  EDIT: Additional information

  Things to watch for.

  Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN keys packed with the media looking legitimate. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy

  If you bought a key, with or without DVD or packaging of EBAY, or any other person or seller and this could be a MSDN key because your key has been blocked you can check a few things yourself, if you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product, however some counterfeit software are thus convince you may not be able to identify it as such.

  To check your PID press the key to victory and the pause at the same time, or system opened via the Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and properties related to computing PID will look something like this 12345-067-1234567-54321, the part that you are interested in is the section to three digits, if it corresponds or is included in one or two digits for the examples below You probably have a MSDN key.

  065, 066, 067 for Ultimate, box 220 for Pro and the 230, 231 area of award, there are probably others, but they should be close to those that are displayed

  If you have a similar PID, or your key is blocked and you want the confirmation message, a new thread with a report from the MGADIAG tool, download and run the tool, click on copy and paste it in a new post here and Darin Smith of MS can check your key for you. NEVER send your keys, the report will be sufficient.

• My product key has been blocked... why?

  Yesterday, I installed Windows 7 (32 bit) in a Machine virtual VirtualBox; but the machine has got corrupted. so I reinstall Windows 7 again, today. I couldn't enter my product key, so I did the "slmgr.vbs-ipk PRODUCT KEY' then"slmgr /ato"(without the quotes) and moments later a message came up saying that"the activation server determined that the specified product key has been blocked."

  This is a legal copy of Windows 7 purchased at Christmas 2009. (which pisses me because I don't not pirate it.)

  That's why I love Apple; NO product key of worry. (But I need Windows 7 for Win programs only.)

  I see a lawsuit resulting from this problem by conducting a LEGAL copy of same.

  Try again by phone:

  Activate Windows 7 manually:
  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

• Activation server determined that the specified product key has been blocked.

  I bought a version of Windows 7 on 2 or 3 years of Staples.  The seal on the media case was in place.  The version was installed and working fine since installation.  I have the case with the seal, media and product key.

  Last week, a message popped up the version was invalid.  When I try to turn on again, I get the message the product key has been blocked.

  As I said, it was new branch of Staples.  I don't understand how this can be an invalid version.

• "The product key you entered has been blocked the use of Microsoft. I have a NEW Windows 7 Ultimate package of software with 32 and 64 bit and cannot activate it.

  I have a computer built house with an AMD Phenom II X 3 Black Edition CPU and an ASUS M4A78T-E motherboard.  I originally had Vista 32 bit Ultimate Win7 installed and running and has purchased and researched and installed the 64 bit version and received a message that the key has been blocked by Microsoft.  I contacted the person I bought the package from and he has verified that the key is good with Microsoft.

  Because of the problems I had with Win7 has decided to install Win XP Pro and take care of some pressing issues I use this computer for work and staff as well.  After taking care of business, I decided to give him another chance, but did not delete my XP Pro problems with Win7.  I used GPart to create another partition on my hard drive and installed Win 7 64 bit on it so that it forms and allocate unallocated space.  I have re-installed Win 7 again with the same error code during activation.

  One thing I read on this forum, is that if you use Vista format the HDD it hold the 'TOUCH' or some software folder in the BIOS and then put back on the hard disk after that he was done and I was wondering if there is a way to get this key removed to use it?

  I tried all the resources that I have and no one has been able to say something but return the software or contact Microsoft.  Help, please! :)  I appreciate your time and your information and await your response.

• The product key you entered has been blocked for use by Microsoft

  Last fall, I bought Windows 7 for my new computer. I bought it from Microsoft, so I knew it would be authentic. Last week my computer crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7 from the CD. When I type in my product key, he said, "the product key you entered has been blocked for using Microsoft." WHY?
  I don't know what other information you might need. But here's what I can tell you. I have the 32-bit software. I don't know what else you need. It's frustrating to seriously. I don't want spend more money to buy another product key. This would make me happy.

• Windows activation error: the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer.

  Activate Windows 7

  I would like to ask questions about how can activate my correct windows, I tried to activate it but he said to me (the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer) I don't know what I have to do?

  Windows product ID: 00426-068-2964761-86079

  Recently, there have been a rash of product keys for Windows 7 purchased from auction sites appear here as not authentic.  They appear to be related to this HROnline HrOnline code: 0xC004C4A2. If you have purchased a key of a web site selling auctions (like eBay), please understand that the seller would have sold this product to several people key, causing the key more on the blacklist. These keys were never intended for resale; they were intended for the software development or assessment depending on the program that they were obtained through. If you have purchased one of these keys and it became not genuine with the above code, you must purchase a new license for windows 7. Try to validate by going to www.microsoft.com/geniune and follow the links provided to repair windows.

  Added note. You have only a limited amount of time (45 days I think) filing a claim with the auction sites. Stay away from these keys, if you purchased a key that has turned non-genuine and are within 45 days of purchase file a claim. There are publishers of legitimate software on auction sites, but if it sounds too good to be true then don't buy it.

  Things to watch for.

  Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN subscription product keys packed with legitimate research media. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy.

  If you purchased a product key, with or without DVD or packaging of a sale auction web site (e.g. eBay) or any other person or seller and this could be a product key MSDN Subscritpion because your key has been blocked, you can check a few things.  If you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product.  However, some counterfeit software is if convince you may not be able to identify it as such.

  To check your PID the Win Key Press and have a break at the same time or open system properties in Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and look at the PID.  It will look something like this: 1234567-12345-067-54321.  The part that you are interested in is the section to three figures.  If it matches or is in one or two digits from the examples below, you probably have a "non-destinee for resale" MSDN subscription product key

  Suspect: 065, 066, 067 068 for Windows 7 Ultimate edition, 220 area for the professional and the 230, 231 area for Home Premium.  There are probably others, but they should be close to those posted.

• When I turn on my computer, I get a bubble in the lower right of the desktop that says: "a program has been blocked from editing your search default setting". Then "click to change your notification settings."

  Whenever I turn on my computer I have a bubble in the lower right corner of the desktop that says: 'Search Settings Notification' then 'program has been blocked from modifying your search default setting". Then "click to change your notification settings."
  When I click I get a box called Toolbar Options. Tab shows the search parameters. Statement: "search settings protects your search settings of the browser to keep the programs change without your knowledge." I am then presented with 2 boxes checked with the following instructions: 1. protect my browser default search and let know me of any attempt to change it.  2. enable the browser error Network Wizard page.  Downstairs, the options are either save or cancel.
  My question is what does all this mean? Should I uncheck boxes or both? How can I avoid this message occurs ever time I turn on PC?
  I must tell you that my browser is Mozilla Firefox.
  Thank you.

  original title: Notification settings search

  Hello

  I would check the first box for sure, the second is not as important but probably a good idea to choose from as well. Once you save it, it should not appear again.
