  Hello
  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Why say CS5 key-config that I can't use a key (combo) when I can?

  I was watching my keyboard shortcuts (not that I can remember who is assigned half!), but looking at the things that I've done more often and I've ever used (and things I really wanted to not use accidentally, as enabling/disabling save transparency assigned next to 'go' key /..) ...

  But one thing that I have frequently had access to merge... options so I thought, why not Ctrl-Shift-B?   Small message appears and says that I can not use this key as a shortcut.  No reason given - I tried just Ctl - B, but he was assigned to something else (color balance or such and gave an ominous 'you cannot use _any_other_ key to the color balance'...) (Huh?) ... whatever..., I went back to my 1st choice Ctrl-Shift-B.  "You can not use this key as a shortcut...". Grrr... Well, what happens if I just hit enter?...

  Click - it saved.   Save the choice of config... Press Ctrl-Shift-B - Up comes from the merge options.  ?!?!!?

  I had never seen such a weird message - several other combos use CTRL - SHIFT - < letter >, so why would he complain of C - S-'B' but more weird... when I just go ahead and "do..., it works?"  Why should I say that I am not allowed to use a combination of keys when I am?   Is there a law that I don't know?

  I was wondering what else I said I can't do that I can't do and I was wondering what else isn't really true when he gives guests who seem completely illogical - and who are also "bad"?

  'Ctrl Shift B' is automatic color.  Look at your puck history as you try to possibly available shortcuts and see if they do anyting.

• Can I use a key to upgrade Windows 7 32 - bit for the upgrade to Vista 64 - bit, 7 64-bit, with a 64-bit upgrade disc?

  It's a bit complicated, but I appreciate all help.

  I have the following:
  1. access to a genuine copy of Windows Vista 64-bit (regardless of the version I want) through IEEE Computer Society.
  2. a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade disc purchased through a program of student software in 2010. Shortly after using the disk and the key, the laptop I was using died due to hardware problems.
  3. a drive to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit bought via the same pattern of student software, including an unused key.
  Student software system only allows users to buy a copy of each version, so I can't buy it simply another copy of the 64-bit version.
  I wonder if it is possible to use the key of the 32-bit version with the version 64-bit upgrade disk to upgrade a 64 bit Windows Vista installation to Windows 7? If this is not the case, unfortunately, I'll be stuck with Vista.

  Hi Paldor

  Windows 7 Professional 32 bit product key will attempt to activate the Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installation. The only condition, in this case, is that the (Professional) edition is the same.

• Can I use the Windows Vista I had with my Toshiba laptop on virtual machine?

  Hey all

  I have changed Microsoft for Macintosh, but installed on a virtual machine (oracle vm virtual machine) my Windows Vista I got with my Toshiba Satellite A350D Notebook previous. I installed Vista with the recovery disk. Now he asks me the Windows Vista product key. The sticker on the back of my laptop is more readable. I run the Belarc Advisor to get the product key in this way. But right now, he said: "it's the product key installed at the factory by the manufacturer rather than yours. You can change this to your product key here for Windows http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=45668"

  My question: am I not allowed to use windows vista legally, I had with my computer toshiba laptop on other devices? I won't use the Thoshiba laptop. Do I have to delete the record from the Thoshiba laptop? Where can I get a new product key?

  Maybe someone can help me here. Thank you in advance for taking your time to read this.

  Recovery disk or recovery image is designed for some cell phone only and is not a kind of universal image that can be used on other devices. It comes with the laptop.

  You can use the Microsoft Windows disk with valid license on each device. Recovery image is not only BONES. This is the package that contains the drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
  As you also know recovery image when you install it on your laptop must be turned on not so the license code downstairs just proves you have purchased a valid license with your laptop.
  > Should I remove the record of the Toshiba laptop?
  Not why do this?
  > Where can I get a new product key?
  You cannot get it because you need when you use the recovery image on your Satellite A300D. I think even you will hear of Toshiba.

• Re: Satellite X 200 - 22F - is - can I use BIOS of Vista 64 bit for Windows 7?

  Hello!

  Can I use Vista 64 - bit - 2.50 for my X 200 - 22 Satellite BIOS update? I just installed Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 bit and it works fine.
  Before that, I had XP-32 bit running.

  Thank you in advance!

  Tom

  Hi tn411,

  I guess that the BIOS of 64 bit Vista would be the best choice for Windows 7 64 bit. The other version of BIOS on the Toshiba site seems to be for 32 bit OS, so you can choose the 64-bit version of Vista.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

• What is the largest HDD size that can be used with Windows Vista Home Premium

  Can you tell me this as the largest capacity hard drive that can be used in a computer Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with an Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 GHz processor.  The laptop came with a 160 GB HARD drive.

  Largest you can currently buy and probably larger that your mother/hardware card takes in charge.

  ~ 18 exabytes.

  Your limit is probably more capped by material (and possibly the cost) than the software.  :-)

• Can I use my recovery Vista disc to replace windows 7

  One of my friends put windows 7 on my computer dell laptop, I want back my old vista, can I use the CD provided with the laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  My lap is a dell inspiron 1525

  Yes, a factory restore will format the disk and restore default programs.  You can also double check dell.com for any new information pertaining to the factory restore for your computer and new updates to install after the restoration.

  However, my suggestion is to make sure you move all your personal files and boxes from the drive before a factory restore, that is if you want to save them by e-mail.

• Where can I find help for games of "MS Entertainment Pack for WIndows (1990). I can't seem to use them on Windows 7, but it can be used on Windows Vista?

  I have been using the following games; Taipei (Majongg tiles), Tetris, Golf (cards) and cruel (maps), which came with MS Entertainment Pack for Windows (1990) and who has worked with every version of MS Windows since 95 Windodws. I can use them with Windows Vista but I can't use them on Windows 7, I really enjoy these games and like to use them in Windows 7 and 8.

  "All Microsoft Entertainment Pack games work on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, but this only applies to 32-bit versions. The NTVDM allows 16-bit applications run in 32-bit versions of Windows. In the 64-bit versions of these operating systems are 32-bit applications be run in a compatibility layer in the kernel and layer 16 bit must be rewraped, this is why Microsoft has removed the feature. "(from Wikipedia)

  It's true. I tested the games ("Best of Windows Entertainment Pack", similar to the MEP even older) on 32-bit Windows 7, no problem. On Windows 7, 64 bit, they don't work (except if try you heavy workaround solutions like running Windows 3.1 on an emulator of BACK, then using this virtual operating system to run games).

  You can reinstall as many times as you like on the same PC. No need for a new product key.

  There is a slight chance after the 5th reinstall or significant physical changes, you may need to reactivate by phone:

  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• Can I use product key OEM Portege R400 - S4832 to the re-installation of Vista

  If I don't have my restore DVD came with my laptop Portege R400-S4832 I use an other users Vista OS DVD to install Vista using the product key that came on the bottom of my Portege?

  Otherwise, it's a hassle to ask a Toshiba Recovery DVD?

  Thank you.

  Well, what to say to my knowledge it of not possible to activate the other version of Vista with OEM from Toshiba key.
  This key is assigned to this OEM version and it should not work with another Vista CD/DVD.

  However, I found this thread another in this forum about Vista installation and activation and the last user potatohead reported that he was able to activate the OEM of Vista version with the phone;

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28340&TSTART=0

  It's very interesting but for me really amazing. In any case, it s worth a try.
  If you get more information from Microsoft, please post it here.

  You would be really appreciated your comments.

  I have a laptop which is dead. Not real hard but drive map graphic or motherboard is dead. I have the copy of XP on it. Is it possible to reuse this copy of XP or not?

  If your copy of Windows XP came pre-installed on the drive, then you would not be able to use it on another laptop or computer from your version of Windows that are pre-installed are specially configured to work only with the computer, it came with.

  But if it's a retail copy then you can install it permanently on a new computer, however, you may need to activate by phone.

  Recovery of a disc using another model is discouraged, it can cause all sorts of problems and instability.

  Did you install Vista? If Yes, then you must install the package of value added on the Toshiba site.
