I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now.
I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now. I understand that the original CD would have been pre-activated and this one isn't. I don't have the original disks and the computer did not have a recovery partition. I used an original cd of OEM Vista Home Premium x 64 make the re - install. When I try to activate windows, there is no option to not activate by phone and when I try to change the key he said is not a valid Vista key, if it is the original on the case. I tried to use slui.exe 4 to get the activation of the phone, but I had the screen normal activation that I'm used to without phone option.
After talking with Microsoft, I am very pleased and impressed by their service.

I just reinstalled XP pro and I can't get the updates from the windows update web site. Whats up with this please help
There is no way that anyone might be able to help without more. My initial guess and it is just a guess, is that you have to update Internet Explorer .v8. Click HERE and download IE8 and install it. Try again updates once the installation is complete.

I had photoshop CS6 on my old computer, but my computer died so I had to replace it. How can I get a new activation code to download photoshop on my new computer?
Hi amyt19136080,
I suggest to connect to Adobe.com and check the serial number on the site, if you had registered the serial number on the old computer.
Also if you still have CS6 box with you, please try to look on the box.
Kind regards

Is it possible to plug a USB to my new iPad Pro, to transfer PDF files and some Jpeg files from the USB key with an adapter of lightning? If there is NO adapter, how can I get these files on the USB key and my iPad pro? I need these PDF files transferred my I touch pro. Any suggestions? Please
Thank you
Mike Tingey
The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

Problems with wifi, I have a wifi extension in my house and I can not connect
Original title: Wifiproblems
Problems with wifi, I have a wifi extension in my house and I can't connect it, I try with support but it did not work. It's a shame in a new tablet to have this problem
It only happens with the tablet surface, not with other devices
It's an easy way to solve
I saw a similar situation in forum wireless, they have solved the 'limited' problem by disabling the Extender, and then turning turn it back on. He solved their problem, and it is easy to try. I hope it works for you.

I've had my laptop for several years and a week ago, the hard drive crashed. So, although I had all my photos and movies and other saved, I lost Vista. This wouldn't be a problem if I could find the disks that came with the computer at the beginning, but I've moved several times in recent years (college) and I can't find them. Anyway, I'm now trying to get in touch with Microsoft to get a new drive, but they won't talk to you unless you can provide a product key.
There is a product key on the back of my laptop, but their system apparently doesn't like it and so they're going to make me pay $ 50 just to send someone. Someone knows how to bypass the product key thing, so I can get a customer support?
Thank you
ChandraHello
as vista came preinstalled Microsoft do not offer FREE support for this issue of yours. That is why the price of $50.
and they ask for a product ID, not a product key that you mentioned; but who has the same result; no free support
Product ID is completely different from the product key
your support is the manufacturer of your laptop; but feel free to ask questions on these Forums
to reinstall vista:
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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 $
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

Almost every day for the last 5 months or so, I try to get online and a "local only" or "limited connectivity" appears when trying to connect to my wireless internet. It seems to do this whenever I try to get when another computer is also about that. By example, if my mother found on the internet on his computer and I try to get on the internet too it does this thing 'local only' and I can't connect and it launches my mother of the internet too (she also has windows vista). This seems to be a common problem with vista. I don't understand all this technique _ so if you know how to fix it please don't try "computer talk" with me-keep simple or explain in detail.
