• My computer is turned off and restarted. Now, it is said, I have 3 days to activate Windows.

  It was activated at least 2 years ago. I don't have the CD with me as I am a foreigner. What should I do to keep my computer running past 3 days? Why do I need the CD or simply enter the reg code?

  You must reactivate your win7. It is a common problem in Windows 7 after installing some software which repairs in regedit. If you can not access your win CD, start CMD in Administrator and run this command

  slmgr-rearm [press ENTER]
  
  
  CMD: Start = > all programs-online accessories-online right click on command prompt, select run as administrator.

  Hi dove2k,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.

  Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.

  If the step above doesn't, try this step.

  Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
  Click (or to disable)

  

  Notes:
  On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
  You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.

  If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

• My computer is running "Windows XP stop critique.wav" sound every 10 seconds.

  My computer is running "Windows XP stop critique.wav" sound every 10 seconds for the last 8 days.  Window XP SP3.  I spent 1-1/2 hours will dell workstation support and 1-1/2 hours with my computer work (shot as a favor to my personal computer) and they find nothing, MacAfee installed, updated several full scan virus.  A ran Malwarebyte s multiple crawls - nothing.  Kaspersky lab - nothing.  Computer work ran a vrius start-up detector and nothing.  No error log is generated.  And two technicians stop various folders in the Task Manager and NOTHING he did stop.  I was sent a disc of reinstalling XP SP3 Dell and I did a repair XP complete with no fix. Technician COMPUTER checked a bunch of stuff and thought it was "related to a driver."  Regardless of what is the cause, how do I find the problem and fix it.   Thank you

  @GarySibley:

  Thanks for the comments, and I'm happy that you found.  Although I'm not surprised that an msiInstaller error could have caused a "critical stop" but I never thought that he would deliver the error never seconds.

  @JudsonWelcher:

  I suggest you also check your event viewer to find errors msiinstaller.  I've seen other posts where a sound "critical stop" appears to be linked to these errors (but like I said above, not continuous repetitions of the error).

  There is no easy way that I know to track this sort of thing.  Before you start the method of 'Clean boot' or start using the process monitor, open the sound control panel applet and scroll down to check that Windows XP stop critique.wav has not been assigned to certain events in addition (or instead of) a real stop critical Windows.

• Helps to know if my computer can run Windows 8.

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP - 3 on a Dell computer that I remember precisely the age.  When I try to run the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8, I get an error message saying that it is not a valid Win 32 application, and it will not work.  I was not able to find articles or messages by other people with this problem, so I'm at a loss to know how do I know if my computer can run Windows 8.  Any suggestions or ideas?

  My computer has a coprocessor 2 GHz and 3 GB of RAM, among other things, it seems that I should be able to make the transition.  But, how can I do to determine if I can't run the upgrade wizard?  I even tried Googling this issue, which usually find anything and cannot find any reference to this problem.  Any help will be appreciated.

• computer to rebboot for xp professional when get blue screen saying c0000218 Registry file failure.

  Restart the computer for xp professional when get bluescreen c0000218 Registry file failure

  The reason why I asked and have these specific examples of the error was:

  There was an older version of Norton (and now unsupported by Norton) who, after receiving an update, when the system has restarted, and Norton, loaded, it corrupted the system of files a bit (NTFS) so next time you have restarted, you will get this error.

  Run chkdsk /r from the Recovery Console XP fix it until the next reboot when new Norton loaded and it could corrupt the NTFS still once, then you would only get one go and should run chkdsk /r every reboot.  Allegedly, the system has worked fine - until the next reboot.

  If you run chkdsk /r and then restarted in Mode safe (so that Norton would not handle mode without failure), you can start and restart in Mode safe throughout the day without problem, but as soon as you started in Regular mode and Norton loading again, the system failed again.

  Uninstalling Norton and get their latest version fixed things upward.

  Any interruption of the power supply?  NTFS may result in corruption too that chkdsk/r will usually clear up.

  You wouldn't be able to apply the KB307545 without being able to start or something.  If MS Answers forums would prompt some system information when a new question is asked (as you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD), maybe one day we would not have this kind of answers that won't be of great use if you cannot start.

  Here you go:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
