just bought ghostbusters game pc, but it is very slow on my WINDOWS VISTA Home premium... of suggestions?
I installed the game ghostburters on windows vista Home premium with service Pack 1 and it runs very slowly, I tried the upgrade a few things bo nothing helps.
whay can I do to improve the speed?
Well, that may depend on how fast your computer is. Games have the system requirements listed on the box or the Web site that you downloaded from. Your computer should generally be at or better than the recommended settings. Otherwise games will run slowly or not work. If the game runs slow, in general, you can buy a graphics card faster to make it go more quickly, but it depends greatly on this kind of material you have in your computer now.

I have a laptop with windows vista Home premium that I bought at a price of extortionist from a retailer, I had to reinstall because of some software that magically stoped working and so my computer crashing. Now Microsoft´s site says that my product key already exists (although I know because this is my product key) and he won´t consider. How can I get my original key work?

I've upgraded to windows 7, the upgrade requires a previous version of windows must be installed before it can be used.
When I installed the upgrade first, it worked perfectly, unfortunately I do not have a set of recovery discs before upgradeing from Vista to 7 (stupid I know!).
I bought the components to upgrade my PC and want to reinstall windows, but cannot without Windows Vista Home Premium disc, and I can't find anywhere to download them, or find someone willing to let me copy their discs (I only need a copy discs, I have my own serial number).
True to form, I also forgot to make disks of backup to my laptop before it got a virus (edition windows Home premium), feeling very stupid.
If anyone knows where I can get copies of these discs, it would releive a lot of stress.
That you have a legable Vista product key, then use these installation files to make a .iso and then bootable DVD/USB as shown here:
This will install Windows Vista with the activation of the phone. Note using your Windows 7 update product key directly with the good Windows 7 .iso file directly should work and you should not need to install Vista. You can, or perhaps not to activate by phone.

I currently have a HP with Windows 7 on it. I want to wipe my hard drive (a full cleaning) and start again. I have the product key of Windows Vista Home Premium for a 64-bit computer, only to have not only not the disc. Recently, I called HP to get a new, only for them to tell me that they cannot help me because my warranty has expired... Is there somewhere else I can go to to get a disc without key on this product? I just need the diskette. If anyone can help me please, I would be very grateful. Thanks :)
Hello
You can't reinstall Vista on a recovery partition you have installed another operating system
read this:
Solve a common problem of recovery.If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.________________________________________________________
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
you say, that they will not!
________________________________________________________
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1. Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?
Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?
No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.
For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.
Never be afraid to ask. This forum has some of the best people in the world to help.

Windows Vista Home Premium - Disk Defragmenter will analyse but not defragment
Windows Vista Home Premium Disk Defragmenter does not work properly. It will analyze the disks and say they need to be defragmented, but when I click "Defragment now" he begins to analyze again. It keeps analyzing and telling me to defragment however it defragments never really. Please PLEASE HELP - it's so frustrating. Thank you =)
Hi islgrl10,
Alternatively, you can also view the partition on which you try to run disk defragmentation, it may be corrupt or have some bad sectors that might have prevented disk defragmentation utility runs successfully.
To check for errors on a partition,
1. click on Start button, and then type command prompt and run as administrator.
2. in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and press to enter.
3. When you are asked to plan the check disk on the next reboot, type 'y' or 'Yes' and restart your computer to run the utility chkdsk on your computer.Kind regards

Try to install Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, but says I have already installed
I have problems of fixing a friends computer. He is currently running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 with the OEM sticker on the bottom with the key, but he lost the installation discs. To help make repairs, I have a valid Windows Vista repair disc and the Ultimate Boot CD on two different USBs. The symptoms are:
Three addons will install successfully, I restart, and they are uninstalled back again. The installed updates window shows nothing. I have the CBS.log newspaper and the CheckSUR.log if you do not want to see them. There are a lot of mistakes in both of these balls
If I download service pack 2 manually and try to install it, it says I need to install service pack 1 first. If I download SP1 manually and try to install it, it says I already have service pack 1 installed. If I try to install KB947821 it hangs the first time 75% and crashes to zero then.
The machine has problems with the .net Framework. I noticed that programs seem to corrupt and the only way to fix it is to clean the .net Framework and reinstall it.
The computer has recently been scanned with a full scan of Norton and no errors found. There is no antivirus or active windows security options because I was trying to get the updates to install. I'm in safe mode with network currently.
Things I've done:
I read a lot about this problem with a recovery partition. My recovery partition was the flag of boot top, so I spent my drive main and then booted from the disk to repair Windows Vists the flag and ran the Startup Repair. He set up the main drive of OS as the boot partition, but that does not solve the problem.
In order to exclude any form of corruption of MBR, I wiped the MBR and ran the /fixmbr tool to restore the MBR. This does not seem to help anything either.
There is a tool to repair WIndows Update, called a "Microsoft Fix it." I ran this in normal and aggressive modes without change.
Please let me know what information you want. I tried it for awhile and I don't think I'll get it without help.
Hi Jeremiah,.
Based on the information provided (especially errors in the CBS logs), there seems to be several packages in Windows that are damaged or corrupted. They could become this way through several scenerios (3rd party program interaction causing files to be moved or deleted, antivirus software can make a mistake of components to update valid as malicious, or even malware infection). Currently, there are a few options.
You could try manually repair all the packages that are in your CheckSUR report and then try to run the updates again.
Perform a upgrade in Place to attempt to repair the components.
Perform a clean installation to repair all the features of the operating system.
All these choices are not the largest road to go down, unfortunately at this stage with the damage caused to your system, these are the few options left to fix.

I am trying to download a free software an official link from Microsoft, it is called Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I had a failure of extraction. I thought the problem was that I did not have a Service Pack 2 update, but I actually got it, so I do not understand what is lacking. I have a Windows Vista Home Premium edition installed on my PC. How can I download the app?
Hello

Hi, I have Windows Home Premium 64-bit. I want to create a restore point, but I get a message saying that the system restore has been disabled by the administrator of the political group contact domain administrator. I am connected with an administrator account. I have read forums that give instructions to access the system restore options: file or tabs just do not appear and there are some comments saying that the option does not exist in my version. So how the hell do I create a system restore point in Vista Home Premium?

Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit of Validation. Can't I just buy a no serial online?
Last year I had a Dell XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit pre-installed. Since then, I've changed over the entire computer with the exception of the still installed with Vista boot drive. Now, the system tells me the software is invalid, and it must be validated.
I realize as OEM OS' are is not supported, but why can't I just buy a new serial of MS no? Does this mean I have to buy Windows 7 since Vista isn't the case to buy more?
Thank you
-Mario
Hello Mario,
I suggest that you contact Dell. Software OEMS is pre-activated and assistance is the responsibility of the OEM - in your Dell case. Explain to them what happened and they should be able to help.
By 'Validate', I assume you mean 'enable '. Have you actually tried activating the software to see if it will turn on? If you have tried to enable you get a message saying that the "product key is already in use"? If so, take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm
You may also like to telephone line (free in most countries) activation by following the instructions in the article above. Explain to them your problem and they may general counsel.
There is no product keys, they must be purchased with physical media, that is, the Vista DVD. Don't try to buy one on EBay or places like that because they are usually pirated copies and the product key would have been blocked by Microsoft, so you will be in the same boat as you are now.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
