• Problem of Activation of Vista, error msg: you need to activate this version of Windows.

  Original title: Activation of Vista problem...

  I have a version legally obtained from Microsoft Vista that I've been running on my laptop. Recently I had a few problems with the battery and have decided to withdraw from the laptop before complete failure and virtualize on another machine. While I've been running the virtual machine for some time without problem, I recently ran in the form of horse "activate this version of Windows. My attempts to authenticate my version of Vista were not successful and clicking on the 'buy a new online product key' send me a useless part of Windows 8 to the Microsoft site. Interestingly, I was able to authenticate my copy of Microsoft Office on the virtual machine.

  I have IMPOSSIBLE upgrade to Windows 7 or 8, and must be able to continue to run Vista (or XP/ME/98) with some mission critical internal software. I'm happy to buy another license for Vista, however, it seems impossible. Without the ability to replace the laptop battery, upgraded the laptop or upgrade of the software to work with Windows 7/8, I have to find a way to authenticate this license of Vista in the virtual environment.
  Please, Please help. I don't want to have an "unauthorized" copying of Windows on my machine.
  Kind regards
  Matthew.
  P.S. I already have a copy of Windows 7 running and a large part of mission critical functionality is broken under this version of Windows.

  Thanks Noel.

  I did a little more digging into the problem following your advice and that of the original notebook computer manufacturer. It seems that the copy of Vista that I was sold with the laptop is an edition OEM who cannot be virtualized in this way, and therefore the problem with activation.
  So it seems that I have two choices, (1) try and find a replacement laptop that comes with Vista (unlikely) or (2) buy another copy of Vista (full version this time) through Microsoft (if possible).
  The only other option after that must pay my original developers an extreme amount for re - write the software for a Mac/PC/Tablet platform to date. I know that I'll need to do afterwards, because of the nature of something to do with computers (i.e. nothing left hard or constant for decades), but as with any business, I can't keep bleeding of money on perpetual upgrades. This is especially true when the only reason for the upgrade seems to be that the software is ' is no longer supported "rather than because it no longer meets our needs.
  Once again, many Christmas thanks for your help anyway. Do you by chance know if there is a way to buy a new key license through Microsoft?
  Kind regards

  Hello les1helen,

  If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  Hi Verisetti,

  Have you installed security software after formatting windows?

  If so, you can uninstall the security software temporarily and check if you receive the access violation error.

  If the uninstallation of security software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the software of safety accordingly. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

  Note: Make sure that you install the security software after the trial.

  What about Windows vista product ID, you can try to validate Windows and check if it helps.

• Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

  A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work. He tried to self-diagnose this himself, he told me to shut down the computer and restart. I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

  Can someone offer me some tips?

  Kind regards

  Barry

  Hello

  It's very strange
  How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

  Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
  Or what is exactly happening?

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
  In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

  I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
  But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.

  Hello

  Here is the HP for Vista recovery information.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

• Vista upgrade order doesn't look right

  Hello!

  The instructions in the PDF file on the site of Toshiba Vista Upgrade (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=UK&ID=2006-10-Vista-Express-Upgrade-UK) do not seem to be correct. I bought a Portege M400 on November 2, so after the beginning of the upgrade program. I also have a Vista capable logo on the laptop and the model number is listed in the eligibility list Vista and therefore suitable for an upgrade.

  But the problem starts when I go on the site, which is listed in the upgrade instruction (it just said go to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/ and follow the instructions).

  OK, so let's go:
  (A) I'm going to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/
  (B) to make sure that everything is set up for English and the United Kingdom.
  (C) It asks me if I have a form of redemption Upgrade - which I did not - so I chose the 'no' (as far as I know, these forms are primarily for commercial versions eligible for an upgrade).
  (D) I click on Vista
  (E) an information page arrive, I click Next
  (F) now it asks me to choose the dealer - what is weird because there are only a few manufacturers of Lenovo (Toshiba is not). So I click the button 'my computer dealer is not listed.
  (G) a message appears: "If your computer dealer is not listed, your OEM can have a direct offer for products upgrade of Windows Vista. Contact your OEM directly for more details. »

  That's all. What should I do now? OEM is Toshiba, Toshiba is not listed as the dealer (and in fact, he asks the dealer not the manufacturer) and according to the instructions on the Toshiba Vista Upgrade page, I just have to follow the instructions on moduslink.com - which ends with the result that I must ask my OEM (Toshiba) for an upgrade. So it's kind of a circle - Toshiba sends me to moduslink and moduslink back to Toshiba.

  And by the way, Toshiba lists only in the instructions to upgrade the need to have a reception which is located in the upgrade period, the document does not ask for something else - and I doubt I'm missing something.

  So what I do and how can I order my upgrade to Vista?

  Thank you!

  Have you checked if your laptops are available for an upgrade?
  According to the Toshiba page not all laptops are ready for the release of Vista.

• Purchase Vista upgrade

  Equium A100-147: upgrade from Vista

  Hello

  I recently received an email from Toshiba regarding the purchase of the upgrade to Vista. Followed the link and instructions, selected the "Toshiba Corp." option, when asked for the "serialized form", I chose "no"... don't know what it is.

  I go further and that there will be charges to redemption for the upgrade to Vista.

  Vista upgrade charge - £13.35
  Shipping and handling - £2.71
  Plus the VAT on top...

  As far as I know and also mentioned on the page Web of Toshiba, the upgrade is free and only need to pay the shipping and handling fees.

  Someone has already tried this and get the same fees... or without?

  Happy New Year, by the way.

  See you soon

  I agree with the snipe. If there is no problem with the update to Vista, you must call the Toshiba call centre.

  PS: I tried the moduslink and everything was ok.

• Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

  I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

  After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

  I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

  However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

  If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

  I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

  Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

  Thanks for listening...

  For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

  But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
  The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

  If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

• Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

  I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

  Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

  Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

  My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.aspx

  Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:

  Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.
