Installation of Service Pack 3 cannot update an active (debug) system with a free

I tried the regedit fix. Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion current either free, or verified
This has not worked for me. I don't seem to be able to find another fix.
I also have a pop - up every 5 minutes on my computer after you perform a repair with the xp disc. It reads as follows (Microsoft Feeds Synchronization has encountered a problem and needs to close.

  • When will the new raw update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with support Nikon D750 version come?

    Hello Adobe,

    When will the new raw update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with support Nikon D750 version come?

    Best regards

    Frank

    There will be an update to Lightroom 4. The only way that you can work with your raw D750 files is to use the autonomous and free DNG Converter to create DNG copies. If you want to be able to work on the NEF files, then you must upgrade to Lightroom 5. Lightroom does not use plug in Camera Raw. everything is part of the Lightroom program. If you want to stay up-to-date with Lightroom, you must follow the path of update/upgrade. This means than buying each new major version of Lightroom or you subscribe to plan creative cloud.

  • Help check out MGADiag, bought the new retail version of Windows 7 Pro, but he does not accept the activation key.

    Hello

    I just build a new complete PC and decides to get Windows 7 Pro for it. It cost me £179 on amazon from a seller who has good reviews.

    All looks well and many of such security features mentioned on this site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/software.aspx#packaging

    Are in place (change holograms that you change the view, etc.). However when I enter the product key, I get this message:

    "Code:

    0xC004C008

    Description:

    The activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used. »

    I tried to go there several times, checking the caps lock etc.. The version says ' origin: Ireland ' on the insignia case of authenticity and the seller told me that before I bought it and it would work as a version of the United Kingdom's retail. The additional complication is I am currently based in France (where I tried to activate it since), but as an English speaker needed an English language version of Windows.

    I have run the MGADiag.exe and this is the output:

    I so I spent £179 on a version false? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Zak

    A little update just for your information. 2 days and 5 calls later (I needed to technical management, through the population of Activation - no direct number so sometimes the transferred call didn't work!) I now have a version of Windows active :) work

    However the question turns out to be that my legitimate version (package and all disks of good mine) and it's legitimate keys used did not match exactly.

    The unused key was for a version of Windows 7 Edition product update Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro, so that's why it did not work on the new facility I was trying.

    I contacted the seller amazon to let them know about this problem as it is possible that there is a lot that is perhaps not entirely legitimate.

    Once again thanks to the MVP here and people I talked on the phone before this is resolved, I suspect that this could become a problem growing with Windows 7, as people are not super keen on 8 and 7 is a solid BONE with a little support left? So even if you pay a rate of 'good' for your Windows 7 disks, be aware that you can not get exactly what you expected, and maybe it would be nice if MS has always sold direct to counter this kind of question?

    Thanks again to both for your advice, MVP

    Yours sincerely,

    Zak.

    Hello

    Check your level of service current pack...

    • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
    • Examine what is listed in the system: section

    If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

    .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.
