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
http://security.Symantec.com/nbrt/NPE.asp?lcid=1033
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.
Microsoft safety scanner

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded.
To restart a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions,
Download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

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. Could it be the problem? I hope I did not reinstall my OS and destroy my computer :-(I also ran Microsofts diagnostic tool and write it here:

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.
* You have not stated your version of Windows, so it's Windows 7.

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 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...

We work with a Pc Dell and every time we try to install this version, the download stops after download of 85%. The last time we tried, we received notification that we do not seem to work with an official version, but with a pirate version". However, we have a number of series and bought the program in an official store called 'Coolblue '.
We recently installed Windows 10 and wonder if this could cause problems?
You can also download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

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.

I bought a laptop tailor-made and it turns out that there is a counterfeit Windows xp version. I want to upgrade to windows 7 instead of buy the version xp again. is this possible?
You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade. Make sure that there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware of the laptop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

How can I extend my Windows 7 Enterprise 90 Day Trial version?
How can I extend my Windows 7 Enterprise 90 Day Trial version? I can't find anywhere to buy a key for this version.
You can not, you can try this reset, but after it has expired, you must save and buy the final product or return to your previous version of Windows. Windows 7 Enterprise Edition is a volume license edition only, Microsoft it provides only an assessment because it has parity feature with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

"NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver display driver, Version 260.99 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." My screen, hang up, then flashes, then turns off, then comes back on, the same month so much MORE Simple ERROR CODE? How do I stop this? With a SIMPLE ANSWER! (BUY A MAC)
"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.
I download cpu - z and gpu - z (both free) and keep an eye on the video time

I installed windows 7. In the old version of win xp, I got an anti virus, but I cannot replace it in the windows.old folder
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.
