  • How can I reactivate Windows XP?

    Got my PC from file system damaged, but now windows don't be loading not unless I have Windows XP automatic internett connecting to microsoft does nothing. How can I reactivate Windows XP Pro?

    Hello Raphael,.

    Christmas sent me to see if I had something that might help :-)

    My understanding of your situation, it's that your computer has a file system corrupted, if you used the manufacturer's recovery process to recover your computer if you "out-of-the-box".  I also noticed that you mentioned that recovery has given you the option has not your personal files in a place called "my old file Structures." Unfortunately, the recovery isn't going smoothly 100% and you encounter a problem of activation.

    The best tour I have up my sleeve is trying to "rearm" Windows Product Activation XP, which if it works will provide you with a grace period of 30 days, during which you can try to recover and backup your files from the old file Structure My, their credit on another storage (like external HDD or flash drives). Once your data is safe, then you can try to get another and hope this goes more smoothly this time. If this is not the case, your next step would be to contact the manufacturer to acquire the system disks required to run CD/DVD recovery rather than the recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer.

    If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, run this option to rearm activation XP:

    Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

    The command must be typed exacly as above with space, caps, and comma.  Restart, and if it works, you will be able to log in normal mode (as opposed to safe mode) and will be in the 30-day activation grace period.

    Assuming that works, save your data, and then try the recovery again.  You will want to visit the support pages and community forum hosted by the manufacturer of your computer to search and see if the seeds of recovery are common for your make and model of computer - if yes, it is likely to be a fix for what you can implement.

    If this does not work, then your next task is to use an operating system off-line such as BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, etc., to save your data from the saved location.  Once the data is turned off the computer and the safe, you can use the manufacturer's recovery disks (or disc OEM/systembuilder Microsoft at the generic address) to make a good clean install of Windows.

    Good luck! :-)

    the problem is every time that you run, you get a different number

    Why no one in the product activations can give me the password?

    Support partner say Discontinued product can't help.

    It's microsoft copy protection.  The client has a legal copy and must be able to run it.

    Just becuse MS dropped support shouldn't mean you can't get the active CLIENT access licenses.

    Will this mean when Ms. abandon support for XP that you will not be able to reactivate more?

    You can download a password generator if not supported then.

  • How to reactivate Windows XP after you install a new motherboard?

    original title: REACTIVATE MY XP PRO AFTER INSTALLING NEW motherboard

    I had to have a new card mother installed a few days ago and after I got my CPU home and hook

    Use Magical Jellybean Keyfinder to get your product key and then activate in the usual way.

    I assume that, by "upgrading of the o/s", you mean that you have downloaded and installed service packs or updates to security and not if you change from one version of Windows to another.

  • Reactivate Windows Defender

    When I try to use Windows Defender on my laptop, I get a message telling me that it cannot be activated due to restrictions in place and I have to contact the system administrator. This is something new and there is no 'system administrator' on my own PC. How can I reactivate Defender without having to consider somewhere and him have redone professionally. I think that a malicious program may have been installed.

    See if this applies to you...
    If you have the following AV, antivirus, programs installed, close your Windows Defender. Purpose of these AVs have their own advocates. 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
    Bottom line: it's ok. It's normal.
    List of AVs which will stop Windows Defender:

    Norton
    McAfee
    AVG
    Microsoft Security Essentials

    If the foregoing is not applicable, here's a way to re - start your Windows Defender:

    Start button > in the search box, type Services > press the Enter key > scroll to find Windows Defender, click on it >...
    topic status , it must be said... Has begun
    under Startup Type, it must be said... Automatic
    If it does not say that, right click on Windows Defender > click Properties > in the new window, make the necessary changes, as above > click OK when finished.

  • Will I have to reactivate windows 7 after this update of the problems?

    I've been using Microsoft Flight Simulator X Demo for a few weeks, but my material is not good enough to get a reasonable rate.
    I love the program, so I bought a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator Gold edition.
    Before installing my copy of FSX Gold, I would like to update some of my hardware.

    My current set up is:

    Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 64-bit bought Jan 2012
    ASRock M3A770DE 770 Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX motherboard.
    AMD Athlon II X 3 455 3.3 GHz Socket AM3.
    Memory: Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 PC3-12800.
    ATA (boot) hard drive ST3200822A (200G) purchased 2006 Jan.
    Silicon image Sil 3114 SATA Raid controller.
    Card PCI-E SAPPHIRE HD 6450 1 GB DDR3 DVI - VGA - HDMI
    DVD - ROM drive.

    I intend to do the following:
    Keep the original motherboard Asrock M3A770DE, Crucial memory, raid controller and DVD - ROM.
    Upgrade the processor AMD Athlon II X 3 455 with an AMD Phenom II x 6 1100t.
    Update the graphics card Sapphire HD 6450 with an Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti.
    Replace the hard drive ST3200822A with a 250 GB WD Velociraptor, the ST3200822A is eight years and well beyond its life expectancy.

    The old processor and graphics card is going to be scrapped because they are very little value.
    The old ST3200822A will be partitioned and formatted.

    This will give me problems with the reactivation of windows 7?
    I can't afford to buy another copy of Windows 7.

    Thank you very much
    Steven.

  • Reactivate Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard

    I had to replace the motherboard. I have a 3-license Windows 7, installed copy on 3 machines (including this one). Windows tells me I have to reactivate, but the system of automatic phone won't let me because he thinks he's already on 3 machines. I can't find a way to learn how to talk to a person to explain. There was a previous answer saying to call the activation number but not to choose all the guests, but who never goes to a live person; the fair guests get an angry sounding, and finally he told to go away and come back when you're ready to do it properly.

    How can I get a real person to explain this?
