I want to reinstall XP Pro on my PC of children but the legitimate key does not work

I have the original CD that I purchased directly from Microsoft, I have the original e-mail that Microsoft sent me with the product key, but when I enter the key it always says my that it is invalid - what gives?

Create a "Slipstreamed" of integrating XP SP3 version
AutoStreamer, it is easy to use and for the most part explicit.
After you create the CD then do a "clean install", see the last part

  • Satellite Pro L40 - after upgrade to Windows 7, the FN keys do not work

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE and have just upgraded to Windows 7. Since the upgrade I can no longer use the function key and the top and down arrows to control the volume. Keys F6 F7 & still control the brightness so I don't know the function key still works.

    Anyone know if it is a driver problem or nobody knows how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Drew.

    Hello

    You need to install the package of value added for Satellite Pro L40. This package contains all the necessary drivers for the FN keys. Then please install or update VAP if you have already installed an earlier version.
    Here you can download: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Can you confirm that FN keys work with installed VAP?

  • I want to switch from XP to 7, but the Upgrade Advisor does not work; How will I know if my computer can handle?

    I'm worried that maybe I need to upgrade my computer before you upgrade to Windows 7, so I would really like to Upgrade Advisor to tell me what I need.  But whenever I try to run it, it just turns and turns and turns (I mean, more than two hours) without ever come up with anything.  So what I do now?

    If you want to know if your computer with Windows XP will be able to handle Windows 7, check system requirements Windows 7 on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/system-requirements.

    Compare with your own system, right-click on the icon for my computer and then click Properties.

    As long as you an update from XP to 7, the only option you have is Custom installation so there is no sense to the current programs with Windows 7 compatibility check. The thing you should be concerned is the material part. Check the 3 main material that requires compatibility: CPU, RAM and disk space.

  • Need to reinstall Vista, but the DvD player does not work

    Alright. That is the problem. I installed windows 7 on my laptop because a virus crashed my windows vista and the lost disk. After installing windows 7 my dvd player wouldn't even appear or open. As there is no power going to it. Before installing 7 worked well. I want to downgrade back to windows vista. I had an iso, mounted police and when installed would not let me because the car is not active or something. Went to disk management in the config of the admin and active player. That I reset. When starting it stops saying BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl alt del to restart. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

    Here's how to clean install Vista:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox

    On another PC I want to save my favorites, but my browser Firefox does not work how can I make the backup, before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    This may be considered to be solve my problem.
    I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
    Thank you for all your help and advice.

  • Windows 8 pro activate windows, the product key does not

    Windows 8 pro installed on a new hard drive very well. now the pc settings come to activate windows and my product key does not work. any further suggestions?

    You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

    If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  • I've recently upgraded to Office 2016 and also got the latest version of Acrobat Pro, but the Acrobat option does not appear in the Office components. How to make this work?

    I own Acrobat Pro and downloaded the latest version. I also improved my 2016 from office to office, but the Acrobat option does not appear in the Office components like previously in 2013 office. How can I get that back? I often secret several worksheets in PDF format and it is tedious to print them one at a time and then combine. I used to be able to select all the worksheets I wanted and combine them in one go.

    Hi steverobb,

    Acrobat XI is not compatible with Office 2016 for the moment. Please wait for future updates.

    Kind regards

  • I am trying to download the trial version of Adobe Pro XI but the Download Assistant does not display it in the list despite the signing in. What is wrong with him?

    I am trying to download the trial version of Adobe Pro XI but the Download Assistant does not display it in the list despite the signing in. What is wrong with him?

    I had the same problem - my solution:

    1. If you create a connection to Adobe, make sure that you click the verification link in the email sent to you to verify your account.

    2. I leave the download Assistant, then began the process to download the original page download Assistant - he asked if I wanted to run the already downloaded version, which I chose.

    3. once the download wizard opens again, I logged in using my newly created connection and then, he showed the free trial in the product list (it has not been listed as free, but it was).

    My download is happening now - about 1 hour to go.

  • The CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone, I spent the time to research on the here and the other site on why the CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on MacBook Pro mid 2009. This discussion forum has said that he will not work with the El Capitan software. Any idea or suggestion? Back to Marverick or Yosemite? I tried to use SMC reset, restart, recovery and still the same issue.

    I thank in advance.

    ~ Mike

    I have my doubts that the (10.11.5) software is the problem.  Are you sure that the DVD player is simply not defective?  Have you tried to clean the lens?  What is the State of the disc?

    Your best option may be a date at a bar in engineering of the Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

    Ciao.
