Tried to repair XP, cannot find the certificate of authenticity but have product IDS

I tried to repair my Windows XP.  Have the drive and the product ID (T8GTV-8VDJK-KMF92-63F4K-P3JJH) that came on the file supplied with the disc.  ID does not work.  Says I need a certificate of Authenticity number.  I have a blank card that says that the COA has been removed by the PC manufacturer and should be attached to the PC.  Can't find it.  Now I'm stuck in the installation program, and the PC is useless.  Not good Microsoft! Need activation ID!

I did the repair option.  He asks the ID of product key does not work.  Now, he does nothing but try to go in the installation program.  I can try to switch to Windows 7, but who knows if it will work with the PC stuck in installing XP now.

Installation of Windows 7 should not be a problem even if you have not completed the installation of Xp. However, you can run KillDisk or another disk utility wipe first. Download the version of the iso bootable.

  • Cannot find the "My Computer" icon; I have icon "Computer" but it is NOT THE SAME as "My Computer"... Help!

    I'm looking for the "My Computer" icon. I do not have the icon workstation; I made the different "tasks and tips" to supposedly turn on and I DO HAVE ICON CALLED 'COMPUTER' ON MY DESKTOP.  However, 'COMPUTER' is not equal to ' MY COMPUTER ' on this system.

    The 'My Computer', I want TO open a box with the usual File, Edit, View, Favorites, tools, and help under the blue bar containing the words 'My Computer' and the image of the icon in the left corner.   I want to choose 'Tools' that will 'gray out', the 'back' and 'forward' buttons and leaves an icon file with blue-green arrow pointing to the sky, research (with the microscope icon), folders (with the icon files) and a multi-dropdown button in the next line of command icons.  Below, is address, which should show the icon and the words of my computer.  Under the present is called 'Folder Options' box with 3 three topics on the left: tasks system, other places, and details. the first item under details, Workstation should be written in bold black.  On the upper area of the Folder Options, there are 4 four tabs: general, opinion, Types of files and offline files.  In the 'View' tab, I should be able to see the views of folders on top with 2 two buttons (apply to all records and reset all folders) and a list drop down in the bottom; advanced settings one of these subfolders in advanced settings should be: files and folders hidden.  I should be able to select that subfolder and get two 2 options: do not show the hidden files and folders and Show hidden files and folders, I would choose.

    The "Computer" icon that appears is called 'Computer' and opens the box with options to organize, System properties, uninstall or change a program, map network drive, and open the Panel control and it shows different drives on the computer, devices, network, and other information.

    Can someone tell me PLEASE how to access "My Computer"?  And, if it is a really stupid question, I apologize in advance.  But I've looked everywhere I know to look and I'm not.  Thank you very much.

    So the answer to my question is, "Yes, * I * am coming from an older operating system."  (I was wondering if your experience which has been remote or not).

    The problem is that many of the features of the file Explorer (it is really what we're talking about here) / appearance changed with Vista / Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 in the ~ 13 years since the release of Windows XP you are looking at the example of what it should look like you.  ;-)

    The 'my computer' in Windows XP does not exist (as it was in Windows XP.)  The look of crayola disappeared.

    Once these are the only elements to be activated, click on 'Apply' at the bottom and then click "Apply to folders" to the top of the window and then click 'OK' at the bottom.

    The top of the 'Computer' window, choose 'View' and see if there is a check mark next to the "Status bar" in the menu drop-down selection.  If it is, leave it alone (press ESC on your keyboard) if it is not one, click it.  The next time you select the 'View' menu, there should be a checkmark next to the "status bar".

  • Cannot find the image by ID, but able to find in your library

    It is more of an FYI as a question, but I guess I would like to know why this happens.

    I had a model for image 58866084 and decided to buy it. I got the number and got no results. So I went back to searching by keyword, and found a similar one that led me to the author, then I found the picture and bought it.

    Normally, you can search for an image by ID but for some reason that I could not in this case. It seemed just strange to me so I went to noteworthy here.

    You are welcome!

  • Error: System cannot find the path specified during the installation of most of the programs of the C drive

    I can't install most of the system disk c.It programs always show me "system cannot find the path specified." But, when I copy it to a disk D it starts installing. Most of the programs is not installed properly, because it seems that they cannot access some areas on the system drive. I tried already to check drive C for errors. It did not help. »

    I solved my problem. It seems that Windows 7 creates additonal 100 MB partition with the system partition. When I reinstall Windows 7 I formatted the C drive but not the extra partition and perhaps this conflict has caused. I installed the system again but I have two of these drives formatted and it works normally again. Thanks anyway.

    1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

    2. Why are you trying to fix the computer?

    It would be possible that the Windows XP installation disc is damaged.

    (a) you can try to do a Windows XP disk which should correspond to the same edition, as it is installed on your machine.

    (b) later, try to repair the installation and check if you are able to boot to the desktop normally.

    I clicked on install update driver/driver from Device Manager.

    I tried the work around, eliminating the "LowerFilters" of the registry.  Guess what?  You have it, no luck.
