• 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.

  Hi Hayekk,

  There are several things to try:

  ·      Remove and then reinstall the device:

  1. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click Bluetooth devices.

  2 Select the device that is not working, and then click Remove.

  3. click on Add, press the reset button on the unit (or make it discoverable following the manufacturer's instructions), check the box my device is set up and ready to be found and then click Next.

  4. If the device is not found, repeat the previous step. When the device is found, select it, and then click Next.

  5. follow the remaining instructions in the wizard.

  ·         Make sure that the device is on and that the batteries should be replaced.

  ·         Make sure that the Bluetooth adapter for your computer is attached and turned on, and that the device is in use and detectable. If you don't know how to turn on discoverability, read the instructions provided with the device or check the manufacturer's Web site.

  ·         The unit may be out of range of your computer, or too close. Try to move closer or a little further away from your computer.

• CAN´t find other computers on the home network Windows.

  I have a home network windows already defined with two desktop with Windows XP and a laptop with Windows 2000. The computers are connected to a router with ethernet cables and the lap top wireless (WiFi) to the same router. Now, I'm trying to connect a fourth computer (a desk top) with Windows Vista. It works fine to connect to Internet, but I can't reach the other computers on the network. On other computers, I can see a 'new', but I don't see the others of a "new". Can someone help me with the configuration of the computer "Vista"?  Thanks in advance.  / Thomas

  Hello
   
  To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
  a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
  (b) the value of the private network location type.
  c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
  d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
  e. consider using password protected sharing.
  5 using the network card.
   
  The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.
   
  To install LLTD, visit the following link and download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120

• Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI".

  Hello

  Need help with my Mail window. I can't export my message to the PST format. I keep getting the message error "an error occurred during initialization of MAPI". Y at - it solution or another method?

  Hi ErikLee,

  Do you have MS Outlook installed on your computer?

  Windows mail import and export opportunities are limited to an Outlook .pst file or an Exchange Server mailbox. They are available only if MS Outlook is installed.
  If MS Outlook is not installed and you start an import or export action, the necessary support files are not present for Windows mail complete the operation. Then I suggest you to install Outlook temporarily and see if the problem is resolved.

  Follow the instructions below and check if the problem is resolved.

  1. reboot your computer, and then start Windows Mail.
  2. on the Tools menu, click Options.
  3. in the connection tab, click on edit to open the Internet Properties dialog box.
  4. in the tab programs, click on an application other than Windows mail e-mail in the e-mail list. Click on apply and then click OK.
  5. click OK again to close the Options dialog box.
  6. exit Windows mail and restart Windows mail.

  If this does not work, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail to import or export messages that may help you resolve the issue.

  To download Windows Live Mail, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
  http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

  For more information about Windows Live Mail, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

• How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista

  How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista?

  Hello

  You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.

  Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.

  For more information you can check the link below: can I protect files or folders with a password? : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Can-I-protect-files-or-folders-with-a-password
