• Pop box on computer asking me to activate windows.

  I have a box come up on my computer asks me to activate windows, I have a copy saved Windows xp already and have done so for 3 years. This is the first time he came, what is a virus or a pirate? It seems that it is from Microsoft but told me to ignore it, it says I have 3 days to activate it.  It is said to reduce software piracy to activate windows now.

  Try to activate again. If the online activation does not work, try the phone activation. If your computer has a sticker of COA above with your key, you can change the Windows key to him.

• My computer is slower after reinstalling windows 7

  A few days ago, my computer starts not up to scratch the windows recovery options helped, so I decided to reinstall windows 7.

  As soon as he finished, I installed all my drivers from the manufacturer and ran windows update several times so I'm sure that I have all the necessary drivers.

  but for some reason, my computer is SLOWER, it was before the reinstall, you would think it would be faster? I have no idea what is wrong, for a bit, I thought it was Skype causing the lag but after that uninstall and restart my computer that wasn't even the problem.

  The disc is not erase the disc itself.  You do this by removing all partitions up to unallocated space, as I said above.  If this has not been done so installation is not really clean.

  But there are many other tips and optimizations in Clean reinstall Windows 7 that all add to the best installation possible.   So I'd go on to see if the system can be improved.  If this isn't the case, you might want to start over with a clean slate.

• I have no sound on the computer after you have reinstalled Windows.

  Hello

  I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC and I was a little proud of myself, have internet, email, video works... but then no sound. :(

  So the most common answer seems to be getting the correct driver.

  I have a motherboard ASUS P7-P55-M, I went to the ASUS website and got the best audio driver for this mobo, which is: VIA_Audio_V6019500_XPVistaWin7.

  I therefore installed that, and then one encouraging thing is that DURING the installation of this audio driver, my speakers made a sound that made me think that they are the least recognized, or this audio driver is at least to see them there?

  But then after the reboot, I still have no sound.

  So I tried to look at the specs for this mobo, and saw the audio chip itself is VIA VT1708S. So I followed the links and found a driver for it, but after I installed that now, it seems that it is just a version still newer same driver (the preceding being 9500, 10200 or this is what it looks like.)

  in any case, this newer version and the one outside the site of ASUS, as well as older drivers, I think, just install a version or one that other: HD VDeck.

  Common responses include at this time something about the Realtek drivers (can't see how tho so it shall not apply, or using those on drivers THROUGH), or Windows Troubleshooter, or something in the playback functions, or an old or Windows driver conflict with these new?), but I have tried these things (or I thought I did lol).

  But I still have no sound on my speakers.

  Very frustrating because it feels like I'm 98% done my re - install, and it looks like its just some simple setting somewhere in Windows or this HD VDeck that will get things working.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

  Original title: speakers work not after fresh windows 7 installed, please help!

  Hello

  Thank you very much for your answers. :)

  I formatted completely, no folder Windows.old and also no printed dxdiag, I myself for the kicks, which I'll make sure to have next time lol.

  Device Manager is fine, I went over that and basically each sound option of Windows or menu, that I could find, which made me think the problem somewhere else.

  So I took the suggestion of Nirmal and used automatically diagnose it and fix the link he provided. Suggestions of the convenience store has really helped as much as he said everything has been updated, or was not a problem, but what I noticed, it was what a screen in the Microsoft Fixit program running:

  Resolution of Windows Audio playback problems

  Which of these devices you want to troubleshoot?

  Select the device that you are having problems with. If the device is not listed, select device are not.

  Speakers - VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the front of the computer).

  Interface SPDIF (TX0) VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the open or pull-open sliding panel at the back of the computer).

  Output HDMI AMD - AMD high definition Audio Device (Connector for this unit is located in the HDMI connector).

  Unlisted device.

  Now when I continued from here, I don't have all the answers useful, but it makes me start thinking about the plugs/connectors themselves, rather than the drivers or anything else.

  So, I've discovered that my audio interface (HD VDeck) installed with the audio drivers of my motherboard, has no options is disable the jacks on the front panel, or the possibility of re - configure jacks how you want. If you want your speaker system to get out the same plug as it was before, you MUST be able to reconfigure your catch. Otherwise, making default value for your speakers, according to the drivers from the manufacturer of your, is actually not the green plug, I used, but among the other instead. This other outlets, or maybe even just the front headphone or microphone jack will work instead.

  So to summarize:

  If you did a clean install of Windows 7 (or a similar version), and that you have installed the drivers of your sound and re-configured your settings Windows Sound (speakers as value by default, etc.), then you did everything up to this point correctly. At this point, you MUST have an audio program like Realtek, which allows you to reconfigure or disable the catch. Otherwise, your speakers, by default, is no longer just the audio jack green we are accustomed to, but rather another "back". You MUST use the other rear socket (most likely the speaker FRONT plug), or one of your jacks façade, in plugging your speakers instead.

  This may sound funny, but this workaround works, unless you get an audio program to reassign the normal green audio jack.

  I looked at hundreds of messages on the last few days trying to get this resolved. I wish I could go back and share this info with all these people now lol.

  Thanks for the info, and please share with all those who have problems with Windows reinstall and sound.

  Kind regards

• I need to reinstall windows XP on 2 of my desktops.

  These computers are older models, both purchased at the store of the local computer and have all two CD keys on the case. Neither one of them came with a Windows XP CD. What I have to buy another copy of Windows XP to do this?

  Computers can have a recovery hard disk partition. Usually, you go to the recovery process by pressing a key of function (such as F10) to start the computer. You do not have the sticker with the product key certification authority, which means that you can use an OEM XP generic installation disk (must match the version of XP that is installed), but legally a computer salesman shall deliver to the purchaser of the computer a way to reinstall Windows.

If I was to reformat my computer would be I reinstall windows using the natures CD upgrade or do I need to reload XP and then update? I'm confused sorry if this doesn't make much sense!

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer (if you have not destroyed it when formatting)..

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium on your friends computer and impossible to activate

  So a while a friend died and I got his laptop. It came as a Windows 7 Home premium, but he did not like Windows and it has switched to Linux. I switched it back to Windows, but I just use a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, I already had, leading to a "non-genuine" version of Windows. It has been so for a while now and the message "Activate Windows now" slows down the initial start-up; I can't put a wallpaper I was just wondering if it is possible to get an another record since the original key is taken on a technical level. If it's useful, 'caught', original product key on the sticker of the laptop is {deleted}

  Original title: activation (?) Windows 7

  If you still have the sticker / product key that belongs to this laptop then try the following:

  (A) If you have used the Home Premium edition you drive "had", if it is a version of "Retail" (not a recovery from another PC disk) then:

  Open a prompt (run as administrator) and type the following at the command prompt:

  slmgr - upk (press the Enter key)

  slmgr - ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (where XXXXX is your product key and press the Enter key

  slmgr - ato (and press the Enter key)

  Leave command prompt it a check to see if Windows is activated.

  (B) If you used a Home Premium recovery disc that belongs to another PC, you should reinstall Windows and activate using the product key that belonged to your laptop from a friend.

  (1) download the Windows 7 proper. ISO file that includes Service Pack 1
  (Note: must match for your product key version)

  How do I know if I have a version of 32 or 64 Bit of Windows installed on my computer:

  SHA1 hash: 6C9058389C1E2E5122B7C933275F963EDF1C07B9

  (2) after downloading the correct .iso file install HashCalc and validate the SHA1 hash value
  is correct.

• Since my computer says my password is incorrect, and I can't find my disk how can I reinstall Windows 7? It requires a password to start

  My system rebooted since an update and when I tried to enter my password it says that it was incorrect.  I tried to enter my old password and that has not worked.  I have searched everywhere for my password reset disk and can't find it.  I went on the internet to see if there was anything that I could do and he said that I have to reinstall Windows 7 on laptop.  I tried and the first thing he did was ask for my password that he rejected.  The other user can login but is not an administrator, so she can't help me.  I ran full system antivirus and it says that my system was safe and no virus found.  Is any help available?

  No, you don't need to a password to re - install Windows, but I don't think that such a drastic measure is necessary. Let's focus on the issue of opening of first session. There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:

  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with password key file (works only if you have taken the time to create such a key file and you can actually locate).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (only works if you threw down the password somewhere.)
