Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / March 2007Re-installing Windows XP with Virtual PC 6.1
I recently installed some software on my Virtual PC (Virtual PC 6.1 installed with Windows XP Professional. I am running it on a Mac G4 Powerbook under system 10.4.9.) Next time I started up the PC, I was confronted with a screen offering to help me set up Windows XP. I went along for the ride, but when invited to enter the product key,I had a problem. The first digit on my product key is 0 but it would not register in the box provided. I also found that "5" also would not register. All the other letters and digits were entered successfully. There is nothing wrong with the keyboard that I can see. (All keys work on the Mac platform.) I tried using the numberpad, cutting and pasting and an external wireless keyboard but nothing works. I cannot enter the product key! Now the virtual computer won't boot at all and several important programmes and documents are inaccessible. Can anyone help???? Thanking you in advance, jks On Mar 21, 10:07 pm, jkshor...@eircom.net wrote: > I recently installed some software on my Virtual PC (Virtual PC 6.1 > installed with Windows XP Professional.

In addition to 0 and 5 not working, you will also find that all vowels (a e i o u) don't work either. You should call Microsoft PSS to have your Product key validated. > The Product key would certainly NOT start with a 0.

I do not understand how I could have recorded the Product key wrongly, but personal error is easier to cope with than gremlins or voodoo! I could have misread a Q as 0, but Q does not work either. (An S later in the queue also doesn't register!) I will follow your advice and contact Microsoft support. Thank you again for your speedy reply. jks On Mar 23, 8:27 pm, jkshor...@eircom.net wrote: > > The Product key would certainly NOT start with a 0.

Correction, correction, correction to my last post!!! And apologies!!! The 0 was indeed a Q, and the S was a badly written 3!!! I am truly sorry to waste your time on problems arising from my own inefficiency! Shamefacedly! jks |
