Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.

  • How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?

    My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050.  Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid.  Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk.  What can I do?

    The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key.  This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system.  The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.

    If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.

  • How can I get the fix for Vista Home Premium described in kb313222 reset the default security to be permanent? Reboot made my sharing failure once again.

    I ran the command secedit / configure according to the kb313222, but I find I have to redo the command after that I reload.

    Hello Halima S,.

    Thanks for the replies and the direction that worked - somewhat.  I agree that the script is very nice, but I also saw that he really did exactly what I had done before.  However, as the source of the information and of the validity of the script I have very slow and tested every step this time before restarting and found that when I re-enabled the guest sharing connection stopped working.

    My hypothesis is that if the protection of password for sharing is enabled, then a connection without password fails the initial security checks and therefore do not allow all connections.

    The only thing that I forgot that "what has changed", is that we had a visitor, so I enabled the guest account, or I had the chronology wrong since between the two, I went to an open wifi and disabled sharing now so naturally I thought I was doing something irreversible.

    Thanks again,
    Tony

  • How to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?

    Hello! Can someone tell me how can I make Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to 64-bit?

    Here's my question: -.

    1. I bought a version of Windows Vista Edition retail family Premium, the package has only the 32-bit support (DVD). I found a few website say that the product key for the retail version of Windows is for 32-bit and 64-bit, as long as we use 32 - bit or 64 - bit on a single computer at a time. If I'm wrong, anyone could answer my question?

    2. now, I plan to move from 32 bit to 64 bit, my problem is that the version sold at retail of Windows that I purchased only contain 32-bit media:-

    (a) is there a way I could install the 64-bit Windows?

    (b) is it possible I could get 64-bit support?

    (c) could I use media in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit retail a friend to install on my computer? And after installation, I can activate Windows with my product key?

    Looking forward to the responses, thank you.

    Do you a clean install from 32 bit to 64 bit.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033/ordermedia/default.mspx

    Link above is how you get 64 bit DVD, if you have a retail license.

    You can use any Microsoft Vista 64-bit DVD and use your 32 bit key as you say it's Vista Retail

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • 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.  :-)

  • The upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hello

    I HAV downloaded the ISO file following from the MSDN (en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso) site for the upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.

    How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

    Thank you.

    A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.
