Reinstallation of Windows XP Edition family
Hello
Rebuilt computer, new motherboard, memory, CPU etc. Disc booted XP has been changed but wasn't happy so saved 'My documents' and decided to do a reinstall. All is well until the key entering the stadium. I have the key disc number and honest, but get the error "invalid key". Computer has been pre-installed with windows XP by a business of selling PC in 2005. Society is no long in business. Installation disc was purchased with the new pc. This is the first time it has been reinstalled/rebuilt. The pc before reconstruction work properly and had the real status of software with Service Pack 3 installed.
So I'm puzzled that I can't enter the keynumber I.
Someone at - it answers please?
Thank you
Hello
If Windows is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased a disc OEM/license, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.
The Windows OEM license is tied to the origin/hardware computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop computer or motherboard
By original/hardware that means original Motherboard, that Microsoft calls the heart of a computer
You change to have a new computer in the eyes of Microsoft

I had to do a fresh install of Windows XP Edition family with a different drive than what was originally on the PC. I installed the network driver, but I don't know what else I need, also far than go to drivers, because there is so much to choose from. Also, I can't start Windows without the installation disk in the drive. If it is not in the drive, he'll get me through the entire process of installation and configuration. Thus,.
1. What are the other drivers and updates do I need?
2. what should I do to be able to start Windows without the installation disc?
Thank you in advance!

Clean install of Windows Vista Edition family
Due to a Virus, I had to perform a cold install of Windows Vista Edition family. After completion and activation of the software, I received a message that my product is already in use. It was a clean install on the same computer that has more than 3 years.
Hello Steveowe,
It's normal. To activate it, you use telephone activation. It's free in most countries. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

After loading Windows XP edition family, my Satellite A100-011 is hot enough
I noticed that my Satellite A100-011 is really hot, but I think, not to cause of material. It starts with the software. When I insert the restore CD, it will be cold as it should, but when the loading of Windows XP Home edition and then download the drivers from the Toshiba support site, my problems again.
What do you think of this?
Post edited by: Admin
One question; have you noticed any problems with your operating system?
I mean; is the computer laptop freezes or have you noticed some suddenly stops?
These problems can be caused by a temperature inside the laptop and the laptop overheats.If the problems mentioned above don't appear, then the laptop doesn't overheat and I suppose that the temperature is not too high!
I put t know if you have experience with laptop big or not, but there s nothing unusual that some areas of the laptop are much hotter than the others.
Is what area of the laptop hot? Is there placed cooling modules? -
