  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.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• I reciently reinstalled windows and now the fence, restore down and minimize buttons are not mixed together.

  I reciently reinstalled windows and now the fence, restore down and minimize buttons are not mixed together. they are indervidual buttons. Have all the updates and service pack installed.

  I saw the screen shot, I think that Aero is disabled, or the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service is disabled or stopped. Try to run the troubleshooter 'display the Aero effects. " And when firstly, you had the drivers that do NOT support Aero and then updates, Windows does NOT automatically update the settings. You must recaulculate the computer for Aero Performance Index is enabled.

  Or you can see more help on this page, which contains explanations of the Aero and a link to a Web page for downlading an application which solves the problems.

  Hope that helps!

  There are essentially two different methods to "install Windows":

  1. a clean install (which is basically all wipes) imply the shape of the disk (or partition).

  2. a repair install (which is supposed to leave all your programs and data intact) does not imply the formatting.

• Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it?

  Is it legal to download windows and use my product key to install it. I found a Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 and downloaded so I can install it. on my computer, I have the key, but no CD.

  Vista is now at the SP2 level.

  No public download free "legal" of any MS OS does exist, with the exception of trial versions.

  Anything you download from a public site carries the risk of associated malware that can be hidden in the facility and is to be avoided like the plague, it may turn out be a carrier.
