  • Can I reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium with a key?

    Hello world. I want to reinstall my edition of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop of HP 2000 due to some nasty malware or false-positive accidentally that messed up my Windows 7. Here's my problem. I can't tell if my software is OEM. I tried to go to my computer properties, but because of the incident, I can't get there because of the Explorer Windows unresponsive and reboot. The sticker is a little messed up, and I can't read the last part of the product key, so I need this information to find. But if it is an OEM, can I actually reinstall Windows securely, without the key is invalid or anything? I already have a genuine version of Home Premium installed on it.

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    No, the key will be invalid and the recovery partition does not use the key on the COA sticker in any case. In your case, it IS an emergency key code in which case you could use an OEM disc Windows 7 credits for purposes of recovery...

  • Problems of thw whole adter computer tries to right the wrongs of a virus by reinstalling Windows XP. Especially with the sound card and microsoft components.

    I had some virus that wiped out my computer and began to delete files .exe for evrything and started to interfere with my network connections that made me unable to get on the internet. I've got rid of the virus, but still not able to get on the internet, so I decided to reinstall Windows XP from the service pack CD that I got with the computer. Now that I did it, it seems that all the components of windows have disappeared from my list of programs in the control panel. I still have everything that was on the hard drive on it, but I can't seem to get things to transfer to the new XP operating. My biggest thing I found is that my soundcard has seemed to disappear and my volume control will not work because it says I have no mixers or equipment installed. Help, please.

    You don't have a clean install of Windows. Backup your data and do a clean install according to the instructions below. Once installation is complete, you will then need to install the drivers for all your hardware.

  • Portege R700 - Malware with software pre-installed?

    I recently bought a Portege R700 - very well designed and built with an excellent specification. All is let down by the obnoxious behavior of collusion with Microsoft to send malicious software in the software loaded from Toshiba. It is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable to load software that removes several times my IE8 homepage settings to replace it with MSN and the bling search engine. I hope I've stalked finally how to remove this MALWARE by editing the registry and delete the entries of thugs.

    (Especially from Toshiba) anyone know how I can ensure it is permanently deleted?

    Can someone give me a good reason why I should not report this behavior for the Commissioners of the European Union for violation of the antitrust settlement with Microsoft?

    I am completely disgusted.

    Hello

    To be honest, I never heard malware with software/OS preinstalled Toshiba or Microsoft.
    I m sure all software that will run are tested for the virus, malware, etc. so I put t think you have malicious software installed on your computer.

    I also use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba on my two laptops and all the settings, I've defined in IE8 or other programs have never changed.

    I recommend to install an antivirus program before going online.

  • Portege R100 - I can reinstall Windows XP Home edition with USB floppy & USB key?

    I recently damaged my R100 thanks to a virus attack. Despite late cleaning things up with Norton, it will now very slowly and I think that the only way forward is through a total reinstall XP.

    I have the original recovery CD and a USB floppy drive but not a PCMIA CD-ROM. As luck would have my USB CDRom is broken. How can I get out of this situation? I'm about to throw an old desk and would be happy to use the XP retail on the R100, if necessary. It is also possible to start the format & install process from a startup disk, and then most of the OS from a USB - having previously filled with copies of the contents of the CD? Desperate people make desperate methods!

    I've read a few other discussions on recovery XP issues but they are not entirely coincident with my situation. Any help on this front would be very welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you can get the installation on the R100 HARD disk files using a FAT32 partition, you can install Windows from the HARD drive after booting from a bootable MS-DOS floppy. (MSDOS can not see NTFS drives).

    You can use a 1.8 "adapter HARD USB drive to copy the installation files on the disk HARD R100 from another PC. The adapter would be cheap.

  • Can I reinstall Windows vista 64 bit with a product key.

    Original title: Switch system

    I have a 64-bit Windows license and the product code on my computer. Caused by a virus I took it to a repair store. Back in the Properties section it now shows as a 32-bit system and is included in the new product code the letters OEM. Can I reinstall the original 64 bit system using the product code? If I do I risk reinfecting my system with the virus? It is common for repair shops to install another operating system?
