Please someone should help me out, i have important things in my laptop

abariko1:

I am a user of Compaq precisely presario c700, with window vista installed but always asking me for activation, meanwhile, when I first bought the system I didn't see any product key sticker which I suppose to see my product key, so right now as i am typing this complain I have only one (1) day left for me to activate my windows, so I want you people to help me on how I will go about it, cos I am really getting worried about this situation. Also the antivirus that came with it (Avast) also need registration. Help your brother man please.
thanks.

Well, sounds like the PC u bought z fairly used as all Newly made laptops either come wv the OS Installation CDs(whch includes the license key) OR a sticker beneath the lappy lyk u said. Solutions are 'U eida get the License key(prob. frm whom u bought it frm)' or re-install the OS using an0da CD dat has a license key. It all boils down to U getting a valid license key and to0 bad its not meant to be disclosed here,

By 2ma0, ur screen wil prob. go blank and u start gettin d notif 'This version of the Windows OS aint Genuine', after smtym, some appli. stops working e.g. Windows Media Player, Just get the CD, If u stay in Lasgidi, U can visit Otigba (tho thts software piracy).

For the Avast, U can download the 1-yr AvastPro here http://www.avast.com/pro-antivirus#tab4

Please does it means no one can help out, or is my laptop beyond repair. Please someone should advice me.

I hv been tryin 2 boot my lappy bt no show. Afta pressin d power button it displays 'Hp invent   it says press ESC 2 change boot order, f2 for setup,n f12
to boot 4rm LAN.' I hv tried al ds bt no show. Sm1 plz hlp o o!

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for the above enquiry and do appreciate your explanations.
Here's an explanation to this behaviour. when a computer is powered on

it check all components before booting past the ESC F2 screen. if one or more
is defective the computer will stuck and unable to move forward. Here's is your

diagnostics in narrowing down the cause. take battery+ charger out + any other
devices such as USB etc. hold down the laptop power button for 30 seconds let go

connect only charger and power on keep pressing f2 for Bios and see if will get to bios.

Check to make sure keyboard light is on. check the CD/DVD  drive for any cd/floppy disk

Would you specify make and model of your machine and operating system type.

Good luck

Dear abariko1,

Thank you for the above and would like to refer to Slyr0x advice as very good.

We all understand how frustrated you are and would try to make some difference.
However like the previous technician as mentioned we are not allowed to give keys.

Microsoft has found a way round it and adivices to do the below in bold to increase the days
to 3 or more until you find a solution to the problem.

Here's your diagnostics sir. click start > run and a box comes up type in there cmd right click on it
and run as an administrator a black pops type in slmgr -rearm press enter,
at this point a message will confirm all successful. restart your computer not shutdown. the days should
have increased by 2 or more. This command only works once until you buy a copy of windows.

To permamently activate windows take it to a shop as there are professional just like the way you
would go and see a doctor. Any activiation or whatever go the shop as there's little we can do

On behalf of my colleagues wish you good luck.

system type as this help to get replies in narrowing down the cause

@mr LarryUg
first of all if you visit any forum - not just nairaland where they offer advice/support on computer issues it is customary to include the specifications of your computer i.e. you said you laptop's an Acer; what is the model number and what operating system is running on it? we have to know these things before we can even decide if we can solve your problem

Thank you for the above enquiry. what's make and model of your
machine and operating system type ? e.g. Windows Vista, XP, 7.

Knowing this would certainly help us to narrow down the cause.

Did you use the same adobe with a different computer ?

If so, does the lines appear again ?

denzel2009:

^^^you have a trial version of adobe I think.

I very much agree. Like my colleague has said check to make sure
you're not using a trial version. answer the above question in deter
ming if this a trial or not. furthermore we would like to check if you're
using the lastest version of adobe, to check this click help>about adoabe

This would tell us the version you're using as this might be outdated.

Furthermore i would like to include this diagnostics from another site.

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/329120

Please note this not my diagnostics however i do recommend it based

on the enquiry you log. Please take time to read carefully


These lines are called stitching (there's tons of discussion here about that if you search for the term). They usually only show up in low resolution (desktop) printing, and occasionally on screen in a flattened PDF.

You might want to try exporting a Press Quality PDF (to keep the transparency live in Acrobat) and printing the PDF.

You may find something useful in one of these articles as well:
