Is impossible to activate Windows XP, computer locked up...

I tried all day removing personal information from my old computer before I give it to a friend. At the time when I thought that I had done, I decided to do an upgrade of the Windows XP operating system installation. I thought that I would be fixing any errors. Stupid me! I made the mistake that I can't seem to overcome. Now, the computer does not start until a complete departure. I get a window that says "Windows Product Activation: this copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft you connect." You want to activate Windows now? "I answer by clicking Yes.

Then the screen turns green in background Windows XP and State does not change the count after that. It just seems to be locked up. I cut the power supply and start hoping that it will be somehow milraculously change States and work this time... but no! Same thing again and again. I can't place where I put in the product key code. How the hell do I? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm almost nuts right now... :(

    Original title: cannot activate Windows 7.

    I got this copy of Windows for a while and just recently built a new computer. I got this copy on other computers until either dead or I no longer use. (a laptop computer is still usable, but I doubt that I ever will be again once, just bought a new laptop with win8 installed...)

    Reading these threads, I noticed that many threads mentions a copy of Windows by computer - but I have 2 computers with the same copy of windows 7 on it. My understanding is that a copy of windows is associated with a single person, not every computer that person has, as long as its for personal and non-commercial use.

    I don't remember exactly where I got this idea, it may have been the person who built the first time, my office about 4 years ago, but nevertheless I've always had a desktop and a laptop with the same copy of windows inside. I also experienced a few computers since I no longer use, but I still installed the same copy on the computer replacement without any problem.

    What should I do? I have to buy a new copy of Windows? Or should I report somehow old computers that had the copy in it but is now trash?

    Operating system Windows licenses: license = one Installation.

    ________________________________

    And this rule also applies:

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), or OEM System Builders license, this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.

    The OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc. machines and OEM System Builders license) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    _______________________________

    If it is a retail license and transfer it to you and it is installed on a machine, you may need to follow these steps.

    If it does require phone activation, do not follow Demand of Auto, but brace yourself for a real person explain as to what has been done for purposes of re-setup

  • Impossible to "Activate Windows" - link broken or damaged, only to see a blue window with 2 Gifs in the upper corners.

    Hello

    I recently reinstalled XP Home after accident after the installation of SP3. I tried the clean install, no problems until the end of the 30-day activation period; to be honest didn't know that I needed too, but that's another story.

    After management reset the counter of 30 days, finally reconnected to XP, went through the SP3 update process ok, reboot ok, then tried Windows Update - re not headed to activation options... no problem, I have all the original disks, here's the problem though.

    I have to go through , then choose "Activate Windows" then...

    pop-up windows opens, blue background with title bar gray where it says activate Windows, but there is no option menu on screen? all I get are two. In each upper corner gif images (tells usually unloaded image on a web page)... and that's it, nadda, nothing else rises.

    I tried all the solutions on the Win Help pages (kb314935) and some other techy here guys (topics: Windows XP Home Activation window fails to run a repair... and the Article ID: 312295)

    I tried all of the following commands in the order...

    Regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll
    Regsvr32.exe licdll.dll
    C:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

    I ran across the "fix" WPAEvents, which does not work either...

    I rang the activation help desk United Kingdom who advised it wasn't their problem because I wasn't getting the option to activate by phone, so they gave me the number of the UK tech support... and of course they do not work beyond 18:00 or weekend (grrr) so I rang the support American number and after 10 minutes of blocking and accumulating of my phone bill they say "we support only from the USA and Canada, team support to try to the United Kingdom"... aaaaahhhhhhh

    So what someone has any ideas that don't involve repair XP as I did this one to death.

    See you soon,.

    I bought a computer refurbished of the auction to complete school with Windows Vista Professional is installed and running. After 2 months, he started to give me a msg of error indicating that the volume had expired or something like that. Now Windows will not work and all my attempts to reactivate it failed. The product key on the device gives me only a a new error code 0x8007267C, and tells me that I need a key to the company to enable it. I use another laptop to convey what the news is unusable.

    You cannot use a key Home base to activate an installation of the company.

    You need to reinstall the OS using the recovery media for your machine - if you do not, you should be able to order from the manufacturer.

    Hi guys,.

    So I have an E5-571 I had to wipe with Acer recovery software. I choose the full erase option which reset my computer to factory conditions. Unfortunately, my computer is now always tells me that I need to activate my copy of windows. I used to Belarc advisor to get my product key, but Windows is say that the key didn't work. In addition, I bought a copy of Windows 8 Pro from my school and I tried this key and it did not work. Would purchase Acer recovery media and use that allow me to have an activated copy of windows? Or otherwise, if I installed Windows 8 of my school and used their product key, would this work?
