• Just said that my windows 7 in not much authentic after using it for two years. It came with the laptop then why I said this is not true.

  I got a message saying my windows would be disabled within 30 days I seem to have a copy of Tin. Not possible that I bought my laptop with windows 7 already installed. I really don't know what to do as the activation code is almost worn out. Why after two years this happened? Please can someone help me? Thank you. Kathy.

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

  Once downloaded, run the tool.

  Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.

  Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message. (please do not change the report.)

  Please indicate the version and edition of windows from your COA. do not specify the product key from the COA.

  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) COST SLP: 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)

• back to vista from a non-genuine copy of windows 7

  I let someone borrow my desktop computer for a month and they have installed a non-genuine copy of 7 on it and I want to know if there is an easy way to get back to my real vista without the disc. I never had the drive with my computer, it came pre-installed with windows vista on it. I want to just return.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• My Dell V313w stopped printing/scanning mode wireless or with a direct USB connection after working flawlessly for 2 years

  My Dell V313w stopped printing/scanning mode wireless or with a direct USB connection after working flawlessly for 2 years - any changes made on the network wireless to our knowledge.  Printer works fine in USB mode on old Windows 2000 office.  Network sees the devive asked to detect devices.  Wireless to the printer hardware is perhaps not handshaking...?  Please let know us that he is a very curious pnnc.

  Windows 7 is updated as well as the print driver.  Thank you.

  Hello abir.

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with your concern for Windows.

  From your post, it seems that you cannot print from Windows 7-based computer.

  When you say "no changes made on the network wireless to our knowledge", which is the type of network you're talking about? (Workgroup, domain)

  It is a difficult problem to diagnose because there are many printers on the market and many reasons why it could not work.

  We will try the steps from the following link and check if this solves the problem.
