Activation XP and Vista

I have an old desktop pc that does not respect the graphic requirements of Vista.  Nevertheless, I bought a full version of Vista and installed.  Recently my daughter gave me a new laptop with XP installed, even if it meets all the criteria of graphics of Vista.  I quickly discovered that the installed XP version was not legal.  As a result, I bought a full version of XP Pro and installed.  After having thought about all this, I want to ask if I can legally spend XP and Vista on these two PC, cancel previous activation and reactivate with the desktop using XP and laptop using Vista?

  • Windows Vista active again and again

    * original title - Windows Vista active more and more and more and (you get the idea) *.

    for 3-4 months, at least once or twice a week (currently twice now with 3 days now) VIsta started in a black screen, stating that "this copy of Windows is not genuine" with a dialog box indicating the Activation succeeded.

    Why Vista has suddenly decided to activate so often? OS is fully legitimate, fully serviced, all the installed updates blah blah.

    As such, I have no problem with the activation screen popping up, my main concern is if the activation of MS servers decide my product key was activated too many times and decided to tell me to go away (to say politely!), which would be pretty annoying because nothing on my hardware spec has changed over the last 4 months , and the only significant change was a year ago when I upgraded my HD because of an impending failure alert (SMART State). RAM, processor and motherboard were the same items from the first installation.

    Should he help diagnose etc. machine spec is:

    "Northwood" Pentium 4 3 GHz FSB 533 Mhz processor

    ASUS P4P800 Deluxe

    2GB DDR1 Geil

    NVidia 7600GS AGP 512 MB iirc GPU

    1x500GB (OS) & 1x1TB (data) in a box Seagate HD with a 330 GB Seagate external LaCie firewire.

    Thanks in advance

    Not quite the answer to what I'm asking, system started, decided to reactivate and confirms thus reactivated, I want to know is why he had to reactivate again and again and again...

    This can be caused by a number of things - usually an anti-virus scan of the system at the same time that the licensing service is trying to verify the activation status.
    Nothing to fear (usually) - but if it persists, or the notification remains standing, you should run a report of MGADiag (when the notification is displayed) and post it here.

  • Resettlement and Vista OEM activation on the same machine with different Hd.

    I have hard disk problems and was wanting to know if I can reinstall Vista OEM with the same key, the system I built a few months ago, which apparently needs a new HD, all the rest is original. I have heard, a person cannot change the motherboard, but the beautiful la belle fille girl to MSoft, told me on the phone I couldn't change anything. Now I'm afraid to buy the necessary hd.

    Thank you

    Any help much appreciated.

    You can change the hard drive and reinstall your OEM licensed Vista on the same computer.

    You may need to reactivate.

    Can u pls advise.  This product has been used?

    You simply need to activate by phone and speak to an agent-

    When you call the activation line, and you will be asked your require service who do NOT respond. This should oblige the operator to pick up, whi can deal with you.

    When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

    KiranS Hello,

    Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?

    The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.

    I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.

  • Network to share Internet between a laptop XP SP2 and Vista Home Premium desktop

    I hope this is the right forum. I'm a graduate student in the field of information TECHNOLOGY as well as a few certifications, so I'll have people ask me some questions on how to troubleshoot certain aspects of their computer.

    @Santonio99

    You probably bought an iPhone stolen 6. Mine was stolen in Barcelona in Spain on June 10 by a pick-pocket. Fortunately, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make an iPhone locked to the activation of the work.  You have a paper weight.

  • You can use the activity tracker and an application running at the same time?

    I've been running just with my watch and the Apple activity tracker.

    But I wanted to calibrate so tonight I ran with my iPhone, too.

    I tried to use the Nike + and the PPP of activity both starting on my watch. I ran with the application of the activity on the screen.

    When I did I stopped the activity app and went to the Nike + app, but it was stopped.

    Then can you run the application of activity and a different running application at the same time. Or do you need to start another app on your phone and activity on your watch?

    Thank you all

    Hello

    To save your route at the same time apps, save the workout using the application of the workout on your Apple Watch (early check it there first) and also through the application of Nike + running on your iPhone.

    Monitoring of your training via the integrated application of the watch workout will cause your heart rate to be monitored at all times for the duration of your workout.

    The app Nike + running cannot currently access heart rate monitor watch directly, but if I read the heart rate data of the health on the iPhone app, it will always be able to access - indirectly - the same heart rate for your exercise data:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of health, press Sources (tab) > Running > turn on Allow 'Running' to read heart rate data.

  • Need advice on the recovery CD and Vista upgrade on Satellite M100-222

    I want to share my problem to get some tips. I got a laptop Satellite M100-222 Windows XP and Vista capable, then I got an upgrade to Vista and it works with few problems that do not recognize some programs.

    That's why I have some needs and need your help and support and they are as follows:
    1 - is possible to reformat using the upgrade of Vista, or need to reformat with XP first and then update with Vista.
    2 - I tried several times to start the CD, DVD (product recovery) to reformat the laptop. However it is said (operating system not found).

    Kindly enlighten me.
    Concerning

    With regard to the point;

    (* 1) * If you ONLY upgrade Vista CD, then it s necessary to start the first restore XP CD, and then upgrade to Vista.

    (* 2) * usually start from the CD/DVD recovery must format the HARD drive and need to install the new image of Toshiba. Please check if you have started since the right recovery CD! Don't mix it with the Express Media Player recovery CD!

  • Official release of the drivers XP and Vista for Satellite Pro P100 - 465 PSPAEE

    When will it be available for XP and Vista for the PSPAEE drivers? Currently there are drivers for the PSPA4E, some of whom work, others do not, no operating system. Yes the laptop is preinstalled with the Vista Upgrade and pilots work, but two of the pilot applications are blocked by Defender (NDSTRay / ConfigFree and VolControl). I couldn't get no option to allow to these (not yet classified MS so they are locked) told me to disable Defender technical support!
    I tried a clean install of my own version of Vista business and had problems of drivers with that as well.

    I would like to run XP until Vista is, shall we say, more effective I would use drivers specifically for her, so time would be very useful.

    I would also like to know why there is a where a finger scanner could go under the 0 on the keypad, and a blocked stop lower PCMCIA port (PCI-E?) when any of these are available as an upgrade option? I missed these upgrade options or is it a case of recycled from another model, they exist? If the latter then it is quite cheap for a new machine :)

    Hello

    We have all the users here can suggest only it seems that Vista and XP drivers are already available for Satellite Pro P100 PSPA4E
    So in my opinion the next drivers for the next series should follow in the near future

    I don t see it differently as to wait

    Of course, you can test different drivers from different series as Sat P100.
    Many laptop models use the same devices and therefore different unique pilots could be compatible

    I deleted Norton and in fact the Windows Mail Send7Receive button start working. BUT then after about an hour it has stopped working again! I have re-installed Norton but the problem is still there! I can send E-mail of Mail when I exit and restart the station.

    Hello

    I studied a little more on Norton and Vista compatibility issues and the Symantec Norton Internet Security is certainly compatible with Vista!

    Someone can advise please & is there a reason THAT XP & Vista should not be set on this laptop (Tecra A9).

    Best regards PM

    Hello

    Please do not hesitate to use the two OS on this notebook ;)

    I put t see difficulty do. You must first install the XP on the laptop.
    Then create a second partition on the HARD drive. On this score, you will be able to install Vista.

    The Vista Setup program will create a boot manager so that you can choose between the two OS (XP and Vista) at startup.

    Just try this. If something does not work please post again ;)
