Help! ssf Vista Dell gx620 OS does not activate
Hello
Im not the best when it comes to the ins & outs of computers and this looks like the kind of place, I could get some advice so here goes...
I bought this machine off ebay and it came with windows 7 64 bit pre-installed and recovery disk. I tried to activate this software belarc to get the license key. No luck. Im getting error 0Xc004e003 code. I have also no option to activate by phone, only by typing a different key.
I thought I'd give my copy of Vista 32 bit with my computer dell laptop a go is a partition of hard drive, installed Vista but do me the same error code when you try to activate.
I was thinking about the copy of Win7 already installed can be a bit dodgy, but my copy of Vista is 100% authentic. I read a few posts here similar to that who advise to buy a copy of win7 OEM, I understand, but I have an OEM Vista copy... and its not working.
Am I missing something here? Any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
I highly doubt that there is a legal copy of Windows 7.
And this office is very old, the only valid windows which can be installed on it are XP. The GX620 goes back to the days of Windows 2000.
Dell has no Vista drivers for this model.
I'm not in the least surprised that Vista is not activated on this PC.
If I were you, I would stay the PC.
If you don't want to go back to the PC, you will need to buy a real copy of Windows 7, or install Linux on it.

Hi, Tractor1o1,
If you choose to protect all programs, you can always turn off DEP for individual programs. If you think that a program does not run correctly when DEP is enabled, check for a compatible version of the DEP program or an update from the software publisher before you change your DEP settings.

Hi, I have an Acer laptop Aspire with Vista Home Basic Edition that came pre-installed, so no records only the disk hard drive partition.
I turned on my laptop today and it starts but the loading bar of stalls at the black screen with "(c) Microsoft Corporation" and dragging green. The slide bar will continue to drag, but nothing else happens which means that I understand even as much as the login screen. I rebooted and tried Windows recovery, but the only remedy to what he suggests is a restoration of the system, which does not have any point, I try to restore it.
To remedy this, I have connected in safe mode and ran the SFC command prompt. It scans my system and told to find corrupted files, but he can't heal some. This is where my knowledge limit runs out. I don't know how to fix the files that the SFC cannot. (Also I created a journal using the findstr command prompt and checked but it say anywhere that it was unable to fix it so I'm not even sure how to identify corrupted files)
As it's an Acer laptop, Aspire I'll try their eRecovery tool to return my computer to factory settings, but it won't work in safe mode, and as I said I can not connect normally. I tried alt and F10 at the initial boot screen when I turn on, it loads the windows files and shows the Acer "Please wait a moment" screen and then nothing happens again.
I can't afford to get it fixed, and there is no chance I can get a new laptop. Any ideas/help? Thank you.
