  You have an Acer laptop, Packard Bell Windows Vista computer running?

  Packard Bell OEM Windows can only be used on machines from Packard Bell.

  If the label says XP, then the machine was initially delivered with XP,

  and the one who sold you the machine will rip you off with an illegal copy of Vista.

  If you can, get your money back.

  If not, you will have either to reinstall XP, or get a legitimate copy of something more recent.

• Why don't my reinstallation of Windows XP accepts the key that comes with it?

  I have had trouble with my computer and decided to back up everything on an external drive (fact), reformat the disk (done) and re-install the operating system WIN XP Professional.  But when you try to do so, the system will NOT accept the authentication key of the user supplied with the disc.  Does anyone have an idea what might happen?  Thanks for your attention!

  Looks like you may not have used the same CD that came with the product key.

  It must match edition, architecture and type with Windows XP.

  (Home, professional, Tablet PC, Media Center, etc.)
  (x 86 or x 64)
  (OEM, retail, MSDN)

  Although the latter can be "bypassed".

• Windows XP Home Product Key issues

  I'm in a jam of sorts.  I have a Dell laptop which has crushed and need to reinstall XP Home.  The problem is that I can't find my XP Home CD that came with my Dell.  I have a CD Windows XP Home from a walkway all-in-one who is dead and is now trashed.  I ran the installation worked fine all except for the start of the Activation.  He said the incorrect product key.  I used a tool recommended on another site to save the old product key upward, but nothing seems to work - the old key from the Dell CD or one of my gateway.  I don't know what to do at this point?

  If you have an OEM version of Windows XP, product key sticker should be placed on the computer/laptop tower by the retailer. Note that Microsoft will not be able to help you with an OEM version.

  Contact Dell to discuss it.

• How to move the location of the key issues in Win 7

  In vista, I could go to the folder default Favorites (and links, downloads etc.) and under properties, change their location.  This meant that I was able to have all my favorites on my E: drive and not lost somewhere inside c: This makes backups easier etc.

  So to rephrase the question how to win 7 and IE 8 use Favorites in e:\favorites rather than c:\users\xyz\favorites\

• Updates simple SQL with the key issue of research

  Hi, I have two tables TA and TB, where TA contains the fields IDS, FULLNAME, TYPE and tuberculosis contains the fields ID, MIDDLENAME
  I want to update the names in TB for first names only according to TA where TB.ID = TA.ID and TA. TYPE = 'ABC '.
  I wrote this
  setting a day of TB B MIDDLENAME set =
  (
  Select substr (FULLNAME, instr (FULLNAME, ' ') + 1, instr (FULLNAME, ' ', 1) - length (FIRSTNAME) - 2) of
  (
  SELECT ID, FULLNAME, substr (FULLNAME, 1, instr (FULLNAME, ' ')-1) first NAME
  Ta
  where TYPE = 'ABC '.
  ) AT
  where A.ID = B.ID
  )
  
  I want to know if there may be no optimization because this SQL is super slow at the moment.
  Server Oracle 11 g is
  Thank you!

  Maybe (easier to write, you can use the fusion too)

  update (select b.middlename existing_middle,
          substr(a.fullname,
                 instr(a.fullname,' ',1,1) + 1,
                 instr(a.fullname,' ',-1,1) - instr(a.fullname,' ',1,1) - 1
                ) extracted_middle
            from tb b,
                 ta a
           where a.id = b.id
             and a.type = 'ABC'
         )
     set existing_middle = extracted_middle
  

  Have no where clause after update, you update all lines

  update TB B
    set MIDDLENAME = (select substr(FULLNAME,instr(FULLNAME,' ') + 1,instr(FULLNAME,' ', -1) - length(FIRSTNAME) - 2)
                        from (select ID,FULLNAME,substr(FULLNAME,1,instr(FULLNAME, ' ') - 1) FIRSTNAME
                               from TA
                              where TYPE = 'ABC'
                             ) A
                       where A.ID = B.ID
                     )

• OEM Windows installed on a new system and being told that my key is invalid.

  Product key problem

  A year ago, I bought a version of XP SP3 OEM and installed on a computer (clean install).  No problems.  A few months later, I had to wipe the drive and reinstall.  Once again, no problem.  Now I got a new computer, but when I try to install with the same disk (clean install) and the same product key, I like that is not valid.  Some things that are not a factor:

  Damaged drive.  The disc is impeccable.

  Error in the Enter key.

  Key is not not the disc.

  I don't see how something other than the computer, the key and installation disc could play a role.  I hope that Microsoft does not know what I do in my room.  I even traded keyboards, that someone suggested that this could be a factor (speaking with an accent keyboard?).

  My next step is to wipe the drive and start over, but I think I'll meet the same problem, because players will be the same.

  Any ideas?

  After the activation of Windows XP on the older PC, having to reactivate Windows XP is not so rare that are several hardware changes within a short time, not to mention the motherboard.

  Change the motherboard is a reactivation guaranteed event.  Just change all the RAM, PSU, CPU and made it a videocard in a few weeks.  "Activate Windows" more on wikipedia lists the 8 areas checked.

  The OEM Windows disk from the manufacturer-, Dell, HP etc. get of course do this even in the BIOS.  Dell OEM Windows on a non Dell motherboard, which I thought would do, would lead to shop for an another Windows Installer.

  This is how Windows mysteriously know material changes without connection to Microsoft.com - the BIOS chip.

  Beware of sellers on ebay with a still sealed OEM disc, but with a touch of product USED or not.   OEM disc will work as it clearly says right on it:

  "Relocation... CD '. Don't use this software to reinstall the operating system on a computer (mfgr)... For distribution only with a new computer (mfgr). »

  Hello
  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

  Unfortunately, you cannot use the keys provided for Windows 8 for Windows 7. In any case, directly upgrade your installation from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The keys are specific to the Windows versions, editions and architectures. They cannot be used between.
