Windows XP is suddenly a pirated version

Hello

My DELL computer that I bought it has long provided with Windows XP.

Since a few days, I get a warning that my Windows XP is maybe a pirated version.

What can I do to fix this situation?

Thank you

Could be a virus.

Start by downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it will detect and remove most of the viruses.

There are also Norton Power Eraser

Note: Because the Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect these threats,
There is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal.
You should use this tool very carefully, and only after you have exhausted other options.

  • Windows Vista updates suddenly stopped working and the message appears to me to be the victim of pirated software - error: 0x80070426

    Message came that said my copy of Vista can be victim of piracy and go online to validate that, I did it because I have been using this OS for more than 3 years on a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit p2000 series. a few hours later my computer said it needed to restart and once it restarted it has a black screen with a message that he was trying to repair. It could not be repaired so he asked if ok to go to a restore point and clicked on Yes. I get the message that my copy is not genuine and my computer wants to restart once again, but I'm the delay of four hours. I did the command line to try to restart the service and access has been denied. 0x80070426. I found an ad on the forum and tried the steps there, but he failed. Mistake was 54. http://social.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/genuinevista/thread/de089d6e-63b4-4D6E-b955-30bb8e9525d3. I had to contact support and have been waiting for more than 24 hours for assistance. My Control Panel opens and goes away, but I could remove tweetdeck which is among the most recent installations of software I did before this all happened. I am also running xampp on my desktop and I tried to put in place a virtual host by using a different port - could not get that to work and changed the host to the original file.

    Hello Ebflute,

    I suggest that you perform a repair installation.

    Repair facility:

    You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this still does not resolve all problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) (if this is not successful.)

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    Please make sure that you back up all the important data before you continue. Please visit: methods for your backup files.

    Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

    2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

    3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

    4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

    5. on the page Please read the terms of the license , if you accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the license.

    6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

    7 follow the instructions.

    Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

    Note: Tit the following settings is reset by default:

    Its computer system

    Device drivers

    Visual effects

    Windows Mail

    Windows services

    If you notice missing files after the upgrade, look in the following folders:

    C:\Windows.old

    C:\$INPLACE.~TR

    C:\$WINDOWS.~Q

    These files can be eliminated with disk cleanup as "records destroyed by upgrade to Windows".

    Delete files using disk cleanup

  • Can I use the Windows Media player this Adobe pirate intead? How, please? E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    Adobe Flash Player prevents me to display videos because I don't want to share my personal computer storage.

    Wholesale! constitutional question here! Can I use the Windows Media player this Adobe pirate intead? How, please? Or any other way to overcome this in-your-face PEST hijacker - Adobe Flash? * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

    Hello

    Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

    Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

    You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

    The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

    Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

    There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

    I hope this helps.

  • Can I install Windows XP from an ISO pirate legally if I have another computer with a product key?

    Hello. I have a moment Dell Optiplex SX280 provided with Windows XP Professional (and product key) does not. I also have a broken (probably irreparably) Dell dimension 8400 supplied with Windows XP Edition family (with a key). Because I have these keys, it would be legal to install Windows XP (a pirated version) on my laptop Compaq Presario CQ42 that at first run Windows 7? I would appreciate a response.

    Thank you.

    (Attention that I am not a supporter of piracy)

    The answer is no.

  • I was told I have a virus on my computer and need to install windows. I discovered that the version installed on my computer is "hacked".

    I do not have my records (which were for Windows 2000) more to reinstall.  The version of Windows XP was installed by a technician that I hired (a student who has moved on somewhere)

    Then you will need to speak with the technician who installed Win XP on your OS about your "pirated" version

    Where are your original discs?  You can reinstall an authentic version of Win XP using them.

    Your message is in the forum of the people who use the antimalware MSE program.

    You might find a better solution than my suggestion if you publish in or Windows XP http://answers.microsoft.com/en-usto search forum.

    Good luck...

    Can anyone help. I use Windows 7 and Microsoft 2010 (trial version).

    Hi DonDonaldo,

    1. what windows update did you install?

    2. When was the last time you were able to install updates?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Windows Update error80070643 can happen for several reasons. The most common cause is a problem with the .NET Framework is installed on the computer. You can also encounter this error when installing updates for Microsoft Office 2003.

    If you were installing Microsoft Office 2003 updates when you received the error, follow the instructions in the "Microsoft Office 2003" section below. Otherwise, follow the instructions in the section "Windows.NET Framework".

    3. open Windows Update by clickingStart , all programsand then clickWindows Update.

    4. in the left pane, clickcheck for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

    5. If updates are found, clickinstall updates. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    If the previous steps do not solve the problem, you can reinstall .NET Framework manually, but the steps are intended for advanced users. If you are not comfortable performing these steps, ask a friend to help you. You will find the steps in the article toreinstall .NET Framework on the Microsoft Web site.

     

    Microsoft Office 2003

    "It is not a true crash, in the sense that the blue screen was launched only because the combination of material and video driver video was to be insensitive and not because of any exception processing synchronous".

    Since Vista, the components of "Timeout detection and recovery" (TDR) of the subsystem video OS have been able to do some really impressive things to try to find issues that would have led to the earlier OS like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends a video driver command "Please restart you now!" and wait a few seconds.
    If there is no answer, the BONE concludes that the combo of driver/hardware video has really collapsed in a heap, and it fires at this stop 0 x 116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions did not help, make sure that the box is not overheated.
    Try to remove a side panel and a fan of big sector directly to the motherboard and GPU.
    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to check whether the cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it could be as simple as dust accumulation and inadequate cooling afterwards.

    You cannot extract a whole program from the Windows.old folder, it is used to recover individual files.

    You must reinstall the antivirus from the original media. Most AV programs can be downloaded from the Web

    Consider installing Microsoft's Security Essentials Antivirus program. It is clean, simple and free.
