Reinstalling, serial "Invalid," Windows 7 sticker faded

I have an HP CQ60-615DX with Windows 7 Home (64 Bit) pre-installed.
My computer was running increasingly slowly so I uninstalled and attempted to reinstall ran into a roadblock with the serial number.
The 25 digit number on the back of my computer was not the serial or is now invalid. The number was not on the "Windows 7" sticker, but was underneath the battery. If there was a serial number on the Windows 7 sticker, it is no longer legible. The only readable lines on the sticker are a barcode, the software version, and a ###### ### formatted code.
Is it possible to retrieve a working serial from the visible information or tmy laptop's serial number? My computer is currently unusable. Please help if possible, thank you.

I'm not sure that this is what you have done but if not try it:
Call Microsoft Using Manual Phone Activation
1. Open Windows Activation - click the Start button, right click Computer, click Properties, then click the option to activate Windows now or change your key.
2. Click Show me other ways to activate.
3. Type your Windows 7 product key, and then click Next.
4. Click Use the automated phone system.
5. Click the location nearest you from the drop-down list, and then click Next.
6. Call one of the available phone numbers listed.
7. Do not select any options and wait for a person to pick up, then explain what happened.

  • X11 BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)

    Hi everyone!
    Here is the issue:
    Im using X11 to access and SGI (Silicon Graphics) IRIX system. I had it working once, then I rebooted both machines and never again has it worked. When I run the command
    Xnest :1 -query 192.168.X.X
    the IRIX login window appears and I can log in and then all the desktop elements show up as they should except windows. When ever I try to get a window open from a tool bar or console window I get this on the sgi's console and nothing happens:
    X error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
    Major opcode of failed request: 128 (XINERAMA)
    Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XINERAMAGetState)
    Resource id in failed request: 0x570000000
    Serial number of failed request: 668
    Current serial number in output stream: 668
    I hope that someone can figure this out
    Thanks!!!
    also as a note I may have run the 10.4.10 update before i disconnected everything, but I don't remember.

    These are the links that I used to set up the SGI's

    At one point this worked!
    I also used the Xnest, but it is akward and has its own issues. Some items in the toolbar dont show up, just blank where text would be. Kind of a wierd issue. I have screen shots posted in a different forum here:

  • How to reinstall itunes without windows error 2

    how can i reinstall itunes without "windows error 2"

    Ah iTunes, how you make me lose my hair.....
    I got it working, but not before it imported all of the wrong stuff.  I set the Media Folder to precisely what I wanted it to import (all of my daughter's Top 40 songs), and then found the Music option "Add MP3 and AAC Files from your folder".  That seemed to be the correct option, so I clicked it.  Unfortunately, it didn't just stick to my folder, but went off on its merry way adding any song from any folder.  It dumped hundreds of ACDC and Aerosmith songs into iTunes (neither band is particularly stingy with F-bombs on live albums) into my daughter's list of teeny bopper titles.  When I tried to remove them from the iTunes library, it put up a scary warning that if I removed those songs it would delete them from every iDevice within a 5KM radius.
    There doesn't seem to be any way within iTunes of removing all songs from a particular folder or hard drive directory, which would have been nice.  In fact, I can't figure out how to show the filename anywhere within iTunes (isn't that a bit odd?).  So I manually removed the 2K songs it had imported, which took a good hour.  Then I found the File - Add Folder to Library option, and that one allowed me to select the folder I wanted to import.  I hate to say it, Apple makes great hardware products, but iTunes seems to come from an entirely different planet.

  • How do you reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 in UEFI mode?

    I have a PC with a single hard disk and, a while ago now, I installed 64-bit Windows 7 on it in UEFI mode. 
    The disk has two primary partitions: a C: partition which contains my Windows 7 system and other installed software such as Office, and a D: partition which contains only personal data. 
    (In other words, I don’t have a multi- or dual-boot system.)  
    I now wish to reinstall 64-bit Windows 7 into the same C: partition, again in UEFI mode.
    There is a procedure for reinstalling Windows 7 documented on the following MS Web page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7
    in the section entitled “Using the Custom installation option without formatting the hard disk”.
    The following YouTube video demonstrates this procedure:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr_s29MWOA0
    and it looks relatively straightforward. 
    Essentially, the re-installation starts by inserting the installation DVD into the optical disk drive and running setup.exe while still logged on to Windows 7 with an administrator user ID. 
    At the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, both the System Reserved partition (the example in the video is a legacy BIOS installation) and the C: primary partition are visible. 
    On that screen, you simply select the C: primary partition and click
    Next, and Windows 7 is effectively reinstalled over Windows 7. 
    Any personal data in the C: partition is preserved in a folder called Windows.old.
    The big question is, does this procedure work for a UEFI installation? 
    The documentation does not state that it works only for a legacy BIOS installation. 
    If I were to follow the procedure, when I reach the screen entitled “Where do you want to install Windows?”, I would expect to see the EFI System Partition (ESP), the Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR), my C: primary partition and my D: primary partition. 
    Can I simply select the C: primary partition and click Next to start the (re-)installation?
    It appears that nowhere in the procedure do you specify what mode of installation (legacy BIOS or UEFI) is required. 
    Does the installation setup simply use the same mode as that of the existing installation?
    Does anyone have any experience of reinstalling Windows 7 in UEFI mode, using this procedure or any other method?

    Hi,
    It depends. Do you have Windows 7 DVD? Does your computer have a Boot from EFI Drive option?
    Windows 7 DVD can boot in either BIOS mode or UEFI mode. Different UEFI firmware implementations support different methods for handling the installation operation. The processes for booting the computer into UEFI mode for the Windows product DVD are
    the same. If you can find a boot from EFI Drive option, please perform the suggestions as i referred to.
    If you cannot find any boot option, perform the steps below:
    Use Device Manager's Firmware option and select Boot from EFI Internal Shell.
    Use the EFI internal shell, as follows:
    Start the EFI internal shell from the EFI boot menu and select the drive with the Windows product DVD. The following example assumes that the drive is Fs0:
    Shell> Fs0:
    Start the EFI boot application. For example, on an x64 system, run the following command:
    fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
    After the application starts, you may be immediately prompted to press a key to boot from the drive to continue. Press a key to continue booting from the installation media.

  • Developer Error: invalid  window block name passed to set_window_position

    Hi
    I had Registered a Form in Oracle apps
    After that i'm trying to open the form,then this message will be displayed
    Developer Error: invalid  window block name passed to set_window_position
    in the PreForm Trigger I had written the code as apps.set_window_position('MY block name(MAIN_BLOCK)','MY window(MAIN_WINDOW)')
    i had wriiten like that
    but
    After click on that Ok Button of the error message my form is Open
    and My form is Also not having any Minimize,Maximize and Close Buttons
    Please Tel me How should i resolve that Error and also how can i Get that buttons for the Form

    I agree with Francios, you should ask your question in the General EBS Discussion forum.
    in the PreForm Trigger I had written the code as apps.set_window_position('MY block name(MAIN_BLOCK)','MY window(MAIN_WINDOW)')You are using a Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) framework procedure to set the window position, not the Forms standard Set_Window_Property built-in.
    and My form is Also not having any Minimize,Maximize and Close ButtonsThese could be controlled by the APPS.Set_Window_Position procedure, but I'm not sure. It could simply be that you set (or neglected to set) the default properties of your Form's window the enable these buttons. More than likely, the APPS procedure is setting them. It's been too long since I worked with the EBS to say for certain. You really should ask your question in the General EBS Discussion forum.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times and keep getting the message it reinstalled incorrectly stating windows Error 127.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times and keep getting the message it reinstalled incorrectly stating windows Error 127.  I am using windows 7

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    You may have more success if you use the advice in the Install missing components section to break down the installer into its component .msi files and install these in alphabetical order.

    You can backup your library by saving the iTunes folder that contains your iTunes Media folder to some form of external storage.

    BR,

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Anyone got any ideas? I'm thinking under the batter on that thing that tells you how to put the RAM in but I thought I'd just ask to see if anyone ran any problems with that. Probably silly but you never know.

    AHHH We thought you were asking about the little Windows sticker that PC makers put on the palmrest.Sorry about that.I would keep the "key" sticker in a file cabinet with all irreplacable items.
