  • I bought a vista enterprise a few years ago that I installed on my laptop, now I need to re install the windows but unfortunetly I lost the original CD & also the key.

    Because I lost my original Vista Business CD & key, are there opportunities to get the key from your please side?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If I understand you correctly, Vista Business has been bought and installed by yourself and not preinstalled on your laptop when you bought it.

    If the above is correct and the laptop is still running you can use Key Finder programs to get the product key:

    Here are two of these programs:

    You can also borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed.

    The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  • The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista business product key

    Product key bad for the wrong version?

    Hello

    Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)

    http://S13.PostImage.org/57nfn5pqv/vistareg.jpg

    He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."

    How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.

    You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

    The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

    It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

  • Non-System Disk, press any key

    Hi, what it isi have a ST3500320AS. I was on the web site of Seagate and downloaded this ms-sd1autitity that checks the updates of your player. When he starts an application needs to open, but it does not work. What happens now, the Dell splash screen appears, the next screen said, "Non-System Disk, press any key". Well, I do this and the system boots. How can I get rid of this message disk not system. PS I used this "Download SD1A Firmware Update utility". Thank you

    Hi ejn63, yes my BIOS still sees the 2 hard drives. Hard drive 1 is Vista and Win 7 RC and drive 2 is, Win XP and a data partition. When I go to the messagec to press a key, it starts normally in my boot options, which gives me the ability to start in Win 7, Win Vista or Win XP.

  • My system (Vista 32-bit SP2) tried to install update KB980248 for several weeks, but I keep getting error code 80073712.

    My system (Vista 32-bit SP2) tried to install update KB980248 for several weeks, but I keep getting error code 80073712.  I tried to follow the directions on the site by running the system preparation tool update... did not work.  Then I tried to go back to a restore point and try the update again.  Yet once, didn't. I went back several restore points, but it has always failed.  I don't have an installation DVD, because it came with Vista preloaded.

  • After a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now. Also lost system tools/options.

    Original title: after a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now

    I had a virus which caused problems one of the minor being I've lost the system tools. It now says its empty when I open it.

    You don't need system defragmentation tools.

    You can defragment from the hard drive, then right-click of your hard drive, properties, tools, defragment now.

    Of course, you must fix your missing tools too.

    Here's the easiest way I know (thank you, Ramesh):

    Part of the answer to the technical support engineer Microsoft does not too which make me think that the MSE has never actually tested this Board to see if it actually works or not.  It's a shame.

    In addition, these shortcuts are not part in the folder in any case.  These things must go in the folder for all users - if you don't want your XP to be ignored.  It is a source of embarrassment.

    I don't know what you used to remove the virus, but I could do that at some point (soon):

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  • What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

    I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

    Original title: upgrade

    Hello WilliamPopat,

    If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

    However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

    According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

    Did you ever reinstalled your OS from Vista running on your system?  If you have a Windows Vista OEM preinstalled on your system and you have an external hard drive, it wouldn't hurt to go back to factory settings and transfer your data on.  You would eliminate several possible culprits in your system running slow.
