• Can I install a copy of Windows 7 retail and use the OEM key that came with my system to activate it?

  Help me asus laptop n55sf
  I bought asus n55sf notebook, The OEM OS (Windows 7 Home Premium) it comes preinstalled without any image or cd and I want to ask to download an original copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from microsoft using the key provided with the laptop

  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.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  Another option:

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

• Tecra 9000 - error message with Windows XP SP3 home edition

  Hello

  I have a Tecra 9000 in very good condition, until yesterday, I have no problem!
  After updating my Windows XP service pack 2 on the "service pack 3", everything works fine but when I press the button 'TOSHIBA controls' and 'mouse' for setting, Windows error message occure: "run a dll as an app"!

  Even if I go to "Start" and "Control Panel" and press the mouse, after setting close icon, or just simply do nothing (cancel), the same message! I did not notice any other problem with the TOSHIBA utility!
  My driver for mouse is "Logitech mouse ware, 9.40! Can you help me?

  This oldie works well with Windows XP SP2 home edition and in my opinion you should use without SP3. Try to remove the SP3, and I hope that everything will work properly again. Problem is that the old tools and utilities designed for Toshiba probably aren't tested and updated to SP3.

  I have more Satellite M70 and use sill with SP3. I don't want to risk anything and have problems.

• When you install Windows Vista on a laptop I get this error code 0 x 80070057

  I tried to fix & mobile friends for a while now & I have noticed that, during the installation of Windows Vista, it fails with a few different answers. The error code that showed, the majority being 0 x 80070057.

  The laptop is a MSI VR602 with a broken DVD player (I was the installation via USB) & other potential problems.

  A past remarkable repair I knew everything was the screen being smashed.

  However, when I saw if I could install it on my custom built computer installation flows well (I used the laptop HARD drive)

  I then tried using the disk HARD in the portable windows would begin not with success.

  I think that the cause could be the big difference in the environment.

  I formatted the HARD drive many times & installed via USB laptops with the same result.

  I also noticed another post that it is possible that the SATA connections could be blamed.

  Also at the start I noticed he said something like 'S.M.A.R.T. capable but failed the control unit'. When you check this on my computer, when starting my CHIP on my HARD drive just off computer & laptops.

  The HARD drive is a Western Digital WD2500BEVT.

  Windows Vista Home Basic final first version so that I could use the original serial code.

  I can't try it with an another HARD drive that I have not access to all.

  It would work if the installer has used the same exact files two mega & but there is no chance of this change.

  If someone happens to have a copy of the MSI files used on this computer is would be muched aprciated. (Sorry for the bad spelling)

  It is a 32-bit system.

  Another point is that when I tried to install Windows XP it installed for most, but crashed & had the problem with hal.dll file missing.

  Please post a reply if you know one. If you need information additional just ask.

  Don't worry, I managed to solve the problem. It's a corrupt installer. I have the laptop runs like new.

  5 restart the computer and then log on the computer of this administrator account.

  6. run the upgrade to windows 7.

  Error code 0 x 80070005 usually indicates that you don't have enough privileges or the operation is blocked. I know, some programs (Boot Camp on a Mac PC, etc.) is not compatible with Windows 7, if you have installed these programs on the computer, you may not be able to perform the upgrade.  You should uninstall these programs before upgrading. In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

  BTW, for your references, I found similar questions:
