• I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

  The President complied,

  I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

  Hello ElumBuneri,

  As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

  See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Windows 8 Pro key does not work after changing HARD drive

  I had bought a Lenovo machine without installation of the OS and installed a Windows 8 Pro (and not an upgrade).

  After activation ( laptop settings-> activate Windows ) and control, the copy of Windows has been properly activated.

  The machine worked fine for 7 months before the hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. (Without recovery).

  On installation the same Windows 8 Pro on the new HARD drive again, it shows " this key did not work." "If please check and try again or try a different key"

  Please suggest a solution to this problem.

  If my copy of Windows would have been an upgrade version, it would not have worked the first time.

  Have you bought a copy of manufacturer of OEM of Windows 8 Pro system? Because there was no full version boxes retail copies of Windows 8 Pro. The following work around to try to see if it works with your copy and then try the phone activation;

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit does not start after updates

  Hello

  I recently installed Windows 7 ultimate on a PC under Vista Basic.  I have done this as a clean install, wipe the existing partitions and create a new one for the installation.

  Everything was going well for two days until this morning when I turned on the P.C. I get the screen of the bios of the system and can see my SATA drive in the Bios and the size is properly reported. However, after the bios when the computer tries to start Windows, I get a blank screen and the hard drive remains slight activity at all times.

  I took the drive into the pc and put it in another pc via an external hard drive box and I can see the data and files in the disk.

  I put the disc in the original and booted PC from my DVD of windows 7 I tried to run the bootrec tool but the tool said that he had no windows partition!

  Now I had to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch even once - I do not have a hardware or software yesterday and I shut down the system properly (the Office was left connected to a UPS because it is at work, so no power problem on shutdown).

  The only thing I can think of happens out of the ordinary yesterday was a load of Windows, updates requiring a reboot in the morning, but the machine was fine after that.  I have actually a lot on the machine yesterday like I did has been implemented of a laptop for a demo of systems almost all day.

  Everyone has met nothing like yesterday? Or have any idea of what past?  I don't want to have to rebuild my PC whenever there are updates!

  I had a similar problem yesterday with 12 October 2010 MS update on a laptop running Win 7 Professional. PC worked perfectly in the morning, I downloaded the update to 32 MB and the installation process seems to be okay, but I couldn't get past the Windows 7 login screen after booting. Kept, get a blank screen. Even tried to start safe mode, but got the same answer. Later, I used the F8 key at startup and selected the last restore point that was created a week ago. It helped me in my PC. I removed the automatic download more MS Updates. One of the 12 had about 10 patches in it and really messed up my PC. Good luck. /

• Brand new Windows XP Professional SP3 key does not

  I fell right on my old CD-ROM Windows XP Professional SP1 and my new key SP3. I installed XP on my old Compaq ProSignia 165 to make it work again, and when it prompted me to insert the key, I tried my SP3 key. It didn't work as I thought, so I used the key out of my Dell OptiPlex 170 L to install because I still use it a lot. Then I threw SP3 on it and downloaded the Microsoft program change key and tried. It does not accept it, nor any of my other XP Pro key. Everything except my netbook works Pro, so what is happening here? I have to do in the registry or what? I'm starting to get fact TIC TACS in this thing, because it does not appear WHAT I put on it. Please help me, because I'm starting to lose here.

  As all associated drivers, USB devices the same facilities also have it. Sometimes proper drivers are not detected after initial installation for the reinstallation of the drivers solves the problems.

  You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

  (b) click system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

  (c) Note if the control panel is in Classic view, double-click Systemand then click on Device Manager.

  Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.

  (f) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

  Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  If the edge of the issue persists, I'll ask allows you to check the chipset driver updates, you can get on the site of the manufacturer. The chipset drivers normally integrate USB controller drivers as well.

  I hope this helps.

  I posted a similar question before, but this time I thought to myslelf as its almost a term to free victory 10 updates so I decided to reinstall the operating system Windows 7 64 ultimate x.

  I installed the drivers, the activation key, and I started WU,

• Reinstall Windows 7 Home Prem key does not

  I had somebody asked me to reinstall their laptop (A Toshiba with W7HP) I used Magic Jelly Bean to obtain the product key, because the COA on the bottom of the laptop was unreadable, it had been rubbed so much you can only see things X 15-#.

  Now, I did a reinstall with Microsoft's OEM disc. Trying to activate, I get "Windows 7 Home Premium product key you typed is invaild for activation"

  I copied and pasted so I know that I didn't type.

  What are my choices? Do I have to buy a new product key?

  You use the OEM SLP key which can not be activated. The only way that works an OEM SLP key is with the recovery partition or a Toshiba recovery media. (it itself active) You will need to use the key from the COA or install it from the recovery media.

  See the response from André for more information.
  Additional information:
  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

• Windows 8 pro activate windows, the product key does not

  Windows 8 pro installed on a new hard drive very well. now the pc settings come to activate windows and my product key does not work. any further suggestions?

  You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)

  If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

  If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.
