Installation VISTAon new rig.

I built my own equipment 2 years ago.  I had to return the kit, motherboard, RAM and CPU to COMPLETE. That is to say that I bought it.  Now I don't know what I have to do to install VISTA in my new configuration without getting penalized.

If Vista was an OEM license, it is non-transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

  • Why force Adobe installs their new Flash drive when it is originally from the browsers play not video?

    Why force Adobe installs their new Flash drive on billions of computers when it is causing so many browsers only play video?

    I had installed the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 28/03/2012 and it worked very well, unlike some of the previous Flash players in several web browsers, so I chose NOT to install a new actors Flash that came after that, all based on experience.

    But last Friday, 22/06/2012, I received a new message to install Adobe Flash Player that came in my office for the new Flash Player v 11.3.300.262 and I chose NOT to install it for the reason I said above... and the look now at all the problems this new Flash player has caused for so many people.

    Now I see glancing at my Add-ons Manager in my Firefox browser, and in my program Panel of Windows 7 in the control panel that the stupid new Flash Player v 11.3.300.262 has been INSTALLED FORCE behind my back, even if I don't install certainly NOT it and I deleted the installation Panel when he came to my office on Friday.

    And now no videos or content Flash will not play in my Firefox browser! Good job Adobe!

    What is the Adobe problem?... why you require the software on our computers that obviously was not installed by the user, and then screw it to the top of our computers.

    How to explain something like that?

    Now, I have to troubleshoot it and try to install my old Flash Player.

    Why?

    Having click on classic view on the left side of the Control Panel window, which should show all of the icons and allow him to see the Flash Player icon.  The alternative is to type 'flash player' in the control panel search box which should be also.

    Note also that change the auto update to "notify me to install updates" will only delay the process of 30 days.  After 30 days, the update will be installed automatically.  You can completely disable this by changing it to "never check", but I would certainly recommend against that.

  • Symbol ban after new installation on new SSD

    Hello

    A few months ago, my original HD failed (MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012)).

    I decided to replace it myself with a SSD instead.

    the thing is, every time you start, I get the symbol ban for a few seconds until sometimes for hours, but once the start is done - everything works perfectly.

    tried to replace the disc SSD 3 times now - the same result after each new installation of recovery of the internet.

    Currently, using SanDisk Ultra II 240 GB.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    The symbol you see means that the computer did not find a bootable system disk and sometimes occurs when you have not set up a default startup disk. Go to System Preferences, and then select Startup disk. You should see your SSD in the window. Select it after you unlock the preferences.

    The strange thing is that, if this is your problem, it must be solved in seconds - certainly not hours. This would suggest there is something more complex. You say that you tried to replace the SSD 3 times. Different drives? Different manufacturers?

  • HP Pavilion P7-1155: Installation of new graphics cards hp p7-1155

    I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2 GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the box above.

    Haggiscat suggested this card through a previous post on this site. I printed the directions of installation of help from hp and I so the mechanics of the installation of this thing. These directions say disable the first onboard graphics card, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: do I need to do something else first as in downloading the driver first / delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Use that to get the drivers or go to the website of invidia? I want this facility to go as gently as possible so expert help would be appreciated.

    I don't know how to direct you to the previous post, but it's in this section. Take a look for general information.

    Thank you

    I did some research after that discover your graphics update did not work.  I found another thread in which the motherboard is the same as the one you have and the video card is in the same family as the one you bought.

    I also see in other forums that the 720 thru 770 cards are not compatible with this motherboard.  I have not found a referenced compatible card.  A resolution has been accomplished by changing the motherboard.

  • Pavilion g7 1070US: installation of new SSD

    I'm helping a friend with a HP Pavilion g7 1070US laptop. His original hard drive crashed and we bought a PNY 960 GB SSD drive to replace its old WD 500 GB. We were able to restore his old Win 7 because while trying to create a USB startup device the MS site says our OEM license. So we bought a new Win 10 license with a USB and when you try to start the message; "Core security check failed" appears, and the computer restarts then cycling in the same message. I tried to boot from another key USB and DVD ROM created by MS media creator but the same warning message appearing.

    Later we have formatted the drive outside the laptop with a SATA adapter.  Reset us the BIOS by default. The drive is recognized by the internal BIOS diagnostic and test memory was also executed.  Both pass.  However, whenever a start is attempted the system responds with a BSOD and the message; "The verification of the security kernel failure".  All the world is facing a situation difficult always. I even bought an old copy of Win 7 Home edition and the installation CD has the same problem.

    Any suggestions...

  • Problems with the installation of new system. Need help.

    Hello

    I'm new here so I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I tried to look for this subject but nothing similar has come so I decided to create this.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV7-1020ea, which came with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit installed and a recovery disk that was on the D: partition, but no real recovery disc/DVD.

    This laptop has had a hard drive failure lately, so I replaced it with a new hard drive cool (320GB, same accompanying).

    The new drive as you probably already know is fresh and it does not all partitions or any information, so without recovery of D: partition.

    I need to mention that the phone was fully functional, keyboard, touchpad, and quicklaunch worked correctly.

    I have some experience with computers, so I know how to recover, set up the startup in the bios etc.

    I tried to install Windows XP Professional 32-bit and Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on my laptop but I found out that the DVD drive makes a funny (not damaged or broken), as a lack of sound recognition. The two systems of Windows are original, and I have a license for them.

    Its different when I try to install WIndows 7, the DVDs are recognized immediately. All system disks work on other computers and work quite correctly. The portable disk drive is not damaged.

    The only thing I saw was: No. Bootable Device (3FO)

    I didn't know what to do so I handed the laptop to an expert.

    When I arrived at my computer back, the computer had Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed, but the problem was that quick launch buttons, keyboard and Trackpad was not working. The only way to use the computer was to plug in an external keyboard and mouse which is not a solution.

    -The keyboard not working outside not BIOS, press No button in text fields do not work. The only functions that worked were when I pressed fn + f8 to make the screen brighter and oddly enough, it worked, so when I pressed the keyboard caps lock, caps lock lights on the laptop keyboard as well.

    -The touchpad itself does not, the keypad or buttons. The only thing that works is the light that changes when I press the button disable from white to red, and then from red to white.

    -The quicklounch does not work. The works of power button (turn on the laptop since it is a button) but the led behind it does not work. For speaker and Wifi light is always red (off) and even when I touch it, it will turn blue/white. The rest has a white light behind her, but does not work.

    I also noticed that when I go into the BIOS, the bios is absolutely slow. It takes about 30 seconds to react when I press the buttons on the right, but also it does not react sometimes and it's like in all sections (but it works for keyboard).

    Later, I went to the Device Manager and discovered that there are 3 basic system devices that are not installed. I tried to install by searching online and locally, but no drivers were found.

    All devices have "the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)" and the drivers can be found online or on-site.

    Details of devices:

    Basic device PCI system bus 6, device 0, function 3

    Basic device PCI system bus 6, device 0, function 1

    Basic device PCI system bus 6, device 0, function 4

    Trying to fix my keyboard, the touchpad and quicklaunch buttons I went on Synaptics website to download the drivers for the touchpad, updated it, restarted, did not work. I also went on the official site of HP to download the drivers for quicklaunch to my computer, keyboard and mouse, put up-to-date, did not work.

    I also tried to put in the DVD of Vista and XP DVD to see if the computer is able too see them at all, but when I went to my computer and looked at the DVD player, it says "Insert disc in drive E:." so none of them have been recognized by the computer.

    I don't like Windows 7 and I would really like to have my laptop runs on my old system which is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with keys on keyboard, keypad, tactile and functional quicklaunch.

    Could you help me then install the Vista drivers or to solve this problem?

    Tank you!

    You are the very welcome.

  • How can I move my existing WHS-2011 installation to new hardware?

    I have the OEM software that I used for the current installation and I was wondering if I could use the same software (and product key) to install on the new hardware.

    Hello Jrf_21,

    I suggest posting your question on the official Windows Home Server forums located here:
  • System Restore blocks never, never complete Windows day & installation of new programs gel updates.

    Greetings!

    After a scheduled update of Windows Vista, automatic updates has stopped working, among many other things:

    In manual mode, the progress bar hangs at 0% of the first update and never shows progress.

    When I try to shut down the PC (HP Pavilion s3241la computer desktop Slimline), the same story: set automatic start installation, but with no progress and in the end, I have to turn off the PC the way lasts.

    In Control Panel-> system of-> System Protection, I see no point of system restore, the system maintains "research" for always for these points but poster ever one and HARD drive shows no activity; the console "System Restore... ' is not too available, this is the button is grayed.

    No matter what program I try to install or to upgrade never ends, facilities simply wants.

    Help! How can I solve this?, the system is a production unit & it is not easy to stop all activities to perform a reinstallation from scratch.

    Best regards.

    Greetings & happy new year...
    After you use all 3 methods to solve the malfunction of the system, I am sorry to say that none worked.

    Method 1 makes no difference once the antivirus went.

    Method 2 has found no breach of integrity or something similar and rolling back to a previous restore point did not help also.

    Method 3 turned the system in a very unstable state, and at the end, I was forced to do a full backup of my data and restore the computer to the BONES of the original factory configuration.

    Thanks anyway, and I hope that this situation will never happen because there is no easy way to solve it.
    Best regards.
