• Activate Windows now or later

  Help, my computer has been set up on automatic updates-August 27, 2011 total 27 records updated. A being 2508958 KB Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and 25 other people who say security updates. I continue to put off restarting my computer, I was in the middle of some work. Monday, August 29, 2011 had tired of the pop up and restarted my computer. All the * broke loose. He asked for me to activate Windows NOW or later, need a new activation key. I use the one in the back of my computer, but he said that it was not good. Windows Vista came installed on my computer (gateway GT5662). I went to Microsoft chat line for 2 hours and went back and not luck. Again I call gateway or my provider internet and it said it wasn't their problem. I called gateway and had someone in the third word, difficult to understand, and we got nowhere. All they wanted to do me was reformat and re install all the software again and make a copy of my data. I didn't do it. Then I upgraded me to supervisor and the same results. They said to call Microsoft, it was a Windows problem. Three hours and no help. I did not understand them and they could not understand me. Then I went to Microsoft again and dial the 1-800-831-9601 at 10:16 on August 30, 2011. They spoke of how they could help me and had me install some software so that they can take over and fix my computer. After one hour after the call, I was struck with 239.99 costs upward to fix my computer. They show me the files that need to come off and said it was the problem. At this point I was so much rest I said fix it and paid the money. Then they said to do, I have a laptop and I said yes and they said it was only a matter of time before the same thing happens to it. Again, I've been talking to spend another 239.99 and they took over my lap top working on both at the same time. They install some programs and said how it was during a time of lifting and it would fix everything. Well so far I didn't this problem with the laptop. But they want to try one thing after another and they was not able to set activate Windows now or later that was my only concern. After 22:30, they asked if they could call back Wednesday and finished. When this happens, I lost all of my Microsoft Office 2007 so it keep saying that the user could not give the right to use the program and it has not been found. I have my key for this also, but it won't let me try to re - enter the keys. I was getting 0xC004F033 and 0X80004005 error codes. After reading some of the question, I've posted wonder was legal or not. They had control of my computers up to eight hours. Here is a copy of a receipt for one I paid.

Thanks for choosing computer support 24/7, now I'm wondering whether I was talking to Microsoft. I don't have the money to pay for both and they had me send this email to them. Which they type. Until the post I read, I thought it was Microsoft calling. Now, I don't know what thinking and have paid for a computer and the one I always claim not working and asking the activation key. I don't know what to do. I have the key that is listed in the computer and no other figure to put back. What is - this on the update which gives people a problems. My printer driver will not work. What can I do else, I tried to restore to an earlier date, but it does not work. I went in and uninstalled the update of Windows, but when I restarted my computer it them installed again.

  Hi Carrie Walker,

  You can try to uninstall the update and try to hide the update which is at the origin of the problem.

  Step 1:

  You can read the following article to uninstall an update.

  Remove an update

  Step 2:

  a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.

  (b) in the left pane, click search for updates, and then, when Windows finds updates for your computer, click on view available updates.

  c. right-click on the update, you do not want to install and then click Hide update. The next time you check the updates, the update will not be automatically selected or installed.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Do you mean "activate"? Registration is optional; Activation is not. You don't have not given us enough information to targeted assistance. What type of XP installation disc are you using?

• Suddenly, I got a pop up screen asking me to "Activate Windows now".

  I had windows 8 for a few years now and it reloaded several times, but all of a sudden I get the same message and it won't take my key I use to install without problems.  I bought the windows 8 pro, so I wouldn't have to load previous versions, all the time.  I called them and they say I have to upgrade to one does not require a previous version.  Is it a kind of prosthesis?  A corrupt or illegal site put a virus on my computer?  What is Microsoft saying that we will not cover this old software more?

• I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now".

  I just replaced the hard drive in my PC with my arrival of the damaged disc. I'm wondering now "activate Windows now". The code on the computer case was partly carried away and I do not have a record of it. The software has been activated once already. Suggestions, please.

  original title: hard drive swap.

  Use a magnifying glass and a strong light and see if you can retrieve the key.  It is not registered anywhere except on the label.  They are applied at the factory in batches, and there is no record that the key is affixed to a specific computer.  Recover what you can and then try to activate by phone.

  To activate Windows Vista by phone, follow these steps: click Start, and then click computer.  Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.  The Windows of Activation Wizard starts.  Click use the telephone system automated in the Windows Wizard of Activation.

  How can I activate an older version of Photoshop that I have loaded on my new tablet? Web activation does not work, and when I call the number, it is said that it is not longer used. Meanwhile, I'm 13 days until it stops working due to not be enabled. Help?  I really need to continue to use this product for my home business. It works very well not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 days more if I don't get activated, and none of the activation methods that they list seem to work.

  You can download CS2 if you have a valid license for CS or CS2.

  And you have to follow the instructions and use the download again AND the new serial number.

  Hello
  When exactly the problem occur?
   
  Follow the steps below and check if that helps.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Test the issue in safe mode and check if the keyboard is blocked.
   
  Step 2:
   
  If your computer very well in Safe Mode functions, you can put your system to boot and check if any third party or any service application is causing the problem and therefore the computer to freeze.
   
  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you can go ahead and disable or uninstall the same.
   
  Once the system is in a clean boot state, check if the computer continues to block or not.

• Help, please! Got an old computer xp, when I turn it on it asks me to activate windows now...

  Please help, I put in the Installation ID over the phone, and it says its not valid.

  I tried to call tech support, but he said the key requested is not valid? I don't know what to do :(
  I got a computer that my sister received a colleague for Christmas. Worked very well, my brother-in-law, messed with it today, replaced the motherboard and now when I turn it on it asks me to "activate Windows".
  I really don't want to have to rebuy Windows...

  Unfortunately, this is probably what you're going to do, buy another copy of Windows (or another computer).  When Windows comes pre-installed on a computer, the Windows installation is allowed on this computer and cannot be moved to another.  In order to have a component to show up and say: "it is the computer that I came!", this component is the motherboard.  Now that yours has been replaced, the Windows license that came with the old motherboard is zero and cannot be used any longer.

• When I go to the Windows website I see an announcement to say that "Windows 8 for $14.99. Is this a legitimate site and the deal?

  This is supposed to be a thing where if you buy a new computer, you can switch to Windows 8 when it comes out for $14.99. When I try to go on the site, I get a popup saying that Firefox crashes due to a certificate problem. Is this a secure site? Here is the site showing the ad.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Home. The ad reads "Windows 8 for $14.99.  I don't understand why I can't access the site. I just bought a new computer (not the one I'm using now) from Best Buy and it should benefit from this. Can someone explain?

  Peace,
