Windows XP activation through the internet

Hello,
I haven't used my Windows in quite a bit. I forgot whether I have or have not installed the drivers. I'd reckon I have... most probably. Either way, there's no way I could check it after the 30 day grace period is over... and I can't get into my Windows XP at all.
So, I'm trying to activate it through the internet... but I can't. I thought the problem might be because I'm counting on a protected wireless connection... so I tried using cable, but my Windows also still says that there's no internet connection detected.
Are these the only two workarounds to this problem:
1. Call up Microsoft so I could activate my Windows.
2. Reinstall Windows.
Is there no way I can get internet detection at all, at this juncture?
Thank you.

Mulia:
I believe that you may not have installed the drivers. Did the internet ever work with your windows installation? If yes then you installed the drivers. If you never checked or it never worked then you may not have installed them.
Regardless of that, if you have an authentic Windows product then you can make a 10 minute or less call to Microsoft and get your WIndows activated. This will allow you back on the Windows desktop and then you can install the drivers and get on the internet. Without the installation of the drivers the internet connection will not work.

  • Problem with activating Cuda Premiere Pro CC (yes, I've read through the internet before)

    Hi Guys
    So CUDA is kinda getting me one more time in trouble. The first time I had to search through the internet to get  to the information how I can activate CUDA by writing my graphic card name in the file where the supported graphic cards are listed. Interestingly my card was already listed and still I was not able to activate CUDA. After a few more hours of internetresearch I finally made it and could run Premiere "CUDA-supported".
    In the meantime another strange issue occured: Sometimes CUDA is working and sometimes it's telling me that it's not. In the most cases a restart is enough to be able to "reactivate" OpenCl. So how can I activate CUDA (or at least OpenCl in Premiere constantly instead of temporarily?
    Note: I looked everytime if a graphic card update was available, rarely I updated the graphic card but in most cases there was no update available.
    Thanks in advance

    An hour ago I've talked to someone in the adobe support Chat until I've lost the connection and after reinstalling my NVIDIA Driver and deleting my old settings, it's currently running and it let me choose between CUDA, OpenCL or only software.

  • I have published my Ni logic through the internet ..

    I have published my Ni logic through the internet ..AS far I know that any device whithin the same connection area can access my logic But that when using any windows system(Xp or either winows7) ....How about trying to access the logic from my mobile??? ..for example i have an androide system mobile !!! I noticed that I can access the page but without having the control panel of the labview !!
    What shall I do ..Does the androide system needs such as an Engine to be able to activate that front panel ..Or What !
    waiting yr quik response..
    thanx

    Hi Eman sa3d;
    I am not quite sure what you are asking. When you say “publish my NI logic,” what do you mean by that? Are you creating a web service and trying to control it via your phone’s web browser? We have the Data Dashboard app for Android that might be what you want.
    Also, here are some links that might prove useful:
    1) Building Android Applications for Simple Data Monitoring.
    2) Data Dashboard for LabVIEW (iPhone, iPad, and Android App).

  • How to connect to an other computer through the internet

    Please who can help me with Desktop Remote control and connecting through the internet. I know a lot is written about it, but it is still confusing.
    So try to explain my situation:
    I have an MacBook pro with Desktop Remote Control 3
    The other computer:
    Apple PowerBook which is connected through and Thomson Speedtouch (wireless 716)
    External IP address xx.xx.xx.xx
    Internal IP address 192.168.1.66
    No firewalls
    My questions:
    How do I check if my Thomson Speedtouch the ports 5900 and 32?? are open?
    How can I open the ports on the router? Do I have to open the port on the router?
    Then on the MacBook Pro, I start up ARD3
    How do I scan for the computer on Internet? Do I use the external IP address?
    How can I then connect to the Apple PowerBook? I cannot fill in the second internal IP address or do I?
    I hope someone can help me.
    If more info is needed, please ask me.
    Thank you....
    Hans

    Neil thank you for your answer.
    I opened Network Utility. Went to the last Tab "Port Scan"
    I typed in: external IP address (i got this through the Widget SysStat which shows external IP)
    Than I gave up scan between the ports 5890 - 5910 to check if those ports are open or not. I had to way for a moment, and then the result was: "Port Scan has completed....."
    Ok, what do I know know? The ports are open or not?
    So please can someone help me with the following:
    1) What should the result show me from Network utility?
    2) Opening the port, this has to be done on the Router or is it something the Internet Service Provider needs to do?
    3) I still have the question: how can I open the port, so with what application.
    4) What are the exact ports which needs to be open?
    5) About bridging in the router, does that have a special name. I didn't see in the router configuration program an option like that? When searching --> this is configured: A. Router-modem (NAT/PAT) - is there something special with NAT/PAT?
    Hope someone can help me with a few of my questions.
    Thanks

  • Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

    Hi All,
    I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
    Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
    Site to Zone Assignment List
    On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
    Log Name:  System
    Source:  Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Event ID: 1085
    Task Category: None
    Level: Warning
    Keywords:   Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
    There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
    I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
    Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
    After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
    http://servername.*  
    *.internaldomain.com.au  
    *.domain.com.au  
    *.domain.*  
    *.externaldomain.com  
    *.domain.inernaldomain.com.au  
    *.domain.*  
    *.domain/name.*  
    *.domain.inernaldomain.au*  
    *.domain.com
    Is there something obviously incorrect here?
    Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
    "Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy?  Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
    existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
    **Please Note**
    I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
    always correct in the future. 
    thanks in advance for your time and assistance

    UPDATE:
    I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
    The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
    always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
    *.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
    If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
    Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
    I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
    There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
    Anyone have any more ideas?  I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

    Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
    http://*.domain.com, or
    https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
    http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
    something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
    This link might get the creative juices flowing:

    hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

    I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

    I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

  • Accessing my home network through the internet?

    Is it possible to access my home network through the internet via my AirPort Express? I would like to have full access to my Mac Mini's hard drive from my MacBook while at work.

    Yes. You will need to enable file sharing on your Mac Mini (via Sharing in System Preferences) and then you will need to port forward all your ports (since I don't know exactly what file sharing method you will be using) of your Mac Mini via the AirPort Utility.

  • Streaming advertisements to TV-screens through the internett

    Hi,
    I am currently opening up a shop. In this shop we have 6 different TV-screens, which will run all of our advertisements and offers.
    These 6 screens is split up in the following way: 2 in front, 4 on top.
    The two first are going to show the same images/advertisements, so will the top 4. 
    My question is if Adobe has any programs can run and distribute/stream these images to the TV-screens through the internet? Does Adobe Primetime work this way for instance? And why is it not included in Creative Cloud?
    In advance, Thanks!

    This has nothing to do with Adobe. You need a suitable video splitter hardware.

  • Can i connect to the database through the internet

    hi all
    i installed a database oracle 8i enterprise edition on a pc that exists in a town far from me . i wonder can i connect to this database through the internet from my house
    please i need a answer
    thanks in advance

    You can connect from an Oracle client to any Oracle database in the world that meets certain requirements.
    First you need an open network connection between the two points so either no firewall exists between the two stations or the firewall(s) have been configured to allow Oranet traffic. This means both databases must have access to the Internet and certain ports are open.
    Second you will need the IP address and port for the remote listener, which in turn must be up and running on the target server.
    Then you must have the Service Name or SID and a valid username/password combination for the target database. Plus the username must have create session privilege.
    That should be about it.

  • Local mac-to-mac transfers goes through the internet connection (very slow)

    Transfering files from my iMac to my MacBook Air (or the opposite way) over my local Time Capsule wireless network is extremely slow. I connect to my MacBook Air using my local username account on that machine (which is the same as on the iMac). When I click on the connected MacBook Air again (under shared in Finder’s left column) it says I'm connected as [email protected] (my MobileMe address). Transfers then goes with around 50KB/s which is the same as my outbound capacity on my internet connection. If I disconnect the internet from the Time Capsule I get transfers around 2.2MB/s.
    I can’t actually log in as a local user on my other local machine. It goes through the internet no matter how I log in. Back To My Mac is even turned off on both machine.
    How can I fix this?

    You actually are close enough to their 3meg down that you can't complain. 2.8meg down and 700kb up is fine, unless it's supposed to be their FIOS that is.
    Sounds like it is the site(s) that are slow, like these boards at times.

  • I have an ipod touch 4g. I want to use our internet hdtv as a monitor so others can see my screen in 40". Sony guy said that can do it wirelessly through the internet router instead of Hdmi without the need for an apple tv.Is this true and how do I do it?

    As I said above, I want to view my iPod screen on our new 40" Sony Internet full HD TV.
    I know that you can do this via HDMI but a Sony guy said that you should be able to do this wirelessly by going through the router. Is this true and can I do this without the need for the Apple TV?
    We are soon going to get the airport extreme, so will it work with that?

    1. Is it a smart TV?
    2. If so.... Is the TV connected to the Internet?
    3. If it is.... Check if your iPod and your TV share the same IP address (Wi-Fi network)
    4. If they do.... Then you should go to wherever your "Other Media" tab is.
    5. After that.... Search for you iPod. Because it is connected to the same network, it should recognize the device they same way AirPrint does.
    6. If you happen to see this fail, then try this method:
    1. Do you have a Bluetooth-enabled computer/laptop?
    2. If so.... Enable the bluetooth on the computer/laptop as well as your iPod.
    3. After that.... Your iPod should be actively searching and it should find the computer/laptop.
    4. If it did.... Transfer the file onto Windows/Mac (preferably Mac) and find the program to open the file.
    5. After doing so.... Connect your computer/laptop to the TV via HDMI Output Cable.
    6. Now it should work!

  • Accessing my home-based iMac through the internet?

    The Goal: Wake up a sleeping Intel-iMac, running Tiger 10.4.11 with a MacBook laptop running Leopard 10.5.4. And then, using the MacBook, I want to gain access to all the files in the iMac and be able to read/write/copy the files on to the MacBook.
    The Catch: I need to do this, remotely, outside my airport express LAN network, through an internet connection miles away from the iMac.
    My Current Set Up:
    Home Base- the iMac, running Tiger, is connected to the internet via ethernet running through a D-Link 5 port ethernet router. The iMac is running OS 10.4.11. The home base internet provider is Time Warner Cable with a dynamic IP address that changes daily. I pay about $35 a month for this internet cable service. To get a permanent IP address would make me a commercial account that would cost me $95 per month.
    Remote Base- the MacBook, running Leopard, is connected to the internet via a Belkin wireless router. The internet provider is AT&T DSL
    The Settings on the iMac:
    I have a password for both the iMac and a different password for the airport connection.
    In the iMac System Preferences/Sharing I have Personal File Sharing on.
    Remote Login on.
    Firewall is On.
    Internet Sharing is off.
    Under the Network Settings on the iMac, the location is Automatic. Under the Network Port Configurations: Bluetooth, Built-in Ethernet, Built-in Firewire and Airport are all checked and active.
    The MacBook has a WakeupLan application installed.
    What settings do I need to change in order to reach my goal?
    Do I need to download any other software such as a VNC client?
    Which VNC client should I use?
    Is the VNC client difficult to use?
    I know there are services such as gotomypc.com but they only work for PC computers and those computers need to be on and awake in order to access them. Plus those services cost about $180 a year.
    I’m looking for something much cheaper but still simple to use.
    Any detailed help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Panther

    The answer is possibly.
    On the Mac you want to wake, make sure that you have Wake-on-LAN enabled (network preferences), and record the hardware (MAC) address of the machine. You will need that later.
    Next, you need to enable remote login on your Mac. This actually turns on SSH. By default, this means that you can login to it, via terminal, using 'ssh' and your username and password. While SSH is pretty secure, using a username and password based login is still not very good. You should read the SSH documentation or look for tutorials on the Net on how to create an encryption key and switch SSH to using only key-based log-ins. Guessing a 2Kb encryption key is not going to be practical for most people.
    You will also want to go to dyndns.org and register your computer and download a dyndns client (unless your router has that built-in -- many do). DynDNS.org offers a service whereby your computer or router can automatically update it's IP address in DNS. You will need to register a domain name, but from the standpoint of most applications, it will be as if you get a static IP address (the DNS entry will change whenever you are assigned a new IP).
    After you've done that, you need to setup your router to forward a UDP port (7 or 9) from the outside to the broadcast address of your LAN. The broadcast address is the IP address of your machine, with the last number replaced with 255. For example, if your iMac has IP address 192.168.1.100, the broadcast address is 192.168.1.255.
    Once you've got that going...
    On the Macbook you need to install one of the various Wake-on-LAN applications (there are a number of them for OS X - pick one that let's you send the wake signal across the Internet). Configure the Wake-on-LAN program to use the IP address of your router, the port you selected above, and the machine address of your Mac. You can test it now by sleeping your Mac and trying to wake it up. Keep in mind, some routers and switches simply drop WoL packets. If this is the case, you're just out of luck.
    On the iMac, make sure that you enable screen-sharing (sharing preferences), which enables OS X-built-in VNC server.
    On the Macbook, install Chicken of the VNC or another VNC client.
    To connect, first, use the Wake-on-LAN utility to send the wake-up request to the sleeping computer. Wait a few seconds for it to wake, then attempt to connect via SSH. You will want to forward VNC through your SSH connection like so (in Terminal):
    *ssh -C -L 5900:localhost:5900 [email protected]*
    ... when you are logged in, start the VNC client, and connect to 'localhost'. Because you've forwarded the VNC port to the remote machine, it will go though SSH and connect to VNC on the remote machine.
    The practical upshot is that you will have a highly secure login to your remote computer on-demand.
