Windows has asked for the same activation when I did

So, I bought a Dell computer with Windows 7. Recently, I tried to install Windows XP Mode, and they keep telling me to install Microsoft Genuine. I install but the site won't let me download Windows XP Mode. They said he failed and redirect me to to buy genuine Microsoft Software Web site. I did not, but on the page, they show a few ways to activate Windows. I followed it by clicking 'activate' in the start menu > search. There is activate Windows so I click on it. Because they required the product key I just close the window. But after the restart, screen blackout curtains and the activation window appear saying activation has expired. After clicking on cancel, I check in my computer > properties and see that Windows is activated with the product ID.  I don't want to turn on the computer every time to see a window and cancel it. Also, I don't know where is the product key on my computer (it's a Dell Precision 390 upgrade of Windows XP). Those who know how to solve this problem?

I suggest you try to get a satisfaction of the seller. (threats to involve the application of the law for fraud can help)

the retail price for a full version of ultimate is about $319,00
the only other choice is to buy a genuine windows. family premium is $199 price but I see that some legitimate retailers are discounting about $170,00
You can try to get a your manufacturer OEM xp recovery disk if they have yet.

  • Need of Professinal Windows 7 settings for the same for factory Installation in order to capture movies with Sony to play memories

    My computer does not Windows 7 installed at the factory.   Our it guy had to customize my computer because I am the network administrator.  He installed Windows 7 Professional instead to be installed at the factory.  Sony support said that PlayMemories works for the factory installed Windows 7.  If you perform a reinstall of Windows 7 Professional, you put in the factory settings or should I always the same questions?  I try to capture movies from a camcorder that records on the front Mini DV camcorder breaks.  Sony advises download PlayMemories and use it to capture the film out of the camera.  But he acknowledges that the pilots of a factory-installed Windows 7 program.

  • New HDD installed - Windows constantly asking for the product key

    HARD drive broke down, so I got a new HARD drive installed in the workshop for repairs a few months ago. Everything was fine until recently when Windows keeps always ask the product key to activate Windows. It is said that the license expires Dec. 27.
    Do you know where to find this key?

    If your laptop has Windows 8 or higher, Microsoft codes the license on the hard drive rather than put a sticker on the base. Sounds like the repair people could have used a dubious copy to reinstall it on the new hard drive. Microsoft may allow you to report it as pirate software, but I'm not sure they'll give you a free copy. The other alternative is to contact ToshIba to buy a complete set of recovery disks, or take it back to the shop.

  • Some programs using windows 10 ask for flash has to be installed, but it is already!

    10% of my programs (e.g. Pandora) ask for the Flash needs to be installed, but the last Flash is already installed. These programs run on Chrome. Technical support for these programs say just move to Chrome. Any ideas?

    It's crazy, but there are separate installers for Flash for Firefox and IE, Chrome, he joined and Edge might as well.

    To see if Firefox has detected a plugin compatible Flash on the system, you can check on the page modules, either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right-hand side, scroll down to the gray at the bottom area and are looking for "Shockwave Flash". You can change it always be 'activate' to 'ask to activate?

    If he is too old to activate, or completely absent, you can get the latest version on this page:

    https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    In the first table, find the row corresponding to "browser plugin", and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.

    Or if you want to check first on the disc, it must be found here on the 64-bit versions of Windows for 32-bit applications like Firefox:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash => NPSWF32_19_0_0_185.dll
    

    Can you get enabled and running?
