• When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated.

  Windows XP Activation loop.

  When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated. All I can do is, click 'OK' and he takes me into a log on screen with my name on it and goes through the same process, as described at the beginning of this statement. I'm in a loop. The only way out is to wipe my hard drive and reload windows new who, within 30 days, it will do no doubt once again. How to do this?
  For 3 years I rebooted my computer. That's why I reloaded it in the first place. I sent this version of Windows XP by Microsoft and have recharged the system at least 4 times in the past 10 or 11 years.

• Microsoft Agent restored my Windows Vista Home Premium Remote but am now prompted to activate.

  Two weeks ago, I contacted Microsoft take charge of assistance to install the Windows SP2. Over two days, I worked with a Microsoft support officer who finally restored Windows Vista Home Premium Remote because I don't have my Windows backup of disks. Finally, I could finally update my system with all updates and service packs.

  Now, I'm getting a command prompt that I need to activate Windows. I tried the product key and the CD key that he gave me. The product key does not work and when I type the CD key I get an error message that says that licensing does not. Code error 0xC004F063. Nobody knows why, I'm having this problem? Help, please. I'm so tired of having all these problems. The time I spent trying to sort out the mistakes of Windows starts to affect my productivity and business.

  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• Virtual device SystemControlSet Format of the driver in the registry is invalid

  I am running Windows XP sp3, not interested in Windows 7 on this computer, I am trying to install a scanner Agfa Arcus II venerable (still today considered as one of the best for publication).  PC drivers are available from Agfa and downloaded as FotoLook for PC, however...

  When I try to run the driver Agfa Arcus II, she prays for a disc I don't have (I have mac verson drive) I think it may contain some "Agfa FotoLook", I found the download of Agfa Fotolook but before installing I was marked "SystemControlSet Virtual device driver in Registry Format is close the invalid program.

  Now I wonder? If someone has an idea, I would be very grateful for the thought.

  Thank you, Robert.

  The problem is new and may have a lot to do with my SCSI card and the communication between my computer and my Agfa Arcus II.  One problem was the drivers, but I was recommended to install ViewScan for Agfa Arcus II as he aged drivers superceeds of own Agfa and digitization program and everything works.

  I'm now having a go at installing one of the recommended SCSI cards, can I ask ISA and EISA? My motherboard is a GA of Gygabyte old-SINXP1394(GA-8SQ800 Ultra2),
