Sorry Rohit, but the product key is Microsoft's way of stopping software piracy. You need to purchase a legitimate copy of Windows, or purchase a new key from Microsoft, to make it work. We would be helping you break laws by providing a key, and that's not what this site is for.

If you don't want to spend money on Microsoft's Windows operating system, may I suggest you look into Linux? It's a great alternative to Windows, and it's free. The Ubuntu distribution, which I use on my own computer, is easy to install. It looks graphically similar to Windows so there's little new to learn to use it, and comes with a large number of applications preinstalled. This includes OpenOffice, a great replacement for Microsoft Office. More information is here.

Thanks for asking here on Fixya!

Please call on 800-642-7676, In Canada, 877-568-2495. Microsoft support number to get the product key.

Depends if the emails were deleted from a web based email like hotmail or yahoo. If they were, the emails usually get moved to the trash folder after being deleted from the inbox. If they are deleted from the trash folder, than it is not possible to recover them. But if you have replied to any of the emails then you might have the message thread in your sent box for that particular email.
I use Outlook 2007 on vista OS so it may be a bit different to XP Mail or Outlook. The data for outlook (calendar, contacts, emails) is stored in a .pst file by default stored on your C Drive. So your deleted emails may or may not still be in this file. You can import the file to your outlook program to retrieve any old / archived emails that are stored in this file.

To find where your .pst file is stored on your computer, google a term like 'where is outlook .pst file on a windows xp os' or 'how do i find a .pst file on a windows xp computer'

The .pst files can be imported in outlook by going to 'File > Import and Export > Import from another file or program > Select the Personal Folder File .pst file.
This is how you get your emails back after they have been archived, or after your computer has been formatted, so if theres any chance of getting them back after being deleted when using outlook this method would be it. Hope it helps

The best way to guarantee your documents will be safe is to back them up to an external source. I would recommend purchasing an external hard drive or USB stick depending on the size of your documents. You can then copy the documents to the external hard drive and be confident in repairing or reinstalling Windows XP without loss of data.
I would recommend that you regularly back up your data to an external source regardless of reinstallations however to prevent possible data loss due to unforeseen circumstances.

You should try VLC Media Player. I have used it for years and it is fast and plays everything. Just go try it out. It's free too.

On PC's, if Short Circuit occurs, the power supply shuts down.

• Disconnect the PC for a minute and make sure no cable is stuck, reconnect. Then turn on.

• If not. Check visually the power supply Fan on the back of PC and see if it moves.
  
• If the fan moves for a moment, there's still a short circuit. In this case recommend a professional. If not move at all, it is more likely the power supply is gone.

The easiest means to block IP addresses in Windows XP is to use Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) filtering rules. The primary reason to block IP addresses is to protect your computer from network-based threats, such as computer worms, viruses and other malware. To block IP addresses in Windows XP, you will need to activate and configure IPSeccmd, the firewall that comes bundled with Windows XP. IPSeccmd does not come preinstalled with XP on your computer. It can be found on Disk 2 of your service pack upgrade or downloaded from Microsoft directly.

1. Install IPSeccmd from your Window's XP Service Pack 2 installation disk.
   
2. Step 2 Open the Command Prompt on your computer by selecting "Start > Run" from the primary file menu and type the word "cmd" in the blank text field that appears.
   
3. Step 3 Enter the following command at the DOS command prompt to block a specific communication type (UDP or TCP) and port number on your computer:
   "IPSeccmd.exe -f [*=0:PortNumber:Protocol]
   
4. Step 4 Open the user interface for IPSeccmd on your desktop, and select the "General" tab under the "Policy" section. Choose the "IP Block" option and enter the specific IP address of the host(s) that you desire to block. Exit the application when complete.
