XP Reinstall or repair the installation, all the keys show as zero and will not turn on!

I do installs repair and re - installs several PCs in the last days, and none of the license keys are coming as valid, though even I am sure they are (the PC came directly from Dell).

Now, I have one, I did a repair install, though I have the correct cd (oem, oem cd installation), the key showed as not valid for repair so I used the public keys of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457096.aspx to complete the installation.

Now, however, I can not connect to Windows. It won't let me open a session as long as I go through the product activation and activation says that my (valid) key is not valid! I would use the key update tool, but cannot connect to use it!

It said that the key which is on my COA which has been on the Dell PC is not valid? It's a bit infuriating. The first couple I gave up and used nine keys of unopened copied of XP that I have, but I'm out of those now and in any case the old keys must be still valid! Unless MS is turn off old keys to sell more. Seems pretty shady to me.

More information is needed, such as:

1. is the Dell keys to products for Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional?

2 is the OEM Windows XP CD, you are using a Windows XP Home Edition or a version of Windows Professional?

3. what level of Service Pack is installed on the CD that you are using? 1, 2 or 3?

4. have you tried to use the Windows product key update tool ?

5. have you ever tried to activate by phone: How to activate Windows XP by phone

  • Why my iphone4s connects to my wifi? He stopped abruptly. The switch has greed out and will not go.

    WWhy won't my iPhone 4s to connect to my wifi at home? The button is grayed out and will not go.

    It is often an indication of a hardware failure. Try to restore it in DFU mode and set up as a new device. (do not restore the backup again. This is a test)

    If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar to your Apple store. You will need to either replace, or buy a new phone.

  • Classic classic BlackBerry frozen during the update and will not turn on or off

    So I was in a wifi zone in a fast food place, and my screen said that I had to update software and because I would be there for some time, I allowed him. He said to date started and then told me that I had to be plugged in for the update, but I didn't have my charger. I don't remember if it continued on its own or if I hit just OK but now it is frozen on the ATT screen and will not shut off/on/restart. If I press and hold the off button, it counts down as if she died but do nothing and I can't use the touch screen to cancel or restart.

    I am very frustrated because I've had problems with this phone since I got less than 2 months ago.

    In addition, he is now connected and still will not do anything else.

  • FLA, the size of the file is too big and will not reduce even after the removal of assets

    I loaded a png sequence in a FLA file. This makes the huge file, so I decided to remove them. However, this has not reduced the size of the DFL. I checked the library and deleted the PNGs with no luck. I even deleted all forms of asset library and deleted all the content of the scene and the timeline, but the FLA is still almost 1 GB. How can I fix it!

    I think that there is another bug in Flash.

    I don't know who marked this as "right answer", but he did not work for me!

    I took a whole new folder full of JPGs and then tried the above suggestion. Then for good measure, deleted ALL the content of the FLA file and emptied the library. I tried and then clear the Cache of publish and save as. The FLA file (empty) is always greater than 50 MB!

  • I downloaded the version 12.3.2 for soundcards and now the itunes screen is gtichy and will not always be tried itunes support but keep get tossed

    Hi anyone know of a fix for this?

    Temporary solution: on screens high resolution more than 2048 pixels wide, the iTunes window should be reduced to a smaller size.  Do not run maximized.  Reduce the iTunes window until the store renders correctly.

    This seems to be a rendering problem with higher resolution monitors.

    My current resolution is 2560 x 1440, Windows 10 Pro, iTunes 12.3.2.35.  iTunes Store and the new tab will correctly display up to a resolution of about 2048 pixels wide iTunes. Something more broad than, the windows starts to go crazy.

    I think it has to do with the selections of 'Featured' album and artist at the top of the browser.  I think that he can't shoot correctly past 2048 pixels.  And since it is a number of base 2 (2 ^ 11), it is probably a mistake to programming in the iTunes browser.

    I talked to a "Michele" thanks to the support of Apple, and she documented everything I found and selected as a bug.

  • When I open a photo in CS5 the layer is already locked and will not unlock. Cannot crop etc. This just started happening. Ideas?

    When I opened a new photo layers are automatically locked and not will not unlock. It only started happening. Any ideas?

    Some formats like jpg does not support layers, that's why it opens as a locked background layer.

    You can unlock the layer by dragging the padlock in the trash. This will convert the background layer to a regular layer.

    If this is still insufficient, capture your screen with the open layers panel and everything collapsed expanded layers. Then post here so we can see what is happening.

    I recently had to reset my plugins by using 12 Firefox in safe mode to get rid an extension/add-on causes a redirection problem. All was well, except for a plugin I need is no longer works. It is called 'missing-e' and is for Tumblr.

    I tried put it back at least 5 times, according to their instructions and am now here, after they said it was a browser issue. I do I get invited to install on firefox, I install, I get the message that it has been installed correctly - but then it never appears in the Extensions or Plugins area under modules area (even if nothing never appears in the Extensions). And the features, it allows tumblr are not enabled.
