• Unable to activate Windows XP Home Edition after the repair facility.

  Of that, I was running a Dell Dimension 5000 bought from the Dell website in 2005. After this computer from run very slowly, I decided on an upgrade. So I removed the hard drive of this computer with XP Home Installation and everything what it intact and plugged the hard drive into a completely new computer (that I bought and customized piece by piece). I also installed Windows XP Pro using the ability of XP to run dualboot. Now the Pro works well, but has of course none of the programs of the host OS installed as even if Pro and Home are installed on the same drive C, Pro of course did not the registry of home settings. That's fine, but when I chose the House to the splash screen immediately after my computer upward once again, I have encountered an error saying that Windows has shut down the computer to prevent damage etc. by a blue screen of death. So I fixed installed House, by inserting the Home CD in the CD drive (which is also new and I bought, not even the one from my old computer to 2005), choice of APPETIZER and not the repair console and then clicking R to repair the detected existing OS. I fixed installed and I was thrilled when the problem has been resolved. When I chose the House and after having set up, I was greeted by the familiar screen with users that I had set up on my PC of 2005. When I clicked the user admin, typed the password, he accepted the password and then a box came up saying I had to activate Windows before I could open a session. By clicking on the number resulted in the user disconnects automatically before the start menu or desktop appeared. Clicking Yes led me to a screen that gives me the choice to choose between online and phone activation. As my entire computer (except for the hard drive) is new, the internet network adapter is also new, and that's why the internet settings (the 2005 model old) which I had not yet changed on the Pro Installation do not allow me to activate via the net. I tried via telephone following all the instructions and punch in the 25 digit code generated by the wizard in the phone and told me that the operator could not generate a code (for me 2 type in the boxes provided and therefore use to activate XP Home). I then shut down the PC, went to the installation of Pro, changed the IP settings according to the instructions given to me by the ISP to the phone and checked the net now works on installation of Pro IE. It worked, and I now turned off, chose the House and tried to activate on the net and there is not yet well make sure that my computer is connected to the net. I even clicked on the phone option and changed my ID by typing my OEM 25 product key numbers and clicking Refresh. I tried again by phone and still could not activate my installation in a House. The installation CD home I used was the 2 me by my Builder (a purple disk saying OPERATING SYSTEM: ALREADY INSTALLED on YOUR COMPUTER). This CD certainly isn't a forgery because I ordered directly from DELL and not even the 2005 Bill to prove it. Is it because I changed my system components and not my hard drive with it, which is the origin of this problem? How can I fix this without backup everything and remove the installation of the House and then re - install?

  "ArjunC" wrote in message News: 3df4138b-2174-4cb1-821e-0527dc60da2c...

  In fact the Windows XP Pro has been installed by the people who moved the hard drive to the new computer. I never asked for it. But remove XP Pro still wouldn't solve my problem. I need to find a way to use my original of 25 characters product key or get a key of success generated by phone so that I can log on to Windows XP Home Edition and continue to use my PC as how I used my old. Some people have told me that I can convince to install MS by phone that I transferred the disk hard - 2 a new computer and then tried a repair but the problem is that all the numbers given on Activation Wizard phone are automated, giving instructions, asking the ID generated by the wizard and then telling me that they are unable to generate an ID for activation. If there is human here, how do you convince a machine of my innocence :)

  You need to reinstall using an XP Home OEM disk - see if one of your friends has one you can borrow. The key on your COA sticker will be valid for this.
  You can also contact Dell and ask them to provide a set of disks in your machine - for a price.

• I m unable to activate windows after formatting my pc 8?

  I upgarded windows 7 to windows 8 I bought from microsoft.

  but after formatting my pc, I am unable to activate it. It shows error always activate windows.
  Please help if anyone know the solution.
  I tried activation by telephone, but he always says "IT MUST BE A MISTAKE TECHNIQUE".
  Help, please...

  To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

• Unable to activate Windows XP Professional in my computer

  Install a MEMORY card for more memory, (512 MB) turned on the computer, a message appears saying: we recognize the new hardware and I need to activate Windows.

  Followed the steps to activate windows. Problem is this;  the activation window when you plug the key codes are not shown the rectangular boxes. All that appears is an area of blue color with nothing written in it, or the boxes to enter key codes. I tried to locate a phone number to call tech support but impossible to find or get one. What can I do to activate windows in my computer?       Is there a phone number I can call for technical support?

  Your system seems to be an IBM (now Lenovo) ThinkCenter A50?

  Your product key seems to be OK - and everything seems OK.

  I can only assume that all what you need to do is to re - activate by phone.

  Note that if telephone activation fails when you use the automated service, it is usually better hang up, and then phone back - this time do NOT respond when the servie ask what service you need. This should force the operator to pick up, which may solve your problem.

• Unable to activate Windows Vista by phone

  I just installed my windows vista in my new laptop computer. I received the license key on a sticker on the back of my previous laptop. I've heard that I need to activate my windows by phone in my new laptop computer. But the telephone activation option comes after clicking on activate windows now in system under windows activation. It shows the following screen.

  

  Hello

  The reason that you can not activate it is because you cannot transfer your product key license/Vista of your old laptop to another laptop.

  You need to buy another license of Vista from somewhere, but Microsoft sells more than vista.

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  See you soon.

  the system notifies my to activate my version of windows, when I followed the procedure, a message with the error code to show me that my product key is in use.

  wait for the amiable assistant yor

  concerning

  This happens often because he sees it used already on your own computer (it can not make a difference).  If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Unable to activate Windows 7

  After I formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows 7 Professional 64-bit, I tried to activate this time, it didn't work and I don't know why, the first time I installed this product key worked. He said "Error 0x8007007B file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect". I don't know much about software and hardware, but I think it has to do with the fact that I tried to use the same product twice key. I stuck it in a Notepad and saved as a file .vbs to show me my product key and it is the same one I used.

  Set WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
  MsgBox ConvertToKey (WshShell.RegRead ("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId"))

  Function ConvertToKey (Key)
  Const KeyOffset = 52
  I have = 28
  Tanks = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789.
  Do
  News = 0
  x = 14
  Do
  CUR = Cur * 256
  CUR = key (x + KeyOffset) + news
  Key (x + KeyOffset) = (NEWS-24) and 255
  CUR = Cur Mod 24
  x = x - 1
  Loop while x > = 0
  i = i - 1
  KeyOutput = Mid (tanks, News + 1, 1) & KeyOutput
  If (((29-i) Mod 6) = 0) and (I <> -1) then
  i = i - 1
  KeyOutput = "-" & KeyOutput
  End If
  Loop while I > = 0
  ConvertToKey = KeyOutput
  End Function

  I also tried the following: slmgr - ipkxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (In command prompt) and still have the problem. At this point i consider phone activation the best option but i don't think the operator has time to hear what a 15 years olb boy has to say......

• Unable to activate Windows 7 - access denied

  My computer crashed a few months ago (I've been putting off dealing with this power) and I had to do a complete and smooth reconstruction. Since the reconstruction, I was able to activate Windows 7 Pro correctly. I had another product key and tried to enter through the user interface both through slui 4, without success.

  As he had alreaqdy been activated once or twice, I need to use the phone activation. However, whenever I click Next after selecting my country (I even tried other countries to be sure), I get "an error occurred" Code - 0x80070005 - Description: access is denied.

  Tired to find a solution through various forums without success. Hoping someone smarter than I am can make sense to sub the diagnostic report. Even tried all the stupid things like making sure that the files were not read-only value and everything works as an admin (certainly an Admin account, and there is no other account anyway).

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  If you used this key to activate your older generation that had a different motherboard, so that is why you can not activate as OEM key is related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and cannot be used to activate a replacement motherboard.

• Unable to activate Windows 7 Home Premium.

  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?

  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.
