• The upgrade of vista activation window

  I have a HP computer I bought several years of 'NEW '.  She had the window XP by HP with a key code on the side of the computer for XP.  Later, I've updated with windows vista, which was more stable and safer.   My computer is turned off and I couldn't have managed to restart.  First, I tried the vista upgrade disc and he told me that I had to use the original windows XP to perform a recovery.  Since the windows XP has been installed by HP I had to use the original recovery discs, I did when I first bought the computer.  Then I had to reinstall the upgrade to vista.  Now to my problem: I tried to activate the vista, but since it was installed by HP there is no activation wizzard, so I used the prompt "Activate now" and he asked that I enter the code I did and he said I have used the original key not upgrade code code.  So, I am entered in the key for the windows XP code he would accept either this key code.  I called the Microsoft Support Center and tried to get help.  Finally, I need to talk to a technical support and he said that I'd give it an activation number that is indicated in the "Activation Wizzard" which I told her that I don't have the "Wizzard" because it was installed by HP.  He said he couldn't help me and hung up on me immediately.  Then, I called HP to see if they could help me get the activation number that Microsoft wanted to.  They said that my computer was more guaranteed and could not help me, but could give me to another group of service that would charge me aqpproximately $60 to help me.  I told him everything I needed was the GOOD key code for the window they've installed on my XP computer or tell me how to enter into the computer to confirm that the key code, they gave me was correct or not.  He asked for forgiveness, but my computer was out of warranty.  I bought two operating systems of windows for this computer and have two key codes and neither one of them can be activated.  The key encoded on the computer is provided by Microsoft and key coded on the Vista upgrade is provided by Microsoft, so why can't the operating system activated by Microsoft.  For both companies CUSTOMER SERVICE leaves much to be desired.  I have spent a lot of time getting this system to the top and re - install the other software that I had to go through all of the upgrade again.  I don't want to not all over again if I don't get the Windows operating system that is activated before the end of the time and the system shuts down again.

  Hello

  It seems that the Windows Vista product key has been blocked, so you may need a new product key.

  You can keep your Windows Vista DVD at hand & contact Microsoft Product Activation Center for assistance.

• The upgrade of Vista home premium for the company

  Hello

  I bought my toshiba satellite and startet to install all my software on it.
  I really want to install the version of Vista Enterprise there are many functions that Miss probably with the preinstalled vista home premium.

  Does anyone know a way to install without having to reinstall the entire system again?

  Any idea?
  THX.
  sfloehle

  Hmm, I assume that you will not need to boot from the CD of Vista Business, but you have to start the DVD of Vista Business running Vista Home Edition.

  However, I m not 100% sure, but I guess that it s the same procedure like an update of Win XP Home Pro.

• G60-125NR of the upgrade from Vista to XP Pro drivers needed

  Hello world

  Details of portable illustrated signature.

  I need to upgrade my Vista to XP Pro laptop. The HP site does not really provide any medium for XP as you can see here, it's just the quick launch buttons and the update of the HP software:

  I have the software that is running vista other than the fact that I don't just not like vista used. I managed to get pretty much everything works under XP except for 1 driver missing in the device as Manager indicated below:

  Video (VGA Compatible) controller properties > details shows PCI/VEN_10DE & DEV_0845 & SUBSYS_360A103C & REV_A2\4 & 15DBADC5 & 0 & 0058

  So what I'm looking for right now. Although it would be nice to have all the correct drrivers for this pc run XP (some of what I have work cannot be what he really need).

  What is the new slogan of HP? "Do the PC again" or something like that... lol. Well, I like mine with a side of XP and Linux would take the vista please.

  If anyone here knows what I'm looking for the driver? And if anyone knows where all the correct drivers for this laptop (apart from the one to sell them on ebay) it may be easier to post links to them now instead of having to deal with this issue later.

  Thanks in advance.

• After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 games installed in my laptop (Chainz, Cubis and Bejeweled, etc.) have bars on each side when displayed in full screen.

  I have a laptop Acer Aspire with a screen 16:9 wide (15.6 "), it has the latest graphic drivers ATI and all operating system updates.  After the upgrade to W7 (free upgrade with the purchase of the laptop) everything works wonderfully except all the games installed now not displayed in full screen, I get black bars on both sides, they used for Vista, but not with W7.

  I already tried different settings in the games options, administrator, resolutions screen different, being run in maximized 'Vista' and 'Run' mode of the file properties dialog box shortcut and .exe.  This happened without any security program installed that is not a factor.

  I am at a loss.

  This is to maintain the ratio l / h. It is how the images stretch. ATI no longer has the opportunity to play with the proportions for the sort of stuck like that unless you can find in your version of ATI Catalyst. It is in fact full screen as opposed to windowed mode, but it does not cover the entire screen.

  You can try different resolutions within the application to see if it will actually make your apps full screen to use the entire screen. That's all, remains to be done. I don't know why ATI has decided to exclude this option because some people hate the black bars or hate the stretched images.

• The upgrade of VISTA Home Premium Edition to VISTA Ultimate

  I can go from home edition Premium, Ultimate, by changing just the product key (pass through the Control Panel, system, Windows, Activation) or should I completely re - install Vista again and enter the ultimate key when you are prompted for the product key during the installation process?

  Background:

  3 months ago I had to format my hard drive and reinstall all my software (system crash). At the time, I could not find my product key ultimate upgrade, that I bought, so I just re-installed VISTA Home premium edition which came with the original HP computer diskettes provided upon purchase. I found my ultimate product key since then and am interested in the upgrade of the software. The pain to do a re install again, I hope I can avoid.

  Hello

  None

  You cannot change the versions by changing product keys

  you run the upgrade from home premium to ultimate starting in a race home premium

  just make sure that if the home premium SP1 and SP2 installed and the ultimate upgrade disk do not uninstall SP1 and SP2 do the upgrade, and then reinstall them using
