Why didn't Microsoft and computer makers label one of the keys as 'Any'?

Sometimes there are hidden keys.\n\nTry [Shift] + F4  (should be F16)

>_> That was a real question?!\n\nOK, almost all laptops have a Fn or Function key, and the IOP,JKL,and BNM< keys work as a keypad when the Fn key is pressed.

I agree with you it might be a virus, at least is something related to software, cause if it is a hardware problem, it either work or completely no, but not erratic response to keys. Since you can't type to set a virus scan, all you can do is to take of the harddrive and connect it to a pc which have the latest antivirus protection and scan the attached drive with it to start with.

It probably came up with this message because when it installs, it has a list (I'm assuming) of blacklisted numbers. What this means is that somehow your Windows product key got out into the open, and Microsoft has discovered it and deactivated it. What I suggest you do is go to the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/ww/windows/default.mspx. In this web page, it will validate your copy of Windows. If you bought the copy of Windows from some shady retailer or from some other shady place, or if you downloaded it illegaly, you can write to Microsoft and tell them your situation. If they are nice enough and your story is real, and they find out about it you are eligble for a fresh copy of Windows.

Because it's impossible without Microsoft releasing its source code. You can't run a program compiled for one kernel on another.

the screen should say what button to press.  Common keys are Esc or Del or F1.  Failing that try checking the tech support page of your computer manufacturer.

It's not the COA that determines if XP is legal.  It's the 25 digit product key that determines if it's legit.  If the product key  was used to activate other copies of XP, Microsoft might have declared the product key as invalid and any computer that used that key will no longer pass the validation scan.  Or the machine might have a corporate copy of XP Pro on it.  Microsoft will probably offer to sell you a new electronic upgrade for $149. to make your XP Pro legal. Or you can buy your own install disk with a never before used product key.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/whyValidate.aspx\n\nplrr

Nope! The original key only works twice and then you need a new key from microsoft.

everything that interprets 1s and 0s into something you can use is an operating system, the difference is the architechture, ex:windows is x86

You might have a problem with stealing a key. MS has started imposing restrictions on its software that include forcing a user to register within 30 days or have product disabled. & if the key is already in use by MS's records your gonna be out of luck.\n\nYour best bet is to download & use open office. It's free.

Well and Fn Key is usually found in a Laptop. what ver. of windows does ur laptop recommend? try insalling it from your CD that the company gave it to you. \nUsually those key dont work if you've changed to a newer or older ver. of windows. but in anycase your brigthness and contrast should work anyhow with the Fn keys!

Was it installed on your PC when you got it?  Sometime people put the sticker with the product key on the case itself.  You could also get in touch with Microsoft to see if they can help.
