• Invalid key for Activation product: reformatted PC from Windows XP to Vista Home Basic

  Our computer was initially using Windows XP. After a few problems which included the same office not loading, we have reformatted it and used Windows Vista Basic Home Edition because the CD with our Dell Inspiron 6000 had compatible drivers for Vista. Now the problem is 30 days elapsed is activation thing and now my computer is in reduced functionality mode (I had no idea it would happen). Windows does not accept the product key for XP. What should I do now?

  You need a valid product key for Vista - Vista product you purchased should have (but it seems that you did not actually buy a Vista product for the PC).  If you used a Vista CD from another computer that doesn't have that Vista is installed, you cannot use this product key the key can be used on one computer at a time.  You need to buy a disc of Installation of Vista with a product key (or just a product key valid).  Frankly, I don't know where you can get one of those these days.  Microsoft Store is not wearing it.

  The only other choice is to reinstall XP. Contact the manufacturer and they may be able to sell the recovery disc for a small fee and you can use those with the product key of Xp on the computer to restore the conditions of the factory as a Xp computer.

  Sorry we can not help you more, but these are the options.  You can try searching Google and Bing for people selling copies of Vista (but don't forget that they are copies of the retail and not OEM copies - or even with the product key they selll you you will not be able to activate because and OEM license is only good on the computer on which the software has been installed initially and cannot be transferred to any other computer).

  Good luck!

• Downgrade from Windows 7 to vista?

  I've heard say that if you buy Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit you can it downgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, up to what you want to switch back and use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It would be useful for me because I run Avid Media Composer, and it is licensed to run on Vista Ultimate 64 bit at the moment. So if this was true then it save me buy vista and I could just buy Windows 7 up to greedy approved windows 7 for Avid Media Composer running. I really need an official answer to this question.

  Thank you

  You heard wrong (unless the manufacturer of the computer tells you otherwise).

• How downgrade from Windows 7 to Vista?

  I have windows 7 on this computer, can I download Vista online on a disk to reinstall on another computer

  * original title - trying to fix another computer *.

  Hello

  There is no available free and legal Vista download

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista on another computer

  Contact the manufacturer of the computer if vista is pre-installed on the other computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on that drive to be given to the way in which you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Acer laptop wireless, Linksys router and connect Lexmark X 9350 wireless network.

  I'm tired... I tried everything I can think of, as well as everything I can find online in order to connect my printer Lexmark X 9350 WiFi for my Acer laptop which is connected to my home network wireless via my linksys router. At the same time, the printer has been set up through my existing wireless network and was working properly. (FOR A SINGLE DAY!) Then I got the bright idea to installNorton Anti Virus Security. Since then, my printer stopped working through the wireless network. It works as a stand-alone Copier and fax machine, but nothing of the printer.  I contacted Lexmark via online support, but their suggestions did not work or were so confusing that it would take a computer technology to interpret the instructions to correct the problem. I learned more about the Wi - Fi networks and computer by trial and error, I should be able to re - connect my printer the eyes bandaged.  Help, please... This problem is ongoing for weeks. Thank you so much in advance.

  Just a thought, as you say it started with Norton check his firewall exceptions:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

  Permissions/Share info is there as well.

  If you use Norton, make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

  See you soon.

• HELP ME PLEASE ANSWER, STOP INCITEMENT ON SEVERAL UPDATES OF WINDOWS FOR MY VISTA HOME BASIC 32-BIT SYSTEM... Thank you!!!

  DEAR MICROSOFT DO - WHAT I DO OR HOW TO STOP THE INSTIGATION OF WINDOWS UPDATE TO IE9 AND PROTECTION OF MOST RECENT ESSENTIALS? I KNOW MY WAY AROUND COMPUTERS, BUT I NEVER GOT AN UPDATE THAT I DID NOT ACCEPT. PLEASE ANSWER, THANK YOU FOR KINDLY, JAYBIRD

  Hello Jay Drury,.

  I guess that you do not want the updates, etc, IE, IE9 to display in the list of available updates? The easiest way to do this is to 'hide '. By hiding their they won't prompt for installation.

  1. click the Windows Start button.

  2. on the start menu, click the control panel option.

  3. in Control Panel, click the Windows Update icon.

  4. once the Windows Update window opens, click on the option "check for updates".

  5. because you have not installed THE 9 Essentials protection Windows updates and indicates that updates are available.

  6. now, you need a list of the available updates. Do you this by clicking on the option marked "recommended updates or optional updates (don't remember not the exact wording, but something like that).

  7. the list of updates will now appear.

  8. right click on the update of IE 9, and in the menu drop-down, click Hide.

  9 do the same for the other updates you want.

  10. the 'hidden' update will not now be dispalyed and you will not be asked to install.

  Also when posting to the forums, you must use lowercase instead of uppercase. Uppercase is equivalent to shouting.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  Hello

  My personal opinion is that you buy a more recent machine as Vista Basic came on machines that have the material basis for it requirements.

  Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

  There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

  Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.
