I lost my Windows Vista Premium SP1 CD!

Yes as the title: I lost my Windows Vista Premium SP1 CD! But I still have my product key. What should I do?

Oh Vista Home premium!

Hello

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    ·        If the system is recharged using the DOS version you retain the eRecovery feature

  • Can I save on all windows vista premium updates that failed?

    I am using windows Vista Premium, as mentioned above, and I have updates that have failed up to two years.  I started with 'SP1' and I migrated to "SP2" despite the large number of updates failed.

    I also have a large number of chess updates for Office 2007 and a few others.  I should probably mention that my original Vista Acer drive has been moved (probably lost).  I'm operating a valid OS despite self made. and manuals windows license verification work.  In the end, it seems that these updates failed eventually cause problems.
    Translate... Can I just start their withdrawal in reverse order?
    Please advise, I'm at whits end!
    Greetings to all,
    mddocoh

    Means failed, that updates have not been installed; so there is nothing to remove.

    You could try to reset the update components and see if that helps

    But if you can borrow a microsoft dvd vista not acer hewlett-packard or the like discs of recovery of a friend or relative you might try to install vista in this way using your product outside of the laptop case key to install the family version correct vista premium of the dvd, and then go to acer and get the right drivers for your computer laptop model number

    Just make sure you get the good dvd vista

    There are two microsoft vista DVD produced is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit

    most of the computers came with 32 bit installed unless he asked a 64-bit

    and if you happen to also have a recovery on your computer partition acer laptop, you can start the recovery to factory standards by pressing Alt + F10 at startup

    There used to be a password you need to enter too

    It was 5 or 6 zeros

    If necessary, contact acer for this information

  • Get rid of the error flash ocx with Windows Vista Premium

    How can I get rid of a "Flash ocx" error on my system? I run Windows Vista premium.

    THX,

    Joel

    Hello


    Where do you find that flash ocx error?
     
    Method 1 : uninstall and reinstall the Flash Player and check if the problem occurs.

    Method 2 : run the clean boot and see if the problem still occurs.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: Follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Hope that helps.

  • Unable to load microsoft highway with windows vista premium - sound happens with your registry settings were not copied correctly

    I recently bought Microsoft Highway to put on a laptop that operartes Windows Vista premium. After loading when you try to use the software, it comes up with "your registry settings for this application were not copied correctly-..." Please reinstall

    Any guidance would be appreciated

    Thank you

    You are welcome.

    A word of warning:
    I guess you knoe the potential dangers of do NOT turn UAC.
    Suggest you turn back on UAC when you do not run the highway.
    There is an opposite camp insisting UAC is 'nuisance, at best', but it's something else, unrelated to your problem.

    Let me soce entry details:

    1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
    It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
    2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
    3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
    That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

    Ive just ordered a "Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit English 3pk DSP 3 OEI DVD" from amazon, and just realized, I need an OEM preinstallation Kit. And that I bought comes with 3 DVDs and 3 OEM.

    You don't need the Kit.

    Install in the usual way:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
