Windows 8 Pro will not activate after recovery

• Freshly reinstalled Windows 7 Pro will not activate

  I have a Dell Optiplex 780, which has a Windows 7 Pro OEM sticker on it.  For some reason the previous TECHNOLOGY provider decided to install Windows XP on this machine and I am trying to fix this error.

  Unfortunately, while the installation program gladly accepts the key of the sticker, activation failed.  Œuvres of activation, phone, or internet.

  I tried to use the Dell SLP key as well, obviously no chance.

  Dell offers more OEM media for this machine as far as I can find, and I don't want the OEM media still because it is full of additional bloatware, that no sane person would want.

  How can I install the OS that computer was purchased with the help of the legitimate license attached to the machine key?

  I've never had problems with this in the past, other OEM machines worked fine with the same installation media using the keys of their COST.  The phone activation is usually required, but worked at the difference this time.

  When you attempt to activate phone talk to a tech representative, if not try the phone activation once again as follows:

• Windows 7 Pro will not restart if printer on.

  Hello

  When you click Restart, Windows 7 Pro will not reboot with a printer hp (L7680 or C309a) turned on.  The screen remains right on "Starting Windows".  Windows continues to load after that whatever printer is turned on.

  This problem just started.  Never happened before.  I could always click on restart without problem before.

  Any help?

  Hey joe_do,

  I see that you have a problem with the sequence of starting your Windows 7 Pro computer when one of your 2 HP printers are turned on.  How are these 2 printers connected to this PC?

  Looks like that devices can be connected to USB and somehow the computer boot sequence put the emphasis for USB on the internal HARD disk.

• Pavilion dv6: Intel Centrino Wireless - n 2230 will not activate after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Model A3E82AV number

  I've been avoiding Windows 10 because I knew something like this was going to happen, but I took the pludge.  Anyway, everything seemed to work but my wireless adapter.  After the upgrade, the rocker on the keyboard turns on and outside airplane mode, and I can't switch to map wireless in Windows settings.
  
  I can get wireless adapter to turn on, go into that in a minute, but if I shutdown or reboot, the problem returns.
  
  I had success in the driver update, or by manually installing the driver, I even read a tip to make the battery, hold the power button down while the battery is out and run it upwards.  I tried to reset the BIOs to default settings.  When the computer feels like it, the wireless adapter will start working after a reboot.  If I have the toggle switch, the light goes from orange to white, I can then activate wireless and connect to my SSID.  If I stop or restart, my wireless NETWORK card no longer works and we return to the toggle keyboard turning power on and off airplane mode.  Device Manager says it is working normally and the drivers are up to date.

  I read a post from microsoft that says VPN adapters could cause corruption while making the upgrade.  I'm a professional, so I got a handful of cards, but also virtual cards VMWare Workstation installed, so I tried to come back to Win 7, remove the adapters, are re-upgrade.  It does not solve the issue.  While I was back in Windows 7, everything worked most of the time, but there were some problems with the programs, etc. which would not work right.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, some of these problems persist, so I checked my backups to make sure they were up to date and did a new install of windows 10.  I am now running a new image with just firefox, associate of HP and the different drivers Intel, I tried to install, and I still can't get the card wireless to tour consistantly on / off power after a reboot.  I thought for sure the nuclear option could solve the problem now I can't even go back to Windows 7.  I did mention to try some recommended drivers Intel, I found in other posts... I also tried to uninstall the driver, and install in compatibility mode, but that has not worked, either.
  
  This one had me scratching my head.  I tried literally everything I can find on the internet in an attempt to solve the problem, and nothing will keep the work of consistantly wireless NETWORK card.  Any other ideas out there?
  
  Looking at the forums, appears not to have a lot of people in all areas of this issue with different brands of computers and network interface cards.  If anyone knows anything else to try, I would really appreciate it.

  FIXED!

  I think so.  I downloaded and installed the bios for Windows 8.  After that, I managed shutdown and booted my laptop 3 times and restarted once.  Every time you start after the installation of the firmware BIOs, the card automatically turned on and connected to my SSID NETWORK.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I saw not the laptop automatically start and connect the wireless NETWORK card and he did successfully 4 times now.
  
  The file that I downloaded from the HP Web site was update the BIOs for Windows 8 version F.2D rev A.  The file name is sp68425.  I will continue to monitor and make sure that it was indeed the fix, but all great so far.

  For people who can run on the same topic, here's a recap of what I did to solve my problem:

  Centrino 2230 installed 15.18.0.1 driver
  Update driver Bluetooth 10.0.10586.0

  Updated the BIOS to the version of Windows 8 F.2D Rev A
  
  If you decide to play with the BIOs firmware, just be aware that if things go well, you could cause more damage to your system.  I would only try this method if you are uncomfortable for the recovery of a faulty BIOS installation.

• Windows XP Pro do not validate after the removal of the hard drive

  In an older machine, I have a copy of Windows XP Pro, it is validated and worked perfectly fine, until I removed a dying hard drive of the machine, then it is suddenly telling me that the OS is not genuine. I can't get to turn on again in a way that I can think of, and I don't see anything immediately above that might interfere with the activation. I would really not like to re - install the operating system, anyway I can activate it again without doing so would be greatly appreciated.

• Computer will not activate after installing XP SP2 repair

  I see a lot of people have posted on this subject, and some have set.  I did a repair of an old computer installation.  At the start, it says I need to activate my copy of XP.  It just hangs.

  I can boot into safe mode (but not with networking).  I followed the 312295 article, which had me do the following

  1 regedit-localmachine-software... - winnt - winlogon - notify delete RESETS (there was none this entry, so I didn't do anything)

  2... regedit wpaevents OOBETimer 'Edit' (don't know what you mean about a hex file editing, so I just delete a line)

  3 renamed WPA.dbl

  4 extended wpa.db_ from wpa.dbl installation disc (ran OK)

  5 looking for any reset5.* or srvany.exe (no current)

  6 restart the computer.

  The same problem.   Still will not start.  Any other ideas?

  Some recommend to replace IE 8.  I'm certainly willing to do that - except my installation disc is a version of SP2.   So, how can I get a version of SP3 to install in safe mode?   (I download from another computer, but I don't know which version to get).

  Why I installed? There was no failure, but because after 8 years of use the computer was bogged down so he could barely work.

  But if this was justified is besides the point, because it is already done.

  I installed SP3.  I Redid the things listed above.

  I still get the message saying to activate windows and it crashes whenever I try.

  So I took the advice of others, installed IE8 in safe mode.  Upon restart, it worked!  (An arisen window asking me to activate, I said yes and it worked.

  This window looked like IE8 material - probably at the heart of the problem.

  Problem solved.
