  Help!

  Is there someone out there who can help me solve this problem?

  I have a PC with Windows XP Professional 2002, Service Pack 2, control my LC - MS instrument that uses the MS Xcalibur software.  Four weeks ago, I had a PC crash and re installed Windows XP by using the CD of Installation Re.  On Thursday last week, he came a message that Windows must be enabled.  I tried by phone, but my install ID has not been accepted.  This PC came with Win XP is already installed.  I find it very strange that it should be a problem to activate it once more!

  Can someone please help me solve this problem?

  It is very important to me, because the PC is to control the instrument SM - which is the work horse in my business.

• Problem with the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate

  Hello

  My Dell laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit version. But there was a hardware problem, and I had to re - reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell laptop. But then, without knowing it, I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (for which I had the key too) & began to work on it. Later, when some drivers were not installed correctly because of compatibility issues, I realized the truth.

  Then I tried to update my Windows 7 Professional current operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate-operating system by using Windows Anytime Upgrade without having to re - install Windows from scratch, I have so many applications and data on my laptop now. And I used the key of Windows 7 Ultimate version I have with my Dell laptop. But the key is not be accepted by the Windows Anytime Upgrade application and the following error message is displayed:

  "Enter a different upgrade key

  The upgrade key you have entered is an edition of Windows that does not work with Windows Anytime Upgrade. Enter a different upgrade key. "

  Please help me in this regard to solve this problem so that I can improve my Windows 7 operating system without having to re - install from scratch.

  Thank you

  Note: Retail 'Full' or 'Upgrade' product keys will work when you use the Express Upgrade feature.

  Upgrade Express 'can' not work (check with the manufacturer of the computer support team) for users who have the OEM and system integrators or keys, this applies also to VL (Volume License), - MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) / DreamSpark or pedagogical keys that does not / do support the Anytime Upgrade option. KMS users consult your administrator before attempting to perform an Express upgrade.

  The key that came with your mobile PC is an OEM key, which most likely why it fails to upgrade.

  Honestly, it looks that your system needs a new reinstall of Windows 7. It should reinstall applications such as Microsoft Office and drivers for devices such as your scanner, printer. If you wish not to do this, follow these steps:

  Check your hard drive for errors:

  Click Start

  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

  Click on "Run as Administrator"

  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  then

  
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow
  This will check for any breach of integrity

  Restart your system

  Also to perform a clean boot and see if things improve:

  The problem is not a software but a licensing of one.

  Your existing OEM license cannot be transferred to a new machine--and it is difficult to do a upgrade to a non-genuine system (by design).

  You always have your machine 'physical Windows' available? He's still in the original configuration that you want to transfer?

  Apply you the full Ultimate who license and activate it, then repeat the virtualization

  The new virtual machine will still complain of activation status initially, but you will be able to reactivate in the virtual environment.

  You then have to take back the physical machine to the Home Premium of origin by a reinstall license using recovery madia or sale at retail or restore an image from before the upggrade.

• I have a problem with the active WiFi Seagate GoFlex TV Media Player asking for a net user ID and a password.

  Original title: Net User ID & Net password

  After the upgrade from Vista to W7-64 CV, I have a problem with an active WiFi Seagate GoFlex TV Media Player asking for a "Net User ID & Net password" to log.  I used all imaginable combinations of IDs & passwords, but they all lead to logon fails. I'm almost certain that it is a W7 security problem because others with the same players who went to W7 face the same problem.  I found many supposed fixes online, but none works.

  I am aware that MS W7 works as it should and Seagate is not their problem, but if anyone can recommend a change of security to help this issue, I guarantee a pass towards the sky.

  PS: All the sharing, etc. continuously.  are installed as they should be.

  The only reference to Net User ID and password I can find is on page 46/47 of the User Guide. If this is not the user name and password of the Windows account that you want to share files with, I don't know what it is.

  I guess patches that you tried to include those that are mentioned here:

  http://forums.Seagate.com/T5/FreeAgent-theater-and-GoFlexTV/logon-fail-home-network-Windows-7/TD-p/70540

  I would have suggested the registry change.

  It might be worth checking that you have the latest firmware, just in case.

• problem with the installation of window package

  Impossible to install, i-tunes, quick time and I downloaded Security software. Error message indicates a problem with the windows package install. On Vista, this is a fairly new problem
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Jack8053,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  · The error message you get when you try to install a software, what exactly?

  · Remember to make changes on the computer before this problem?

  It seems to be that some of the files windows install is corrupt. I have a few steps that might help you to solve the problem:

  Method 1

  Make sure that the Windows Installer service is running.
  1 open run and type services.msc, and then press ENTER.

  2. in the services window, locate the Windows Installer service in the services list.
  3. check that the status is "started". If the condition column is empty,
  Right-click Windows Installer, and then select start.
  4. change the Startup Type to automatic (default is Manual), then
  Restart the computer.

  Method 2

  Run a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer that will replace missing or corrupt files.

  To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. click on the Start button.

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories.

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option.

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option.

  5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press ENTER.

  7. a message is displayed indicating that "the system scan will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time.

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue.

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.
