Countdown for a new system

Skybird · 03-05-11, 09:42 PM

I cannot, the plugs and connectors don't match (very old system). However, this is the new system. I researched the web via the old machine, and found that many Vista and Win7 users run into this problem, usually without finding answers, it seems, just the error description is always the same.

It may have something to do with old code (old software) or hardware somehow messing up the way Windows takes track of the hardware configuration of its host, demanding a new activation when the system sees to many or too intense changes. Its a malfunction certainly, and could lead people into an en dless loop like the kind I saw before. I had to try to interrupt it via keyboard commands for half an hour, in endless attempts, to finally get the W7 disc in the drive starting to boot from CD instead the HD. I then was able to trigger a full new installation (repair led back into the loop).

Possible they messed up the basic installation in the shop (I had a constant minor hardware warning in hardware manager), which now is gone since I installed it all myself.

Let'S see if this holds now.
