Key used to work, but no more?

I had some hardware issues so had to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium.

I was able to activate Win 7 Home Premium with the license key on the sticker (this has more the automated phone system, no problem), and Windows says that it is authentic.

I had already purchased an activation key for a Home Premium-> Win 7 Pro upgrade, which has worked before. I copied and pasted the key a file I had saved, but when you try to activate it returns the message "upgrade key is not valid. Please, check the key and try again. ». I checked twice, and that's okay. This is the same key that I had used twice before when do fresh installs without problem.

Who should I contact to fix this?

Digital River (still have the original e-mail that indicates the key).


You copy and paste the key to your email?
A maybe something to do with the fact that MS is selling more keys Anytime Upgrade for Win 7 (just tried)?
 
Nothing to do with the absence of all time product upgrade, it should still work as it has just done an update about a week ago on one of the computers to test with no problems. It could be that you used the key to upgrade too many times, which could be the reason why you got the "not valid" message which requires you to use the phone activation.

    MyHP3070 deskjet will scan and print via USB link, but don't scan the network, printing is authorized via netowrk. Used to work but not anymor. I have windows XP laptop. I tried HP doctor but in vain. It says that it cannot connect with the driver. Tried to uninstall and reinstall from the CD and also downloaded driver via HP web page but does not. Any ideas what to try next? Also have Norton 360 software virsus and tried extinction of firewalls, etc., but it doesn't seem to help. What is confusing, is that it is used to work but now is intermittened, it won't work at all.

    I managed to uninstall with REVO Uninstaller. This removed the driver original from the Add/REMOVE program possibly a result.  This then allowed me to install the driver that you recommended to your link above. I ran out of time yesterday to test if the printer has worked with the new download, so I'll have to try again later today to see if it works. I would grab with result.

  • How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7? It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

    How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7?  It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

    What happens when you try?  Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.

    If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem.  But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you.  Here's how:
    1. Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
    2. Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.
    • This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
    If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files.  Here's how:
    1. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
    2. At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .

  • Guest network used to work, but no longer works

    The network invited for Time Capsule used but fails now with El Capitan 10.11.4 and airport 7.7.3 and utility 6.3.6 I am off-bridge mode. He used to work in this mode

    Comments of the time Capsule network functionality will not work properly if the Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode.

    He should never have worked in Bridge Mode, according to Apple product design.  I have no idea how you did that installation work already... since Apple says you can't do that.  Is it possible that you have had the time Capsule set up in router Mode of DHCP and NAT... and thought he was in Bridge Mode?

    The document of support from Apple on the network of comments feature...

  • own original iPod, USB-Firewire used cable, works but will not go up in iTunes.

    I own the original iPod. used USB to firewire cable. A big mistake. now, it works but will not mount on iTunes. tried reset-no good version 1.5 OS

    I don't think there is such a thing as a USB-to-FireWire, not a single cable that actually works.  USB and FireWire are very different, including the power voltage which is used to load.

    So you're saying that he is no longer connects to iTunes, even when you use a FireWire cable and connect to a FireWire port?  Still, he does pay when you connect it to your FireWire adapter?

  • Little something that used to work, but not now?

    Hiya,

    Years in Dreamweaver 8, I made this page: http://deepwater3d.Kol.co.nz

    Now if you resize the window, you will see the image will resize accordingly, well it does not stretch, it won't get cut, it retains its proportions regardless of what screen size you view it from.

    I did that by the size of the width of the image = 100%, height = width\4 * 3

    But today, using the same version of dreamweaver it won't let me enter these values by saying that its not valid.

    How is that possible? I did exactly this years and lol it works very well on the internet? It will not work with forwardslashes or oblique... What can I do to force the height dependent on the width, so I keep my proportions of the image?

    Thank you

    CAScreen shot 2011-10-07 at 7.14.54 PM.jpg

    The HTML code you added years ago is as invalid as it is today.  DW is today much more stringent while allowing you to perform these corruptions.

    Try to remove the specification of the total height.  Who will be resize the image and maintain proportions.

    Hello

    Quote: ' MiFi will not work unless plugged in to the computer.

    Where it has been plugged in before?

    If you are using to connect via Wireless, then it might be that your wireless connection has a problem.

    ----------------------------

    Wi - Fi in general.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  • XPS 13 - Wake from sleep using USB works, but not when lid closed?

    I mainly use my XPS 13 as a desktop replacement - I have the lid closed; monitor and a keyboard, a mouse connected (both wireless).

    I finally managed to get to wake up from its sleep by moving the mouse by activating 'allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' in the device (Win 7 64 bit) Manager, but it does nothing when the lid is closed, which is 99% of the time because I am using a monitor. I have to open the lid and use the power button.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to get this working, or not at all?

    It works fine on my other laptop Dell I bought at the same time (Inspiron 15). One is connected to a TV as a "Media Server", if the lid is also closed all the time, but he wakes up from his sleep when I move the mouse USB wireless.

    OK, it's now solved!

    The A08 BIOS update allows this, BUT the strange thing is that sometimes the option ' USB wake sleep ' is not available after a BIOS flash.

    This time, it was and now I can wake up the laptop from sleep, even with the mouse Wireless USB via a hub!

    Yay!

  • I can't answer received no Apple users iMessages. He used to work, but suddenly it doesn't. I checked all my settings, but nothing seems to work. Help!

    I can't answer received no Apple users iMessages. I checked all my settings and they seem to be set correctly, it has occurred a random recent request to resign in my Apple account. Initially it would not accept my login iCloud, but then he did, and this problem occurred.

    I had a similar problem, in that all messages have been through imessage.    Originally thought it was my mobile phone provider, after a diagnosis on my framework of contacts, is found there is a huge reliability issue in all the rounds of iOS 9 (I have several devices on the different versions of 9).    Before the 9.2 update, I got a lot to reallocate iMessages on the end of contacts (although I might receive).    Contacts have called, I was wondering why I didn't answer.  Here's how I discovered.   Shut iMessage on your iPhone and the text now.  SMS works completely. iMessage is totally reliable.

  • Wireless, used to work but now does not work

    Until recently, I have not had any problems with my wireless.

    We had a problem with our router that I tired to solve and played a bit with some of the internet settings, I think that maybe I changed something permanent as since then the wirelles worked only occasionally (now almost never)

    Now when I try to connect it says there is no network available because there is no installed, wireless network adapters but when I go on the avenues account required suggestions, it seems that nothing is wrong and he said that the drivers are up to date etc.

    I cant get onto the HP wireless assistant when I try to click the icon, nothing happens.

    My computer is HP Windows vista

    any suggestions?

    Hello ireneb,.

    See the documentation that came with your router. There should be an option to reset to factory conditions. If you can reset back to factory conditions all changes will have been removed and you can start from scratch. This time, however, only the details of your ISP username and password instead of tinkering around with all the input parameters and see what happens.

    Hello

    Try doing a system restore. Go to the SEARCH bar and type system restore.
    Once the System Restore screen, select a restore point (it must be before the problem occurred), launch it. Check.
    You can also update the drivers of your computer (the webcam driver). If you do not know how to locate, you can use RadarSync to find out-of-date drivers.
