Why should I validate my windows version every week?

I have Windows XP SP3, all updates. Microsoft Security Esentials will stop me once a week, refuse to search for the virus, including the real-time protection, until I re - validate my version of Windows. It seems to have started when I replaced the video card, 2 months ago. At the time, I thought that Windows was just check that I had not tried to put my version on another computer, but it is still ask each week for another validation.

Follow these instructions to em...

Thank you for your response. I understand the system can pass validation on the website, but Microsoft Security Essentials always displays this system as not authentic. I appreciate your time and your efforts on this issue.

    'Reboot '? Do you mean "reinstall Windows"?

    Do not confuse the two. To restart simply means to restart the computer - something that most people do every day, or more often.

    If you reinstalled Windows, you need to * turn * it. Also, not to be confused with registration activation; they are two different things. Activation is required; registration is completely optional.

    You do * not * have to buy anything. Simply reactivate. If you can't do on the internet, call the phone number provided to you. It will be quick and easy.

  • Why should I suddenly set the Version control settings?

    I've been using Dreamweaver for a long time.  I have several sites that are put in place, and all of a sudden I can connect is more to the remote host because he wants to define me the version of control parameters.  Why and what has changed?

    I think I remember what happens to me once.  In the browser 'file' make sure you watch the "Remote Site" and not "files from the repository.

    in CS4: to view remote files (if you have the file browser window open) click the icon located at the top left of the page, to the right of the Refresh"" button.

  • Why should I Windows 8 for the 30 minute increments in the parental control?

    As a developer of software using languages and platforms of Microsoft, I understand how planning works in an application. Why should I upgrade to Windows 8 to get the opportunity to restrict access timed to a PC safe family 30 minutes increments? This is no logic, except if it is half cooked to inform users to upgrade. This is a feature I've wanted since we began using the parental control and I can only assume the developers actually do not use the product, they have created because it really shouldn't been missed for this long. It should also be a simple change in the code to check every 30 minutes instead of 60. Maybe the team of parental controls overlap or had their budget reduced to the point that they cannot make such a simple plus change. I understand, I am in the software. I know it's less than constructive but it's annoying to know different. It's annoying to 'upgrade' to 2012 Essentials see virtually no difference in the features. Your users are not YOU!

  • Why should I rebuy windows?

    My mother has failed me, so I bought a new.

    I installed and added the drivers for the motherboard,

    now all I get from windows is to activate your product now... blah blah blah.

    now for some reason any windows vista won't accept the key.

    It was a key internal, which is stored on the hard drive, its an acer product.

    the hard drive has not changed so why should I buy a new product key?

    If your new motherboard came as a replacement for Acer warranty, then they need to help you fix the problem of activation.
     
    If you bought the motherboard yourself out of warranty Acer, then, you are responsible for your operating system (OS).
     
    If the operating system is installed on the computer, you may be able to use the key on the back of the computer (25 characters in 5 sets of 5) case to activate the product but you have to use telephone activation.  If this does not work, you will need to purchase a full retail version of an OS that works on your new computer as products OEM are linked to the original motherboard which has been installed by the manufacturer and cannot be changed with a like type motherboard.

  • Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

    Why should I Resize Windows Media Player, whenever I open it?

    First of all, I apologize because clearly, nobody else here knows what you're feeling :)

    The problem is in fact a function: If you open a file (such as a video) directly, WMP opens directly to the ' Now Playing ' screen to display the video (the video can not be displayed in library mode where it lists all the files).  It is locked, you cannot change this behavior (because I'm sure you would agree, everyone would complain if they could not see a video playing every time they played, of course!)

    But what you can do, there's WMP to always be the size you want!

    (1) play a video in WMP.
    (2) while the video plays, click anywhere in the video and uncheck the option 'Fit Player to video'.

    WMP will attempt is no longer to adjust its size whenever a video is played.

  • Why I have a new 'Java' update every day and I should let it install

    Why I have a new 'Java' update every day and I should let it install?

    This isn't really a problem of Microsoft.  Java is Sun Microsystems.  You must have installed on your PC Java runtime environment.  You can disable Java updates in the Panel with the Java applet.  You should not see a daily update, but the updates to Java to get out with some regularity.  In general, Sun Releases Java update when the vulnerabiliites discovered oi the JRE.
