XP Pro did NOT WPA, have an OEM product key number, but it will also not WGA
Yes, I got the dreaded no past WGA logo on a WIN xp PRO installation which is an authentic copy of HP (OEM). I tried ALL the usual suspects of MS to do accept and it simply won't. I get the message "the product could not be updated on your computer. This is perhaps due to technical difficulties or problems with network connectivity. Please contact Microsoft Support for further assistance. "I have and that's why I found myself here as usual because the site is for me simply a roundabout! It does not matter where to get on I get off at the same places!
So basically I think I'm wrong in saying we CAN change via the Regsitry key? BUT how is that what an all-round solution? Because HP is going because MS offer ANY help at all with an OEM product!
Please someone help please?

Original title: product key
Hello
I have the windows product key sticker, but some of them are deleted. I really need help if I can send a photo to show him what it's like. I formatted my laptop and he asks the authentic copy. I really need help coz 2 days left to activate.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
You can extend the activation period of 30 days by running slmgr /rearm since the Admin command prompt.
Then take a picture of your COA sticker with your phone, blow as large as possible to try to detect all the characters input for Activation. You can also use a magnifying glass.
If you can not use the key to product then you will need to either the order of the restoration of the factory of the manufacturer of your PC media, or if you have a C:\windows.old folder you can try to reinstall the factory to SLP activation file. However we do not support this so you will need to search on your own.

I checked on the Microsoft website in the world, it seems that Microsoft has decided to abandon its customers on their own once they declare an "obsolete" product (they need to sell newer versions) So stop the previous support helps to encourage (force) people to migrate to Windows 7
Now more to the point does anyone know how to be a person who has lost the original installation CD, but still holds a legitimate property right with a number of product key of Windows XP to download a copy of the operating system must be able to move back into the original computer?
I'd appreciate knowledgeable answers.
Thank you kindly
The key you press on varies considerably according to the computer on which model Dell you have. Some models do not have this option. Now, your next logical step would be to download the manual of your Dell computer, that will give you specific instructions for your model on how to reinstall the operating system.
Go to <> http://www.dell.com >
On the homepage at the bottom under "Support", click on the link "drivers and downloads".
Then click on the link "Support for Home Users" on the next page.
You will be asked to identify your computer model.
After that, click on "Manuals" in the left border, and follow the instructions to download the manual for your computer. These manuals contain instructions that you need to reinstall Windows.HTH,

Product ID of Windows Vista-Home Premium 2007 Service Pack 2 is with an OEM product key.
Hello & thanks to anyone who reads this message & can help.
It's what I've done all I wanted to do was to change my old email address on my windows mail to another email address.
I contacted my internet provider technical support to change the addresses e-mail & settings so I was able to access the e-mail address that I wanted to use windows mail. They tried their new settings, they recently tried, but had no luck, so they have tried using their old/normal parameters & always been unlucky? He kept coming up with an error for the two parameters & not could not send the test email that he was trying to send back to me.
My internet provider tech support guy said, maybe I had a virus (that I know that I don't have), or maybe something wrong with my settings for windows mail or something is wrong with windows or the program & contact line of microsoft support.
Microsoft technical support said they cannot help me because I have an OEM product key & if I wanted to get help through windows I had to pay money to get help or contact with this site I am trying now.
I don't know what I would do in the future? I always update my laptop with the updates of windows/microsoft who cross & always am aware constantly check & make all my microsoft security essentials for updates & scans?
I hope someone can help me with my problem & understand what I wrote?
I have to update my system or programs to have & to the best software/programs & do what I originally planned to do with my emails?
My laptop Windows is too old?
Help, please.
Thank you.
Kind regards

Hello
As Vista is preinstalled on your computer (OEM license), Microsoft charges you for support if you use them. They had good reason to send you to the Microsoft answers Forums
The way you must have Windows Mail put in place is to use the e-mail address and other parameters as your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you; not an e-mail address that you want to use.
They are the ones that provide all the information for you.
You need them: parameters Username, Password, mailserver and mail out Servier
Here is the information from Microsoft on how to set up Windows Mail:
You don't say which is your Internet access provider.

If it is an OEM preinstalled contact license (Acer, Toshiba, etc.), the manufacturer and, ask them if you have a recovery Partition and if so, how to use it to reinstall the operating system to a new State by pressing F10, F11, or a sequence of different at startup button. or if you do not have a recovery partiiton asked to send you recovery disks, what they should do for a small fee.
