My system crashed, I reinstalled Windows 7, now Microsoft asks that I purchase a new license
Built my own computer and bought Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Installed it and everything went well. I installed a software that eventually crashed my system, I did a clean install of my Windows 7 Pro. Now MS tells me that I have to buy a new license. He thinks that my old installation is done on another computer (I've added a new material since - maybe if I get out?).
Of course, I will not buy another license - this is the same computer.
Did you change the motherboard?
If you have purchased an OEM / System Builder of Windows 7 version, then change the motherboard cancels your product key.
If you have a commercial version try the phone activation even if you has or has not changed the motherboard.

I reciently reinstalled windows and now the fence, restore down and minimize buttons are not mixed together. they are indervidual buttons. Have all the updates and service pack installed.
I saw the screen shot, I think that Aero is disabled, or the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service is disabled or stopped. Try to run the troubleshooter 'display the Aero effects. " And when firstly, you had the drivers that do NOT support Aero and then updates, Windows does NOT automatically update the settings. You must recaulculate the computer for Aero Performance Index is enabled.
Or you can see more help on this page, which contains explanations of the Aero and a link to a Web page for downlading an application which solves the problems.
Hope that helps!

I have Photoshop CS4 and I need to reinstall from CD after a computer crash and reinstall Windows 7 but it will not reinstall.
This could be to uninstall because it used entirely from the control panel of Windows 7. Can anyone help?
Uninstall what you can the normal way via the Control Panel, and then use the CS cleanup tool. Then try to reinstall. You might want to try an installation download rather than the disc if it continues to fail.

Reinstalled Windows XP now WLAN is not recognized - Satellite Pro L20
I reinstalled Windows XP on my Satellite Pro L20.
In Device Manager, I have a number of yellow question marks, which means that the operating system has not installed the drivers and therefore does not recognize the device.
I downloaded the v5.3.0.35 Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Atheros dated 09/12/07 and tried to install these next to the 'Network controller' device, but nothing helped.
Someone has an idea of what I might hurt or something else I could try? Sole purpose of the laptop is wireless connectivity, so I'm anxious to get this sort.
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.
Hello Thomas
It will be interesting to know what L20 you exactly (L20 - xxx). It will be easier to identify what material is built into it.
Anyway, as far as I know this laptop comes with operating system Windows XP Home edition and will be best solution to install using the supplied OS recovery media. The OS will be installed just after 20 minutes and all the hardware components are configured correctly.
Of course, you install OS on your own. On the download page of Toshiba just follow instructions order facilities and avoid all the problems.
Back to the Atheros WLAN card. After you download the driver Atheros for Windows XP Home edition, open the folder INSTALL and run the setup.exe file. What happens when you do this?

After you have reinstalled CS5 Design Premium on my laptop, I tried to update. I got a list of updates to do, but they all failed. When I clicked on the "contact customer service" link on the screen of the failure, I got a page with a message that says "Error during upgrade installation", and further down the page, it says "this serial number is not for a product calling» I contacted the chat from Adobe, assuming that they needed to reactivate the product, given that I had been unable to turn off the previous version before reinstalling Windows, but the chat agent said I should ask in the forum. I have no idea what to do at this stage, so any help would be welcome.

Your Windows Xp disk is missing from the sata/raid drivers to detect the hard drive. This problem can be solved in two ways that I know.
First of all, you can slipstream the drivers in the creation of a new disk of Windows Xp disc. Second, you can enter your bios and disable the ahci.
