I recently started to get the message "this copy of Windows is not genuine", which is a little disconcerting for me. I have recently (April 20, to be exact) installed Service Pack 2 and I also recently installed new hardware, but everything worked without problem until today. Let me include some details on my system, and also what items of equipment have been replaced:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
Recently replaced hardware: motherboard, RAM, processor, power supply, chassisAs stated, things were aired as easily as they always until today, when I noticed that my office is transformed to a solid black color instead of the wallpaper I had already. Then I noticed an icon in the system tray indicating that I could click it to activate my copy of Windows; When you click on it, I gives me the message "the product key of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium you typed is invalid for activation." I've been running this copy of Windows for four and a half, and it has been installed on the PC that I bought directly from Dell, so I know that it is a legitimate copy. As my Dell OEM chassis has been replaced by a generic box (the new motherboard did fit properly into the exclusive Dell chassis), I do not have the sticker with the information of Windows, so I can't post it. I'll post the MGA information below; any additional necessary information is available, but I don't know what else could be required to post.
Information copied to my Clipboard of the MGA diagnosis tool are the following:

I prefer to get the version if possible upgrade from $80 it's cheaper. Cancellation of my driver's license means that it is no longer an option?
"I suggest you buy a Windows 7 license, that Vista is no longer sold."
As I recommended you it to my 1st answer you need to buy a Windows 7 license.
And the reason is that you now don't have a Windows license to upgrade qualification, as your Vista license is void for the reasons I have already explained to you in my previous to this topic answers...
And before you buy a license of Windows 7, follow these steps to check if your hardware and software is Compatible Windows 7.
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20
Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:
"Windows 7 system requirements"
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements
"Windows 7 Compatibility Center" for software and hardware:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx
And the Microsoft Store where you can get an idea of the price of Windows 7:

In windows Vista Basic how can I remove and resize the pagefile
Well I don't have this problem with any other os but vista Basic, well, when I try to delete the pagefile through advanced system settings and restart for some strange reason, the pagefile is still. I tried to move the swap file on a flash drive and that he did not either. How can I delete the swap file in vista basic? I'm trying to resize and make it bigger, but I don't want 2 small page-files only a principal to save the hard drive the work of reading back between the 2 of them.
You cannot delete the pagefile because Vista cannot function without it - and it is not necessary to do what you want to do. Yet, the size can be changed without requiring a multiple page files. Here is the procedure:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/understanding-windows-vista-paging-file-size/. NOTE: To get there go to start / Control Panel / System / advanced system settings / performance / settings / advanced / Virtual memory (instead of the way they tell you in the article). Then uncheck the box to let Windows manage and hoped that would be the input parameters (but I recommend you let Windows manage it - increasing, it's not really help this as much as you are strongly constrained by the amount of RAM)- but the decision is yours.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Home premium Windows Vista, 32-bit, cannot log in Mode without failure.
I got to help the customer. I want to delete some files from my registry and program files. They told me to restart in safe mode and then delete the files listed. I followed the instuctions to get in safe mode by pressing F8, everything as it says, but she begins just up on a regular basis. While I'm pressing F8 there is a signal from the Office Tower. Is there another way to get into safe mode? Thank you in advance.
You're pressed F8 too soon. You must just right time. Wait just after see you the screen to start the computer mftr. tap-tap-tapping, and then start it. If F8 does not work, then try F5. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Windows 8 is not through beta again, and still less as a definitive system. I try even now the installation of developer. He will "die" as soon as the beta is out.

I get an error rundll at startup... It is said c:\windows\wsaolich.dll How can I solve this
This happens whenever I start windows xp sp3
There is no file in Windows XP. This file was probably part of a virus or spyware infection that has been partially removed. Run a full scan for virus/spyware. If the problem persists, use the free Windows Sysinternals Autoruns tool to find and remove the reference to the file.

I wiped my pc and my windows vista. How can I get a copy, reinstall.i have the product code?
Hello
If Vista is preinstalled contact the Manufacter computer and ask them to send recovery discs; what they should do for a small fee.
And ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.
If you have not deleted this partition (you tell how wipe you the hard drive!) you press F10 or F11, etc at startup to start the process of relocation.
Ask the manufacturer for their combination of button to do this, if it is always an option for you.
