    Just install Windows XP SP3 manually...

    Before do you - make sure you have restored all the way back to Internet Explorer 6 * and * all your drivers for hardware devices are the latest version of each of the web pages by the hardware manufacturer (Microsoft did not your hardware - to be of course checked manually for the most recent driver by visiting the Web pages or the manufacturers yourself and find the latest driver for any model device (s) you have - map) motherboard chipset video, audio, network, etc.)

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • I need to reinstall Windows Vista but the sticker on the laptop product key is not readable.

    My partner has an Acer laptop running Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. He needs a complete reinstallation of Windows because there a lot of problems now. The problem is the sticker of the product key on the laptop is often illegible. I tried to use the Magic Jelly Bean finder key to resolve this issue, but the key does not match what the letters which are readable on the sticker. I tried this on my own laptop and had the same problem (sticker key did not key on the computer). Neither laptops have had Windows reinstalled before. I learned that the keys posted by Magic Jelly Bean are in fact license keys of Volume factory installed by the OEM rather than found on the stickers product keys and Volume license keys cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

    His cell phone doesn't have a recovery disk or a recovery partition, but even if she did, given its current state, a complete reinstallation is what it takes. Her cell phone is not come with a Windows Installation DVD, either, but we can borrow one from a friend who owns a disk with the same version of Windows as his laptop and I know that works perfectly. We just need a way to recover the product key that was on the sticker. We are not ready to buy a new copy of Windows that we already have a license (through the purchase of the laptop) key.

    PS I remember that I helped my father after reinstall Windows XP. We tried both the key on the sticker of his PC and the one that we found on the PC itself (Volume key). In the end, only the key on the sticker has worked. This confirms that a Volume license key cannot be used to reinstall Windows.

    Hello

    We cannot help you with your product key and there are no records of loan use

    recovery discs are brand and the specific model

    and product key finder programs will not help you find product keys that you can use vista preinstalled in these circumstances

    to reinstall vista use either disk or recovery partition recovery manufacturer, since they do not normally require an input key product on your part

    The manufacturer must provide a way to reinstal vista or by disk or a recovery Partition

    Contact Acer recovery Vista disc

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    and Acer has a "hidden" recovery partition

    Normally with an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process, or if it is still ongoing, you go to section eRecovery under [programs and search for how to make recovery discs and the use of the recovery partition

    original title: have trouble to install Windows XP

    Hello sandrine,.

    Any CD will do the job as long as it is the same version as your XP, i.e. family/professional version.

    You can borrow a CD from someone you know who has the same windows?

    In addition, many PC have a disk based recovery partition that will do the installation for you – check the documentation for your PC how to access at boot time.

    If you do not find the documentation back to me with the make and model of your PC, and I can help others.
