• Re-Activation Windows Vista problem

  Last night my PC, I've had for almost a year (running Windows Vista Service Pack 2) changed the schemee of 32-bit color and crashed.  I restarted, and when he arrived at the Vista logo animation before opening of session, he said that my copy of Windows was not authentic.  I manually turned off and tried again today.

  Of course, I'm on, but there is a message of 3 lines in the lower right corner of my screen that says "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine".  I wrote down the product key on the sticker on my PC and went into the system.  The current key was "89578-OEM-7352477-22174.  I clicked on "Change product key" and put in on the side of my PC, and it said that the activation was successful.  However, the product key is always '89578-OEM-7352477-22174' and the message is still on the bottom right of my screen.  I'd appreciate any help.

  Thanks in advance.

  I need help. I can't open my control panel. When I click it it opens as an empty file, then disappears. Im guessing this is why now I can't print anything off any more. I also have a problem with the windows updates, that I can't open it to all. My cursor turns into loading then nothing happens. If I highlight the button shortened its windows to say impossible to verify updates? Pls help someone!

  Hi Steve_n17,

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start , and then type cmd in the box to start the search .
  2. Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

  1. At prompt command, the following line, and then press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Insert the Windows Vista disc if it prompts for a disk.

• Windows Vista problem... Help!

  I recently had an automatic update install and reboot (sort of), but when the computer went to restart the operating system starts, so I have no idea of what is happening with my computer. So can someone please help me with my problem

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  Hello

  Do a system restore back to when it was working properly (as you did before).

  Instead of going through Control Panel > go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your the model number of the computer > search your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  There are different methods to reinstall Vista, if you think it is necessary to do so.

  This can help you:

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Windows vista problems install keyboard and mouse

  I try to install windows vista ultimate on a new amd system I've built recently. The windows vista screen Boot starts well, but I can't go further with the installation because the keyboard and the mouse do not work.

  To solve the problem, I booted up with a Linux distribution and I can use the keyboard and mouse and everything works fine. Initially, I bought vista using boot camp on my Mac and the keyboard and mouse work well with vista on this configuration.
  I want to upgrade to windows 8 thereafter, but I might need to buy the whole program, rather than the update if I can't do vista works. I don't want to spend money if I can't because I'm broke. Any suggestions?

  Parameters of the BIOS of some computers have a setting "Enable USB Legacy" to allow the keyboard to work without Windows running.

  If you have PS/2 ports buy an adapter or a PS/2 keyboard. Most USB keyboards can be connected to a PS/2 port using a USB to PS/2 adapter.

• Windows VISTA problems with ".exe" files

  I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, SP2 on a HP Pavilion desktop computer. Recently developed a problem when you try to run any file with an ".exe" extension results in a window asking to "choose the application I want to use to open the file" or "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. " Any ideas?

  Hello
  This problem occurs when your .exe file associations are broken. This is usually caused by a virus/malware that changes the default file associations in Windows. Follow these instructions to resolve this problem:
  Download exeHelper from one of these two links: link 1, link 2 double click on exeHelper to run the fix. A black window should appear. Once the patch is finished, press any key to close.
  Then try following the steps in this virus/malware removal guide: http://www.selectrealsecurity.com/malware-removal-guide

  It contains instructions which will remove most malware infections. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope this helps you.

• Installation/space Windows Vista problems

  Recently the Windows Vista Setup program does not allow the installation of the different software components.  Sometimes I have a vague (as impossible to install) error code, sometimes the installation starts from inside IE and then just comes back to IE. But no installation occurs.

  I am slot as Vista Business 64-bit Service Pack 2. (5 gig Ram)

  I have between 50 to 500 free MB on the disk. (I have a drive c to 35 gigabytes.  But, windows uses 31 G (winsxs uses 20 G).)  Supposedly, it's a problem of Microsoft to know during the years that they have no desire to fix.  I regularly try to clean the space, but it's like trying to hold back the Mississippi...

  Uninstall seems to work.

  I ran various utiilties of Microsoft to try to resolve the problem. (I think this is worse!)

  I ran sfc/scannow and it has detected/fixed no problem.

  When I was able to capture more storage space (by moving my virtual memory on another drive) briefly the problem has not disappeared.  The Publisher of the software after several hours of searching in various newspapers told me it was a problem of Microsoft Installer.

  I don't want to re - install the OS that I don't have a number of my installation for different software products discs (they are all legal).

  I'm not so sure that Windows installs my updates properly at this stage either.

  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm drowning in time to support.

  What is E? The dual computer boot or pagefile on E refers to the operating system in C?

  I did not used Easeus Partition Manager, Partition Magic and Acronis who buy software using, but the principles will be similar. What you need to do is to reduce the size of D, so that there is a free space between C and D, and then increase the size of C in this space. You can then increase the size of D in the original unallocated space of 5.86 GB in D.

  I suggest that you study the knowledge base, and there is a line on manual. Print the relevant parts. The FAQ in the first link and follow two particularly relevant links:

• Photos download of Windows Vista problem

  I'm having a problem with uploading photos to my Dell Inspiron 531 that is running Windows Vista. I am taking perfectly good photos with my Canon Coolpix S4100 and downloading for photos with one cable from the camera to the computer. Shortly after they are downloaded, maybe a second or so, they distort: high contrast, low light, 3D effect, shadow. The photos are jpeg, and happens whenever I have download on this computer. They are very good when I download them to my laptop which has Windows Vista. I am only display photos directly via the photos and that is when there are distorted. I also use 3D inspection program and the photos are mixed in there also like in the photos. Any help?

  Might be interesting to try to update your video driver... check
  the site of Dell support for an update for your model.

  If this is not the solution... it could be caused by a color profile.
