Unable to reinstall my XP Pro original cd, windows says its not legitimate.
Due to a bad virus, I had to reinstall my Windows XP Pro and now I can't activated because it says that its not legitimate. I've had this since XP came out and had an XP update cd that has been stollen from me but I still have the original xp cd. Support is not available for this moment and I don't want to spend the money to upgrade to 7 or buy a new computer. My husband uses it just to check his sometimes (rarely) to yahoo mail and research. It has not even service pack 1 on it and I can not download because it says that it is not authentic, and I know very well that it is but I can't prove it because the recipes are long gone. Someone at - it suggestions? Please? It is not just that they make it to where you can buy new softwear or a new computer. It still works very well. Thank you, everyone. I have another pc I use and also a laptop. It's my husband and he only of e-mail and will be submitted to a Web site when someone sends something to look at.

Unable to connect to hotmail account, says its not available
Original title: unable to connect!
I used my hotmail account to sign in and ask my own question. Now, whenever I try to connect, I always get the 'One step further' window (which your FAQ says that occurs the first time) and if I try to use the screen name I used the first time, she says that's not available! Yes I know! IT OF MINE! I'm the one who used it!
Should we use a single pseudonym with each single sign-in? What is the point to choose a pseudonym, if it cannot be used once?
How can I use the original screen name, I put?
Hello. It is mikecooper AKA yongkalep.
Looks like it was fixed!
THANK YOU, BARB!
I hope you see this. My email tells me I've got a private message, but now that I'm yongkalep again, I can't see... ;-)

Windows vista laptop, but the activation code on the bottom is for windows xp pro, what I can do
You have an Acer laptop, Packard Bell Windows Vista computer running?
Packard Bell OEM Windows can only be used on machines from Packard Bell.
If the label says XP, then the machine was initially delivered with XP,
and the one who sold you the machine will rip you off with an illegal copy of Vista.
If you can, get your money back.
If not, you will have either to reinstall XP, or get a legitimate copy of something more recent.

Due to a major accident due to the power failure during the installation of the driver updates, I had to re install a good large number of programs, one being intelitype pro.
Made the normal elimination with add and remove, but kept having the program stopped asking for the disc, even if it was in the player and had been directed to it many times. The program kept appearing and disappearing in the Add/Remove window. It was not found in the programs. Finally turned to fix. I found patches corrupted in the registry and these as well as other repaired registry issues. He also said that it had removed the software. In re boot and attempt to re installation, I found myself back at the beginning, except that this time, that the file is that neither in the programs, nor add it delete window. What I'm doing.
(The accident seems to have illiminated one of my portable usb drive. It does not show in the Device Manager. Just, it's sitting there and a strident sound; "but that is another problem).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Bob.

I installed this on many machines from Win 95. I now running on several machines of Win XP Pro SP3.
INSTALLATION of Sage BJ. EXE has a creation Date of the Sep 1998 05, size 24 KB. I tried every compatibility mode selection, WinXP SP3 via Win 95 - Win 7 don't like him for any of them. So I can't even at first base to install it now.
Research online, I can't find clues for newer versions.
It would seem that, if it was "mission critical", I will follow a path to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro, so that I can install it "Win XP Mode". Maybe need arises for some other software, but not for running a game.The program was designed there is an earlier version of win years, cannot as such that it is supposed to operate an o/s, win7, what is fundimentally different from earlier versions of victory, even in compatibility modes.
Maybe that is a 16-bit program, and you are using a version of win7 64-bit?
Even the installation of Virtualwinxp is no guarantee it will install

The clean install of Windows 7 Pro X 64, Windows update does not.
I installed Windows, and the first thing I did was update. Nothing, the small green progress bar goes around and
round with no updates. The only other apps on this machine are .net 4.5 and Norton anti-virus. I checked the PC the next day and the Windows Update progress bar was still going round and round with no updates. Help!
This has been an ongoing problem. See this very interesting article-
http://www.ZDNet.com/article/sticking-with-Windows-7-the-forecast-calls-for-pain/
I just did a new install of Win 7 64 for a client and found that the tips in the article manually download and install the KB3083710 and the KB3102810 updates work. He made a remarkable difference in the speed at which a search for updates and then ran.
