Receive information that all of a sudden my product key valid once for Windows XP Professional is no longer valid.

I bought a computer ZT Club of Sam in 2009 for our church with operating system Windows XP Professional and upgrade disc optional in Windows Vista. Now, I get an error message that my Windows XP Professional software is not valid.  I entered the key to product on the side of the tower to validate online, tried to validate by phone and am unable to do so.  I need help and fast because we were preparing to assign to this computer to our Secretary financial to use next week after having bought a new computer, ZT, who will arrive Friday of next week.  I also bought the 3 years extended warranty with this computer at the time of purchase and it is supposed to be still under warranty.  We are not able to use any software installed and have misplaced the XP disk even though we have the Vista upgrade disc, but our software is not compatible, that is why we never did the upgrade.  We are a small church and cannot afford to buy Windows XP again.

  • Windows XP Professional suddenly asking product key, but do not accept one printed on the laptop. What is going on?

    I've had this laptop for 3 or 4 years, XP Professional. A few weeks, he told me that windows xp must be activated, so I entered the product key located on the sticker on the underside of the computer, but he told me that the key was invalid. I tried to call microsoft technical support, but the best advice they could give me was to remove all and reinstall windows. I would like to know if there is any way around it before I remove everything on my laptop to try something that might not even work.

    TIA

    Hi Tia,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         What service pack is installed on your computer?

    You can see the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article and check if the problem still persists.

    You receive an error message after you enter the product key when you try to install Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310637

    If the laptop is preinstalled with Windows XP and no article has not helped, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

    I hope this helps.

    I did no change that I know, I didn't run Windows updates, but all of a sudden, I get the black background on the desktop.  I tried a system restore, but he said "he has failed."  I keep getting guests to activate my copy of Windows.   My PC is 6 years old, so I have no idea how to activate it.  What can I do?  I have Norton Antivirus, made available by the service provider Comcast.

    Your installation is a forgery - the installed key is a Hewlett-Packard computer, while yours is a motherboard ASUS retail.

    The motherboard does not the SLIC table in BIOS to activate a key of ASUS.

    Where she acquired this machine?

    Is there a COA sticker on the case? -If Yes, for which version and edition of Windows is valid? If this isn't the case, you have the package licnese Windows of retail, including disks and the case and the key?

    It is unusual for one such facility last this long without discovery - you have recently made the machine for service or had a friend to do some work on it?

  • All of a sudden I can't copy files in Windows Explorer in any method

    Suddenly I can't copy files in Windows Explorer in any method - I get a message from Clipboard "item not added: Format not supported by the Office Clipboard." Never had a problem before, same thing for any type of file, Word or jpg. Am on Windows 7 and Office 7. Have rebooted and done a virus scan, but cannot get this to work.  I can always copy the text from various sources, the problem is only with files.

    Close office word... If you have opened it.

    I personally do not know why you would want to copy instead of cut.

    Unless you like the duplicate files.

    Somewhere the Office clip board interferes with windows clip board,

    Most love because you have Office Open in another window and the clip Panel Office setting is set to always open or at least to check and change these settings.

  • Is it possible that I can use at the back of my machine product keys to activate a Windows XP SP3 as a copy authentic?

    real operating system

    I bought 8 computers to set up an Internet Café which is windows xp professional authentic, one day, I was attacked by a power serge that crashed all my hard drives in the computers and had nothing to recovery... I replaced all the hard drives and surprisingly enough my original CD with the real BONES has a lot of scratches and can install the operating system. The version I have is only SP3 and is not authentic. I always authentic labels with product keys of the defective operating system stuck in each of the computers. Is it possible that I can use the product keys for SP3 as a copy is authentic?

    You need get the good one, the CORRESPONDENT XP installation CD.

    So, if all COA stickers indicate an OEM version of Windows XP Pro (MS level does not count), so if you can get a real GENERIC OEM Windows XP Pro installation CD (MS level does not count), simply use the product key on the COA sticker.
    You say that the version available is "not true." Because I don't know what you have, with the exception because it is not a true generic OEM XP Pro installation CD, I recommend that you do NOT use. Although hard to find, there are reputable dealers who sell this authentic CD. You can also borrow one from someone you know. Alternatively download the file .iso for him, but ONLY if YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO! Fortunately there are values of hash MD5 and SHA1, published online to verify that you have the right pair. But if you don't know what you're doing, you could very well end with something that's plagued malware!
