My company goes bankrupt. They gave me the computer they use with a XP disc but I have no activation key
Hello
So I have this old model that was given to me by my company when the company went under (a place in R & D that loses funding). It seems to be a generic PC cobbled together from pieces of the difference, some being spare parts. It has a sticker of windows vista in the detail but xp pro installed. They gave me an xp pro disk. However when I uses a key Locator to get the license key and try to use it with the disc, it says it is unacceptable so I think they gave me the wrong disc.
Is there something I can do? May download and install vista? (shudders at the thought)
Thank you.
Hello
I'll try and help you, but be informed that Microsoft has a policy of a license per machine. If the computers were running on the volume license key, then you will not be able to activate Windows. Usually the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee.
You can find that some clarification on licenses in volume on this article. To find detailed information on the single user license agreement, go through the link and check.
Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.
and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.
That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.
The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked. Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019
I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted. In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new. Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case. In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.
If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):
Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver. However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.
Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.
Do not run the scans at the same time. Each scan will take a while. Start one and go do a non-it chore. Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.
Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both. If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.
Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs
Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904
Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).
Run the Fixit routine. Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete. It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values." This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode. If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked). This may work anyway. You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.
After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software. You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place. You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?
Original title: windows 8.
Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!
My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?
I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?
If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.
Roger
No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.
The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
What is OEM software? :

I have a new iMac and used the disk to install version 6 of photoshop, but I have upgraded to version 12, but its version 6. How can I get version 12? I tried to uninstall, but it does not ask the serial number version 12. Thank you
If you want version 12, then you don't need to install version 6, you must install version 12. If you are really talking about Photoshop Elements, not Photoshop, then the link below, you should get to the download.
