I'm trying to reinstall xp pro on a aspire 5100...
Stupidly, I used a copy of xp that I had no key code for thinking I could get the code provided on the certificate of laptop. The installation went well until the moment enter the code which does not accept the software. Now, I can't start without him restart installing same xp even when I try to boot from another dvd and I'm stuck at halfway through the xp installation... help
Hi lostboi,
You will not be able to use the product key from one computer to another.
· Who is the manufacturer of the laptop?
· Do you have any CD recovery or partition of recovery on the laptop?
Because the installation is at halfway, there is no way you can restore. In addition, you cannot continue with it that you don't have the correct product key.
You can check if you have the recovery CD or a recovery on the laptop to start the process all over partition. If none is available, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

Accidentally deleted Windows 98 when trying to reinstall XP Pro upgrade.
I wanted just a fresh reinstall of XP Pro, so please help me with my specific problem if you can. I was using my version of XP Pro to re-intall upgrade. Instructions for reinstalling confused me and I inadvertently selected an option that has removed the original 98 OS during installation process. Given that my copy of XP Pro, is to install an upgrade not a complete new OS, I can't proceed because my 98 files are gone: (...) (but perhaps not fatal?) I stopped the process as soon as I realized that the option I chose was probably not the right, but it seems that it was too late. Using my XP Pro upgrade cd installation could not proceed when I tried again because the original 98 OS files are now missing. :(
I got this computer set up with a legitimate 98 and XP Pro upgrade for several years. I can't find my original of 98 (I can't find it in stock and gives me an injury so I can't dig for it, also, it could be anywhere). So the problem is this: I need to restore my 98 operation system somehow somehow (without my cd), so I can use my XP Pro updated to get back to where I was, a work computer XP Pro. That's all.
Is it possible to do, either by MS support (I was registered through Windows Genuine Advantage or just what it's called so I guess they can check that my BONES were and are indeed legitimate) or can they help me with another installation of 98 so I can re - install usimg my upgrade back to XP Pro? Or another solution? Somehow to restore the deleted files? Please note: I can not afford to buy anything right now, I am out of work right now, so thank you very much in advance for any suggestions and the reasons to buy Windows 7 or buy something else, but these solutions are NOT viable for me right now, but thank you again if you were going to think that. What I really need help's suggestions as to what can be done to help me get my current system facing up and running using what I have on the spot.
I appreciate sincerely any help you can offer!

Serial does not work to reinstall Acrobat Pro XI
My hard drive crashed and I am trying to reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. The program ask the serial number that I registered. But the drop down menu options which the program, I have the serial number for any of them is XI Acrobat Pro for Windows. What are my options. It won't take the serial number for any of them. Help?
Hi Bob,
It seems that Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was an upgrade of one of the Acrobat versions available in the drop-down list.
You must choose the exact version of Acrobat installed before Adobe Acrobat Pro XI & returns the key of this previous version in order to proceed with the installation.
You can find the key of your earlier version of Acrobat by using this link to quickly find your serial number.
Let me know if you still have any problem or need assistance, we will be happy to help you.
Kind regards

Had problems with Windows 8 Pro that I bought after the pre version, seems when I tried to reinstall it, kept getting no configure after installation. So I tried a full install without success. Can you please give some tips to overcome this problem? I lost the back upward with the resettlement, don't know how, but I have a QuadCore intel 9650 memory of 8 GB, 560 GTX GPU, 120 GB SSD. Can I install windows 7 ultimate, but I prefer Windows 8 Pro and don't want to pay for it again.
I suggest you reinstall Windows 7 first, then use your existing Windows 8 Pro key and reinstall Windows 8 Pro from the following link:
You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
You will need to reactivate by phone:
Activation of the phone:
1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4
2. then press the ENTER"" key.
3. Select your "country" in the list.
4. choose the option "activate phone".
5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.
