Lost my product out of the box of DVD Vista key. __

Hi, I formatted my computer with vista home installed.

Product product key sticker on the plastic box fell and is lost.
I have a dvd of Vista legit and the manual, but no longer have the sticker.

Now, I have to reinstall my Vista on the computer again.

Microsoft keeps it registered records of my Windows Vista, and can we get the Microsoft key code?

Since you have reformatted, Key Finder tools cannot help you.
Are you SURE the sticker key fell? -C' is the first time I've ever heard talk about what happens in a valid area! It should be a yellow/Orange sticker inside the fancy box provided in OS disks.
Are you sure that the Vista you have is not an OEM version? -in this case, the thumbnail will be on the computer case and not on the DVD case.
Where did you purchase your Vista?
If you still have the receipt, you will be able to convince MS to replace the key for you...

  • Minor scratches on SS 2 series out of the box

    I am very happy that my watch stainless steel series 2 has been delivered today! Hope you are all enjoying your. After an inspection of the watch, however, I noticed very slight/minor/extra fine scratches on the screen, mainly on the top and the bottom of the screen where the curve begins, but also a bit in the middle. Once again: scratches are very minimal and is only visible when shine your flashlight of the iPhone (or any other light RAM) directly on the screen and looking closely in some angles. It seems that this has happened during production, probably during some polishing of the watch or other routines (because the stripes are mainly on the curves of the screen and pointing in the same direction). Really in trying to decide what to do about... Some of you SS series 2 owners would be so good to check that out and let me know what your watch in bright light looks like? Once again: it is very difficult to see if you need to use your iPhone light therapy lamp or other direct light source. I read a few threads on the coating that was applied to the screen (also described in the manual). Some suspect that this coating scratches easily, however I think it is strange that the watch is delivered striped out of the box. Especially since this Sapphire screen must be very hard to scratch.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar in Apple for the service. If you need a Apple Store - find a store - Apple. Take it within 14 days from the date of purchase for Exchange do for a not scratched. We cannot help you here, and these forums aren't complaints because Apple isn't here.

    Now, I want to go back to the out of the box again with windows 7 starter.
    The manual said to do I need to press the 0 (zero) key all turning on my pc. (I did before once).

    Now when I press 0 simply freeze the first toshiba screen and has no effect until I have unlock the key.
    I suspect its power because I installed the windows 8.

    Can someone help and find a solution?
    Is it possible to manually run the toshiba recovery software?
    Or maby a way to recover the disk storage internal in another way?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I don't know if your note is a US or European but manual model displayed must be the American version.
    In any case, its operation is quite similar.
    Laptop comes with preinstalled OS (recovery image) also saved original recovery image on the HARD drive.
    If long HDD is not defective and laptop to factory settings you will be able to install the HARD drive recovery image.
    If you check this page 56 s manuals, you can see explanation and detailed instructions how to create a recovery media (USB) that you can use if the HARD drive is faulty or the installation of HARD drive recovery won start t (your situation).

    I presume you didn't create this recovery USB support so now you have a problem. After your own installation of OS version your NB does not have factory settings anymore and you will not be able to access the recovery image recorded and the ability to boot the recovery image installation. Only way to have once again is installation of recovery using recovery media image.

  • Tecra R940 - 1 hr: what happens to work out of the box with Linux?

    I'm considering buying a laptop Tecra R940 - 1 hr.
    I'm going to use it with linux (ubuntu) system.

    What happens to work out of the box?
    Should I expect any problems with the display/network/wifi/sound?
    What about camera, usb 3.0 and bt?

    What is possible to work? Suspend? Function keys? Fingerprint reader? SD reader?

    What's not to work?

    I run Ubuntu Studio (12.04) on a Tecra A11-ST3504, and everything works perfectly.

    However, your computer probably has the latest UEFI instead of the BIOS, and this causes problems for some with start-up and installation.

    If the live system starts and runs, I'd go for it.

    I'll put the admins the trouble to make their usual warning: "of course, Linux is not supported by Toshiba."

    Enjoy!

  • HP Pavilion 17 Laptop Touch t: brand new out of the box HP Pavilion 17 t Touch M7H91AV laptop is so slow

    Last night, I took my laptop HP Pavilion 17 t Touch brand new out of the box and it is so slow.  The startup is slow.  All operations running slow.  The use of the internet is slow.  I tried to transfer files from Carbonite on this new computer and just the process of realization of this installation took me a half hour.  This morning I had to reboot and it took 5 minutes.  I only know enough about computers to be dangerous, so I don't mess with many settings myself.  This performance unacceptible on a new computer.  This is certainly the slowest computer I've ever owned.  All solutions that anyone can offer (as a reminder, I need instructions step by step)

    I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.

  • A wi - fi network reset to "out of the box.

    Hello

    Sorry to ask what may be a very basic question, but how do you define a wireless router - more WiFi settings of your laptop - back to the way they were when they came out the box? In other words, I want wireless and portable routers that I forget they know so that I can set up my wireless network again as if I put for the first time.

    The reason is a little involved, but for the most part, I had a set up wi - fi network and launched from a Terminal Airport Express and it worked very well. During the holidays I then bought an Airport Extreme because I wanted something a little better for my base unit and then I wanted to use the Express as an Extender. How I wanted to now, I had not tinkered with something that was not broken, as the addition of the extreme for the network was not as simple as I was expecting and my wi - fi network everything seems to go wrong, like my internet connection. I had someone to configure two routers (understand I can I have messed up a setting when I was trying to implement) but still no luck - he would work for a bit and then my internet would just go down. Using Airport utility, showed that routers and internet will run for a few seconds and then would stop and I would lose the connection.

    I work and live on a college campus for the internet at home is powered by an ethernet into the wall jack, just as you would in an office. Through contact the COMPUTING helpdesk, they managed to tell me (although partly because of techno speak and a little bit of a language barrier that English isn't the first language here) I got away from. What I could gather was something like the two routers SSID must be different because they were "beating" and this caused the network to automatically shut down at home? Unfortunately they treat only to provide internet service home and cannot help with the problems of wi - fi.

    I am pursuing other means to help (we are a University of science and technology research, after all!), but something I thought was if I could just reset routers and WiFi my laptop 'memory' of the network and start over as if I was there for the first time. I don't want to plug the router and it says something like "this was part of the XX network."

    Anyone know how?

    Thank you very much

    To configure your router from Apple to its "out-of-the-box" configuration, you must perform a ' default ' reset on this subject.

    For the laptop, if it's a Mac, then you will need to follow these steps for "erase it."

    Start with the first steps (1 - 1). If that is not accomplish what you're looking for, go to step 2.

    1a. remove preferred networks

    System Preferences > network > Wi - Fi > advanced > tab Wi - Fi

    Under "Preferred networks", delete the networks you use regularly in the list.

    1B. Airport deleted keychain entries

    Launch the application "Keychain Access", located in Applications/Utilities.

    In the windows on the left side: Select login for keychains and "All items" category.

    Click on the 'Genre' filter at the top and search all "AirPort network password" entries... and remove them.

    1 c. Add Network favorite (s)

    System Preferences > network > Wi - Fi > advanced > tab Wi - Fi

    Add preferred networks using the button «+»

    Restart or disconnect you, then back in.

    2. move the System Configuration files

    (Note: you will need to restore your network connection settings.)

    Go to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences

    Move the SystemConfiguration folder on the desktop.

    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the folder & files that are now sitting on your desk in the library > location of preferences.) If this does not resolve the problem, you can move the folder back to its original location.)

  • When I send an email on Outlook Express, he won't out of the box shipping, but continues to send once a minute until I remove in the Outbox.

    When I send an email on Outlook Express, he won't out of the box shipping, but continues to send once a minute until I remove in the Outbox.

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    Compact often as specified above.

  • Slow... Right out of the box - HP ENVY 15t, w7 pro

    Build is below.

    I've had this laptop since end of August 2014. He soon right out of the box. Technical support has been of little help and suggested that I needed a HP service called Smart Friends. At a cost that is an option I did not wish to engage with a laptop that was only 3 weeks at the time. I called tech support twice on this slow condition, they escape to the frustrating and boring.

    I created an operating system/repair disk and restore as one point of my first orders of operations by getting this laptop. Those who have not helped. The purpose of this laptop is strictly for use when travelling to which I've not yet done. I guess I could have a total of 5-6 hours of use on this computer. My HP desktop computer is my main computer.

    For example, in MS config I have which where only 3 vital elements are checked and it still takes 75 to 80 seconds of power to display the windows desktop. It takes 40 seconds to load control panel if you click on it, I get the blue wheel. I created a unique 26KO word doc. When I click to open, I get the blue wheel that is opening the document. It is simply not true. I spent more time troubleshooting this new laptop to use it for its intended purpose.

    I thought about safe mode or a clean boot. I don't have to. I did a system restore and a clean install once already.

    Schedules:

    -Microsoft Security Essentials

    -Office 2010 about 6 weeks after taking possession.

    -Malware Bytes

    Again, it was slow, until I loaded one of these three programs on this laptop.

    It's with or without being connected to the internet.

    I need an original system disk if all the one I created is just a mirror of what can happen?

    Clues that performance results did not appear my search on?

    Thank you...
