I am trying to replace my product key OEM "generic" with "individual" product key on the label "Genuine Microsoft" at the back of my case.
I'm preparing the machine for use by my mother - a neophyte computer - live too far away for me to provide practical support. In the case of mus - PAH, I I I want that product key installed to match the product label "Genuine Microsoft" attached to the case key.
The system is that an already activated Windows XP Media Center with Service Pack 3 installed - with an installed OEM (?) product key:
Windows product key: *-* - GDTF9 - B9QW7-BBVH6
QUESTION: Since I do not know if this license is a license in "Volume" or an "OEM license" it is unclear what instructions to follow...
I tried the Windows product key update tool... .on the on the system, which withdraws as 'Authentic' (Validation status: genuine) which failed (as described below). Is it possible to replace this with the "real" product key?
Following the instructions in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/genuine/product-key for Windows XP.
Windows product key update tool
1. open Windows Update Tool product key. (file: KeyUpdateTool_enu.exe)

After the updates of Windows 7 computer does not start
I received a notice from the system Windows 7 updates have been downloaded and available for installation. I selected the installation of updates. After the updates when installed I was in charge to restart. The computer will not start at the top. It tries but stops at a blue screen with a cursor. I tried to boot into "safe mode" and get the same. I booted from my original Windows 7 disc and I went back to my restore point before the update. It appeared to restore successfully but I still get a blue screen.
What is my next course of action? I certainly DON'T want to format the drive and start again.The only thing I can say is that I know that you will not like to hear.
It is to re - install Windows 7 (do not enter the product key and uncheck the 'Activation').
Then immediately turn off automatic updates.
Then, go to the Microsoft Update site and only install one update at a time (make a note of the number KBXXXXXX), restart and check that you do not get the blue screen. Then download the next update and repeat the process until you either find to have installed the offending update or updates without any problem. If all goes well and the problem did not repeat, then you can activate Windows.
If you find yourself always with the blue screen after a given Update call Microsoft and tell them. If they won't listen, then create a new post on this forum, making reference to the question of the blue screen AND the number associated with the update. Also post the number here if I can do some research on the problem.

The Windows Setup program does not open. Stuck with black screen.
Hi all
I'm trying to install windows 7 from an iso file using Bootcamp assistant, Version 6.0.1 but unfortunately just windows installer does not open so I'm stuck with this black screen. I left my sit MacBookPro autour with this black screen during more than half an hour and after awhile, it gets really hot so I interrupted the "process."
I have reset the NVRAM (command + alt + p + r) which did nothing.
I followed the instructions of bootcamp. I downloaded the correct drivers for my model of mac pro book, I created a bootable and partitioned my drive.
The forum has a lot of "black screen problems" but none of their solutions worked for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
1. leave BCA creates the installer from USB, but not to partition your drive.
2. download the correct drivers to install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support and replace $WinPEDriver$, AutoUnattend.xml, and the entire folder on the drive flash USB2 Bootcamp.
3. run BCA, connect the USB cable and click only the Windows Installer and test if the Setup program starts.

Windows Update don't load/Windows Media Player does not start
On XP Home Edition SP3, the last week I not was able to get the Windows Update page to load. There is no error message, IE8 seems to think that the loading of the page and there's code, but a blank white page in IE8. I discovered this problem after finding that Windows Media Player wouldn't start - again without error message. I look in Task Manager, the wmplayer.exe process runs for a few seconds, then disappears.
I have run a number of analyses of malware using Avira Free edition (now uninstalled), Spybot S & D, MalwareBytes Antimalware, Windows Defender, and Microsoft Security Essentials with no result or change.
I reset IE8 to its default settings and now find that I can't choose a search engine or view other pages on the Microsoft support site, such as http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=assistance--il displays only the banner from the top on a white page. (I write this using Chrome).
Other posts on the forum about the update or Media Player starts does not seem to be on other versions of Windows, and I've not found anything about problems at a time.
Someone else met this kind of problem?
Thank you

Windows 8 Pro does not start after windows update updates for April
Hello
Pulled up to my PC this morning and was asked to install updates from windows update. Check the list, there are 11 important available updates. I have unchecked and hiding implementing Nvidia updated as I want to do the updates of my GPU myself. Installed the remaining 10, completed and has been asked to restart my PC.
The problems starts here; I am more able to start windows.
It is past the bios screen, shows the blue flag with a circle of rotation below and then... nothing more than a black screen and my screen goes to mode 'sleep'.
I tried to start in safe mode minimum clean using a prompt (bcdedit/set {default} safeboot) repair my installation disk option, but it does not start even in safe mode.
I run system restore turned on so that the option is not valid for me.
The system is now check the disk for errors, but it seems to hang there as well as happens for more than 2 hours now...
Any way that I can return the updates of windows on the outside? Any other suggestions than the reset of the installation disc?
Spec: Evga x 58 classified 3, Intel Core i7 950, 2 x Geforce GTX 580 in SLI, 12 GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3, Corsair Force 3 SSD 128 gb, Dell u2711 2560 x 1440. Win Pro 8 x 64, completely up to date with the latest drivers. PC worked perfectly up to this Point.
Disappointed that the "major updates" Microsoft kills my work machine.
Problem solved now and it was the update of KB2808735 who was / is the origin of the problem.
I placed my SSD into another computer and was able to pull up in SafeMode off and remove the updates.
Installed all the updates one by one until it chrashed again installing the update mentioned above.
