Activation of vista does not work

Hello

This is not the first time, I had the problem. I recently updated my mac and install a new copy of vista. For my old computer, actually due buy two copies of vista because after days phone with microsoft, I'm sick of it.

Now I'm getting the same problem with two product keys. I paid for this software with some cold hard cash and mircsoft prevents use it. I'm not going to spend another unsuccessful week on phone with microsoft. Please send me two new product keys.

Thank you

Windows Vista is no longer marketed, so no new product keys are available... Sorry!  You may want to consider Windows 7. Carey Frisch

    Windows Media Player does not work.  Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player.  Tried to update and couldn't.  Couldn't fix it.

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • Windows Vista does not work with modem wireless broadband

    I saw no answer to this problem.  Can anyone help?

    Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G.  The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless.  Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.

    Summary:
    Vista / Netgear wired - work
    Vista / Netgear wireless - does not work
    XP / Netgear wireless - work

    I went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop.  I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft.  I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista.  Any ideas?

    If Windows Vista application activation unexpectedly on rare occasions, you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer that did not previously require Windows Vista activation or has already been activated successfully. For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.

    If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:

    1. Click Start

      and then click computer.

    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area.

      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

    To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

    To update to Windows Vista and prevent this activation problem does not happen:

    1. Click Start

      Click all programsand then click Windows Update.

    2. Click find updates.
    3. As soon as Windows Vista found the updates, click the install updates button.

  • Halo 2 for Windows Vista does not work on windows 7 32-bit computer

    Recently I have windows 7 installed on my computer and I installed Halo 2 for Windows Vista on this subject. I start the game, but before that I get a lot, it stops and I get a box that says Halo 2 has stopped playing for some reason any. He is looking for a solution and comes up saying that it does not find a waiting for Microsoft to find a. It happens the same thing every time.

    It seems that everything I needed an update. I went and did the updates and then began the game as administrator and it works fine now. I appreciate the help, though, and I don't know that your tips will help someone else as well. Thank you.  PS My game doesn't have the compatibility mode on it. Everything else is good. What is happening with this?

    Thank you all. Bubba

  • Windows Vista does not work for all programs requiring administrator rights

    I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Dell XPS laptop. He worked from 3-4 years. It seems that after a recent update (in the last week), I rebooted the laptop and after that Vista can not run programs that require administrator privileges. This includes most of the items in the Panel, the observer of events, computer management, elevated command prompt and so on.

    After logging in, I get a notification of the task bar that says "Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy."

    When I try to any program requiring administrative privileges (for example, msconfig), I get an error "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"

    I restored the system (from safe mode) for a day where it seems to be ok, but the problem remains.

    The sound in the system tray icon is a trademark of the Red Cross on it, but sounds work ok.

    Analyses of virus through McAfee (all installed updates and latest virus definitions) showed no signs of the virus.

    As already mentioned in the original post, System Restore does not resolve the problem. I got to the new vista installation to fix the problem. Some windows updates and reboot after applying the update seems to be the cause.
