• For Windows XP, desktop background well, but nothing else seems no icons, nothing

  For Windows XpBackground desktop is fine, but nothing else appears, no icons, nothing, a message saying UxTheme.dll. is missing and re - install it might help, but I don't have the disk. I put it to date by a company, and they must have. I don't really know anything computers as well. Write slowly please.

  Thank you

  Sometimes to restart Explorer, you can get out of this situation.  When you arrive at the blank screen, press Ctrl - Alt - Delete if all goes well a window will appear that allows you to choose 'Task Manager '.  Click on the Task Manager and when it starts, click on the "Processes" tab and then select the file-> new task.  When that window comes to the top, enter "Explorer" in the box, and then click 'OK '.  I hope that your screen will then fill.

• Still, Microsoft will release an activation code for Windows XP installation after April 8, 2014?

  I run XP for backward compatibility for several reasons. I'm not worried for themselves are more updates of security that the computer will be off line only. However, if I need to reinstall for some reason any, like a disk crash, I always call and receive custom code that validates my installation?

  Hello SandyLabrecque,

  Check the "faq section" of this link for more details about XP is supported after April 8 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/end-of-support.aspx this applies to the XP consumer and business editions.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  I bought win 7 starter edition PC oem, I miss my lic key

  If Windows 7 is preinstalled by the PC manufacturer then that it will be already activated it.  Go to Control Panel, System - the row above the product ID should give you the activation status - what does say here?

  You should make a note of the product key - that is the key that you enter if you need to re - activate for some reason any.  The product key is on the certificate of authenticity [CoA].  The CoA label will be on the lower part of the PC or hidden in the battery compartment.  The COA will also indicate the edition of Windows 7 product key apply to the - in your case, it will say Windows 7 Starter [it could also have "OA" after the name, but that is not significant].

The tech assured me that since I don't have the activation code for my Windows 7 ultimate that it provide me on.

  In the case of a computer from a major manufacturer contact them via their web site.  Many have recovery media low cost for just the situation you encounter.  Also they can cause (however unlikely) a new product key to replace the one that has rubbed off.  If all else fails see also: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

• New activation code for Vista?

  So I went from XP to Vista with upgrade license.  Unfortunately, I had trouble getting through my existing windows installation and installed the software from the disc.

  Because it is a clean install, my Vista activation code does not work.  Very well, I went online to try to buy a new activation code.  Need me just to the home page of Windows 8.  I followed the instructions on the search for the phone line automated to reflect activation that might work.  There is no such thing; the options are to activate online or activate any.
  If my computer stops working after 30 days because I can't get a new activation code for my existing, legitimate product, I think I'll have to join the ranks of those who have learned to install an illegal copy of Windows.

  No need to buy a new license.

  Your problem is that you try to use a license upgrade with a clean install.
  No worries, there is a solution.
  1. click on [start], type "regedit" and press ENTER.
  2. navigate to the following registry key.
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE /.
  3. double-click on MediaBootInstall, change the value from 1 to 0.
  4. close regedit.
  5. open an elevated command prompt.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/command-prompt-frequently-asked-questions
  (See "How to run a command with elevated privileges?")
  6. run the following command.
  slmgr /rearm
  7 reset.
  8. try to activate your Vista again.

• Code product key? had reboot my computer and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop

  Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you very much

  The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes.  If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.

  If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help.  Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs).  A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem.  And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).

  I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.

  Good luck!

• HP 2000-2c29WM Notebook PC how do I know if I have an activation code for Microsoft Office?

  Hello djplexus

  First, you will need to understand how to set up the dual boot. This will allow you to be able to choose between XP and 7 at startup.
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/edge/video/ff710733
  With regard to the creation of an image of Windows XP Backup there is no Windows XP software that will do it for you. You will need to look to third-party vendors for support with this issue. Thank you.
