• I had to reinstall Windows XP again and now him "you have become a victim of software piracy" has appeared.

  Hello

  I had to reinstall Windows XP again and now him "you have become a victim of software piracy" has appeared. I know for sure my code OEM is legal, because I enabled Windows XP on this machine before several times. So I decided to activate the key using msoobe.exe and via the internet.
  Apparently, internet activation is not available (a message code 24579). Of course, I tried the phone activation. Called on the answering machine, type the digits of the ID of the instalation. It don't did me not have any code to write in the fields ABCDEFG. Only that a mistake occurred.  Then I clicked on "Change product key" once asked me to do. Type in the product key. But it was rejected. I answered honestly, machine that I have not any new instalation ID. They said I need to contact the seller, because my key is not genuine... obviously, there is no way that he can help me.
  What should I do now?
  Thank you in advance.
  original title: cannot activate the XP by phone

  The key used here is a Volume that was never issued by Microsoft - license key was generated by the KeyGen tool a hacker.

  If it is key that you tried to activate, so it is no surprise it is rejected.

  If however, you have a valid key for Win XP Pro, you can change the it to this one, using the product key update tool, as Carey said. - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/product-key

• Can I use Windows 7 Upgrade media to upgrade a Vista computer that has not been upgraded to service pack 1? Can I use the option of custom Setup for Windows 7 Upgrade media? I would go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Premium.

  The computer on which I am trying to upgrade is vascular under Vista Premium, but it was never upgraded to Service Pack 1. He has a problem with PIECES that is caused by a defective ntdll.dll module and so the updates do not work. Windows Upgrade Advisor tells me I must update Vista SP1. I really don't want to spend the time to solve the problem of Vista. I would like to just do a clean install using the custom install option on the Win7 upgrade support.
  Help.

  Wrong forum. This post here instead, questions please: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  That being said, you can not use an upgrade to Win7 edition to make a clean installation on a computer running Vista without SP1 installed, but you can buy a complete edition of Win7 (detail) and install it after formatting your HARD drive. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

• Internet worked well until I have Reinstalled windows vista 64 bit, now my Internet does not work, says that I don't have a driver from the Internet.

  Internet worked well until I reinstalled windows vista 64 bit on my Dell laptop, now my Internet does not work. Went into Device Manager and there is no network adapter. I tried to reinstall the driver that came with my laptop disk but it doesn't seem to work, says that I need an updated driver. I don't know what else to do, I have to install a new driver from the Internet? Ugh becomes very frustrated!

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  The computer you are using now if you have an Internet connection with the other > download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.

  See you soon.

• Rebooted the laptop Vista disk, and now no defragmentation option: S

  This probably sounds silly and is probably fixed easily, but I can't defragment my hard drive.  There is no program or whatever it is in my file system tools, nor my administrative tools in the control panel.  Had to restart the whole system thanks to the old anti-virus hogging my entire memory, and now it's gone!

• Vista Home Premium fails to install with error Code 0x800705B3 Requires_Interactive_Window_Station Service Pack 2

  I'm trying to help a friend install sp2 to vista Home premium. I tried all the tips I can find nothing on this forum (and google) does not. However, I can't find any post (or article) installation involving a failure of sp2 with 0x800705B3 error code. All messages (or objects) I found with THIS focus with the installation of the hardware drivers after the sp2 update. Can someone help me with this?

• Error 643 when installing update security for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (KB9739724) and a security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB9739723).

  I downloaded both of these updates and was asked to restart my computer in order to install them.  When I restart my computer it says: "Installation to update 1 of 2..." and then finally she said "Shutting down...". "But my computer never stops.  Fifteen to twenty minutes later, I get a blue screen that says something about the dumping of memory, then the computer reloads the login screen.  When I log in, I get the 643 error message that says that it was unable to install the updates.  As a side effect of this error whenever I try to shut down my computer, it tries to reinstall the update again and my computer never stops.  Even when I unplug the wall remains on him.  I tried to use system restore to go back to the point before I installed the update, but it loads just for a while and then said: "system restore has failed."  I read in another thread that you are not allowed to bring support for updates associated security update.  If this is the case then I need at least to help make my computer stop trying to install these updates when I shut down my computer so it stops correctly.  Thank you.

  RAH66Comanche,
  With these security updates, it is better to get them installed.  You can run the following tools to ensure that there is no system problems:
  Disk error checking
  System File Checker

  Then, run the System Update tool and try again to install updates.

  If you just want to try to hide these updates, you can perform the following procedure:

  Click Start Menu > click the button run
  In the Open box, type %windir% & then click OK.
  Note the %windir%\System32 folder is the folder where you installed Microsoft Windows.
  Find the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.
  Right-click the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and then click Rename.
  Type SoftwareDistributionOld & then press ENTER.

  Then go to Windows Update and hide the 2 updates.
