If you only purchased one license, it is illegal to use it on more than one PC.  If you wish to be legal, you will have to purchase a second license.

Report it to the manufacturer--- the serial number will get flagged and if the theif ever tries to upgrade software, bring it in for service, etc, it'll get captured then.  Not a whole lot you can do once it has left your office, though... realistically you will probably never see it again. You should install a tracking software to all of the remaining laptops--- different ones do different things. Some do a GPS track which may or may not be helpful (imagine trying to find that laptop in an office building in New York City! talk about needle in a haystack!) while others will destroy the computer by erasing the hard drive and frying the BIOS.

you are gonna have to reformat it, install an antivirus, and scan for that sumb*tch.\n\nIt most likely will be on the drive that had the Operating system installed on it.\nBut if you have multiple hard drives, then you probably should format both of them just in case.

If you have a legal "code" (OEM) for your copy of Windows, and it's not used on any other computer, call up Microsoft's technical support and speak to them.\n\nThey should be able to guide you through the process to validate your copy of Windows.\n\nThis has happened to me before and my solution worked.

i wouldnt put anything from your old pc on it you have a new one just start fresh and use your old one aswell

it shouldn't be a problem. if you simply installed it twice, then the newer one should have overwritten the older one. if you can see 2 (c:&#92;windows, c:&#92;windows2) delete the smaller number one (the newer one will have a higher number.) Don't rename the 2nd one, because the paths have already been set.

no they wont--  the problem you describe is caused by either two brands of drive that dont like each other or due to drive jumpers being incorrectly set.  One other possibility is if you have Windows 98 and have put in a drive that was formatted with a newer operating system then you would get the same error msg.

if the motherboard you are switching out is vastly different, It will not work, and even if its similar your better off re-installing windows, but if its identical, there will be no problems(any that I've ever found yet anyway)

nothing will happen to your computer if you have an illegal windows. it can run for the next 10 yrs and you dont necesarily have to run into any problems. you wont be able to update it but lots of computers are never updated.\n\nand no, m$ cant do anything to ur system.

directly from gateway them selves. Youll have to give them the serial number on the back of the pc.\n\nOr, best thing to do is find a friend with computer experiance and get them to install windows, and all the other software you need.

If you have the same licenced copy running on two PC's, That is the only case that I know of that would cause the problem that you are describing...Autocad sends out a query over the LAN when it starts up to see if someone else has the same serial #...\n\nJust a thot...

another thing u can do is install another copy of windows 2000 on top of what you already have. that way youre guaranteed admin rights and install the av from there

Unless the computers are exactly alike in every specification like processor speed, amount of memory, hard drive space, and cd/dvd drives, no.\n\nMicrosoft has protected itself by forcing Windows XP to report back every now and then, to make sure it is not being used on more than one computer.  There is a file however, that you should make a backup copy of, in case you need to replace a hard drive and reinstall XP.  It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes Windows will think it is being installed on a different computer, so placing this file in the system will tell it otherwise.  When purchasing Windows XP directly from Microsoft, they will give you a 10-15% discount on additional copies, but each license is limited to one single computer.

You can do this, you might have to contact Microsoft...just make sure to tell them you are upgrading your computer.  The licensing should work fine as long as you format your other hard drive.

plz dont waste ur time on winmodems. external serial modems(even not usb) works fine.
