Problem activating Windows after you refresh

• Activation problem of license after you have reinstalled Windows of Geek Squad

  I had a massive virus and went to Geek Squad to the wipe/rebuild the computer.  The new Vista now asks me to activate windows, but I don't have the product keys.  Can you help me with either a general product key or let me know what I need to fix this problem.  Whenever the computer is on he asks me to activate windows.

  Hi ChannelPro11,

  You are asked to provide a product key? If the windows are simply say you must activate windows then just click the icon to activate, select this option to activate via the internet and the system must activate. If, on the other hand, a message comes up saying 'key product already in use', this means that you have already activated using this key and activate this time, you need to call the Windows activation line - see this link from my Web site:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  If, however, you are prompted to enter a product key, then the key must be to the rear of the PC or the bottom if it's a laptop. If you still can not find, or the number based on the PC does not return to the Geek Squad and tell them to sort out the problem for you. They fixed it so it should be in full working condition when you get back. And I mean 'complete order' with a full copy enabled operating system. You took it to repair a copy fully activated in Windows, so you expect him back with a fully enabled (and of course functional) copy of the operating system.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Problem product key after you have reinstalled Windows XP.

  Original title: Re-install windows XP

  My computer has a virus and so I had to format and reinstall windows XP.  I'm at the point where I have to enter the product key, but it won't accept it. I tried to change the B of 8 etc, but nothing helped. Can you help me?

  Hello

  1. are you using a CD provided by the manufacturer of the computer, or you use a retail XP CD?
  2 is the key that you are using a sticker on the computer or the one included with a purchase XP?
  3. What is the exact error you get when you enter the product key?

  If you use the key of a sticker on the computer, you need to be sure to use an OEM provided the CD to reinstall.
  The key to the sticker on a computer that says "OEM" will not be able to activate on a Setup from a retail CD.

• Problem activating windows 7 after a downgrade from windows 8

  I bought a computer with windows 8.1 pro installed and I'm trying to downgrade to windows 7 pro.

  • The license key for 7 I am using is used on another pc downgraded, as well as the pc that it originates
  • I talked to 2 different people at Microsoft. The first says windows 7 must be uninstalled from the previous computer until I can activate it. Is this true? What the point of having a windows 8 license then?
  • The second person told me to contact the computer manufacturer to obtain a license of windows 7. This is not an option for me.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  OEM Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (Major) comes with downgrade rights.

  Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional Retail doesn't.

  For OEMS of Windows 8.1 a single system locked preinstallation SLP key is a unique 25-digit product key integrated in the UEFI BIOS.

  For Windows 7 OEM SLP credits is entered from the installation media. This key works only if the markers in the BIOS are present, it is that the BIOS is checked by the OEM. For this reason, you need to an OEM license and support OEM installation.

• I've updated to firefox 5.0, and when I try to close the window after you open several tabs, they cannot be saved anymore.

  In older versions when I have several tabs open and tried to close the window, he asked me if I really want to close and if I want them reopenned for the next session.

  After updating this feature no longer exists.

  He asks if I don't know that I want to close as many tabs.

  Firefox 4 and later versions Save the previous session automatically, so it is no longer need for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.
  
  Use ' file > leave "or" Firefox > Exit "(Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox") If you want to restore multiple windows.
  
  You can use ' history > restore previous Session ' to get the previous session at any time.
  
  You may need to click the Firefox orange/gray button to see history.
  
  There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

• Problem on Windows after upgrading RAM

  I have 6 years, Alienware m11x R.2 running Windows 7 x 64 SP1. Since the ole ' computer is still alive and kickin. I thought I'd do a quick refresher on the RAM for an inexpensive upgrade.

  I'm not an expert but to build my own PC and was demolished and rebuilt this laptop particular (among others) several times. The upgrade of RAM has always been something that requires very little attention or other planning that by ensuring that you have compatible specifications.

  I upgraded the RAM this laptop came with a year after the purchase of a Kingston Hyper-X. www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

  I remember having no problem with the installation of this RAM and it was perfectly fine since then.

  A few weeks ago, I ordered the DDR3L RAM, after starting the computer difficulties, I realized the error, but also said that the RAM must remain compatible with 1.5V power outlets. But maybe it was a compatibility problem, so I returned it regularly DDR3 RAM, shown here. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820231582

  Outside the actual size of RAM I don't see any other difference with specifications.

  Here's the problem: when I install the new RAM I asked to do a startup repair. No matter if I select run repair or normally I get sent to windows startup. This repeatedly. When I re - install the old RAM is the same screen, but I'm able to start or I can choose to run the repair. (I did both.) This happens with DDR3 and DDR3L RAM. No difference.

  I have triple checked that the RAM is installed correctly and BIOS sees all the 16 gb.

  Advice and assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

• Problem activating Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600, which originally had XP Home

  I have some difficulty to activate MY PERSONALLY PURCHASED VERSION of Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600 workstation that initially provided with XP Home.  I have TWO Codes of 25 character key true = 1 The printed on the sticker on the computer AND the one supplied with the disk I bought for my laptop that was stolen last week.  I entered two key during the windows process codes activate and they the system tells me invalid or incorrect product key code.  I WAS talking with a Microsoft Tech Rep on the phone trying to solve this problem and has been disconnected when put on "Hold" and now cannot get through to a real person again.  CAN SOMEONE ' ONE/SOMEONE' HELP ME PLEASE?

  Hello

  Both your XP, the laptop and the Dell operating systems will have been oem licenses. OEM licenses are tied to the computer that they were originally installed on. In regards to the Pro license you can see in your report where is says Windows license Type: OEM System Builder.

  The only XP version that can be legally charged to your Dimension is one that has been provided with it by Dell, i.e. the XP Home license.

  activation of character for home 25 codes do not work with the Pro, the reverse is also true.

• Problems with sound after you install the operating system

  I have a compaq presario that originally vista os, the system crashed and I could get the recovery work so I installed windows xp and now I'm having problems with the sound. What should I do? I tried to locate the drivers requarding info. I keep getting error messages indicating that I have no audio device. Is it possible to go back to vista? I don't have an instillation cd or recovery for vista cd. Any help would be great.

  Hello

  Go to the link drivers HP > search your computer number model > XP OS > download and install the audio drivers.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  If no audio driver XP is available, HP provides them.

  Through the installation of XP, you have destroyed the provided HP recovery Partition Vista to reinstall Vista:

  Solve a common problem of recovery with the HP Compaq computers.
  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be started from either the desktop or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.
   
  Contact HP and ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks.
  Normally, they do this for a small fee.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
