My motherboard is dead on my old computer.
Because of my motherboard failure, I can not reactive windows xp on my new computer. It is said that the product key is not valid. What should I do?
If it's an OEM license, the license is dead when your mother did. A new Board of Directors is considered to be a new computer you can actually buy a license for it.
I hope this helps.

My motherboard went bad on my old computer, but the hard drive was OK. I bought a new computer and plugged my old hard drive to it via a usb adapter. I would like to import or copy my favorites from the old hard drive to my new, but I can't find where they are. I was unable to determine the search for articles on the web. Be advised that my old hard drive is basically nothing more than a place of storage for files at this point. My old operating system is windows XP, and my new system is Windows Home Premium.

Your old profile is located here in Win XP and W2K:

The old functions drive crashed motherboard perfectly in this most recent computer as drive "F". However I can't find a way to access the library from the bookmarks that I had before moving here, this player to the newest computer then reinstall fresh Firefox.
Is there maybe any file system or another that has perhaps kept my bookmarks of Firefox library?
That should not happen, Firefox would have no reason to look for an old profile everywhere except the reader where the active Windows version is installed. Make sure you Show hidden files and folders in folder-> Display Options in Control Panel.

I have a license for MS Office Pro 2007 (US only) (OEM) that came with a new Dell laptop. The motherboard on the computer crashed and I bought a new computer (Dell no). Of course, I can't uninstall Office from your old computer. Can I use my existing license to install/activate the Office on my new computer. The new computer has the trial version which allows 25 uses. My product key does not work because it has not been uninstalled or disabled (I guess).
Your product key does not work because you can not use it to "move" from an edition of the trial and because it has already been used (on the other system). You must do it manually and I do not know the manual process for Office products. As an OEM license, I do not think it can be moved to another machine - but if this applies to operating systems, I am not sure that it applies to the Office products (I've never had this issue before). It may be perfectly fine once you uninstall the trial and download the appropriate version of Microsoft. You need to ask the experts.
Please repost your question in the Forums Office: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeinstall/threads where specialists in office wil be more than happy to answer your question.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

My old desktop computer recently died of a motherboard failure. As I understand it, I should be able to install windows 7 from my old computer to the new, but only if I delete the old installation.
Does this mean that I have to format the old HARD drive? Because the old computer HARD drive seems to be alive, I would retrieve the data on a new machine first, before I have to format and I need to install windows on the new computer to get the data from the old HARD drive.
No, it is taken on trust that the old installation is no longer active, there is no mechanism to remove the old license in order to make a valid new. Remove the Windows directory (or rename) makes the old system inoperative.
You find that the automatic authentication fails on new construction and need to call the licensing Center to check that you have only one installation. Apart from the OEM rules if a license has been activated too often, and recently, it fails in a 1 time.

I am a registered owner of Lightroom 6 but my old computer (PC) is dead and is seemingly irreparable... I just bought a MacPro and would like to know if it is possible to download the Mac version 6 on it without having to pay for another license.
Hi Charlay,
Yes, you can download Lightroom on your Mac computer from this link: Install Photoshop Lightroom
And you can then activate Adobe programs on two machines, you will be able to activate it without having to buy it again.
Kind regards

motherboard crashed on the old computer and need to install on a new computer
Motherboard crashed on the old computer; bought a new one but I'm not sure how to install it. In addition, I must renew the subscription. Don't know how to move forward from here. I also forgot to mention that the creative cloud is used on two separate computers
Hi Larry,
You'll want to start the installation process on the computer with the new motherboard. Reinstall the application cloud and then creative applications. The procedure is described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html
Hope that helps,

· My old Win XP computer died - it is completely unusable. I bought a new PC with Win 7 Pro and 1 TB. I still have the old HARD DRIVE (250 GB) which I have attached on the new computer using an external enclosure supports SATA drives. The external hard drive is connected to the computer in USB 3.0. I checked that the new computer can see the external hard drive. (I also used for backups by changing the hard drive with a 2 TB drive 'mass storage' - that works.)
I searched the internet for possible solutions and found no help. If the transfer of files from Microsoft would change the disc to analyze, it would be simple. But if I select the OLD computer it scans the disk I'm on (new) - automatically.
Is there anyone who has had the same problem? He must be because computers die all the time and people buy new computers - who then, somehow, they get the former transferred files. I could do it manually, but that wouldn't change the settings. Last resort would be to buy an old computer XP (SATA), replace the drive. Transfer the files, and then sell this computer.
You may be able to recover your data files, but I hope that you will set up your new system to automatically backup a second internal hard drive or an external USB hard drive.
This suggestion may not work, but it's worth a try. Buy an external USB drive enclosure. They come in two sizes 2.5 "for the portable computer drives and 3.5" for desktop disks. You can purchase adapters for 3.5 "envelopes so that they can also be used with a portable player. Place the hard drive in the enclosure and connect to a USB port of another computer. Several hard disks are more able to start, but the contents of the disc can still be accessed, read and copied from the disk because you do not use the operating system on a failed disk.
Here is an example of the type of device, I suggest:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=external+hardrive+enclosure&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=14388537836&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=556960941559985931&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32uorbwbuk_bYou need only to the speaker, that you see are not necessarily more expensive. Thereafter, you can put an old hard drive usable, an abandoned because you need a larger drive internal, in the enclosure and use it as additional external storage.
