After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.
Original title: Vista Activation issue
After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.
Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research
and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove
such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,
I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!
It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."
I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?
Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.
I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft
It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

Windows product ID type: 2

Your windows is only valid on the computer, it was originally installed on. It cannot be transferred.You can buy a full windows installation on your motherboard retail retail.EDIT: added more information.) SLP OEM: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

I just installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on my Windows 7 computer and can't download a PDF from a government site. I was able to download the pdf of the year last of this site without any problems. How can I handle this?
The PDF Viewer for Firefox supports not only this type of form PDF (XFA) or any PDF form really. You must download the file and open it in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and it will work. You can download the PDF file right click on this link and selecting "save target as".

Im trying to fill the network so my ps2 connections can use the signal wireless to my laptop running vista Basic. When I click to bridge, I get a message saying that I need at least 2 internet connections. is this in any way about this?
Hi Jer9009,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
· Could you give the exact error code or error number you get?
To connect multiple computers, install a network adapter in each and run a network CAT5 cabling to connect each one to a hub (and thus the other.) The computer that will serve as a transition will have a standard network card for wired and a wireless network adapter that will connect to the wireless (WAP) access point or gateway on the second network.
A network bridge is software or hardware that connects two networks or more so that they can communicate. You can create only a single bridge network on a computer, but a bridge can handle any number of network connections.
For more information, see the link: create a network bridge:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Create-a-network-bridge
Add a connection to a network bridge: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Add-a-connection-to-a-network-bridge

The error message "the connection was reset" can be caused by a bug for the attack of the BEAST fix (browser exploit against SSL/TLS) that the server does not support.
