Windows XP HD Swap needs reactivation
Hi, I recently traded in a master hard drive with XP installed from one computer to another. Windows seems to load very well until the login on which screen it asks activation because of differences in hardware. I can't log in to access my internet on the computer and there is no phone support. How can I activate it?
Main boot disc Windows XP contain the codes of the product activation system. XP needs to find the components of the motherboard that existed at the present time THAT XP has been installed. Pass the master XP drive to another PC now there a different motherboard to 'see' and the product activation code no longer matches. Then, it considers that this is another PC and product activation fails. To remedy this you will need to re - install XP so that it resets the "product activation" system and reset the code in order to get the new activation. This is normal!

Is tha legitimate alert account I got Windows Live yesterday? Needs of personal information within 48 hours or Hotmail account will be cancelled "to eliminate congestion."
Carol,
The e-mail you received is fake, they fish for all of your personal information. Do not respond or provide information. I received emails like this all the time and just delete them. The only way that your hotmail account will be deleted would be idle for several weeks or months that I know. If there is no link associated with the e-mail address please not click on any as an attack of malware, which may encourage.
I hope this helps.

I've upgraded windows vista to windows 7, now I need to reinstall it.
Original title: Vista to 7.
I've upgraded windows vista to windows 7, now I need to reinstlall and can not find my disk is there a way to do it without a disk
Hello
Reinstall the operating system?
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
This method will probably not available because you have installed Windows 7
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
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.

Windows comes with a cleverly named Windows Firewall Firewall and AVG has its own firewall, I'm pretty sure. If you are fine as is.

Is my Windows my product key license? Also, if I want to download the iso of Windows 7 yes I need to buy a license/product key of Windows 7? Or my Windows 10 will work?
Your license is the product key.
You don't need to buy a license if you already have a product key.
Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?
Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:
How to: perform a customized Windows installation
Step 3:
You can also use your Windows 7 product key to install and activate Windows 10:

Windows Live Movie Maker needs to close unexpectedly. error: 0xC9460025
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
Sorry, Windows Live Movie Maker needs to close unexpectedly. Please restart Windows Live Movie Maker, and then try again (error: 0xC9460025).
I get this when I open my saved file, I am changing. It allows to work properly since I installed Windows Live (about 2 months ago). 2 months ago, I bought my laptop. given that Win7 is not a Director as I have on my xp & vista I download this. Gee, this is a version darn downgrade. I've thought since win7 is new version I get a better version of WMM. But no! I'm used to movie maker xp and vista, light and easy to use, but are looking for more that's why I bought win7. Very disappointing! In any case I have not started to use itso until now no problems with my previous published videos. So today, I am in my final cut when WLMM stop working. It crashes and do not continue reading of the saved file. I tried to uninstall the windows live, but it will not be a badge. Cannot be deleted. I tried to fix it by reinstalling hoping it will work but still the same. I also tried to do system restore where I think it works well, but still does not work properly. A suggestion or a solution to fix this problem would be appreciated.
Please reply as soon as POSSIBLE. I would like to know how to solve this problem or at least how to get rid of windows live. I'll just use another video montage.

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
The material should not be a problem, I usually run Movie Maker on my desk with similar specifications, but I also run it on a laptop of much lower quality. When Movie Maker freezes, just after the opening, after having tried to add a video file, after a specific action?
If it crashes right after the opening, then it is possible that it is corrupt. You can uninstall, reboot, download a new copy and reinstall, which could take care of this.
If it freezes after trying to add a video file so the video codecs might be damaged or missing. You can try to install a new audio/video codecs for any type of file you are working with. I heard good things about pack k - lite codec:
http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
You can also try watching the video filters activated in Movie Maker. Go to tools-> options-> tab compatibility. Then try checking and unchecking each filter, I had a problem with them at some point, but I don't remember which.
