• Our version of Vista Ultimate is not authentic, how we improve our used computer is authentic?

  1. How can I make our version "authentic" on our desktop home computer? We do not plan on buying another used computer ever! Or should I say let someone else take advantage of us!
  2. Yes, whenever I 'boot' it prompts me to "activate now OR later" I was told to choose activate later... But since we launched this person out of our House, I can't ask for his help.
  I sincerely hope that 'Microsoft may help out me on this activation', we don't have any extra money to buy a new operating system or any updates at this time. I am eager to find even a part-time job in January, after the holidays. This computer could be used for this purpose.

  Happy holidays
  Thank you for your quick response,

  The key used here is the default key.

  You must change the product key to the one on the COA sticker on the case of the machine (or in the battery compartment), using the link change the key of product at the bottom of the system properties page.

  You may need to activate by phone.

  Hey NicholeLewis

  every computer manufacturer has their own way to start the recovery process to put it on the back to factory standards

  It can be F8 and select repair your computer or F10 or F11 at startup to start the process

  0 or Alt + F10

  you will need to ask the manufacturer for the correct key sequence

  also you can ask them to send you recovery discs to back to factory standards

  load it normally a nominal cost for this

• How to restore a virtual computer to another computer using Backup Exec virtual

  Hi all

  I tested VMware 3.5.  We have little budget, so we intend to convert 5-10 dev servers into virtual machine running on an existing ML570 HP.  I created a test VM; I could back up and restore the entire virtual machine using Backup Exec to a physical server without problem.  However I can not restore a virtual machine to a different VM.  Let's say I dv01; I backed up using Backup Exec dv01 on the physical server.  Pretending the host has no I have rebuilt a new host, created a new virtual machine with the same name dv01 and same features.  I restored dv01 from the backup.  The restoration is properly; However, he got a blue screen when I rebooted the virtual computer.  The blue screen went so big that I don't remember what it was, but it's the kind of a dll error.

  We want to keep the budget as small as possible using our existing Backup Exec agents, but it doesn't seem to work here.  Is Backup Exec for VMware agent a MUST?  Catering to the same VM is good, but restore to a different VM is not so simple.

  THX.

  As you can see in http://www.vmware.com/products/vi/buy.html, VCB is included in all editions of VI 3.5.

• imaging system in Windows xp and how to restore another different computer?

  I have a pc that works regularly, and some PCs are have the problem. I want to create the system image on pc that work and restore it on the other pc that do not work.
  help me pleas...

  As you might gather reply TrekDozer, restoring an image to different hardware is not a trivial task.  However, outside legal issues, software Acronis True Image (what creates disk images) can be supplemented by a feature that Acronis called "Universal Restore."

  Acronis claims (I have not used it myself):

  Ability to restore on a different - material Regardless of the brand, model or installed components of your new computer, Plus Pack restores all its good and due form.

  Acronis True Image Home 2012 is $ 49.99 and the module additional Plus Pack is $ 29.99.

• How to restore mail using Time Machine data

  Sunday my iMac that runs 10.8.5, had problems with Apple Mail. Email correctly loaded at 7:30 and was fine, but at 6:30 I opened the program to retrieve e-mail. The program crashed. I restarted the program and it quickly crashed again. After a 3rd reboot it crashed again. I restarted the iMac and when I tried to start the Mail, he acted as I've been setting up Apple Mail for the first time, wanting my e-mail address and password.

  I thought there is a data file that creates that so corrupted Mail, you can go back in time Machine and restore it. OSX does not allow me to change the Mail or restore from Time Machine, it gives me an error message that Mail is part of the OSX system and cannot be changed.  I have 5 email accounts that keeps track of the mail and so far it has only one account setup. I would like to restore all the email accounts to backup Saturday night before all this started.

  Is there a way to do this? Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

  John boubacar diallo

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Quit the application.

  In Finder and hold the option/alt key while clicking on the menu item Go. Select the library. Then go to the Mail folder. Enter Time Machine and restore this file.

  If this does not work, there are additional e-mail folders in Library/Application Support, covers and containers.

• Satellite L500 - how to restore the menu "repair your computer"?

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Toshiba L500, Yestaday I tried to restore the system to the factory settings (by pressing F8 at startup high and choose "repair your computer"). In the system has been installed almost, but at a stage of installation drivers to read memory cards and similar - there was a failure (the blue screen and need down) - after that - Windows 7 is not loaded. parsing errors (by means using a floppy disk to another Windows 7 install) says that the registry is damaged, cannot repair.

  but the main problem - when you press F8 at startup upward - there is no MORE menu 'Repair your computer' (!) . It is impossible to start Windows 7 predefined. So there's the hidden sector containing Windows predefined (I saw when loading a disc of hatch - Total order could start - and hidden sector was visible). All files in drive recovery HARD necessary are also available.

  How to restore the menu "repair your computer"? or how it is possible to start Windows predefined without pressing F8?

  > Hidden article exists, I saw it, there are all the files recovery HARD drive (which was in the laptop after buying), but I can't begin to recover Windows because I don't have menu not 'repair your computer' to start the laptop. He disappeared...
  Of course, the flag in the Advanced Start menu seems to be deleted and therefore drive recovery HARD option isn't available anymore.
  Probably the partition has changed.

  But in case of HARD drive recovery files are still available on the recovery partition, you can try to create the USB support of own recovery using of workaround:

  2. Close all programs.
  3. Click Start , click principally made programs , select System Restore and click on the PC recovery .

  NOTE: any software "trial offer" has been included in the original factory image, it will be reinstalled, but it won't work (the test period will have expired).  If so any trial software is a security antivirus software or others, before connect you to the Internet, you must uninstall (using an uninstall tool provided by the manufacturer if available antivirus software) and then install your own anti-virus software.  So, you should download the uninstallers necessary and installers (or buy the software on CD) using another machine before starting this project.

• I know how to restore my computer to an earlier date, HOW THEN I CLEAR DATE I DON'T WANT?

  I know how to restore my computer to an earlier date, (how to clear the dates I'm not?)

  See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

  This article describes how to use the System Restore tool to restore your computer to a previous state. System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.
