  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:

• I get a pop up asking that I want to install Windows 8. I have Windows Vista and have no idea of what is Windows 8. Do I have to install it or not?

  I have Windows Vista, but I get a pop up asking me to install Windows 8.  I'm not a computer Wizard, LOL.  I use my computer for basic, surf, talk to friends and to the these.  Do I have to install it or not?

  Hello

  There is no such thing as Windows 8. Maybe it's spyware so leave well alone. First of all I suggest you do a complete virus check of your system. I assume that your system has antivirus software to protect your system?

• I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now my wireless does not work.

  Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .

  original title: Wireless problems after install.

  I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help

  Question...  You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?

  While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.

  You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included.  This could be a hardware problem PURE.

• Try to install Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, but says I have already installed

  I have problems of fixing a friends computer.  He is currently running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 with the OEM sticker on the bottom with the key, but he lost the installation discs.  To help make repairs, I have a valid Windows Vista repair disc and the Ultimate Boot CD on two different USBs.  The symptoms are:

  Three addons will install successfully, I restart, and they are uninstalled back again.  The installed updates window shows nothing.  I have the CBS.log newspaper and the CheckSUR.log if you do not want to see them.  There are a lot of mistakes in both of these balls

  If I download service pack 2 manually and try to install it, it says I need to install service pack 1 first.  If I download SP1 manually and try to install it, it says I already have service pack 1 installed.  If I try to install KB947821 it hangs the first time 75% and crashes to zero then.

  The machine has problems with the .net Framework.  I noticed that programs seem to corrupt and the only way to fix it is to clean the .net Framework and reinstall it.

  The computer has recently been scanned with a full scan of Norton and no errors found.  There is no antivirus or active windows security options because I was trying to get the updates to install.  I'm in safe mode with network currently.

  Things I've done:

  I read a lot about this problem with a recovery partition.  My recovery partition was the flag of boot top, so I spent my drive main and then booted from the disk to repair Windows Vists the flag and ran the Startup Repair.  He set up the main drive of OS as the boot partition, but that does not solve the problem.

  In order to exclude any form of corruption of MBR, I wiped the MBR and ran the /fixmbr tool to restore the MBR.  This does not seem to help anything either.

  There is a tool to repair WIndows Update, called a "Microsoft Fix it." I ran this in normal and aggressive modes without change.

  Please let me know what information you want.  I tried it for awhile and I don't think I'll get it without help.

  Hi Jeremiah,.

  Based on the information provided (especially errors in the CBS logs), there seems to be several packages in Windows that are damaged or corrupted. They could become this way through several scenerios (3rd party program interaction causing files to be moved or deleted, antivirus software can make a mistake of components to update valid as malicious, or even malware infection). Currently, there are a few options.

  You could try manually repair all the packages that are in your CheckSUR report and then try to run the updates again.

  Perform a upgrade in Place to attempt to repair the components.

  Perform a clean installation to repair all the features of the operating system.

  All these choices are not the largest road to go down, unfortunately at this stage with the damage caused to your system, these are the few options left to fix.

  Hello

  If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

  It is part of the upgrade process

  and also read this on licensing rules;

  If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

  The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a retail Windows license, 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.

• Does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista on a Satellite M40-129?

  Hello
  does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista (Business) on an M40-129? Any suggestions on the proper drivers and advice are welcome.

  Best regards
  Sascha

  Hello

  I have an owner of the M40 motorway m but I didn t install Vista on my laptop.
  Why? good Vista needs a lot more material resources like the XP.
  In addition many additional applications that are running on my system are not compatible with Vista.
  Last but not lease I didn t find the drivers of Toshiba for the M40 on the Web site.

  I think that the drivers Vista missing on the page is not a problem serious because important factors as driver graph, sound driver, lan and Wlan driver can be downloaded from the website of chip manufacturing.

  Anyway, if you want to install Vista on your M40 I would create an additional partition and install the OS on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES; XP and Vista.

  To my knowledge the Vista installs a clean boot manager and it should be very easy to switch between XP and Vista.

  Best regards

  Good bye

  Hello
  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
   
  By design, the game is not compatible with windows7.
   
  You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.

  Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.

  I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.

• Windows media player; I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video is very good

  I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video plays very well.  The mpeg file may was converted from another format mpeg before do me.

  Hello

  1. are you able to play the other mpegs successfully?
  2. what version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  I suspect that the file is corrupted.

  Method 1.
  Check if you can play the same video in a different media player.

  Method 2.
  You may need to check if the codecs work very well to play the file. Check if you have installed third party codecs. Uninstall them and re - install and then check.

  I hope this helps.
