  Don't have they replaced the hard drive?  If this is not the case, there could be a recovery partition on the disk that you can use to install Windows XP.

  Otherwise, contact the manufacturer of the computer for an installation disc.

  You shouldn't buy a new copy of XP.  A computer repairman competent all these possibilities would discuss with you before starting the repair work.

• Upgraded to Windows 7 and had to replace the motherboard. Now can't activate Windows 7

  I have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 on my desktop Gateway in 2009. I just had the motherboard replaced and had to reload Windows 7. I reinstalled it as new instead of upgrading. Now I can not activate my key to Windows 7 upgrade. What can I do?

  Yes, you can purchase a copy full of the same edition of Windows is installed, and install the key by using the option change the product key.

  The quckest to do (not necessarily best) is to buy on Microsoft Store - they will email a key that you can use immediately.

• I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

  Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

  The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
  C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

  If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

  If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

  Hello:

  All the drivers, specifications and manuals are missing from pages support again.

  This happened earlier in the week also.

  Another Member of the forum has reported the problem to administrators forum, which will be in touch tour HP, but since I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I don't know how long it will take to restore the missing data to the support pages.

  Whether the weekend will not help much either.

• mounted the new motherboard, the habit now XP re activate, message implies that it is a pirated copy.

  I re loaded XP SP1 and receipt message to say that I had 30 days to activate, so I better download SP3 first. Worked well. Tried to activate it and got the implicit message that the copy of XP has been hacked. Run the real software diagnoses and the only thing that was pointed out in red was activation!
  Turn round and round in circles, someone has got any thoughts. Yes, the copy I have is OEM from a reputable company.

  Maybe, maybe not:

  Is there a way to pull this off with on the reinstallation of the operating system?  This post http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2007/09/how-to-install-a-new-motherboard-without-reinstalling-windows.ars looks promising, but not specifically for Vista.

  I don't have a Vista DVD that I bought the upgrade online. I have it on a spare SATA drive and can't burn on a DVD because for some reason any damned, it is slightly larger then what fits on a 8.4 GB DVD. I have a disc XP full version. The current installation is a clean vista who, for now, I forget exactly how I managed, but I remember that you can do a full install with upgrade to vista as long you have your original cd of XP handy.

  Hello Sqrly,

  All you can do is try. It's 50-50 if you try to fix the MBR (master boot record). If this does not work and clean install will be your only option. If I were you, I would like to do a clean install. You can download this ISO (Vista) link:http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ but the use of this software to burn your ISO. Link: http://download.cnet.com/Active-ISO-Burner/3000-2646_4-10602452.html?tag=mncol, let us know if this allows you to get your drive. Follow the instructions. Try to repair your windows MBR with this disc. If it isn't you may have an option to make your recovery partition recovery disks or you must contact the manufacturer to buy them for a small fee. Very nice MOBO you got there by the way! ;-) Let us know whether, if that helps you. Make it a great day!

• After you install a new motherboard, Windows XP says to turn on again, but it fails.

  I installed a new motherboard and now I have a saying of screen I have to activate windows again but activation fails with the message saying that could have pirated software. I walked into the 7 sets of 6 numbers, as requested by the machine on the phone. I also tried to activate online, but the computer does not connect. Anyone have a phone number for uk support it is a person not a machine?

  original title: Windows XP activation problems

  Your problem is probably because you have a preinstalled Windows - an OEM copy - copy and these licenses CANNOT be transferred to the new motherboards or new computers, except in conditions of warranty.

  Activatin is using the product key - which consists of 5 blocks of 5 characters each.

  The ID of the product that is referenced in the Sytem Propertyies page, will show if you have a key OEM - the second group of characters will be OEM, if so.

  I can't access internet wirelessly from my laptop because I installed a new printer which is now connected to my router, is - it related somehow?

  Hello

  1. what happens when you use a wired connection?

  2. how many devices are connected to the router?

  This can happen if you connect that a specific number of device to the router, and when it exceeds the limit. You can consult the router's manual or contact the manufacturer of the router to check if all the parameters must be changed to connect several devices.

   

  Hope this information is useful.
