Change of the computer and re-activitation

I bought window Visa a few years back.  Is the computer on which it was run down and I rebooted it on my new computer that I use at the moment. ;  Now I wonder activate the window while I use only a single window with this system.

What should I do?
Just to be clear...
You have bought a copy of Vista and installed on a computer.
This computer is broken, so you bought a new.
You have installed your copy of Vista on the new computer.
Windows will ask to activate it.

Have you tried to activate it as you did when you first installed on your old computer, by typing in the product key that came with the CD?

  • Why Apple does not provide a 10 W charger with the air of the iPad 2 when the barn of the computer and hundreds of people on the web say he needs a 12 W charger because Apple has changed their software and 10 W very slow iPad charges.

    Why Apple does not provide a 10W for I pad air 2 charger when the barn of the computer and hundreds of people on the web say that the 10 W does not work and it takes a 12 W charger.  Burning of the computer told me that Apple has changed their software on the iPad and now requires a 12 W charger.

    So you're claiming Apple is selling iPads with a charger that doesn't work?

    A charger 10W works perfectly well. A 12W charger can be slightly faster to load under certain conditions.

  • What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

    What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

    Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

    Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
    Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
    I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.

    Ideas:

    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Start the computer in safe mode and log on to the built-in account named administrator .  You will need to know the password, if any, for this account.  Once, go to Panel > user accounts and change the password for your regular account.

    Then, restart the computer and you connect to your regular account with the new password.  If the computer has a floppy drive, you can make a password reset disk

  • I recently updated my computer (the thing has changed since the problem) and now my LAN is enabled at startup, even if I turn it off before you stop. Why? And how can I stop this?

    Since my last update, that is the only thing changed on my computer since it began, my lan port is always on at the start of Vista (Ultimate).   I'm on a laptop that has a LAN on board.  I have not had this problem NEVER before and have owned the laptop for about two years now.    The only thing that has changed on the computer's windows updates.

    I spent the length of a deactivation of the adapter before you turn off the laptop and tried to load a page that is not in the temporary memory, and get the usual page cannot be displayed.  I scanned for virus using AVG and Bell Internet Security scanner online McAfee.   I also ran Windows MSRT and found nothing unusual.   I also checked to see if the BIOS has been changed somehow, and nothing has changed.   Boot to LAN is disabled.   So I can only conclude that I have a virus has not been detected (but have no slowdowns or anything different in the security under gpedit.msc logs), or the more recent Windows Update changed some settings.

    But weak and this is every time I start up the computer from the local network is enabled.   If I let the cable disconnected at startup, it does not reconnect to the modem cable after rehabilitation and I have to disable and then re-enable the LAN to access the internet.

    Please let me know if anyone else has this problem or have heard of this and know a solution.

    Thank you.

    Just to isolate the problem, try to download a new copy of Windows 7, and then try again:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Regarding problems with the computer itself, try to disconnect all nonessential equipment attached to it to see if the problem persists.

    I would also try switching around components such as modules of memory to see if the problem persists.

    I would also check to make sure that all components are mounted and installed correctly.

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    I am the administrator of the computer and the computer won't let me access the list allow and block my child's account.  I'll bring my parental control password, click on my childs account, put parental controls, go to web filter and click on block some web sites, click on edit the allow and block list and the computer tells me that it is not able to make changes to parental controls settings and see the system administrator if the problem persists.

    Hi Ranw,

    ·        What is the error message when you try to change parental controls?

    ·        Have you been able to make any changes on this computer from your account earlier?

    You can follow the steps below and check if you can make changes to the parental controls on your computer.

    Step 1:

    Note: You must restart your computer when you enable or disable UAC. Change levels of notification does not require that you restart your computer.

     

    Step 2:

    I suggest to create a new administrator account and log later in the new administrator account, try to set parental controls and check if it works.

    Create a user account:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
