I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?
If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop
If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.
A single license is a single Installation.
If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
See you soon.

Can I share all my photos in high resolution in Lightroom with other people who have creative cloud? If yes how can I do this? Is there a maximum amount of space that I can use? Others can add photos to the same place?
Hi alexn,.
If your subscription includes Mobile with Lightroom, you can create collections to synchronize the images needed and to make this collection public so that others can see these images although will not images high resolution.
Intelligent previews of these images will be synchronized.
Check this link for the tutorial:
Collections «Julieanne Kost's Blog»
You can also check out the tutorial to get started with Lightroom Mobile first:
Get started with Lightroom for mobile
How to start using Lightroom on mobile | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC tutorials
Although others may not add their photos in your collections.
And this can be done if you have the creative cloud subscription which includes Mobile with Lightroom.
Kind regards

"You can not configure Windows Mail to use an e-mail account on the Web (HTTP) on a computer that is running Windows Vista"
Windows Mail supports more HTTP servers that are used by Hotmail and other e-mail providers such as AOL mail, Google mail, Yahoo! mail Web.
Read the info on the link above to Microsoft re HTTP and Hotmail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the workaround from MS:
Use Windows Live Mail instead of Windows Mail
Windows Live Mail is an e-mail program that you install on your computer. Windows Live Mail stores messages on your computer. This means that you can access, read, and compose e-mail messages even if you are not connected to the Internet.
Windows Live Mail works with popular Web-based e-mail services such as Hotmail, AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail. Windows Live Mail is designed to configure automatically many popular e-mail services.
To install Windows Live Mail, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address.

When I stop my laptop and reboot I get the text next message on my screen of configuration updates to date 3/3 0% then it goes straight to 90% and stay like that for at least 6 hours. So, I'm on my login screen. I have a laptop Acer Aspire 2920. Then when I log in there is not problems that all programs work correctly.
Hello
It happens every time you start the computer?
If this is the only time where you received this message, then it is because updates is installed on the computer and gets set up when you start the computer.
If this happens every time that you start the computer, and then follow the steps below to solve the problem:
Method 1: Try in safe mode.
Step 1: Try to boot in safe mode and check if the problem persists:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode then I suggest that you put the computer to boot and see whether incompatible software:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: Configure the computer to normal startup by following step 7 from the link above.
Method 2: If above method does not resolve the issue, I would say that you are running the commissioning, repair and check if it helps to fix the problem:
