Activation of Vista after installing on another computer

So not too long ago, I built a PC with my brother who was destined for the games. We have not had any problems with anything so far. Activation ceases to appear and enter the product key only nets that the key is already in use. However, my brother and I have installed the version of vista is supposed to have an unlimited license. I'm the only one having this problem because my brother and brother-in-law of brother both use the same version of vista on their computer.

Any ideas as to what could be the problem?

There is no such thing as an unlimited license for Windows.  You can't use the product key because it is already in use. You must have your own legitimate operating system with its own product key.

    If yours is a copy retail, you don't and I don't need to.

    But if yours is an OEM copy (for example if it came pre-installed on)
    your computer, you can not install it on another computer. Your OEM
    license restricted for the first computer, on which it is installed and it
    can never be legally moved to another.

  • Activate a GENUINE windows XP installed on another computer

    Hello

    My father has recently upgraded to a laptop with Windows 7, but misses his old games which are not compatible. I have rebuilt successfully his old vista laptop on Windows XP (better compatibility) but it requires activation and the code I have does not work.

    It has the Windows XP as it came with a laptop even earlier, but I think that automation can detect, it has been used on the computer as soon as possible.

    Any of you know how I do it to get Microsoft to recognize that it is is no longer using the old laptop and wants to instead use Windows XP on this newer model?

    He holds the license for the software as surely he has the right to install (only) on any machine as he wants?

    The laptop that I installed XP is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo LI 1718.
    The version of Windows XP, there is no service pack (it is so old!) but I have installed all updates until and including SP3.

    If you need any other information to answer let me know, I can provide a report dxdiag etc.

    Thanks to all who can help out me!

    If Windows XP product key is an OEM version, then it will activate not on another computer.

  • No sound on Vista after installing SP1/SP2 with Realtek

    Hello.

    I encountered a strange problem on the computer of my parents-in-law office. After an installation of SP1 (and later SP2) no sound stereo speakers that is connected to the computer to an outlet.

    The computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with a built-in audio device Realtek HD (5.1, but the connected speakers are two standard PC speakers), and the operating system is Vista. Before installing SP1, the sound was working properly, and absolutely no software or hardware changes have been completed.

    My troubleshooting so far include:

    -Tested with a helmet and another pair of speakers that I know works

    -I have obviously checked that nothing is cut in all available parameters, or speakers

    -Tried each input/output on the back of the computer, as well as on the front

    -Checked in "output devices" that the speakers are connected and checked by default device

    -Tried the two codecs/drivers available here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/desktop/aspire_t180.html

    -Tried the drivers of avaiable supplied directly from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

    -Uninstalled Realtek everything (both in the Device Manager and programs) and let Vista automatically install the original drivers

    -Disabled the 'digital output device (s/PDIF)"which is in the list of devices in output/game

    -Unchecked the 'detect connection on the front"in Realtek audio manager program

    -In addition, SP2 has been installed, which did not help. In addition, I tried every setting available, uninstalled/installed and so on. During music playback (or test tones Realtek or Windows sounds) all is apparently looking for OK with indicators of volume, jumping up and down, but everything is quiet.

    So I'm out of ideas and cannot understand this. I am very grateful for any help and advice. Thank you!

    Thank you

    Hello

    After installing another OS, you can retrieve only Vista if you start from the Toshiba Recovery disk and install the content. There is no disk HARD recovery option more, it means that the HARD drive recovery partition will not help you.
    In addition the Windows RE partition has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s a Vista feature.

    Then boot from the Toshiba recovery disc and will respond to factory settings! ;)
