Cannot activate Vista using the Portégé R500 series key
Hello
I have a Portege R500 with Windows Vista (Business I think).
After a system crash I had to change the hard drive.
I didn't have a Toshiba Vista DVD so I reinstalled Vista from a DVD of Vista Business I found in the office.
Once a few days windows now asks for activation, in the application process for the series.
When I have the serial number on her that I found on the botton of the laptop it says is not correct figures.
What can I do? How to make toshiba Vista DVD?
Best regards
Domenico Ciccopiedi
I totally agree with kody.
Serial number, placed at the bottom of the device belongs to the Vista preinstalled on your laptop.
It s version an OEM and, generally, the serial key does not work with other versions of Vista operating system.
If you want to install and use a different Vista operating system on your laptop, you will need to use the key supplied with the installation disc.
But in your case, I would order a new collection of Toshiba of the ASP or from this site:
https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
By the way; Vista on Toshiba Recovery DVD is already activated!

Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key
Well, I m using window vista Home premium, but I don, t ve produst the other key to activity from my window
* original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *
Hi gulabsher,
You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation. The original supplied with the software should do just fine. However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).
If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software. Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.
To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country
and click Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC. They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I tried to format the C drive and then reinstall Windows Vista using the windows reinstall disk but I couldn't start in it. I restarted my computer, press the F12 key and selected boot from cd/dvd, but the computer still started in windows. My computer is Dell.

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Comparing the Portégé R500-10J and R500 - 11 c

Anyone know the difference between Portege R500-10J and Portégé R500 - 11 c?
Hello
I searched and studied a bit more on different websites, and it seems that both computers portable Portege R500 support the same hardware specifications:
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.2GHz / 2048 MB / 160 GB / TFT12.1 / Intel GMA 950 GPUI think these two laptops are delivered and designed for different countries and the model number is therefore different.
The Portégé R500-10J PPR50E-00K00PSP seems to be sent to Spain, and the Portege R500 - 11 c PPR50E-00K04LRU can be purchased in Russia.

I have Toshiba P755-S5393 (PSAY1U-05W027) itfacing WIFI problem is not activate using the Fn + F8 keys.
Initially I was facing problem with auto power-off, I diagnose and disconnection of the electric connection of the media Panel since then my wifi is not activate even using the Fn + F8 key combination.Solutions and suggestions are welcome!
Aamir Malik
Hi Aamir Malik
Satellite P755-S5393 has been preloaded with Win 7.
If you still use this system, you should first check if the other next to the combination FN + F8 function keys work correctly.
If the keys n t work, you must install additional Toshiba as software
TOSHIBA Value Added Package and Toshiba Flash cards support utilityDrivers & updates for this model is located on the Toshiba USA support page:
http://support.Toshiba.com/support/modelHome?FREETEXT=3167433Where only the combination FN + F8 does not work, I recommend reinstalling the WLan driver.

I have three programs which cannot be uninstalled using the standard method (Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs); they are Adobe Reader 9.3.4, update of Java 6 and Java 6 update 24. What are my options for removing these programs from my system? I did a search on the internet and all the answers say to use the standard method, or they point to the Microsoft Installer Cleanup (msicuu2.exe) utility. I found sites that claim to have the software available for download, but I am wary of loading the software of a site, that I don't know.

Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer. Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions. Thank you.
You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.
And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.
When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.
Then you can explain what happened.

Cannot activate Vista; already in use on another PC.
I had Vista installed on a pc for a couple of years. I formatted and put another BONE in it. I installed my Vista on my laptop but it will not be activated, he said that it is already in use on another PC. I'm not violating the license am I? How can I activate it? Thank you.
Try activation again and choose the telephone option. If automatic activation fails, stay on the line and wait for the man lights up. Explain the situation to the human being and it will activate Vista for you. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Cannot activate Vista! Help, please!
My laptop came originally installed with Microsoft XP. A year ago I bought an 'Upgrade' Windows Vista disc to my computer instead. I've updated, everything was fine and then a month ago windows could no longer work. I could not reinstall Vista, because I only had the upgrade version, and I don't have XP.
I was able to install Vista without using the key supplied with the drive, but of course I was given 30 days to activate it - who is not able to do. Now, windows must stop working once AGAIN, unless I repeat again and again the installation process. I think it is complete BS that Microsoft does that. I bought the drive, I have the key, they should provide me with a way to solve the problem that THEY should have been fixed a long time ago. Vista stop working due to problems of Vista. I can't even use their technical support, because I refuse to pay the sum of $59.99, they ask.
Is there a way I can activate my Vista program so I don't have to keep reinstalling each month? I don't have an XP disc, and it never came with the laptop.
Hello
Thanks for posting.
You use the telephone option to activate Vista.
Click the Start button.
1. in the search box, type slui.exe 4 and press enter.
3. Select your country in the menu dropdown.
4. click on continue in the UAC prompt.
5. an toll-free telephone number will appear with a set of numbers generated by Windows and displayed on your screen.
6. dial the number and follow the automated instructions.
If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to a representative of Activation.
Simply explain to the representative the situation and that they will help in the activation of Vista.
Let us know the results.
