Validate Windows XP Reinstall
I need to perform a complete XP Home Edition OEM SP3 system reinstallation. The OEM CD contains Service Pack 2. What should I do to be able to use the same product key and avoid any possible activation/validation problem? No hardware changes will happen.
Install the OEM SP2 product, jump runnning Windows Update, download and manually install SP3 (see below), create a backup of the Image, and then install the updates of Windows crtical (limit each spend about 20 updates and then create another image to backup before installing the next group of updates) into small pieces.
Where to download the SP3 Setup file:
(The file is large but only installs the components required by your PC)

Equium L300 - how to validate Windows?
After I put my laptop to original settings, I got a message to validate windows. When I clicked on the legend now validate windows I get a message saying that the key is incorrect. The number on the computer is different from the one on the Microsoft label on the underside of the computer.
Vista was ok before putting the laptop back to original settings. Vista was preinstalled when I got the laptop.Any ideas how to validate Windows?
> Vista was ok before putting the laptop back to original settings
The preinstalled Vista is already activated and so activation is not necessary and is not necessary.I put t understand what you mean by: + I put my laptop to original settings + and Feliks you asked how you did that.
In your case, I would just try to install the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba yet once on your laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.

Impossible to validate windows
TITLE of the MOOSE: geniune
I had to wipe my computer and rebuild it and in the process, the manufacturer gave me a copy of Windows that is apparently not authentic, or they don't give me a product code, I didn't write down what they gave me. Now, I have less than 20 days to validate Windows. Need help. Cannot update Windows Media Player or download certain features of Microsoft. Have you tried to activate on the phone. Thank you.
Hi Aaron,
What happened when you tried to activate Windows by phone?
You need a valid product key to activate Windows XP.
If you have the ability to validate Windows through the Windows Genuine Advantage tool, and it does not work, you can consult this article to solve problems.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/916247
Genuine Windows: frequently asked questions are here for your reference.

Given that you have obtained the copy from the manufacturer, I suggest that you contact for further assistance.

Hi all. For two weeks now, I tried to help a veteran 84-year difficulty his virus infected Office Windows 8 Gateway (Walmart) age of 2 years old.
The poor old man was a PC buyer first time when he bought this PC two years ago & didn't have understand the consequences of not renewing its 60-day trial version antivirus. Therefore after continuing to run his PC online almost two years later, it was badly infected. I went there to help a couple of weeks & he was clearly infected. I installed Malewarebytes, which found more than 2100 malewares & 7 Trojan horses...
I used the factory at the same time restore within Windows 8 boot, & of course, it works but will not validate Windows 8 once it ends. I even tried to clear cmos without result. He can simply read the product ID key encrypted from the UEFI bios.
I could go in another (horrible) story about a third out of the seller of the security assistance Acer references on their site, but in reality what good it would do at this point?
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance for your time, review, & effort!
Kind regards
Frank
I would try to use the Microsoft phone activation before installing windows 7 (it must define Roop, disable startup secure, sometimes you need to update your BIOS too to have the option of CSM)
Press Office windows 8:
the Windows logo key + r
type
slui.exe 4
Press enter
Choose to activate by phone and follow the instructions on the screen.

This copy of Windows did not validate Windows.
I got a pc from a friend of my brothers. It is free OF THE discs, but had Windows XP Pro installed. Needless to say I got it at low cost. I recently bought an Internet access and began installing updates from Windows Update. He changed to update Microsoft Update sites and asked for me to validate Windows. I did it, but the software is a pirate? The system for this problem (a small star) tray icon has four options to resolve this problem. The four go to the site, which is NO HELP. Can I buy a genuine Windows license for this? If so I hope that's not expensive, if it is I'll be forced to return the pc to my brothers friend and cancel my internet service as I am a disabled veteran and have ZERO income. I have Windows 95 and 98 originals if that helps.
Oh... before you propose, this pc has only 256 MB of RAM and impossible to move to Windows7.
Help, please.
Sincerely, Ron

How come my computer did not come with windows 7 reinstall discs
Why are'nt windows 7 reinstall disks sent with new computers?
Save $ 10,
Contact them and get a.
There was a class action against Acer for this same reason,
Do not provide a recovery disk which had Vista on it,
They had a partition from the factory, but it is not good enough.

I have Windows 7 reinstalled on my machine. Now when it boots up, it hangs on drive A, two minutes or more. The light A drive turns on but the screen is completely blank - nothing. The machine will start subsequently, but it takes forever. Is there a way to fix this?
A: drive is almost always a floppy drive, you have a floppy drive? I ask because most of Windows 7 computers is not these. I would check the Device Manager to see if a floppy drive is it shows. Since you say a drive light turns on, it's the floppy drive or maybe your CD/DVD or hard drive fire? It seems more likely that Windows is suspended to try to identify a USB device, so I would try to unplug all USB devices except the keyboard and mouse and see if the problem persists. I had this happen with some markets good USB hubs. You can always add additional USB ports "inside the box" If you have a desktop computer by getting an expansion card - they are not expensive. They usually cost between $15 and $25.
Good luck.
