I have windows vista without any sp and I learn that the support for sp1 a few days later purposes. Can I install sp2 without sp1?

And given that support ends for sp1 and ended last year for free from MS, windows update will not work for me as well as to download them?

Can I order the DVD of one or two of microsoft?

In http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Learn-how-to-install-Windows-Vista-Service-Pack-1-SP1

I found below the address for orders, but it gives access denial of my pc.  Is it valid?

https://OM2.one.Microsoft.com/OPA/validation.aspx?storeid=1a7e5dd8-0088-46ce-a7d3-8fa1ab523be0&LocaleCode=El-GR

I contacted the local support (Athens, Greece) but they can do nothing for me, they said that MS DVD are not available locally.

Hi Vassiliki,

Unfortunately, if the files are infected you may very well end up having to re - install Windows. However, there are steps in this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249694 to try to back up and restore Vista which may allow you to keep the programs you have.

Another alternative would be to called a upgrade on the spot if you are sure that the files are cleaned and the infection is gone this solution should leave your programs and data intact and repair the damaged parts of Windows.

  • The copy of Windows Vista is not genuine and will not accept the product key.

    Original title: my copy of Vista has just decided that it is more authentic and does not accept my product key. Why?

    Can you re - activate my product key or simply give me a product that works properly & constantly?

    If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.
