• Use the product key OEM with Windows Vista fresh install

  Hello. I got my Acer Aspire 5517 laptop for my birthday a few years ago (with Vista pre-installed). A genuine OEM product key is located at the bottom of the laptop. How can I use it with a new installation? Or can I somehow get an ISO or CD OEM Microsoft's file, or download it online somehow? Please don't tell me to upgrade to Windows 7, as I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend right now. Thank you!

• Lightroom told me that my serial number is invalid and won't let me use the product.  I have the correct serial number.

  I had to reinstall the operating system of my computer and reinstall Lightroom.  I enter the serial number that I pulled the web on the Adobe site (also checked it w / enamel from Adobe), but he said that my serial number is not valid.  I have a delivery time of some images tomorrow and I can't use the software.  Waiting for a response, Adobe and nothing happens to them.  What can I do?

  Use Google and search for downloads of Adobe Lightroom update. Then, go to the Adobe download site and download the latest version of the RL, serial number, you have.

• Can't use the product key, because 2 of the numbers/letters have rubbed off and I can't read them. What should I do?

  My computer crashed and now I have to put in my product key for microsoft. The only problem is that 2 of the numbers/letters have rubbed off and I can't read them. What should I do?

  Original title: product key

  Option 1:

  If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

  Option 2:

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

  Option 3:

  If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  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.

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".

• Failed to load XP on the same computer using the product key on the case of the CPU.

  I uninstalled XP and tried to load Window 7 s. had driver problems. Let down. Now I can't reinstall XP on the same computer using the product key on the case. I get a message "invalid Key". It's a Dell PC 6 years, if that matters.

  As I said, you will need the manufacturer's recovery disk, or disk OEM System Builder.

  Do you have which drive tried to use?

  You may be able to borrow a disk OEMSB from a friend - or you may be able to order the Dell recovery disks (they are cheap).

• I deleted win7, but I don't completely deleted im trying to install xp but it won't let me tells me there is an error

  I deleted win7, but I don't completely deleted im trying to install xp but it won't let me tells me there is an error

  Why would you want to remove Win7?

  Anyway, if you go through the steps to install XP via boot from the installation CD, this would include removal of the partition containing Win7, then create a new one and install XP on it. If you did that and instead deleted manually the files in Win7, so yes you can get an error.

  Can you tell us how you "deleted win7" and says that the error?
