The install went fine, until I was prompted to activate. The key wouldn't work, obviously. It wasn't long until I found out why. One computer per key.Now the trial has ended
The OS uninstalls itself and I have to wait to get a legit copy before I can continue on with the work I have on my HDD. The uninstall program formats the entire drive, leaving me with NOTHING left.
i'm using sp2 and activation has expired...so now everytime i boot the pc i can't login to win unless i activate it .i even can't access it in safe mode.....the problem is the product key i have i already in use and saved in their database
activate and there is a button that says Resolve Now. Press the button and you end up back at the login. I can boot into safe mode and get the same message. desktop in safe mode. I've tried using the install disk and repair Windows to no avail. I've also tried rolling back.
I reloaded Windows XP Pro I was asked to activate, which I didn't do at that time. I lost my Internet connection and sound at the same time. I did a phone activation and I thought it went thru. I had a message to activate. I did the phone activation and was told DO NO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A VALID PRODUCT
If I RE-INSTALL XP again, will it give me 30 more days? All I need is a few hours, actually, because all I want is to get my stuff off the drive and be done with it...if we're able to do that, we'll probably subsequently give the machine away or sell it for cheap and let somebody else buy a copy of windows for it...so, if I were to re-install XP again, would it give me more time? Also, would there be a way to install the OS without formatting the whole drive (so that my files, pics, etc aren't written over)? If I were to install something like Windows ME, which I'm told doesn't need to be activated, could I retrieve my files THAT way? Or would it have to reformat the whole drive?
I just got the trial version of XP x64. I have a 64-bit processor and TuneUp utilities recommends I upgrade to x64. I have a couple of concerns, though. First, just because I have a 64-bit processor does not necessarily mean I have 64-bit drivers and 64-bit compatible programs, does it? Second, if I install the trial version and the trial ends; what then? Will I just go back to XP Pro or will I have sold my soul and be forced to purchase the full version?
this has happened only once before...last week...but since it was fine after a while, i didn't bother about it.But it happened today too...was working on some stuff and suddenly-poof!!!!shutdown..have no clue what caused this...But i think this may have been due to overheating..not sure.. One more thing--my system makes this never ending background noise whenever it's on...it's comparatively more noise than what my friends' system makes.Is this worth worrying about?
Out of nowhere, everytime I open IE7, im getting the following message:Navigation to the webpage was canceledI try just going ahead and typing an address in the address bar, page cannot be displayed. Nothing works, nothing at all.I've seen this problem posted on this site already several times, and I read the posts and it looks like no one has a freaking clue, which is ridiculous since it's beenhappening to tons of people. So needless to say, I didn't find my answers by reading the other peoples topics. I literally can't do anything on my computer right now until this is fixed so, I'm hoping I get some speedy help because I really can't afford to wait around right now, I'm crippled over here

Any help for a neophyte is appreciated. Running XP Media centre edition and have disks. Also, have error message on task bar that master drive failed and have to rebuild the volume.
I have a question regarding downloading trial versions of software. Once the trial period is over, does it automatically cancel or do I have to cancel it somehow in order to not pay the purchase price?
I have XP and trialled Microsoft Office 2007 for 3mths. The trial period expired and I went back to my old OE6. I decided to uninstall the trial Office 07 as I couldn't afford to purchase it, but now Outlook Express has disappeared? Where are all my emails, address book etc?
Regards to all, this is my first posting and I believe that you will be gentle to me. I am looking for a tool/software that can manage my system registry files. I know that I can get them online but I need to try them before I actually use them so that I can be sure of the results. I have read lot's of reviews and found out that currently, the best registry cleaner on the market is Digeus Registry Cleaner.
i installed the acronis trial version but when the acronis expires, i uninstalled it. But when i reinstall it.it says expired. I try to erase all the informations about acronis in RegEdit. But still no success.it always prompts me expired.
I have had Windows XP 64 bit trial edition for some time now, and yes long enough to expire the 120 day trial of use. I have enjoyed the much faster OS, and have grown to have many files, of many variety and size, and DO NOT WANT TO LOSE EVERYTHING by reinstalling windows.I was wondering if anybody, had any suggestions as to how I could extend the trial or reuse the trial while retaining all of my precious information? Are there any loop holes? Should I get a free linux distribution? Should I buy some whiskey and a gun? What would you reccommend? (PS- Currently I can only have my computer on for 2 hours, after 1 hour of usage, a window pops up saying 'your windows has expired, you have 16 days left to restore access to this installation of Windows, your computer will restart in 1 hour. In addition I really dont want to shell out money if possible in anyway!)
I have a Windows XP PC with MS Office XP. "This file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.Running under High Security Level, these macros will be disabled." whenever I opened MS Word and Outlook. We have not run any Windows updates or downloaded or installed anything. Basically nothing changed.
After even using Microsoft's "Fix It" and Diagnostic tools,I get an automated e-mail "Your ID seems to have expired or you have already completed this process before.Contact your support engineer so they can guide you through the appropriate next steps"
