  • product code and product key are not the same...

    i solve this application system 32 product code #. the only thing I found on the bottom of the laptop near that long is the product key and it is not long enough.  where can I find the "product code"?

    What is the 'solve this system"and where did you find (link, please)?

    What is the exact wording of the message you are trying to answer to?

    The term "product code" is often loosely used to mean several different things, so the context and the wording of the exact message are important.

    For your information...

    Usually, the number on the holographic label on the bottom of your laptop is the license key Windows of 25 characters (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx).  Do NOT publish this type of key in this forum or anywhere else online.

    Sometimes you will see a reference to a "product ID" or product code.  It is usually a number of 20 characters according to this format: xxxxx-yyy-zzzzzzz-zzzzz.  This identifies the version of Windows.  On a computer 'brand', the second group of characters is OEM, as in 55274-OEM-zzzzzzz-zzzzzzz.  In this example, the 55274 refers to a generic version of XP Pro OEM.

    Microsoft Office programs use a product code of 32 characters or a Globally Unique ID (GUID) such as
    {WXYYZZZZ-6000-11 D 9 3-8CFE-0050048383C}.

    I bought my HP laptop about 2 years ago and has not completed all the software downloads. I cannot use my app windows 7 because I do not have the product code. How can I get the product code?

    If Windows 7 is shipped with your laptop... The KEY export is probably on a sticker on the machine.

    If I were you - I would contact HP - they will probably provide you with the appropriate media (maybe free, probably at a low cost you) for your specific system.

  • ENVY of HP dv7: Windows 8 product Code

    I was trying to install the upgrade of Microsoft Windows 10 and he keeps asking Product Code Windows 8 (key). I bought the new laptop two years but I don't know that I got a product key for the Windows operating system. I also looked in the documentation and on the unity of a label containing the number with no luck.

    No idea where it is and how I can get it to complete 10 Windows updated?

    It's actually part of the BIOS and there is no key printed on the machine, or in the package Code. However, programs such as Belarc:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=1kJJRqG2vj8

    Can extract the Code and post it on you. I will say that I did a few upgrades from 8.1 to 10 and do not need the Code key Windows 8. Try to use the tool of creation of media Windows 10:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/media-creation-tool-install

    As long as you are upgraded to an activated installation of Windows 7 or more it should work. Had you improved 8 to 8.1 or the computer come with 8.1?

  • IM using XP and it keeps running a shutdown of the system initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM w/status code 1073741482 & system process ' C:WINDOWS\system32\services.exe. How can I stop the closure?

    I get the following message: closing system, the system stops. Please save all work in progress and log off. All wukk unsaved changes are lost. This shutdown was initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM. The system process ' C: Windows\system 32\services.exe ended unexpectedly with status 1073741482 code. The system will now stop diwn and restart.

    I tried the boot, and all the days that something did not work if today I'm the switch back to the normal startup. I tried to run a scan, but it does not have the "clean boot" State... it would also not automatic updates... so here Let's go!

    I had the same problem, tried the clean boot, like Wells, and it has not fixed the problem.  Please try this:
    There are several steps to follow.
    The first is a suggestion from one of the blogs with a slight variation.

    First step:
    Enter safe mode.  (Put in the computer market, press F8 several times until the window offering the Safe Mode option appears.  Use your top and arrows to select Safe mode, and then click it.)

    Since the Office Safe Mode:
    1. right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties': my computer-> properties. This opens the "System Properties" dialog box

    2. Select the "Advanced" tab

    3. under "Startup and recovery", click on the button "settings".

    4. at the bottom, in the section "System failure", see what boxes are checked. Windows XP checks them all by default.

    5. click on "Automactically restart." This is probably your cause if you get automactic closures. As an alternative to optimise this method, you can, at your own discretion, also do the following:

    i. uncheck "write an event to the system log.
    II. check 'Send an administrative alert' (which should do more to view the sudden error rather than stop).
    III. uncheck "Automactically restart."
    IV. in the combo box of the section 'Write debugging information', choose '(none) '. Note that this will disable the rest under "information write Debuggin".

    6. your finished, then click 'Ok' to close the dialog of void and then 'Ok' again in the "System Properties" dialog box

    That should do it. Some upgrade suggestions are the best propally but I think these security only handle issues related to other areas if they worth downloads of 2 to 5 hours of 56 k modem for added security. However, I find that some updates are not even for my type of installation (due to unused configuration detection?) or I do not use the services.

    For more information on Tweaking, I suggest to look at "http://www.tweakxp.com" If you are a user of Windows XP.

    Good luck.

    Step 2:
    Also in safe mode
    .

    Some of these steps have been found on the microsoft Web site.  However, the following text is a little different and should translate into success.  It did for me.
    1) enter the Configuration of the utility system.  You can do this by done safe mode right click on Start, by choosing Search, then typing in msconfig and searching the c: drive.  Once the search is complete, click on one of the icons of msconfig.  This will bring up The System Configuration utility.
    (2) click on the tab general select Selective startup.
    (3) click to uncheck the Process SYSTEM. INI file.
    (4) click to uncheck the process to WIN. INI file.
    (5) click to disable Load Startup items.  Make sure that The Load System Services and use Original of INITIALIZATION. INI are checked.
    6) click on the Services tab.
    (7) click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box.
    8) click disable all, and then click OK.
    (9) computer.

    Step 3: log in to Windows.

    (1) when you receive the following message is displayed, click Select, check box don't show this message or launch the system to Windows Startup Configuration utility , and then click ok.

    If this solves the problem, go to step 4.  If it is not the case, then you will need support from a professional.

    Step 4: find the culprit.

    1) enter in the System Configuration utility (SCU for future reference.)
    2) click on the Startup tab.  (NOTE: If you find "audm" within the list of starting points, it is most likely the culprit.) It was for me. If it is, go to If not, go to 3).
    (3) the top of the list in the start menu, check AN item, then restart the computer. Make a note of each element that starts without failure.
    Repeat this step until you get the window to "Shut down NT Authority... ».  This will reveal that the start point is the origin of the problem.  Once found, go to 4).
    (4) get in safe mode / SCU / Startup / untick the culprit.
    (5) restart Windows.  If this solves the problem, you are almost finished.  If this isn't the case, you will need the services of a professional.

    Step 5: remove the culprit and the reactivation of the process.
    1) go to Start / Search / and look for the item that caused the problem.  (When I did a search for audm - 2 released files.)
    (2) delete all files with the name of the offender and empty your trash.
    3) enter the Configuration of the system - (start/run/msconfig).
    (4) on the general tab, re-enable the Process SYSTEM.ini, WIN.ini processand Load Startup items.
    (5) restart the computer.   The problem should be solved.
     
    Basic suggestions:
    (1) ALWAYS keep a firewall- and choose the option "Open at Startup.  (That's how I think that was my problem - by not having is not the Firewall opens at the beginning).
    (2) perform a virus Scan is every DAY.
    (3) keep all windows programs and drivers updated - every DAY.
    (4) keep all antivirus programs and firewalls updated - every DAY.

    Good luck

  • Product code for Toshiba for Windows Vista, or a re - install

    I have a PC laptop Toshiba L305-S5955.  Somehow, I uninstalled my Windows Vista (32 bit) and in moving from miss place my drive.

    Can someone tell me how to recover or get product code?
    Thank you, Beverley

    Hello

    It is rare you rec had a drive to purchase.

    Toshiba uses a recovery Partition to reinstall Vista from.

    You press 0 (zero) on startup with a Toshiba to start the recovery process back to the factory settings (how you bought).

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hello

    If Vista is preinstalled contact the Manufacter computer and ask them to send recovery discs; what they should do for a small fee.

    And ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    If you have not deleted this partition (you tell how wipe you the hard drive!) you press F10 or F11, etc at startup to start the process of relocation.

    Ask the manufacturer for their combination of button to do this, if it is always an option for you.
