Received a message on my copy of Windows XP is not genuine not. Tried to turn it back on but it does not work.

Discovered my Tech guy that my original copy of Windows XP Professional with SP2 had corrupted files on the CD, so he used a different copy.

I tried to activate and update; the update was very good, but I got the message on a copy of Windowsdid topic does not pass Genuine Windows Validation.

I tried to follow the instructions... while I can reactivate with my product key, but after the procedure:

Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools... There is no command "Activate Windows" to do.

original title: Product Activation

Sounds like a bad copy of windows... I would ask your tech guy how to activate it.  Even if the computer is turned on, she would still have the windows command activate.  It almost seems that it put on an illegal copy.

  • I received a disk upgrade for windows 7 for my pc to microsoft, but now I get the message that says that my copy of windows 7 may not be true. What should I do?

    When I bought my laptop, it came with windows xp. I found that there was a lot of programs that were not compatible with xp, so I asked microsoft one say upgrade to windows 7 to upgrade my system. Everything worked fine until about 3 months ago when I kept getting a message on my screen that says that my copy of windows 7 is not genuine.  I tried all the tools on the microsoft Web site to solve this problem, but nothing has worked. Finally, I used the diagnostic tool to verify I checked that I put in the activation code is right, what is causing me to pass this message and what I can do to correct that only cost me an arm and a leg?

  • After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Original title: Vista Activation issue

    After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

    and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

    such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

    I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

    It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

    I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

    I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

    It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

    * Original title: Windows 10-7

    I ran Windows 7 for 2 years without any problem. I have upgraded to Windows 10 but he could not recognize my CD/DVD burner, so I started Windows 7. Now, after about 6 weeks, I am told that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful advice. I finally solved myself by going back to the shop that originally installed Win7 on my computer. They have removed the "non-genuine" copy that I had run without problem for 2 years and installed a copy of 'authentic '.

    Thanks again.

  • Desktop SMS and Windows Mail are not working together

    Hello

    thought I'd post here here as having a few issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer suffers the same problems and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a few very useful told me who to try to solve the problems.

    One of them suddenly realized I had said my laptop is a Toshiba, and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail are not working together so that the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs do not like each other and explain why my office is not the problem but the laptop don't.

    After you have reset the Touch of Windows Mail (tutorial on a site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/ vista) wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site 32 and 64 and followed great reset Windows Mail from Brink (do not restore all mail) then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch of the drink no more mail questions that gave me problems almost every day with marking than reading/sending project messages.

    So had to click forward then remove those bits and complete the email to send and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to the box shipment or project to obtain the number of emails in parentheses, whereas before it wouldn't happen unless I closed the program and then reopened.

    Hoping that these solutions have solved my problem and wanted to share it with someone else who wants to read this thread and you recommend Vista 64 because they are all very useful there and speak in non-technical terms for those of us not technically trained.

    Thanks for this piece of information. Should be useful for some of us.
