always be there.  Is there a way to know if MSE is actually remove them and he cleaning?  If not, should I do a back up and reinstall the OS?

    Thank you.  I can choose to try this, however, I would like an answer to my other questions first.

    Sirefef is a rootkit and yes he can hide in your system.  This is why it has been suggested that you may need to reformat/reinstall.  In fact, it's the only way to eliminate malware.  Multiple scans with several scanners and no conclusion malware probably indicate he disappeared, but the key word is "probably".  Malwarebytes is good and what he finds now may be traces of the infection, but what he finds perhaps not active more - it is always good to run the scans so.

    What spare drive did you run?  What scanners did you use?  See again you and follow the guide "Malwaretips"?

    For the firewall problem, you can try the following Microsoft Fixit.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems of Windows Firewall service

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_firewall_diagnostic/en-us

    One of the users of the Forum answers maintains that a great guide on information security is important for understanding the removal of malicious software.  See the following compliments of Brian M - for suggestions on how to solve your problem: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide/#after see: after the removal process and solve the problems of Post disinfection

    Uninstall/reinstall of MSE is how?  All the problems?  Have you tested MSE with eicar to be sure it's working?

    Assume that you have not had an opportunity to review the MSE Installation Checklist or you would have noted that MSE and Windows Defender cannot be used on the same computer.  So if WD works in fact it means MSE has been disabled/not not work correctly or not installed.

    See the next WD re: Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials
