Determine If A Product Key Is Already In Use On Another Machine?
Feb 11, 2012
I have multiple users, all remote and I have another machine I need to load with Windows 7, I know one of the retail versions of windows 7 I have has yet to be used, just not sure which one..Other than walking all users through the process of checking product codes to find which one is not in use I was hoping there is a way online where I can enter the product keys and it will tell me which have been activated and which have not been?Anyway to do that?I know I can install one and try to activate it, but I also know if I format and reload a machine it will let me activate that version of windows as many times as I want on that machine to so it's not going to tell me if it's in use or not right away, instead it will just hose one or both machines if it is in use already

i've been spending ALOT of time reading and soaking up information, trying to learn as much as i can about how all this glorious tech stuff works..my next goal: to be able to determine how to identify which type of wifi i need to use, B/G/ or N so ive learned a fair bit about the IEEE 802.11 set of standards. From previous threads, i was instructed to make sure i only broadcast for the types of devices i have.

Is there an easy way to determine what files an installation has created ? More specifically i am interested in drivers that have been installed. I know i could do a 'before' and 'after' on various folders or i could turn on windows installer tracing but the product i'm interested in is ALREADY installed.

This is going to show what a novice Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit user I am. From previous information such as a 200 MB System Reserve area that this must be an early version. Since I've installed it I've downloaded all Microsoft updates. Can anyone tell me how to find the exactly what Windows I have, the SP level and revision. What is a K or a KM? I've never specifically was prompted to make this version change from a trial version. It has been authenticated by Microsoft.

I clicked on Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers. Five members of the Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) were listed. One of the five was described as a USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 27CC.
My PC has 3 USB ports. How can I determine which is the Enhanced port? What if I plugged a USB Hub into a port other than the enhanced one, would it work better or not at all?

Lately I've been having some unusual network traffic. I've checked with Network Monitor 3.4 and the process name is either svchost or system or unknown.How can I find out what generates the traffic ? There were mainly TCP packets, but others too.I don't expect to solve the problem for me, just want some guides that you might know of, or tools to analyze network traffic, or some info on how to interpret Network Monitor frame details.

I have a brand new computer that I just built with the following basic specs:
[code]...
I'm just trying to figure out what exactly is hanging my reboots and shutdowns. I get to the shutting down screen in no time but it just sits there for like 2 minutes then shuts down or reboots. Obviously something that is not expected and kind of annoying.

My Windows Explorer keep "not responding" everytime I boot up my computer and click "My Computer" icon. This happen after I install Auslogics Boostspeed and Wintools.net. I have uninstalled both software but the problem still there. I end the process (explorer.exe)via Task Manager and re-run explorer. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it doesn't, or need to re-run the process to make it work.
Then, I switch to Safe Mode. Windows Explorer runs fine. Now, I know something that is running on "services.msc" cause the Windows Explorer to crashed. I downloaded SlimComputer from Softpedia.com and run its Optimizer. I set it to SuperCharged and some of the services changed to manual. I restart my computer and the problem solve. I change the setting again to its original, the problem appear again, then change to SuperCharged back, the problem fixed. How to determine which process/services is causing the Windows Explorer to crashed?

I clicked on Device Manager > Other Devices > Mass Storage Controller. Under Device Status it said, "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)."
I don't know what device they are talking about. All the storage devices on my PC seem to be working. Why does DM think there is a Mass Storage Controller at location PCI bus 7, device 1, function 2? I clicked on Update Drive - search failed to find a driver and suggested none needed. I clicked the Uninstall button and the message dissapeared until I rebooted the system.
Can somone tell me why Windows 7 might think there is a Mass Storage Controller on my PC?

2-week old Sony I7 laptop operating okay but slow and odd things not working correctly. Example is selecting START-Printers & Devices..>No icons shown despite working printers, external drives, etc..Slow overall considering horsepower of system and since OEM software my backup boot disks self-created likely to have same errors? I have run Cleaner which I have now read although fine product that it is NOT recommended to run any. Question is is it best to get all registry errors corrected by smart tech folks or just bite bullet and get a known good Win 7 disk and install it new?

I replaced an XP machine with a Win7 machine. When I VPN into our 10 network I can't get to any 192.168 addresses. The XP machine works fine only the Win7 doesn't. I looked at a lot of settings but I can't find anything out of sorts.

I have a small network of six computers. Five of them run XP and I just added a Windows 7 machine. I've got a Microsoft Access 2003 database that all of the computers share that is hosted on one of the XP machines. The Windows 7 machine can access the Access database through the network just fine, as long as no one else is accessing it. However, if someone else on an XP machine on the network is using the file, it won't open on the Windows 7 machine. Doubling clicking the file on Windows 7 gives me the circling blue icon for a second or two, then nothing happens. If the XP user exits the database, then I can open it fine. Permissions on the XP that is hosting the database is set to allow everyone. And all the XP machines can access it at the same time.

ive got 2 computers hooked up to a router by Ethernet sharing an internet connection, the internet connection works fine for both computers. i would like to share documents also between the computers
-one is a windows xp 32
-one is a windows 7 64
ive set up many networks in the past with a bunch of xp machines without any trouble but now i am having trouble my first step was on the windows 7 machine, i went to control panel -> network and sharing center -> setup a connection or network -> set up a new network this is where i believe i am making a mistake of some kind, it seems that the windows 7 machine is assuming that i want to set up the network wirelessly, when it is connected to the router via Ethernet. it simply brings me to a screen that says choose the wireless router or access point you want to configure, and hangs there with a greyed out next button everything seems to be going fine on the xp machine, i created a new network called "share bear", told it that the computer connects through a residential gateway, enabled file and printer sharing, rebooted the machine, and confirmed that there was a new folder in the network places for shared documents..i went back to the windows 7 machine where it was still hanging, rebooted it, looked for the new network in network and sharing center and it wasn't there, i tried again to "set up a new network" on the windows 7 machine with the same hanging screen

I have a small three PC home network. Two PC are running Windows 7 and one running Vista.
All three machines have the same homegroup settings. The ability to view machines on the network is very patchy. One machine can see the others, while another machine can only see one other machine. Sometimes machines cannot see any others on the network.
All machines are connected wirelessly with strong signals through a BT 2700HGV Business Hub router. All of the machines can access the Internet without problems.
All machines run Eset Smart Security with the Windows firewall is turned off.
Any advice to create a stable network would be appreciated.

Installing W7 using an old HDD on an old machine to install W7 on a new SSD to be used on a new machine.I'm currently using this old machine from '09 and its performance levels have died down a lot. I bought all the components to build a new machine except I didn't want to spend extra money on another HDD to install the OS on my new 180GB Intel SSD. So basically, I want to use the HDD from my old computer, install W7 onto the SSD, then transfer the drive to my new computer, and use it on the machine and just reinstall all my other files.

When you upgrade from a previously installed windows program such as XP to Vista or to Windows 7. What happens to the old product key? Is it just over written? Does it just go into limbo?
