  I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer.  If yes how can I do this?

  If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:

  johncoxcpa,
  Well looking at the log you've posted, I came across this article:
  MSI (s) (2 c: D4) [22:29:29:073]: sequence number number for this installation system restore.
  This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
  c:\c17e5b6672c37d9f685b\Silverlight.msi

  So it seems that if your system has a software restriction policy installs.  You need to contact your IT Department. to learn about the changes to the policy will be to install Silverlight.

  Please let me know if it is possible

  Choice of installation for versions of 64-bit of Windows Vista consumer

  I do not recommend the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit with an upgraded version. on the contrary, I would buy a full copy of the operating system.

  Please see MSKB document, the relevant passage is the following, which tells me that it would be possible to upgrade directly from 32 bit to 64 bit if done properly:

  Upgrade of an operating system from 32-bit to a 64-bit operating system If you buy a updated version 64-bit of Windows Vista with the intention of installing on a computer that is running a 32-bit operating system, you must install Windows Vista by starting the computer from the 64-bit Vista installation DVD.
  
  Important Do not remove the previous operating system before you start the Windows Vista installation. This is because the Windows Vista Setup program verify that your current operating system license supports the installation of a 64-bit upgrade version.

• Up-to-date research problems and (tell the same) on my VISTA OS (64-bit)

  When I try to look for updates on my VISTA(64-bit) research updates the screen displays a big red shield in the window so I can't see or update updates pending

  I have Vista SP2 pemium. 64 bit OS my computer is a Toshiba Satillete (laptop)

  The last successful for windows update was on May 25,

  I would like ideas on how to solve this problem.

  Norma

  In update, find & select update options, the value of the manual (you decide which ones to install). In addition, most vista

  updates are 10/05/16, can be installed manually. In addition, open the event viewer, look for the event/WARNING

  for what update took place, chk its properties.

• the mouse jumps everywhere, do not stay in the same place in Vista

  my mouse (pointer) guard jumping around and I can't keep it in one place

  ·       You are using a laptop with a touchscreen?  Chances are good that you accidentally touch the touchpad while typing, and that moves the cursor.  Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are controls for adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad or to disable the touchpad while typing.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your and download the latest device drivers, firmware, and software for touchpad you and your mouse (if you also have a mouse - you may have to go the manufacturer of the mouse for these drivers, if she did not come with the system).  New updates can offer options that did not exist before like the ones I mentioned.

  This happened to me also and I bought a separate mouse and disabled the touchpad and the problem disappeared - but he had me past for awhile until I finally figured it out by typing differently (with my hands up higher so the Palms do not touch and had no problem).  Even if this isn't the problem, update the drivers, firmware or software can solve the problem on its own.

  If none of the works above, we will need either to run a complete troubleshooting procedures (post back and I'll meet with them) or the touchpad or mouse is defective and must be replaced.  You can discuss these last with the computer manufacturer when you talk to them (if you talk to them).

  I hope this helps.  If you have any questions along the way, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

  Good luck!

• Can I use Windows on 2 PC and activate with the same code?

  Windows on 2 PCs of the same Code

  Vista Home Premium

  Some clarification would be useful. But in general, you will need a license key by PC. If you bought a new PC and no longer intend to use the old, feel free to reuse the old key (depending on the time since the last activation you may have to do it by phone rather than online; any format in case you're giving away there). But in general, you are not allowed to use the same code on both systems at the same time.

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 updates

  I want windows to automatically download updates. I have my pc set to automatically download updates every day at 01:00. However, when I turn on my pc at about 09:00, he lets know me there are updates, but it will not install automatically. I install manually. As soon as I install manually, I get another notfication within 30 seconds, advising there is of new updates. Is there a way that my pc will automatically install updates without having to manually install every 30 seconds I? The update is called Windows vista service pack 2. If I continue to update when it warns me, there is no end to the amount of updates that 1 day ago. This can be corrected?

• Can I temporarily install an OEM version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on a virtual PC?

  original title: can I TEMPORARILY install a copy of OEM Vista home on Virtual PC

  I want to do a test run of my upgrade scheduled by using Virtual PC to make sure that I select the correct options which will not FUBAR my current system.

  To this end, can I take the drive provided by gateway labeled "Disk Operating System" and install on virtual pc by using the product key from the back of my PC, while at the same time that the current key is used to run the host operating system.

  I don't care about activation within 30 days, nor I care incidentally WGA (unless to do an upgrade installation), or even legality because of some stupid too restrictive EULA, I just keep can I do to make it work, then try to upgrade to 7 business to a second drive.

  When the tests are done, I'll delete the virtual machine and try it on the "live" system The problem is that I need to use the system with the keys that I use for these tests to do as I have nothing else not powerful enough to run Virtual PC for Vista/7.

  I'd rather FUBARing a virtual computer to the computer that I use to post on this forum. I don't want to take the risk of disabling the key on my current system because he thinks that I moved the key to a new.

  in fact, you were right for the wrong reason. It did not work with Virtual PC, but not for the reason you think. Setup requires a 64-bit computer.

  Makes me wonder, which actually means "virtual PC 64"? I thought I had the 64-bit version of VirtualPC.

  On the other hand, VMware Player had no problem with the installation. I put the virtual machine have no network card or any medium of communication. Also found it was a good thing that I was intending to double, as I can't upgrade with what I have. Or maybe it's because I have a not activate the installation I did.

  What I was trying to do, is check what to do a dual boot works the same way with Vista/7 as it does with previous versions of windows. I was thrown off the coast by warnings from installation CD on "this option does NOT keep your files. Audit confirmed through VMware Player.

  I install on a second disc with a backup of some files on what I decided to save the 80 GB for Linux drive. I wish it was an IDE hard drive, as I have much more need for a > 40 GB drive but<13Xgb (i="" can't="" recall="" what="" that="" bios="" limit="" on="" older="" computers="" was,="" it="" was="" 130-something,="" but="" some="" it="" was="" 127gb)="" on="" another="" older="">

  Ok. Microsoft Security Essentials is much better than Norton.

  It seems to work fine and is not my level of performance of Windows 7, it's big, it's free. I guess my next question is how much cost it to move to W7 home premium?

  All you need is a copy of the upgrade to Windows 7 Home premium. The price to

  and it's worth on this machine?

  This is, as always, a very difficult question, with different answers
  for different people. Here is my opinion:

  A change of the operating system should be driven by need, not only
  because a new version is available. You have a problem
  with Windows Vista you expect Windows 7 to solve? You have or
  expect to get new hardware or software that is supported in Windows 7.
  but not on Vista? Will there be a new feature in Windows 7 that you need
  or aspire to? Your job required that you have skills in Windows 7? Are
  you a computer lover who likes to play with what is most recent?
  If the answer to any of these questions is Yes (and your
  material is adequate for Windows 7), then you should get Windows 7.
  Otherwise most people should stick with what they have. There are
  always a learning curve and potential for problems when you take a
  not too big, no matter how wonderful everything you are
  contemplating moving to the East. Sooner or later, you will need to upgrade (to
  Windows 7 or its successor) because you want to support for hardware
  or software that you can't in Vista, but don't rush.

  I say all the foregoing despite the fact that I'm a big fan of Windows 7. I have
  It is the best and the most stable of all versions of Windows.

  considering that I should add more memory.

  Expected? If the performance of Vista are sufficient for what the computer
  is used, it will be probably at least as good as Windows 7.
  Unless you want to extend its uses, you probably have enough RAM.

• Update Windows Vista turns off my sound

  An automatic update of Vista took place on March 12, 2009 and after that my sound does not work (no matter what program was used).

  I used the system restore to choose a restore before March 12 point and this has restored the sound that works perfectly again.

  However, probably my automatic update system will soon install the same update to Vista and I will lose her again!

  My system seems to be (read from the Greek of invoice - all for me!):
  Bicoeur Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 processor
  with PCI-Express Nvidia GeForce card mother Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad Core MAXT
  with 256MB nVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - DVI TV - Out HDTV
  HD onboard card its 5.1-6 channels his cinema

  Can anyone help?

  Devonsarrie,

  Have you checked to see if you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer of your motherboard sound card and or computer? In addition, it is difficult to diagnose what exactly happens if he is yet to break. I could autoupdate once and see if you or do not have the same results with your sound on your computer. If he does go back, check your drivers and make sure you have the latest version. After that, we can find out what caused the pilot of its operation and how we can go fixing it.

  Thank you

• How to use the command shutdown in vista?

  I used the shutdown command to make sure that the computer is turned off at some point in XP, but I just wanted to put my own computer to shut down after accidentally booting to Vista Home in order to download a large file while I was at work.

  I tried shutdown-s t 9000, which should have set a time limit of two and a half hours, but he gave me the help screen message.
  I saw that the main difference is that dashes had been changed to slashes, but "shutdown /s /t 9000" also failed.

  What is the correct syntax to use the command? I confirmed that 'shutdown-s-t 9000' works very well in my XP virtual machine, if that is the new syntax to accomplish the same thing with Vista? I tried "run as administrator" to the command-line nothing helps.

  Hello
  It is the command to shut down the computer in Vista.
  SHUTDOWN [/s] [t / xxx]
   
  xxx/t:  The value of the timeout prior to xxx seconds. (The valid range is 0-600, with a default value of 30. The use of / t xxx implies the /f option.
   
  /s: Shut down the computer.
   
  /f: Force running applications to close without prior notice to users. (/ f is automatically defined when used in conjunction with xxx/t).
