• After reformatting Vista, cannot activate Windows

  Hello

  I bought my own windows Vista and I'm the only one who uses the product key for this one. Is the computer that I use my laptop and I would reformat my laptop 2 - 3 times a year with the same Vista with the same product key. In the past when I reformat it, active window very well.

  But in my most recent reformatting, the window would not accept my product key because it has been used on another computer, which is impossible, because its only been use on my laptop.

  Is any way to fix?

• need to reinstall updates after reformat

  I have to go to the cumbersome process of reinstall all updates when I reformat the hard drive of my laptop?

  Lenovo has created three partitions on the hard drive installed. The smallest drive C contains Windows and software pre-installed. And I was told that the C drive should NOT be resized if not the OneKey recovery no longer work. But we are given the D drive which is MUCH bigger to contain all my personal data.

  updates take up a lot of my disk drive of the insignificant C, 19 GB space, which, in the end, let me about 700 MB to work with installing progs more. with do I find n reinstall every single update after reformatting the hard drive or do a system restore point? in this way he doesn't eat any more space in my C drive good?

  If not, grateful if you can advice me how to handle this accordingly.

  Hello Vanity.sha,

  Thanks for your reply.  A new installation of any operating system takes about 2-4 GB of space in the partition & after OneKey recovery on system should have been about 75% of free space available. I think there could be some unwanted files & folders on your system, so try to free the C: drive & then try to deploy the update for Vista.

  In addition, Microsoft & 3rd-party application has the ability to store the program files on all available disks, you can install these applications depending on the free space.

  I hope this helps.

• Rig crashes even after reformatting, heavy registry problems.

  Hello, I am building this computer in Dec 07, and it was working well until recently. I came one day at home in a very annoying virus and decided to just reformat since AVG and such could not find it. After that I managed to do reformat there great for about a week, then I started to have increase the registry errors, files missing, things like that. I tried to correct as I will, but many seem to just keep coming.

  I am now at the point where I can't complete the Windows Update, is now telling me to do it because when it restarts the login screen does not load. I'm that attribute to a facility missed some video drivers. When I will not start I have 5-6 errors in a line saying that various registry files are missing. I tried sfc/scannow, and it fails to end at 52%, as many others. /CHKDSK does not resolve the problem. Run the Vista installation CD and tried all the options such as the Startup Repair and repair memory (forget what it's called). My internal Sata HDD is also detected as removable storage among other issues. I'm running out of ideas as to why it is so bad that my HD or RAM is corrupted somehow. Any comments would be great.

  Windows Vista 32 bit, AMD Athlon 64 x 2 6000 +, XFX GeForce 8600GT, Asus M2N SLIDeluxe AM2, 520W PSU, 4 GB DDR2, WD 320 HD.

• How can I reinstall MS OneNote2003 after installing Vista?

  Hello everyone,

  I was a bit confused of the 'ExpressUpgrade' action, because I first thought I would get
  a DVD-Windows Vista upgrade, but as I can see in ModusLink he is named "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD"... OK, it's done now, but that's why I have other questions:

  There was additional software and utilities already installed (I have a Satellite P100 - 463 WinXP).
  I know that there is this "step by step Toshiba DVD" who has first updates the BIOS, install Vista and then the drivers needed and utility (as "Toshiba Assist" and all the others, I guess). As it is written in the guide step by step, all programs etc. will be deleted, as formatting of the hardddisk, ok.

  But with the laptop, there wasn't "MS Office OneNote 2003" already installed and this program, I have not found on one of the DVD / CD. On the CD is 'MS Works 8.5' and on 'Tools-CD"that I was burning of 'C:\toolscd' there are things like"InterVideo Win DVD Creator"(the player) and"recorder of Sonic.

  On the "Recovery-DVD" is just the Image of Windows XP preinstalled + software etc and I think of course, there is also the OneNote2003, but like I said I can't find the setup.exe from OneNote2003 anywhere...

  Or could it be that OneNote2003 will also be installed with the installation of Vista? What is a "core" Vista, don't not patched by Toshiba? As I was reading in the Vista_Express_Upgrade_instruction_multilanguage.pd f (the manual "upgrade progressive", first BIOS is up to date, then installed Vista and here again I have to use the toshiba DVD to install the software and drivers...) Is it only "utiltities' as"Toshiba Assist"or as software?

  Last question: update after the BIOS that is needed for Vista, is still possible to install the "old" Windows XP + stuff pre-installed recovery-DVD or this BBIOD goof only for Vista update and I cannot restore the original recovery image?

  And anyway, can I install new stuff like Works 8.5 etc. on Vista or will I have problems with it?

  Thanks for the replies.
  Greetings, launchee

  Hi kai

  I know that the Vista upgrade is a bit confusing
  So I'll try to clarify some things:

  1.) Toshiba Recovery XP CD contains all Toshiba drivers, utilities and tools, as well as additional programs like OneNote, Win DVD, etc.
  It is not possible to install this software separately without using the recovery CD because these programs are part of the image.

  2.) as far as I know the received "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD of moduslink company is not a restore CD but the real Windows Vista installation CD. That's why you need to install all the tools of Toshiba and the drivers after installing Vista. This CD does not include additional software such as OneNote or WinDVD

  So finally, you will be able to install Works 8.5 on Vista because you have one working on CD separately but it s not possible to install OneNote from recovery CD

  But you can try another way. You could create a second partition and you could install the Vista to the second partition.
  Laptop you would use the two operating system; XP and Vista. The Vista also provides a clean boot manager.
  Therefore, it is very easy to switch between the two OS's.

• Lights LED not off after upgrade vista business - Satellite U400

  Lights off after professional vista upgrade (U400).
  I bought my laptop about a year ago and had upgraded from vista home to vista Professional (operation which was made by the seller because I bought them the license of the company).

  Since then, it is because I have the laptop with me I couldn't turn off the LED lights up or down (satellite and touchpad).

  Is there anyway that I can at least turn them off? Any software driver...

  THX in advance,
  Best regards

  Fernando Lima

  Hello

  I think you mean illumination.
  Lighting can be turned off in the BIOS too.
  Simply access the BIOS, set the lights to turn off and save changes.

  In addition, the light button is controlled by VAP (value added package).
  This package must be installed in order to use the multimedia keys.
  Maybe you need to reinstall this package again

• After that Vista update of my Satellite L40 won't start

  After automatic Vista update of my boot of t n for laptop and the screen is black. Using the F8 key I have the advanced startup options, but none of them helps. The screen remains black. Hard drive led is always off.

  I have Satellite L40. I restored the OS using Toshiba drive. All data has been lost. After 2 or 3 days, update has been installed again and I noticed the same problem. What can I do?

  Please help me!

  For me, there is only one option: disable the automatic update to Vista.

  By the way: when that happen, have you tried to boot the operating system in safe mode and roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool?

• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• No sound after reformatting on Dell Dimension 2350 XP SP3

  Only, I went to read an mp3 file after reformatting last week and got this: "Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device". My multimedia audio controller, Device Manager has a yellow question mark and a code 28 by the bit of General properties. It's a Dell Dimension 2350 with SP3. Just let the Hardware Wizard find the driver for me?

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/ca/en/cadhs1

  Click on the link above, all your system drivers are here.

  Expand the Audio, there is only one pilot, click on download, note when you save the file in.

  Double-click the file to install the driver.

  Save the link above if you need others.

  If you have the CD Drivers and Utilities provided with the system, the drivers are on the CD.

  Yes, you can leave the installer for you, also Windows Update installs for you, but it is preferable to install yourself, Windows makes mistakes!
