  Hello

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

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• The installer for Windows Vista is wrong...

  I was recently given an old "Lenovo Thinkpad SL500' with a failing HARD drive.  On the Palm of the laptop is Windows label that reads "Windows Vista Basic". I put in a disc of Windows Vista (x 86 version) and windows load, and to enter the serial number, it starts to install "Windows Vista Business" (perhaps the original owner updated the version of windows). At the end of installation, I go to activate and I like that it's the wrong version of windows for the serial number, hmmm... !  Think it should have been the version 64-bit (x 64), I perform the re - install, once again tell them he set up "Windows Vista Business" (64-bit version). Still, I get the same error message when you try to activate.

  Time to cheat, I re - install again, but don't get me the serial number, which then gives the option to select the version of vista to install, this time I select Vista Basic (32-bit and 64-bit later). Windows installed twice and both times it fails to activate, this time with the error "Enter a different product for activation key", and Yes, I type in the serial number from the label (which windows it is was brought off the coast of the COA), still with no success.

  Is it possible to say that Windows belongs to my serial number, or is it possible that the previous owner upgraded to a version of Windows 7 and changed the COA. ??

  Vista OEM integrators of systems and DVD retail are the same both contain the files for the editions of Vista that you mentioned, and that is the PK that determines which edition is installed.

  Unfortunately, there is no list to check a PK hand to see which edition it corresponds to the.

  Here is their information on it:

  In the case opposite & whereas KB971644 is NOT a security update, you can simply hide the "thing":

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

• Blue Screen installation updates (KB2419640) & (KB2478935) for Windows Vista

  I get the blue screen when I install the above, and this update was 12/01/2011 and continues to reappear after I restore the system to January 9. So I turned off auto updates but isn't this bad since I DON'T want to prevent remote control?  What can I do to fix these two updates. No blue screen before these updates, but as soon as I say yes to reboot on blue screen. What is a L1T (level a techie) to do. I need this computer until I get a job!

  Thanks to the intervention of Halima S... I'm ready to tackle this problem without restoring the system. My only concern is that this command deletes previous restore dates and that the option is permanently deleted. However, first I have to print the steps to follow for a clean boot and re-read. I will work from there... Still down thanks!

  Hi Apple2DellExperience,

  1. are you able to install some other updates on the computer?

  2. what was the message on blue screen?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  It is not recommended to disable the automatic update.

  These updates will be revived again after the system restore.

  I suggest that you manually download and install the update, check if it works.

  Also, make sure you disable all the third-party program installed on the computer during the update installation process.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 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.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• End of support for Windows Vista?

  I read on the website of mutiple Microsoft gives more updates for Windows Vista Home Premium after April 10, 2012. Is this true? On the official Microsoft page (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/products/home), it says: "Microsoft sells more than Windows Vista, although we will continue to support. It is still available from some retailers. " And when I look on the end of Support page (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/end-support), he said only that the support for SP1 had completed last year.

  So I'm a bit confused. I would be grateful is someone could clarify that for me.

  Hello remco8264,

  Please see the end of support for the OS to Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 at the following link:

  You wouldn't get updates for Windows Vista SP1, but if you install your service pack SP2, you will always receive updates.

• Error7 message about the signature unidentified, the upgrade and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows Vista.

  Original title: error upgrading and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows 6.

  I tried all kinds of ways to solve this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. This all started when I tried to update my iTunes to version 10.5. Then came the error message 7 on unidentified signature etc. I could not even run my iTunes more then. I started download iTunes again to repair and it just doesn't work. I don't have problems with the installation of my iTunes for the first time a year ago and upgraded whenever I allow it.

  All other methods I tried to correct the error includes:
  • Uninstall iTunes completely and everything that it supports the programs and files (Quicktime, supporter of Mobile, Hello, Safari etc.)
  • Download Quicktime separately after you have uninstalled it as suggested by other users in some forum.
  • Update the frame Microsot.NET as suggested by the Apple Support site.

  • Manually started the installation of such Windows program suggested by one of the answers on this site:

    a. click the Start button, and then type services.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.
    b. Locate the Windows Installer service.
    c. check that the status is started. If the condition column is empty,
    d. right-click on Windows Installer, and then select start.
    e. If you get error trying to force start the Windows Installer service, then try to change the Startup Type to automatic.
    f. restart the computer.

    I have tried for at least 10 times and I have not yet set and am frustrated. Would be really grateful a solution to this soon.
