How can I request media for Windows Vista to re - install on my computer?
Re-installation of Windows Vista
Hello
The hard drive on my ispiron 530 has recently developed a fault and damaged my version of windows Vista.
One of my friends then installed a copy of windows 7, I think now is an illegal copy because it requires an activation key, that I don't have.
How can I get a copy of windows vista to re - install on the computer and I can use that came with my system activation key to activate it.
Thank you
Hello
Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.
Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.
Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer case will determine which Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.
PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:
If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...
You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.
If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.
If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

Our office has 10 licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro. One of our computers crashed so we want to deactivate the license and reinstall on a new computer. How can we check the serial number on Acrobat Pro installed on each computer to determine what serial number is now unused? I don't want to die with the computer software
Hi John,.
It is not possible to disable the license from one computer crashed or possible to check which serial number has been used on computer because they are encrypted.
A retail license is good to be installed on 2 machines. I checked your account and found 4 different serial numbers of Acrobat registered for your account.
It is always suggested to buy a volume license, if you have more than 2 machines instead of buy 4 different serial numbers.
I checked all the serial numbers entered and you have sufficient activation count remaining to cover all your machines.
Kind regards

How can I recover my deleted windows vista was installed on my laptop?
Hello world
I have a LENOVO 3000 v200 laptop. When I bought this, Windows vista had been installed on it. Accidentally, I formatted my hard drive. because I have no CD Win I loos my operating system. But I deleted my windows certification label (the certification is glued to the butoom of my pc) and so I have the product key. Can I get or download my microsoft windows? If so, exactly where?
You will need to contact Lenovo http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=YAST-3P2QYL to request a set of recovery disks. You can also have a recovery Partition that will also do the trick - Lenovo to ask how to access if you do, and if it is possible to make your own recovery disks and how to do in the circumstances. This is recovery Lenovo process - no Microsofts so that they are those who you must contact and obtain the required information and records. With these discs and your product key, you will be able to restore the computer to the original factory conditions.
I'm sorry, that we cannot help you more. Here is Microsoft's policy on replacement software:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246/en-us. There is no free download of Vista and Microsoft provide copies (if they even copies of Vista more). You have to deal with Lenovo to this situation.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
