• Help with error message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation.

  Original title: help with error message... Please...!

  I use a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6202.uk with Windows Vista Home Premium & Microsoft Office 2003.  When I am back from vacation & turned on my PC, my password was OK, but rather to raise Windows, I received the following message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation.  He then listed the following options: "access your computer with reduced functionality (this will allow you to buy a product online key)" or "Type a different product key" or "contact HP to help solve this problem."

  I have no idea what a product key is and don't have anything either in the type comes to connect as usual.  I can't access anything to be same to reduced functionality.  I can not type in a new product key because I did not.  I can not contact HP - phone number does not... !!

  I'm quite desperate, I travel docs to print and e-mail to answer and I don't have any idea what is happening.  Please can someone help with this not very IT clued-up DTP...!

  Moved from Vista programs Forum.

  You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover.  I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it.  If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

• Error message: "CARDS.dll is missing from your computer", when reinstalling Freecell.exe

  Original title: Reinstall Freecell.exe and CARDS.dll

  I permanently deleted freecell.exe from my computer at home about 3 months ago since I played him too much. [It is not in the Recycle Bin, but permanently deleted.]

  It may be slightly addictive, see.

  Now I want that he return!

  I copied freecell.exe of my employer's computer to my home computer, but whenever I click on the icon, I get the message error "CARDS.dll is missing from your computer."

  I looked for where I could get this dll on the net file, for example, Microsoft, but only get directed to sites who want to scan my registry until they give me the download, and I'm just wary of them and their peers.

  I guess my basic question is: how to find a good copy of the CARDS.dll file and put it in the right place on my home computer.

  I have my original purchase recovery discs, but I hesitate to start with there rooting.

  Thanks in advance.

• Reinstall Windows 7 Home Edition Basic, is not installation media

  Original title: can someone help me

  I have WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC 64 - bit version of license with key in my laptop. I want to reinstall my windows but don't have CD or DVD.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Maximally connected in a workgroup - Windows 7 Home Edition basic members

  I use Windows 7 home Basic, I would like to know if I create a working group, which is the maximum number of systems I can connect... What is the limitation of members of connection windows 7 Home Basic to the working group.

  Thank you

  Kind regards
  Rocky.SMF

  Might ask two questions. There is no limit to the number of machines that can be in a working group. However, it would be impractical to a perspective of bandwidth management and computer network. Once you get more than 8-9 machines, it's time to focus on the implementation of a domain with a real server.

  What you really know is the limits of simultaneous incoming connections to a pseudo-server. While limitations exist in Windows 7, just as they do in XP and Vista, I can't find an article in the Knowledge Base of MS indicating their. In XP and Vista, the limits are 5 for Home editions and 10 for Professional editions / Business. Autour Googling, I found the Thurrott comparison chart that shows that all editions of Windows 7 have a limit of 20 connections:

  http://www.winsupersite.com/Win7/win7_skus_compare.asp

  Please note that the limitations are on cGeoConnections and no computers or users . Each computer can - and often do - make multiple connections to a server nickname of.

  If you want more help, please describe your scheduled install and your end goal. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Satellite P200: Cannot open the Power Saver - fatal error in Windows XP Home edition

  Hello

  I just installed XP and I came across a problem that is boring. When I finished to install Power Saver and the driver, I got a message saying fatal error and I thought it was because I haven't restarted. Then, after only a day or 2 later I went to the energy saver and he said cannot open because you don't have access rights to "Toshiba Power Saver.

  Is there a solution to this
  Neo-Tech

  Hello

  I put t know if this is a solution but try my proposal:
  First of all, remember that you are registered as an administrator or make sure that you have administrator rights.

  Remove your old system energy saving. You must remove the driver and utility.
  Then reinstall the computer and clean the registry using the freeware like CCleaner.

  Then install the driver of saver of power and after reboot the new install standby power plant.

  I hope it helps

  I have a laptop Tecra S5, I deleted some old programs for card readers.
  Now, sound does not work and starting the PC, windows starts and I get the message: "Error THotkey" this audio diviece is not supported.

  Who knows, what did you do with stuff pre-installed. THotkey has nothing to do with the old programs for card readers, but it is very important tool of Toshiba.

  Did do us all first to know what is the status of the sound card in Device Manager. Sound card installed and registered correctly?
