Original title: Vista Activation issue
After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.
Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research
and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove
such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,
I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!
It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."
I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?
Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.
I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft
It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

Hello
(1) I wanted to play a UK DVD on my computer so I changed the region setting in properties in the United Kingdom (region 2)
(2) it did not work
(3) I tried to change my setting back to the United States, so I can play other DVDs (region 1)
(4) it will not change (the "administrative privileges" message)
(5) my computer doesn't read DVD
Hi jeremyjones1960,
- How many times to change the region settings of the DVD drive on the computer?
- You are logged in Windows by using the administrator account?
Check and make sure that you logged in to the administrator account and check if it helps.
If you have changed the settings for region of the DVD player more than 5 times then you will not be able to change more.

Bought Office Acrobat 11 DC Pro to my PC running Windows 7 - I have more than enough RAM and storage, but get the message: "this application cannot be installed on this operating system. The installation program will end now. Please refer to the minimum requirements to... "Can't determine the location on the Adobe Web site to get answers. Any suggestions?
I deleted an earlier version of Acrobat Pro from my computer. Still, I get the same message.
Hi John,.
Please specify if you have purchased DC Acrobat or Acrobat 11 or upgrade you to the latest patch for Acrobat 11, that is to say 11.0.11 so that we can help you accordingly.
I wonder if you have checked your system requirements before you download Acrobat.
I would also ask to share with you the screenshot of the error message with us.
You could probably uninstall Acrobat using cleaning tool. Here is the link for the same thing.

I worked on the Web site of our Church and all of a sudden this week, my computer does not connect to the site. I get a message saying that the connection to the server was reset while the page is loading. Can anyone has any ideas on how I fix?
The error message "the connection was reset" can be caused by a bug for the attack of the BEAST fix (browser exploit against SSL/TLS) that the server does not support.

My spellchecker of firefox doesn't seem to work; That's assuming that it exists at all. For example, when I misspell a Word when you compose an email using hotmail and I try to correct using the spell checker of hotmail, I get a message saying that I am using a browser that has of own built-in spellcheck. If it is integrated, how the hell can I find?
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
Is as far as I know, always
You must install a spelling dictionary, only the US version comes with a dictionary.

I have a ts 2008 license server with 90 per available user licenses (21 already issed). However, users get a message that says that there are no available licenses. The TS are iss device by installing licenses. Local group policy is not configured on each ts. The strange thing is that I can't find the option to license type within the domain group strategy, however, I suspect that this is the problem as when I go through the configuration in the RD Licensing Manager system indicates that the license server will be able to issue per user Cal. If anyone has had / overcome this problem I would be very gratefull to know the solution. Best regards Steve
