Reactivate XP after reinstalling XP Gold

Hey everyone, a newbie to this site

I had a problem with my XP Pro 2002 edition with all the updates and tweaks... installed = XP Pro 2002, Service pack 3

Correction of the problem, (viruses, adware, readjusted settings etc. of FB), cuaseing the system to break down slowly.

As I said the correction of a problem, because new OS install, now system didn, t want to update on the MS upgrade site

At fresh boot could not connect to the internet, so record does not

After 3 long hours, day search, settings, tweaking and downloaded the right components, tent of LAN configuration, and many trials and errors.

Managed to get XP Pro Service Pack 2, IE 8... but still no access to the update site

With all that said and done... The question should I take a chance and do a repair install with the disk to access the part of the recording of a stall to activate... Me as the owner of the copy of XP that is already mine? ... or is there a list of URLS for a beeline right to location of activation of Microsoft Corp. USA.

Moreover, the link inside the tools of IE tab, had no the ability to activate, or... start > Accessories > system tools

Any help will be a useful value

Thank you, robq

Uninstall IE8.  Back to all the way back to IE6.

Repair Windows XP (repair install).

Make sure you use the correct product key.  If so - you should be able to activate.

Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

Install it.

Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

Install it.

Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

Install it.

Reset.

Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

    After reinstalling firefox I can't use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account with the same email as my old account.

    After some research, I found this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ which I can connect with my old account.

    Now, my problem is that I want to retrieve the information I had in my old sync and I can't find a way to do it.

    In addition, because I lived the problems of severe performance using firefox, I deleted some files in my machine with Firefox (after uninstalling) including what appeared to be the location of the profile for firefox.

    What is really important to me is: how to recover my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?

    Thank you
    V

    Hello, firefox 29 and up is using a different synchronization system which is not compatible with the establishment of accounts in the old versions.

    in this case, you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the version of firefox before 28, turn off the automatic update for the moment (in options > advanced > update), bind it to the old sync account (with user name, password & recovery key) and upgraded after you successfully restore your data in this way...

    Install an older version of Firefox
    Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

  • Crasches Firefox and Thunderbird after reinstall

    Today first Thunderbird crasched and after that, it was impossible to start Firefox or Thunderbird.
    I removed all the programs from the PC (W7 64 bit) Mozilla and reinstalled a fresh installation. Both programs still crasches at startup.

    Think the problem is resolved, restored to a restorepoint earlier and everything seems fine!
    The only problem I found was that Thunderbird could not load XPCOM (?).
    After reinstall TB that the problem has been resolved.

    Thank you for your support.

  • cant conect to internet after reinstalling windows xp

    system crashed and had to reinstall service pack 3 system operations. all files lost and now I can not even conect to the enternet. tried everything. need help making a wireless connection... Theres not even a frame local-lan or wireless on my computer

    After reinstalling you installed all the drivers for your system? For example for the motherboard (chipset), audio, video, LAN (network adapter) and so on?

    If this isn't the case, you will need to do. Support web site of the manufacturer of the computer to check for the drivers for Windows XP for your model specific computer/specifications. You may need to get some drivers directly on the site of manufacturer support / Unit equipment for material or devices you have installed.

  • Restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP, I get the message: 'access denied '.

    Original title: restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP

    Recently, I acquired a virus with which Microsoft Security Essentials could not cope.  Then one day the computer refused to start.  I wrongly assumed that my hard drive was dead, so I installed a new HD and reinstalled Windows XP.  [Actually, I first tried the upgrade to Windows 7, because program upgrade windows 7 Microsoft has already said that my computer was compatible... but Windows 7 disk says otherwise!]  Then I tried to install the HD original in an another drive Bay and discovered it still worked, but I could not boot from it.  Apparently, the virus has killed the OS (Windows XP) but my files, programs and documents are still there.  The problem is that when I try to access my old "My Documents" folder, I get the message: 'access denied '.  I believe that this is because the files are stored in a password protected user account.  I know the password, but I do not know how to access the files.

    I tried to create a user account on my new HD (with the operating system Windows XP reinstalled) with the same name and the password that I used on my original (with the Windows operating system XP corrupted) HD to create all the document files.  However, opening a session with this account name and password did NOT restore my access to the My Documents folder on my original hard drive.

    I'm out of ideas.  Help, please!

  • Logical drive missing after reinstalling XP.

    Original title: I lost my logical drive after reinstaling XP,.

    I have a 500 GB drive tha was divided into E: @ 128GB and F: for the rest.  E: held the OS (Win XP) and F: above all my music and photos.  After a fight with a virus of CPU, I decided to start with the OS and stupidly backup is not the F: drive.

    Try to fix the instalation of XP did not shake the virus, so I decided to reformat the drive E: and reinstal.  I have now a functioning operating system and a 500 GB drive is recognized by the BIOS, but once windows starts and I have a 128 GB C: drive and no logical drive to be found anywhere (Windows Explorer, the Manager of hardware or disk management), I even tried free software versions dérirez / data disc, but they will not look beyond the 128 GB.

    Is there a way to revive the old partitioning tables for access to the rest of the car, or at least recover my photos?

    Hi captain_karma,

    Since you've already done a format reinstall, you should probably look into the software of data recovery of non-epreuve from the internet that can see beyond 128 GB or take the machine to a data recovery center.
