• Cannot install factory reinstall the CD/USB on drives smaller than what came with the computer. Need to fix it as soon as POSSIBLE!

  Recently installed Samsung 840 Evo SSD in my Dell Inspiron 15r 5537. They created the restore disc factory of the previous disc thought they would just install on the new SSD. After trying to install get you a mass that told you can't reinstall on drives less than 400 some odd gigabytes. I thought I'd try an OEM of Windows 8 CD version I have. Who does not install as well you get a message that says something like: "the current installed does not match the product key." So now I'm stuck with a new computer with a SSD brand new and I can not install an operating system on it. I bought six machines from Dell in the past six months and I want a cure for this ASAP or will ever I bought a Dell product. James

  Just installed windows 7 but I can't read my product key?

  Help me please thx!

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  I have Lightroom 4.4 on my Mac laptop. It came with the purchase of a Leica camera. When I check the updates, the answer is that there is no update available. Download Version 5.7 of Adobe's Web site with no problems?

  Your license for the 4.4 release will not work with version 5.7, you can download it without doubt, but if you do not have version 5.7 download then it won't do much good.  If you do not have a license for it so you won't be able to use it beyond use of the trial.

• I reinstalled XP Professional on the disc that came with the laptop. It is said that the activation code is incorrect.

  I inherited my mums old laptop. There were problems with it starting, so I reinstalled XP Professional on the disc that came with the laptop. He said that the activation code is incorrect. I ran the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and ripped the report below. It seems that the activation code I have is correct, so can not understand why it won't work!

  Help, please!

  Your relocation was made of a set of recovery discs Dell - which uses a key to Dell and cannot be enabled on any other brand.

  It's a Dixons computer odf, then I suspec that the COA sticker on the case is for XP Home edition, while the installation is Pro.

  You need to return to this system to its licensed version of Windows by using the recovery media for that PC - or a good disc XP Home OEM System Builder.

• can't activate windows xp with the product key that came with the computer

  I got a computer of 510N HP Pavilion from a friend who was absolutely riddled with viruses and malware of all kinds.  Every thing I did to clarify apparently nowhere got done or made it worse.  At the end of the day, the computer would only begin to restart, stop after the start of the HP logo screen, then start to boot, etc and more.  All I could do was to install the hard drive in another computer and format, from scratch.  Now, I'm trying to install the system to XP op for the disc that came with the computer.
  the problem: the code the product key on the case went wrong with the disc.  After searching for solutions, I found a code on the disk by searching the files it contains, tried and it worked!  Problem is when I try to turn it on, it says it's an "unauthorized product key."  I tried to enter that code on the box and who says he is "invalid".  The Cd look authentic; are for distribution with new pc HP and Compaq.  After a further inspection drives are XP Professional SP2, while if it is XP Home Edition.  What gives?  Activation does not anyway. It is any use that will not make me buy a new set of disks?

  Please let me know if more info or detail is necessary.

  PS - only a single piece of hardware has been changed - the cdrom initially provided with the computer was bad, so I went out to perform the installation.

  When you perform a restore to the factory on some HPs condition you have two choices: 1) a restoration which keeps your data and programs (in a repair installation); (2) a full destructive restore which brings back the machine to the State, it's when you first opened the box. In your case, you have already wiped the drive, so the question is moot. I would call the HP technical support. Normally when you use an OEM recovery media (HP, Dell, etc.) a product key is never required during the restore. If you have used the media to restore HP shipped with your system and are always asked for a key and one on the sticker machine is not accepted, then something is certainly.

  Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

  If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

  For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

  Hope this helps.
