• 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 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 the computer starts a dialog box appears on the screen, the title of box - Windows Product Activation - it's authentic? (details below)

  The message says:-since first, windows has been activated on this computer, the computer hardware has changed a lot. Because of these changes, Windows must be reactivated within 3 days. You want to reactivate Windows now?

  That sounds like a real message, or would it be a virus?

  There are months that additional memory has been added on the hard drive.

  It looks like a real message and that activation glitch sometimes. Go ahead and turn on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• I get 2 back to back error messages when I turn on my computer?

  I get 2 back to back error messages when I turn on my computer, they are:

  (1) "Windows cannot find ' * 2 boxes * [I don't see what it is and only 2 boxes are visible]. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click on search"; Clicking OK comes the following error message
  (2) could load not run ' * 2 boxes * [I don't see what it is and only 2 boxes are visible] ' specified in the registry. Make sure that the file exists on your computer, or remove the reference to the file in the registry. "

  Browse for it on the internet I came across a software called HAKO Removal Tool. This website says that my computer has been infected by a Trojan of HAKO and that would fix it. I downloaded, scanned the computer with her and she found a problem with the 2 files.
  "Process.exe" and "HotKeysCmds".  BUT this is a paid software and I have to pay 50USD to use. Is there anything else possible?
  Although Kaspersky' 10 and Super AntiSpywayre don't seem to find anything wrong.

  What is the problem?

  If your computer has not already been infected by virus or malware, it is probably now after you have downloaded and installed something of a site that wants to pay you $50 to remove something you didn't know you had until told this same site.

  Do you mean that you have installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010?  Your subscription is up to date?

  Similarly, you would update SUPERAntiSpyware before running a scan of your computer?

  I'm not sure what you mean by '2 boxes.'  Do you mean that instead of characters for a file name, you see two empty squares?  In any case, download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx install it and let it scan.

  When Autoruns analysis is complete, click the 'connection '.  Review them entered what whether that looks like "bad."  I can't be more specific, because you could not see that the name of which has been commissioning.  By looking at the name of the entry, its description and its publisher, you should be able to easily identify most of the entries in the logon section.  If you can't, either post the details of back here or do a Google search.

  For any entry that does not appear to be legitimate, uncheck the box to the left of the entrance.  Close the Autoruns and restart the computer.  Messages should no longer appear.  Once you are convinced that you have disabled the correct entries, you can go back and use Autoruns to delete (instead of just deactivating).

  I also suggest you analyzing your system with other tools.
  Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

• My selected themes disappear when I turned off the computer, I have to add them when I turn the computer back on. I made sure that it is set to allow the modules.

  Just in the last week or so, this has happened. I had several themes to select from, all of them are listed is no longer in the list with the exception of the default theme of list drop-down appearance. Yesterday I made I'm fixed to allow add-ons. It was the same story this morning, the appearance was back to default and my themes had disappeared. If I stay connected to the internet my themes remain the same. I have no problem with the preview of themes they will not just stay put when I turn off my computer. This is the only problem I have encountered since I've been using Firefox.

  You will need to check the line user_pref ("lightweightThemes.usedThemes", < pref data >) to see is something changed in the data stores installed light themes and compare this line in the current prefs.js file with the corresponding line in the backup of the prefs.js.

• Switch 10 restarts when I turn off

  Hello, today my Switch 10 is a problem. When I turn the power off after about 20 seconds it restart again. Rather than be put off. I had disabled the windows quick start (from the first day, when I bought), and that if I activate the problem does not occur.

  But if I try to do a restart, the system takes about 20 seconds to restart (for twenty seconds, the screen stays black). Before a full recovery, I would like to know if anyone of you has the same problem.

  Thank you.

  When I bought the 10 switch, I can't disable the QuickStart (Windows only, no bios) because I had a few bugs in the phase of start-up mode Tablet (no keyboard).

  Everything is ok for two months. Yesterday, I had this problem, I also appeared on a blue screen when starting. So I restored it to factory settings, and finally, everything seems back to normal.

• Video playback when you turn the rocket...

  Hello

  Once I have updated the firmware on my rocket yesterday (I forgot all about the update until yesterday) I started watching some South on Park and when I turned off my rocket while playing the video I went out... Now, when I came back I turned on my rocket and it freezes on me and I have to hold the switch when it goes off... I wan't to know what is the problem. Any suggestions to fix this?

  BTW he never did until I updated the firmware

  I had the same problem...

  Since you have the new FW installed you will need to back up all your media and format the drive again using the FORMAT command in the menu of settings on the "rocket". BTW - you will have to reformat to reset the database so that it accepts the new limit of 8 000 song. After reformat everything should work normally. I hope this helps!

This is not the first time that's happened. Once after I was off all night, they came the next day, but not this time. Why this is happening, which makes the unreliable if the ipad, I had mail. Can anyone tell why this happens and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

  In most cases, this happens when a computer user is a desktop or laptop computer, say, an iPad. If the settings are not correct, you can 'lose' by email. It can occur if the ISP changes their settings, or if a user has incorrectly entered their settings.

  According to the information provided, you have only an iPad. In this case, I suggest you check the settings, especially at it elates to the ISP.
