Reinstall Windows Edition Millennium, said COA key invalid
PC of a friend... Original SONY VAIO with Windows ME installed... error Kernel32.dll machine crashes and makes it unusable. Owner GB midi file loaded to the top and won't lose them. SONY restore cd erases the entire disc when it reloads. Trying to recharge using the Windows 98 Startup disk and reinstall help CAB of WInME installed on hard disk for a nondestructive WInME. When loading reinstall, invalid CD key which will load on the configuration screen. Tried CD key located on the COA MS sticker on the machine, but happens too as not valid. Machine has never been worked away and 83, former owner, bought new. Ideas? Help?
Hello
I suggest you remove the hard drive of the machine and then connect the hard drive to another computer. In doing so, we could save the files together to the other computer or on an external drive.
After you back up essential files, you can go ahead and run the Sony restore to restore the computer. The backup files can be restored to the original computer.
I hope this helps.

I had to reinstall Windows Xp Pro, the product key will not work.
I have not changed any hardware or anything like that. I downloaded the updates of msupdates and my computer went the fritz would not do anything. I reinstalled windows xp pro from the restore disc that came with my computer. The product key is not accepted by windows to activate it. I need to know what to do. It's a Dell optiplex 2.8 gig Board and proc 2 gig of ram. Anyway when I bought.
Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.
You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.
You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.
If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.
