  I bought a copy of Halo 2 for Windows Vista drive during the Christmas holidays and after that I installed the game, valid and registered the product key with the installation program, I load the game to connect to Games for Windows Live and he informs me that "your product key invalid. It seems that through my research on the Internet, I have to request a new key to use my game.

• Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

  Hello
  I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

  Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

• I think I forgot my password for windows 7? IM the admin account only on my computer, how do I regain access? Help, please!

  Please help me, im unable to use my computer as I either forgot my password (which i have tried all the possibilities) OR I've been hacked? I'm not very sure, but I really need to regain access to my computer what can I do to reset the password?
  Sincere friendships x

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

• I forgot my password for Windows Vista, and it is the only Admin and did not have a password recovery disk. What should I do to recover my password?

  I forgootten my password for my laptop for the administrator and therefore cannot download, update or do a lot on the laptop.

  the laptop is an advent

  I have no password reset disk

  I took assumptions for awhile

• Windows Vista cannot access the internet, the link speed and Duplex negotiation seems to be the problem

  I have a desktop running Windows Vista Home basic and I can't connect to the internet through a local network, which is connected through a router (Belkin). Adapter type is Internet: Intel 825562V-210/100

  After consultations with the support of technichal society of router and my PC vendor, it seems that there is aproblem with negotiating the link speed. Here are some symptoms:

  I can access the internet if I connect the cable directly to the modem;

  Connected through the router, I can sometimes connecting to the internet if Imaually change settings of connection speed (10 / 100 Mbps, half/full duplex)

  All other PC connected to the network, using Win Vista and throuhg connected to the same router, have access to the network;

  If I connect my network cable to another PC, it will have access to the internet;

  The status of my PC seems to be 'connected' on the site of implementation of routers. The State of my connection is sometimes "Local only" sometimes "Local and Internet", but in fat, there is no internet access.

  I tried the following:

  Trouobleshooting under the direction of the technical support of the router and PC vendor.

  Update the operating system to restore to an earlier date, to restore to the factory settings; Reformatting my PC 2 times, (first internet worked for a few hours only); update the OS (by connecting directly to the modem); Turning off Win Defender, removing software antivirus. Reset LAN connection...

  Any suggestion please?

  New router solved the problem.

  Thanks a lot, especially Jack :-).

• 2 window vista Ultimate on the same computer.

  Windows Vista Ultimate had some problem so I installed another a thought that whoever has the problem would be to replace it with the new, but he does not. So now I'm stuck with 2 Windows Vista Ultimate on my computer and it take so much space. So my question is: how to remove or uninstall Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Even if you have a little idea, submit it.*

  Alyosha

  Alyosha,

  Remove or uninstall Windows Vista is possible in specific scenarios. You please clarify how you did your installation of Windows Vista?

  1. have you installed your new ultimate configuration on a new partition?

  2. have you you choose customized and placed the installation in the same partition as your old ultimate configuration? In this case you see two Windows folder in your C: drive / drive (or any other partition)? (Possibly with the .old extension)

  For installation of two operating systems to Windows Vista on two separate partitions study the following:

  Before you begin you will need your Installation of Vista support

  Start then in the version of Vista you want to keep and follow these steps to reformat the partition now unwanted Vista install and then uninstall.

  Note:

  • Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.
  • You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.
  • Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

   

  1. open computer management by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  2. in the Navigation pane, under storage, click disk management.

  3. right click on the volume that you want to format, and then click format.

  4. to format the volume with the default settings, in the format dialog box, click OK, and then click OK again.
