Windows XP tells me to reactivate it within 3 days or it will stop working.
XP Pro application "reactivation in 3 days" or it will stop working. Is this true?
How long have you been using XP Pro? If for years and then the activation message suddenly appeared then activate by phone.

I use the latest versions of Firefox as soon as they are available on a PC in Windows 8. Firefox works fine, usually a few hours before the annoying problems manifest. The problem, that I address here is some widgets, including some widgets Firefox and widgets (such as buttons and selectors menu drop down) isolated in some sites stop functioning. In Firefox, the Menu button (the icon of three dashes stacked) stops working. And the download arrow sometimes stops working too. Sometimes, sub-items as printed stop working. A pull-down, the high and arrow down keys could still work even if I might now be able to select with the mouse. Closing and re-opening Firefox usually restores some functionality. However, I usually have to restart the PC to restore all the functions that has stopped working. So I'm good for usually a few hours yet. Another inconvenience, which others have addressed, is the appearance of Chinese characters - to research on the tab toolbar labels at the top. Restart Firefox gets rid of these for the moment. Thanks for the study.
Philipp,
Thanks for the quick reply and for the advice that you have presented.
I downloaded and installed the graphics driver that you recommended. The process went well. I have hardware acceleration disabled by an earlier recommendation to remove these Oriental characters.
After two days of problem apparently having been fixed, I considered replying to report success. But before I could get around to doing so, abnormal behaviors reappeared. Thanks for confirming the source of these Oriental characters. Previous research indicates that the source was with McAfee or Firefox, a bit like a battle for "pointing the finger" in between.
Best,

Well last year I have built my first computer and bought a copy of windows. He went without flaw, then about 3 months into my first build times that my boyfriend of science computer reinstalled windows sound and that he needed a windows disc so I just gave him my case together and he told me that he used my product key and that it has worked.

Your copy of Windows 7... This is a full retail version, in a nice cardboard box with a product key on the box?
Unless it was reported as 'bad' key and it is a commercial version - you should have no problem activating it (even with a new motherboard.) You may need to activate by phone instead.

I have purchases product code for Vista Home Premium. I couldn't find the disk, so I installed Vista Basic. Microsoft does not authorize the premium code to record the "basic" program How can I get the two to work together on my machine? MS will not let me get the program of upgrading without registering to the basic version... and on, and it will.

Microsoft is correct; you need the correct product key for each specific edition of Vista.
These information from Microsoft about replacing lost software should help you:

Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

Creating Windows DVD stops working
I rely heavily on Microsoft DVD Maker, as I created it and burned more than 300 DVDs. Only until sometime last week (29 March - 3 April) an automatic update from Microsoft has prompted the download and installation and is the SP2. After downloading, it prompted a message before installing indicating "little of your programs will stop working." He never said what program and I don't think criticism main programs closing, installation, I continued. And, since my Windows DVD Maker is unusable.
Yesterday, I restored my computer to standard manufactured. During the installation of the Microsoft Vista operating system, without choice, I had to install with course Microsoft Updates, including service pack #2. Needless to say that the problem still exists. Apparently, Microsoft needs to release a patch for this problem as a result of its updates.

Procrastinator XP: My wireless will still work with Windows 8?
Boy, I feel stupid waiting for the 11th hour ask this question. But there may be some kind guru out there who could lend me a helping hand.
Bought my Inspiron E1705 in ' 06... short 1, 6 GHz, original 2G of RAM, Windows XP SP3, love it to death. FINALLY, I must improve... but which?
Ran Upgrade Wizard for Windows 7 and Windows 8 and thought that I was very good... especially that others on this forum mentioned a successful 8.1 installation on their E1705. Great. Have the Windows 8 disk in hand, ready to install.
But... took a last look at the list of incompatibilities on Windows 8 - and OUCH!
INCOMPATIBLE - Intel (r) ProSET/Wireless v. 6.1.1.4
INCOMPATIBLE - 8.65.05 Broadcom management programs
COMPATIBLE - Connector Net Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG
COMPATIBLE - integrated Broadcom 440 x 10/100 controller
It's even worse. Searched online - and the Intel Web site says Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Net connector is NOT compatible with Windows 8, even if their assistant deputy claims it is.
BOTTOM LINE: I have will scan my beloved workhorse ([re-installed) will stop working on my E1705 XP only to find out that my wireless adapter?
(Interactive technical support is no longer supported - online only - and I have yet to find a person smart enough to those companies who can answer me.) There may be a here? I would be grateful. Thanks a mil.)
As mentioned Intel can't stand but Microsoft natively support it in Windows 8.0 and 8.1 of Windows if it is not a problem. The wireless card will work directly with this operating system.
As I did with both a Latitude D820 Windows 8.0 32-bit/64-bit and Windows 8.1 32-bit/64-bit with Intel 3945ABG wireless card. I also did with an Inspiron 6400 on Windows 8.0/8.1 32-bit/64-bit with a 3945 card and an Inspiron 6400 on a 8.0 Windows 32 bit with an Intel 4965 card. I tend to install and test the Windows installation a lot.
I am actually writing this post on an Inspiron 6400 with Windows 8.1 64-bit and Intel 3945 card.
You have 2 choices, clean install Windows 8.0 and upgrade to Windows 8.1 also here and here:
- [Windows 8.0] Windows 8.0 installation
- [Windows 8.0] Upgrade to 8.1 Windows
Otherwise follow workarounds to download an .iso Windows 8.1 and clean install with Windows 8.1:
[Windows 8.1 detail] Download the file .iso Windows 8.1 retail image
- [Windows 8.1] Installation with a generic key 8.1 of Windows because the Windows 8.0 key is rejected*.
- [Windows 8.1] 8.1 Windows installation
[OEM/retail] Product Activation of a product key Windows 8.0 help to change the key of
I prefer the second method because it will lead to a cleaner system and does not require the installation of a Service Pack via a buggy Store from Microsoft.
