• Message "Non-genuine Windows" & Windows Update does not work after replacing the RAM.

  Hello

  I have a PC desktop HPE-170 a current running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, which has been installed on the machine by the store where I bought it. It has been properly activated and has worked very well for 18 months or more.

  The other day it decided to not start and a computer savvy friend corrected the problem by removing the RAM memory cards, clean the gold plated connectors and re - insert the. This fixes the problem and it started again.

  Today I received a message on the computer of Microsoft saying "your copy of Windows is not genuine" and he invited me to "solve online. Well, click on the 'My Computer' icon showed me that windows was still active.

  By clicking on the "solve Online" link took me to a validation page, where after she tried to validation, it says "The Validation failed" and advised me to buy another copy of Windows 7 HP for AUD $149. Gee, thanks, but no thanks Microsoft. I clicked on cancel and the non-genuine message has not yet reappeared.

  I also found now that Windows Update doesn't work that way.

  I rang MS that says that I need the Windows 7 Setup disk. When I said that I don't have one, they advised me to ring HP. I didn't have time to complete the phone call from HP, but I believe that HP wants me to reset the system to factory with them State guide me by phone.

  I have a genuine copy of Windows, a product key, and it shows as activated.  From what I understand the system think that I tried to put my copy of Windows 7 on a new computer or similar? I'm not sure.

  Is it really difficult to get the system works just like before?

  Thanks for the reply.

  I'm afraid I don't understand your instructions. I think that you are a fair way waiting for me in the issues of tech savvy.

  I think I have stumbled upon something here; http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

  Download and update this driver seemed to do Windows Update includes itself.

  I can now go here; realwww.microsoft.com/ /validate/ and he says: "Welcome to Windows".

  I hope I now get no more fake messages on my OS Windows is non-genuine.

  I'll see what happens tomorrow.

  Last update 18/7: seems to be fixed, no more problems.

• Can I use my product key to get a vista installation disc sent me to start ona computer broken?

  My desktop came with Vista already installed, but after a total crash, I need to start over.  I have no OS on it right now, but I have the official Windows product key.  Can I use this product key to get a physical boot disk?

  Hello

  There is no free and legal Vista download

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Microsoft provides no DVD of vista for Dell brand name computers Acer etc.

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  I bought a laptop computer with non-genuine windows 7. I have the original windows xp product key pro, etc. from the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have the windows xp pro cd.  Help me, please!

  You will need to either buy a version authentic retail Windows XP, with its key sales, to a true scource or visit the site of laptop manufacturers, support for your model and see what versions of win are taken care of, then buy a commercial version of this o/s.

  The key on the base of the laptop is the recovery key that requires that the recovery disks provided by the manufacturer.

  You could phone manufacturers to support to see if they have the origonal recovery cd send you, for which it maybe a small fee.

• Windows Media Center has stopped updating the lists Guide for Windows 7

  Windows 10 will go out the next Wednesday July 29, 2015. I have Windows 7 and I have technical problems with the Guide in Windows Media Center lists. This isn't updated Guide lists and I wonder if this problem is related to the upgrade of Windows 10?

  I called a technician to answer Microsoft desktop and the technician fixed my computer errors. Unfortunately, he could not fix this problem. Even though I always reset and auto update of listings in the Guide, the result will prove be the same with "no data."

  Windows Media Center has given me many error messages:

  Windows Media Center

  "Windows Media Center has corrected a problem with your registration data and will download the Guide even once. You should review your records to make sure they are always planned properly. »

  Failed to download

  "The new TV configuration data could not be downloaded. Existing data, if any, will be used as you continue by configuring the TV signal. »

  Downloadable guide is not available

  "Downloadable TV Program Guide listings are not available due to previous failures of download. For more information, right-click on the Windows Media Center system tray icon and open Windows Media Center update log. Select back to try again. You may be able to get the TV show lists, if they are available. »

  Guide download error

  "The Guide could not be downloaded. For more information, then Windows Media Center system tray icon right-click and open Windows Media Center update log. »

  I can watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center and manually record TV shows, but it is difficult for me to record TV shows without ads Guide on Windows Media Center.

  Note to update (as of August 2, 2015):

  The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads was already programmed by zap2it until July 21. After July 21, zap2it is no longer can update the lists Guide for Windows Media Center.

  July 23, Rovi Corporation's new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads.

  From 23 July, listings in Windows Media Center Guide is running back to normal for Windows 7 users.

  My Guide Panel is equipped with a selector more [on the listings in the Guide] where is the expiration date. I hope that Microsoft does not support Windows 7 WMC.

  Please don't waste your time trying to solve the WMC, it is the expiration of the license that is causing the problem. I know it's frustrating.

  On the other hand, is - can anyone say with certainty that WMC is available on Windows 10? No charge for the upgrade to Windows 7?

  The way I see it, not providing the function of key in W7 WMC guide is motivation upgrading to W10, assuming that WMC is available.

  Hopefully Microsoft will give us the fix for WMC in W7.
