Reinstalling Windows XP. When I get to the license agreement I can't scroll to the bottom of the page, or the F8 key works. Escape key works.

I'm trying to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition due to a virus.

I boot from the CD, everything seems to go well until the license agreement. I can't scroll the page and F8 does nothing. I can ESC but that's all. What I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Some only computers require the use of the Fn key so that the keys F to be recognized. What is the brand and model of your PC?

Why not try the Fn + F8 combination?

  • Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

    Install Vista on two machines
    OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

    Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

    It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

    So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

    ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

    Hello

    1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

    And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

    2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

    The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

    While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

    Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

    See you soon.

  • Need to format the drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. I could use the same product key

    Original title: Windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1 that have previously been installed then bought my laptop. Product key number is fixed under the laptop.

    I need to format my drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. can I use the same product key and where can I get the installer of Windows 7 because I don't have it.

    Thank you

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • Set up Firefox sync, reinstalled windows and now cannot get my synchronized data

    I bought an SSD and a new HARD drive and I wanted to get a clean install of windows on the SSD. Before that, I synced Firefox, but now I can't get back my info. I was under the impression that Firefox sync could be used for this, but now it looks like I'm pretty damn good insofar as find all my favorites and passwords and things. I tried to go in Firefox sync and selecting that I lost my camera. It gives me a very long string of letters and of things and when I get to the area of the recovery key, he told me that every time, even when he puts stuff in there himself, it is wrong.

    Firefox Sync is not a backup tool, it is only intended to synchronize the various facilities in Firefox with the same data.
