You can change the product key on the bottom of the system (Windows key + Pause/Break) properties page.
Use a strong light and a magnifying glass to read the COA sticker. It is easy to confuse some characters such as B and 8.

Canon CanoScan 9000F Scanner could not get current drivers for Windows 7 x 64 to work
I just bought this machine and I am unable to get current drivers for Windows 7 x 64 to work. Cannon wrote it's the operating system, HP says it is the Scanner Software. Any help for this problem. The drivers have been downloaded from the Canon website.
This scanner is not identified as compatible Win7 in http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-gb/Default.aspx
Canon claimed she had drivers for Win7 x 64? I guess they did as you must refer to the version 16.0.1 so exactly what did say to blame the operating system [the two certifying their pilots as being compatible with Win7x64 & blame the BONE seem to be contradictions].
I guess HP is the manufacturer of your PC. I would say that you go only to get a resolution back to Canon & solve the compatibility problem. They have a users Forum?

Problem with Windows Media Player 11 for Windows Vista Home editions
I had serious problems lately. I don't know if it's the media player itself or if it is drive E. I'm starting to copy a CD, and it will burn the first songs of 5 or 6. Then he will analyze the next song, and an error is displayed. It will do for the rest of the railway. I took 4 or 5 Cd because of this. I hope someone can help me with that. I did all the updates, but when it will install, it says not compatible with the currently running system. I double checked that I use Media Player 11.0.6002.18005. Can someone tell what I'm doing wrong...
Hi leecee74,
Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.
In addition to trying the new CD drive, you also try to click with the right button on the CD player in the computer. Click the record check the 'enable CD writing on this peripheral area '. If it is already done, uncheck the box, apply settings, then re check the box and click OK.
It will be useful.
Kind regards

Basically, I installed windows 2000 on my machine and I can't find a download for windows vista home basic that doesn't have some kind of crack or keygen. I want a legal copy not a hack. I have the serial number supplied with my computer. where can I find this download or get a drive.
Here are all LEGAL for Vista:
How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
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

I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
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
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
