Try to activate Windows XP Home by phone.

I bought windows XP home retail SP1 back in 2002. Have lived many hardware upgrades and had to re - activate several times. I always install XP with SP1 that is already on the disk, then install SP3, then activate. I've never had any problems, activate the software, except that I can't call him, with the exception of the last time that I reinstalled the OS, put in the key product as usual and he excepted it as usual, but when I went to call to get activated, the automated phone system said the incorrect product key and would not let me activate it. Still called times the number and the toll-free number, it would be leaves even me not to talk to a real person, what he can do. There is nothing wrong on my end, I even reinstalled the operating system again and got the same thing of automatism, understand my product key had already been taken and it is the same one I've always used and XP accepted during the installation. The automated phone system says looks like you have an incorrect use of the product key and to take your software back where you bought it since then, quite difficult to do since I've had it for 8 years. Then he said: Sorry, we cannot activate your software at the moment. I went to come and put Vista on the computer, I tried to activate it, but in the future will want to put XP on this computer, because it works better with it. I wanted only to activate XP on this one computer. You have any suggestions.

    I am trying to activate Windows 7 Home Premium (it is a box, the retail copy) does not. I reinstalled Windows twice before and had no problems with the same product key. What can I do to activate it?

    Best regards

    More that likely the issue of activation is due to the fact that you previously (twice) installed and activated Windows. This time, Windows thinks that the key is used. Try to activate by phone.

    (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

    How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

    I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

    Hi Christian,

    I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

    As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

    I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

  • Blue screen when you try to install Windows XP Home Edition on Satellite L350D-11 has

    Hello
    When I try to install Windows XP Home (including SP3) on my new L350D-11 has a blue screen after loading the drivers.
    When booting with Kubuntu Live CD (8.x) appears an error message: / sbin/modprobe out anomalous.

    At least I need Windows XP because of some programs that do not work under Vista. Is it possible to install XP?

    Hello

    Hmm I think the BSOD appears because you didn t add SATA drivers in the Win XP operating system.

    However, you can try to install Win XP on your laptop without the use of the SATA driver, but you can change the SATA AHCI in the BIOS in compatible mode.

  • I get the error 0xC004E003 code when I try to activate Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Someone knows how to solve?

    I get an error 0xC004E003 code when I try to activate windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, someone knows how to fix?, have read and tried everything what others had said to others who have the same problem and nothing

    You buy a genuine Windows 7 license. The copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, you have installed is an OEM SLP license that should only be preloaded with a new PC. You seem to have installed a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that uses an activation exploit that bypasses the product activation.

    We know that it is because the BIOS date:

    20080909000000.000000 + 000

    Windows 7 was released in 2009, the date of your BIOS says 2008, which means probably that your system is provided with Windows Vista or Windows XP.

    In addition, he is a well known Windows 7 Ultimate license which has been used all over the web:
    Windows product key: *-* - YG69F - 9M66D-PMJBM

    Do a search on the web.

    Thus, you must either charge your version of Windows that came on your computer (Vista or XP) or consider purchasing a license of Windows 7 genuine.

  • Windows can not activate at this time, try to activate Windows later.

    I bought my laptop 2 months ago and activated windows when I started it upward. Last week, however, for some unknown reason my laptop won't start properly so I had to do a restore to an earlier date. This good all worked but every time I start up it takes me to the screen of the PC settings and tells me to activate windows. When I click on activate "control key" text flashes for a split second, then disappears, nothing happens and it says above "Windows can not activate at this time, try to activate Windows later. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft and online support to activate Windows. "It is incredibly boring because all the days Windows spends half an hour to start the download of updates only so he can fail and take half an hour to undo the changes." My laptop came with Windows 8, so I have not updated. I know my activation key but have nowhere to enter the PC changes screen. I also tried to run the slmgr.vbs-ipk command prompt - followed my unsuccessful activation key, I get error 0 x 80070426.

    Hello

    The product key that BelArc concludes on licensed OEM machines (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) is not adapted to the re-installation.

    This PK was for factory installation on several machines during production use.

    You need the product key on the COA sticker.

    As it is not on the underside of the laptop look in the battery compartment.

    See you soon.

  • Problem: I can't activate windows vista even with "phone activation".

    Hello world
    I just re-formatted my computer and now I am asked to activate windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 32.
    I try to activate it, but I want to take this message: your product key is already in use!
    I try the phone activation but when I call it just make the noise characteristic beep beep beep and then my call ends.
    I have genuine Windows Vista product key (bought).
    I never gave my reference to anyone.
    So I don't know what the problem... Help, please.

    Thanks in advance. Jim

    The second is a general for the Greece phone number as you have indicated that your country is the Greece. If you dial the number and explain your activation problem and the phone number doesn't work not they may be directly connect you to support or you give a better number to use.
