• Updates Windows needed me check that Windows is genuine, but I don't have my product key.

  Vista Premium check

  A few years ago, I bought a second hand PC... It has been a real installation CD of Vista Home basic. However, the computer is running on a Vista Ultimate. Recently I installed the updates, but I needed to verify the copy of vista installed in the PC. It's sad to say, I don't have the product key for the ultimate, but I still have one for the Basic Home Edition. Please help me what to do. I don't know the difference between the basic and premium. Will I get off just my OS to Vista Home Basic?

  In this case, even if the COA sticker is authentic, that's all that you have a license for

  The sticker looks like one of those who here?

  If Yes, then you can reformat and reinstall (after backup your data on external media) using the disc and key - and will end by (hopefully) with a legal basis Home installation.

  You can verify the key before you try - in which case I suggest ringing your local activation center from the list below and ask them about it. They should be able to tell you the story of the activation of the key, and whether or not it is currently ranked as authentic.

• I need to install windows on another computer, but I don't have a disc do - what I do

  Windows have been accidentally deleted from a computer and I don't have a disk to put it back on do - what I do

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• Need help with the formatting and reinstalling windows

  Hi, I have a Compaq Presario C700 p/n GR598EA #ABU I got to work about 3 years ago.

  Recently, it does not load windows, even in safe mode and I can't get back either.

  I used a disc to boot from linux to access and backup of all my important files and now I want to reformat the hard drive, resintall windows and start over (or try something else which will fix it)

  The laptop has been pre-installed with Windows Vista and HP stuff had already installed on it.  I don't have a Windows disc or discs of driver with the laptop.

  How can I format and reinstall windows and drivers, if I don't have records?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

• HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: I think I need to uninstall and reinstall the printer

  My printer started to print only if I turn it on, then go back on it.  I think I need to uninstall and reinstall the printer.  I have the CD, but not sure of updates.  This all started when my cable company came out to solve my problem of modem and saw that I was running my wireless printer.  He said that I should never do that, so I went back to USB.  When I did, the printer would not analyze.  I've switched back to wireless, but now I have the power problem.  Help!

  Hello

  Try the procedure described in this doc connecting the printer after change of your wireless network.

• I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

  I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

  If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

  If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• If I uninstall and reinstall PP pro CS5, will I have to reactivate it?

  PP pro cs5 is a problem, Ive tried everything to remedy this (see my post here) but now need to uninstall and reinstall in the hope of a cure - if I do, do I need to reactivate?  This isn't a problem if I do it, but I'm not connected to the net where he workstation is and will involve moving to the net access point which is a bit of a pain, as it is a big PC!

  Thank you very much

  Reinstall does not affect existing activations, but ssspecific circumstances can still trigger a validation control and require an online connection. You won't know until you try.

• I need to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Standard XI.  How can I go about it?  The original installation was a download and not a disc.

  I did a XI standard Acrobat installation last week but now have some problems.  I need to uninstall and reinstall the product.  It was installed on a download and not a disc.

  If you bought through Adobe, there should be a charge for it to download in your Adobe account online.  Otherwise, you might find a link to download through the following web page: download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X
