• Have to reboot windows vista Home premium, but I have no recovery disk. What can I do?

  I bought my computer in January Circuit City and as part of the purchase, they installed windows vista and other programs such as Norton Internet Security. Recently, my system has been "acting" and the folks at Symantec tell me I can get a worm who slipped in front of the protections. Because this worm was now hidden from detection and very probably damaged my registry files, they suggested I have reformat my system and reinstall all of the BONE upward. I searched through the discs that I got with my pc and I have everything EXCEPT the OS! Whats is worse because their people installed, I have the product identification code, but I think that there is another code for validation that I did not. Circuit City is out of business now and I don't know what to do. I know that my currently installed copy of vista is genuine, but what I need to know is that if there is a way I can reinstall vista on my pc without having to buy another copy?

  Hi lxlthr,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  Please check under your laptop or your desktop to locate a sticker with the product key for Windows Vista.  If they exist, you can probably use another copy of Vista to install, without making a purchase, a new product key.  If they are not located on this computer or anywhere you can find, then you need to get a different product key to reinstall the operating system.

  Note: Formatting the hard drive will erase all data, programs and user settings you have on the computer. If there is no information on this computer and you don't want to lose, or is not guaranteed, you will need to make backups before proceeding with the INSTALLATION of FORMAT / CLEAN.

  Hope this helps,

• I accidently reinstalled Windows Vista Basic, but is my key for Home Premium. What can I do?

  I reinstalled Vista Home Basic, but had originally Vista Edition Home Premium and I have the product key for activation only for premium... Help?

  original title: computer a buggy.

  No - it can't happen because the original installation is not enabled, it cannot use Anytime Upgrade to install the correct key - and an OEM key will only accept a custom installation and clean.

  @Adrienne

  You need to reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery disks - if you don't have a game, then you can order them from the manufacturer's website.

  Note that this will wipe all data current (again) - so back to external media first.

  One option would be to sign on a third computer, in which case you will be prompted to close all other facilities to allow a new.

  Another option would be to contact Adobe support and see if they can help.

• Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

  Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

  Hello

  I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
  Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
  The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
  In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
  But this is only my personal hypothesis.
