Question by Megan: Windows says it cannot activate but online it says it can?
Hello, I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and I keep getting a balloon error stating “Windows Could Not Activate” if clicked I get four options “Purchase a New Key” ‘Activate Windows via Phone” ‘Activate Windows Online” and “Re-Enter Key”. I choose Activate Online and get a microsoft website that says “Validate Windows” if clicked it downloads a IE plugin then scans then comes back saying “Congratulations, you Windows version is valid and you can now access features only Genuine Windows etc..”

So, alright good. However an hour later I get a ballon saying Windows Could Not Activate again…
?

Next try activating via phone. Microsoft will give you free support to fix your activation problem. Microsoft will standby hours later to make sure you are satisfied. My guess is someone might be trying to use your product key on a different computer, and they will help you resolve the issue.

If you are plugged into the Internet, you won’t get the phone option ..

Turn off PC & remove the Ethernet cable – or turn off wireless in the BIOS – and then try again ..

Alternatively, why not visit the MS web site ??

Is this a LEGAL copy of Win 7 – with a valid product key?

If yes, contact MS Support for assistance.

If it’s not, I can’t help you.

Mac OS X Leopard is the latest and most advanced operating system for Mac PC’s and laptops. Most people are aware of the security feature this OS provides and are quiet satisfied from the protection they get from any online and offline threats. However, for many parents Mac OS X is a big mystery when it comes to controlling online and offline activities of their kids.

Most OS are not equipped with advanced security features to meet the demand of consumers who are exposed to a large number of threats online. However, most OS fails to admit the threats posed to kids from online sources like viruses, spyware, pornographic sites and online predators. To prevent such things from happening Apple has included a special parental control feature for parents to shield their kids from vulnerable online activity. 

 

Most parents are either clueless about the existence of this feature or unaware of how to activate it.

Well, here are some basic steps which will help you to activate this feature and shield your kids from exposure:
Click System Preference icon on the Dock or from the main Apple menu.
After opening System Preference click on the Systems section.
After opening the Systems section, click on Parental Controls icon which will open a different window with various Parental Control options.
Click on the lock icon that appears in the left hand side in the bottom. Enter Administrator username and password to get access to the controls. After entering username and password click on OK.
Select a user account for which you want to enable parental control.
After you select a user account you will see various options to control like System, Content, Mail, Chat along with Logs and Time Limits.

Just by following these simple steps you can ensure your kids do not venture into forbidden territory. You can also use a third party software to monitor your kids activity and block them from viewing objectionable contents.

Question by BBC: Activate Windows: Incorrect product key.?
My dad’s computer has had Windows XP installed on it for a few years now. Last week the copmuter started displaying a message that said “Windows must be activated within 7 days or you won’t be able to log on”. I don’t know if that’s exactly what it said. At the bottom of the window it gave you the option to activate now or later. If you clicked on “Activate Windows Now” then when the computer was logged onto a user it said that Windows was already activated. Now the seven days are over and when you turn the computer on and click on a user a window pops up saying that you have to activate windows to continue. When you click to activate and the Activate Windows program pops up and you follow the instructions it gets to a window that says to reenter the product key because it is incorrect. My dad no longer has his origional disk, package, whatever it was that has the product key on it. I tried to call the number provided in the Activation window and it gets to a point where it says that the product key is incorrect and says it will connect me with a epresentative but then the IVR hangs up on me. I’ve tried to call several times. What should I do so my dad and I don’t lose all the information, pictures, etc. that are on the computer?

Answer by Mercuri
It’s likely that the Windows installed on that PC is a pirated copy. You need a legal and legitimate version of Windows for that PC. On a side note, you can take your computer to a computer shop or take the hard drive out of that computer and put it in a HD enclosure to do a data backup of your files.

Question by Angela: Windows XP message – You must activate windows within 3 days or windows will stop????
I added a 1 gb memory stick to my pc. When I turned back on the computer everything worked fine but I am getting a message that I must reactive windows within 3 days or it will stop working. How do I reactive windows? Why do I get all the information to do it? I bought the computer with it already installed on the computer from the store. I don’t know where to get the info for this! How can I fix it?
This pc is not hooked to the internet and won’t be used for the internet. I use it for programs that display slide shows and movies onto a projection screen on the wall……..

Best answer:

Answer by PC user
If you have the internet. Then you should click on the reactive thing then follow what it says. It is just a legal thing that Microsoft has. It will ask for your details put them. The information will only go to Microsoft. Legally the shop you brought the computer from should have either done this for you or not have windows on it at all.

Question by swimmer769: Will McAfee Security Center protect my computer from the computer worm set to activate on April 1st?
I have McAfee and it’s supposed to have a really good virus protection, but will it protect my computer from the worm that will be released on April 1st?

Best answer:

Answer by Shawn M
There is a chance it will, just make sure to keep it updated. Personally I’ve never really liked McAfee’s virus protection, but it is still better than nothing at all
