The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I got this problem also, and there was one little problem, that i didnt tought..

I installed my Windows XP from illegal media and used that most used Corporate CD-key. Few weeks went by, and finally i got my very own license to Windows XP. I Tried to change CD-key, but i only got error message, that this new is not valid.

Problem was, that I installed my XP from Corporate Volume licensing -cd, and new one was Personal Lisence.. --> Personal License wont work with Volume Licensin CD.

I managed solve this problem. I just made Repairing install over the original Windows from Personal License CD. All my settings were the way they used to be. Allmost all programs worked (Except PowerStrip, Display adapter clocking software), and I was able to install Service Pack 1.

The easiest way I have found to change a Windows XP volume licensing product key is at the following URL:

http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

This will do the trick easily.
