PC refurbished with Windows XP preinstalled.character keys have been disabled

I bought a refurbished with pre-installed Windows PC.  I was prompted to enter the product key to activate.  I find the new COA product key, but I'm unable to type all the characters due to the keys on the PC being disabled by Microsoft during the registration process.  Now what should I do?

Yes, it seems that you have a non-genuine product key. You might be able to phone activation, but probably not.

  • New NB200 with Windows 7 preinstalled Fn shortcuts keyboard does not work

    I just purchase the NB200 later with Windows 7 preinstalled (new version with 250 GB hard drive).

    The machine is straight out of the box, no change.

    I have to do something to activate the access keys.

    Thank you

    You are right. New portable computers are delivered with the settings and everything should work fine.
    I don't have Win7 on my laptop but I presume that it is similar to Vista, then go to start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities and check if there are shortcuts to restart Flash cards.

  • I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer. I did a test drive of Works 9.0, and lacked features that I found.

    I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer.  On my old XP computer, I used to use Word 97 and later also used a version of works that might have been 2004 (?).  (Usually I only used word processing and Excel.)

    I took a test drive of Works 9.0, and found features that I liked were missing, specifically:

    • Previously with Word I could draw snazzy borders on the table cells, which some had graduated shading that looked almost like a real 3-d picture frame.  These borders changed to something else (rather ugly) when I took an old Word 97 and load in Works 9.0 word processing document.
    • With a table created in Word 97, it was easy to summarize a bunch of numbers that were all stacked in a column (or do other types of math).  Could not do with the Works 9.0 word processor.

    (These features were absent from Open Office as well, or at best have been tedious to use.)

    Word usually has features more and better than the works (such as those mentioned above)?

    Any suggestions on what I should use for word processing? Should not be the latest version, but should be compatible with Windows 7.

    Office 2007 and later nothing will work on Windows 7 but do not expect the full set of features in Office 97. Office 2007 and beyond have their own sets of complete functionality... :-)

    The problem is the purchase of older versions of Office. Microsoft does not provide them and you won't get one of them cheap.

    Corel has always produced WordPerfect... http://www.WordPerfect.com/us/product/Office-suite/?sso_test=true

    Free and Open Office are the alternatives...

  • I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  When I opened the Photos, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been published in iPhoto.  This never happened in iPhoto.  How can I fix?

    I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

    EDIT: Additional information

    Things to watch for.

    Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN keys packed with the media looking legitimate. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy

    If you bought a key, with or without DVD or packaging of EBAY, or any other person or seller and this could be a MSDN key because your key has been blocked you can check a few things yourself, if you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product, however some counterfeit software are thus convince you may not be able to identify it as such.

    To check your PID press the key to victory and the pause at the same time, or system opened via the Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and properties related to computing PID will look something like this 12345-067-1234567-54321, the part that you are interested in is the section to three digits, if it corresponds or is included in one or two digits for the examples below You probably have a MSDN key.

    065, 066, 067 for Ultimate, box 220 for Pro and the 230, 231 area of award, there are probably others, but they should be close to those that are displayed

    If you have a similar PID, or your key is blocked and you want the confirmation message, a new thread with a report from the MGADIAG tool, download and run the tool, click on copy and paste it in a new post here and Darin Smith of MS can check your key for you. NEVER send your keys, the report will be sufficient.

  • Problem with windows vista knowing that I have a wireless device.

    Currently, I rebuilt an old laptop. I used a copy of windows, I confess, vista ultimate x 64. I installed this on the hard drive, then I partitioned to install a copy of Linux Mint13. Currently, I can load either the operating systems without problem. My problem is that on my Windows operating system, I have no network to connect to the internet in windows device is. I have a drive with windows on it, but I used to repair a unit. Now, when I use linux, which I do now, I can get online very well, because he knows that I got on the computer to use hardware wise. Why Windows Vista doesn't know I have wireless, etc. but Linux don't? Thank you in advance for any help.

    Try to download and install the latest driver wireless on the support site of the manufacturer of the computer specific to your computer model.

  • Download windows 7 OS from a flash drive, I have a new Tablet comes with windows 8 and does not have a CD/DVD player?

    I feel then very hard to adjust windows 8 to work properly I don't want.

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

  • using advanced actions to determine if the correct keys have been selected

    I use Captivate 5 on Windows 7 to create a quiz that will test the ability of the users to select inappropriate e-mail parts by clicking on them.  So far, I have set up the scene and left buttons to image for each item in the email.  Each sentence, the address line, the subject line, etc it's own image button.  The goal is to create a user by clicking on the item of electronic mail and it highlighted red (selected).  Once the user has highlighted all the elements that they think is inappropriate, it will be then click on the ' send' button (button image), that will calculate if the correct image buttons have been selected.

    Here is an example of the stage with all image buttons:

    11-19-2012 4-12-03 PM.png

    My question is how I would start setting up advanced actions 1) select each button when you click it, and then turn off highlight when clicked again) 2 calculate if the correct buttons are selected when you click on the button send 3) the user to correct or incorrect slide, based on their selections

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    FOR INFO.  The right answer for this mail would be if

    Button_15

    Button_17

    Button_18

    are selected and

    Button_12

    Button_16

    Button_19

    Button_21

    Button_22

    are not selected

    OK, an example of file which seems to work. I created in Captivate 6 but the workflow will be the same in 5.5. Avoided using the new features. I used boxes to click on text fragments. I was wondering if you want to limit the number of fragments which can be clicked (is not in the scenario):

    • Enter by clicking on the parts of text, their labeled CB1_NOK, CB_2OK,... even if it is not so important if she'll give a score or not. I had 3 good.
    • To correct, click boxes, I added a score (5) in the accordion reporting, audited include in Quiz and add to the Total. to bad I did nothing in this accordion; Click on boxes have a break before the break of the button check, I've shortened their duration at 2secs, while check button stops at 2.5secs
    • I put a partially transparent rectangle on each fragment of text that has been set to invisible at the beginning (properties panel), marked their HL1, HL2,...
    • Created a variable user for each area of click with an initial value of 0: v_cb1, v_cb2, v_cb3...
    • Created a conditional action advanced for each box, used two decisions (but Then/Else was also possible), labeled them even as a click box (is possible if the click is first box). Here are the screenshots as an example of the second click box; ATTENTION: the sequence of the first and second decisions is important:

    • The Check button triggers another conditional action, where I check the variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored of system and branch to the appropriate slide. I used a slide "Correct" and "Incorrect":
