  Windows XP Activation loop.

  When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated. All I can do is, click 'OK' and he takes me into a log on screen with my name on it and goes through the same process, as described at the beginning of this statement. I'm in a loop. The only way out is to wipe my hard drive and reload windows new who, within 30 days, it will do no doubt once again. How to do this?

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Windows 7 is activated but randomly has "...". copy of windows is not genuine

  Win 7 oem purchased 2 years ago from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is to install the new homebrew system.  Yesterday, I saw the «...» "Build 7600 this copy not genuine."  After the installation of sp1, it changed to build 7601.  The message comes and goes, but I'm worried about why she does first place and if there will be problems in the future.    How can we not real if it has been activated, actually several activations since I don't mess with my system.  All the components in my system are the same as when I first installed 7 except for the HDD in SATA instead of PATA.  I have a newly installed VMware player and that you have disabled recently several services.  Shows/properties of the windows computer is activated and the product id.  Since these "opinions" I uninstalled it thinking sp1 would have a prob but no luck.  'cures' will be appreciated.  Thanx

  I got this a few times.  It is caused by not only not your PC connected to the Internet when Windows 7 is 'automatically' audit of the validation at boot time.  Somehow, your Internet access came well after the validation process.

• This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue

  Hi guys

  After P2V Windows 2003 Storage Server 2003 x 64

  I get this message "this copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue."

  and I am not able to connect to the server and I can not activate because the NETWORK card won't work - since without vmware tools.

  no idea why this is happening?

  VMware converter 5

  Thank you very much

  This can happen due to the material Exchange when you P2V. Is there not an option to activate by phone? If this is not the case, take a look at the virtual machine settings to see if the NETWORK card is 'E1000' which should be recognized by Windows 2003 out of the box.

• Sometimes by selecting an existing tab will lead to open in a new window. Why?

  Firefox browser runs and have a Yahoo homepage and another tab in this window with Yahoo mail. Sometimes have other tabs open in the same window as well. Sometimes, when you move (switching) from one tab to the other tab that I pass will open in a new window itself, rather than stay in the original window. Why does this happen? Please look at the problem.

  Make sure that you do not drag a tab slightly downwards in the browser window by clicking.
  The current versions of Firefox have a feature called tabs.
  You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
  You can also do this via the context menu of a tab: switch to the new window
  You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

• I do not understand this statement "It is a good idea to keep track that uses a bunch of Audio channels selected in the arrange window, unless you actively play or record on a software Instrument."

  It's a good idea to keep track that uses a bunch of Audio channels selected in the arrange window, unless you actively play or record on a software Instrument.

  Which no longer applies in Logic Pro X 10.2.3. In old versions of logic, selecting a range with a software instrument automatically would make this instrument in "Live" mode, which means that the instrument has begun to transform any MIDI in sound with a minimum of delay. This direct mode becomes an instrument need CPU power (on a single processor) and peut overload the audio engine. It is a waste of CPU if there is no direct game. Then select an audio track would ensure that No instrument is in direct mode. Now (LPX 10.2.2 or more) in direct mode can be turned on or off on a track, chosen or not - it is the R button on the track header.

• I've just upgraded to the latest version and find I can no longer highlight and copy the addresses of the browser window. Why not?

  I tried to find a solution to this problem so long I forgot what triggered it. Anyway, I'm used to being able to cut and paste from the window of the active tab, and now I can't. It is very annoying (if this is probably not the kind of information you need). It's as if, once an address in the browser, it is locked and cannot be manipulated in some way. This can be corrected?
