• Invalid product key, trying to fix 'R' a XP Home system existing, NOT via the Recovery Console.

  I have a Compaq PC (with pre-installed software) Ms XP Home installation disc has been provided, no recovery disk was created by the former owner. (My son). It hangs when booting with a blank screen; all the time he would do it has auto logon.
  I have a MS XP Home Upgrade disk w/SP2, I am using to fix this PC.   I had already used 'Keyfinder' to save the product key when the PC worked. The PC also has a Microsoft product key sticker on your box.   I get an error msg "Invalid Key" of these TWO product keys.

  How can I start/correct this PC?    Barry (retiredbee)

  The key that is on the case is specific to the version of winxp from compaq.
  The key finder will find the volume license key used when compaq has created the image, it is not valid to reinstall everything.

  You can install only clean using your disc upgrade, as well as its key, and for that you need a release candidate of victory to upgrade

• Issue of CC of LR after accident of Win7 and restoration of the old image of sys.

  Recently my Win7 system failed to start, so I had to do a restore of the System Image. Unfortunately, I don't remember the date of the image file now. However, it resulted in restoring LrCC to version 2015.5.1.

  Today, I ran another update after being invited by the Cc app and worry that the update is correct.

  Here's a snippet System Info from Lr:

  Version of Lightroom: CC 2015.5.1 [1073342]

  License: Creative Cloud

  Operating system: Windows 7

  Version: 6.1

  Application architecture: x 64

  System architecture: x 64

  Number of logical CPUs: 4

  Processor speed: 3.3 GHz

  Built-in memory: 16263,2 MB

  My concern is that I got in question 6.1 update and that he was thrilled when I was able to update to 6.3 - then see my version is listed in the system of information like 2015.5.1 I wonder if I have a problem with the updates.

  BTW: I discovered a fix to upgrade Lr 6.3 here: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/whats-new-in-lightroom-cc-2015-3-and-lightroom-6-3/

  Perhaps only that this will work for my situation...

  Thank you.

  Why would you want to downgrade to version 6.3 like that you have the version is the latest v2015.5.1 or v6.5.1 [1073342]?

  If you speak the "Version: 6.1" listed after "operating system: Windows 7", it's Windows version operating system not Lightroom.» It is on the first line.

• Halo 2 Vista Error Message "invalid product key".

  I bought Halo 2 for Vista last week. I installed, updated with the latest patch and connected with my Live account. When the program tries to download my Live profile it gave me the error "invalid product key". I contacted the seller on Amazon and told him my problem. He contacted Microsoft and verify that the product key was valid and he told me to reinstall and make sure that all software is up-to-date. I grabbed a spare hard drive and install a new copy of Vista and done all updates to Windows. Then I installed the latest drivers for video card, I installed Halo 2. I downloaded and installed the latest patch for Halo 2 and the last program of Windows Live. After all this (about 3 hours), I still get the same message. Anyone at Microsoft have a solution to this? I get the message after logging in to my live account inside Halo 2. I googled the question and it seems to be quite common, however, I have yet to see a fix. Help, please.

  Hi, Jeff.

  Look at the drive.  It is dirty or scratched?

  Clean it.
