  I have no product key for my windows vista... I need help... pleaze!

  If Windows Vista is already installed on your system and your system still works (even if only in safe mode) so you can be lucky.  There is a product called Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html which can be installed on your system and can retrieve the product key in the system files (only Vista does not provide this feature).

  If you can not enter your system, it has already been formatted or something like that, there is very little that can be done.  There is no place that keeps a record of the product keys related to individuals (or computers) that can be checked and Microsoft will not give without proof of purchase product keys (which IS the key product - the sales receipt or even the disc itself is not enough).  You can't even borrow a disk from someone else because you need your product key to activate the program.  The only choice is to buy another product (you'll probably need a commercial full version as an upgrade will not work on a non-production system or one where you cannot install a product allowing to level).

  You can TRY to get Microsoft to activate your system without a product key if you have the disk (there are codes on the disc, which mean it is valid or not), but I doubt it will work but may be worth a try.  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press 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 that you have lost your product key, but the disc and it's the same PC.  They can give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or they have very probably you will say you are out of luck and they can not help you).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

• I am at my wits end now ragarding Microsoft Windows vista update code "80070246" error Need help.

  Hello

  I have windows vista and for the last few weeks I can't get windows updates. I just get an error with this code 80070246 screen. It says 'never' most recent checks the updates and updates have been installed 'never '. I did the operation of Micorsoft update packages to prepare and package files autonomous but still no luck. I can't do this thing global installer that you burn it to a cd and run your windows disk with as I don't have vista or windows disk that the computer came with it installed, but no disc.

  Completely fed up that I can't install printers etc.. Ive tried to disable my internet security completely taken it out but still no luck so it isn't a firewall problem.

  Can someone please recomment something?

  Yes, this problem did start once my previous [subscription of the antivirus application?] has expired.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Tip: Contact the manufacturer of the computer for instructions on the use of the hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore) to do a clean install of Vista.

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
       http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

  Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

  Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

  Hello

  I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
  Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
  The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
  In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
  But this is only my personal hypothesis.

• UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME during the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista

  I'm getting an unmountable_boot_volume during the upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista.  It occurs after Windows 7 software loads and restarts.  If I restart the computer, I have the option to start the upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows Vista.  If I select Windows Vista, the computer restarts without problem.  If I choose Windows 7 Upgrade, I get the blue screen of death with the unmountable_boot_volume error.  Of course, nothing wrong with the boot volume because Windows Vista starts without error.  The boot drive is 1.5 TB.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish the upgrade to Windows 7?

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
