Lost product I.D. for Windows XP

Try to reinstall windows Xp on a friends computer, but it doesn't have the product code. It includes the documentation with the certificate of Authenticity number. She had built in return unit a company that is out of business, more than likely OEM. It has the original CD with the computer. How can I get the product code for it?

  • Product key required for Windows XP Service Pack 2 download.

    I had to back up my data and reinstall Windows, yesterday. I downloaded Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation network for IT professional and developers using Dell's Support Package. Everything seemed to be working fine until I opened a Word 2002 document and asked for a product key. I ran Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and product key turns out to be xxxxx-xxxxx-GD6GR-K6DP3-4C8MT. What can I do?

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a test free version comes preinstalled when you buy it and that would have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you reinstalled Windows)?

    I ring back again and get an operator who actually knows what they are doing - XP is still supported for activation problems, regardless of the level of MS, if I understand correctly.
    Your problem seems to be that you have installed a version update of XP without having anything to upgrade? (I don't think that was possible).
    Try to install the missing Service Packs - any attempt activation again.

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

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    Hello

    IE was running is very important to the solution to the issue - check below.

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

    BEX errors often are caused by toolbars such as Google, TrendMicro and others. You use one
    3rd toolbars in IE? Cause and solution is the same for Vista and Windows 7.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
    on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave remnants behind which emits causes).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore advanced settings, and then click RESET - APPLY / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on Reset all areas - APPLY / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java still
    installs and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again). Look for other
    possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right.
    Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program, ask
    topic here.

    Could be that a BHO - SpyBHOremover - free - program of autonomous, needs no installation, download, unzip
    and run. Also not all the BHO is bad, that some managed bars of tools and features that you added.
    http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php

    Startup programs
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you never think malware updated, then
    run as a scanner.

    I hope this helps.
