My key Windows VistaTM Starter will not work

My laptop was bought after 3 years... and now I'm fighting through activation problems.

When it is freshly installed by my uncle (in fact it has just changed), a technician was there to set up our component; He saw my notebook and asked if he wants me to degrade to XP because Vista is slow... since I'm naïve at this point, I just said yes, not knowing that my uncle made a lot of changes to the laptop.
For about 1 year, I went through different reformat (after degradation 1 time, I asked him to update back); up to 1 times my license key has stopped working. It's a key Windows VistaTM Starter legitimate , I asked some elderly parents w / knowledge to my problem and said it could be that someone stole my key.
I said 'No' because the key is known only to me and to the technician. I don't know if it uses it or what, but I can't activate it.
My laptop does not now, and he's going to need someone to fix soon... but here is some information that might help:
  • I have the media recovery disk, all the stuff for Windows Vista and the LG drive (where you can install display, sound drivers etc..).
  • The laptop model is LG RD405.
I hope someone could help me. PS; the call of my country cost much so I can't take the phone option especially since I have a bit in hearing deficit... and my position is on the Philippines.

To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
-* in your own thread *, please

Please also state the Version and edition of Windows cited on your COA sticker (if you a) in the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but does NOT quote the key on the sticker!

  • CD/dvd drive and windows update/installer will not work

    Because I'm not on the computer, I am referring to I should be as concise and precise as possible here. The system is Windows Vista service pack 2.

    I'm trying to re format the computer of a friend. Something I've done often in the past. I did two recovery disks when the computer was new, but cannot do recognize the cd/dvd or any other, internal or external drive that I tried. error code 39 is cited in all cases.

    In addition, he said there are three updates to install when I boot on the system to start before these updates are installed only. In fact the windows installer has stopped working. I went into Device Manager and not only it shows conflicts for hard drives, but for multiple NICs also: twelve 6-4 adapters and five ISATAP adapters also Microsoft. I've uninstalled and restarted for all adapters reinstall with the same conflicts. In addition the machine will not be closed correctly in normal mode and I get a blue screen with a message of memory dump. I'm afraid to format the c drive, until I have a way to reinstall the system via a disk drive. Can someone help me please?

    I tried it in safe mode and it stops at least normally but as soon as I restart with networking all the problems are back.

  • Windows Easy Transfer will not work for me between my old laptop with Windows XP and my new laptop with Windows 7.

    I am trying to transfer my files to my new laptop with Windows 7 for my old laptop with Windows XP Professional, using the Windows Easy Transfer, that I found on my old laptop.   I tried to make the transfer through my home wireless network and when that did not work...  I connected the two laptops with a cable (the same style of cable, used to connect his computer to a modem or router, not a cable SSB).

    So in summary, I just want to transfer all my files from my old laptop to my new laptop.   I copied the master file of my data from my old laptop on a "stick" assuming that I could download just to stick to the new laptop.  (I have a lot of "sticks" here.)   The idea did not work, of course, results otherwise wouldn't ask this question now.

    If you had previously copied simply data (documents folders) via a key files should be no problem during the copying of that stick to the library on win7 locations, and is there's this which is exactly the err MSG?

  • Failure hard drive replaced by larger windows disk hard recovery 7 starter will not work

    The Emachines Nav51 of Netbook had a hard drive fail completely. WD 160 GB instead of replacing the drive with the same size of the extra couple of dollars so I installed a 320 GB WD drive. Had a set of recovery disks shipped from Emachines, but due to the size of the disc it does not recognize the correct system.

    How to get windows 7 edition starter on this system.

    Hi Dave,.

    Thanks for the updates.

    I wish to inform you that there is a difference between the installation disc and disc upgrade.

    However, there is a solution that will allow you to install Windows 7 on the computer.

    Step 1: during the installation, when you get to the window where you enter the product key, uncheck the option that requires the product at the bottom of the window key. You can use the same disc of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

    This will install Windows 7 without product key, you must activate it later.

    Step 2: Activate the phone.

    Check out the following link and follow the instructions in the section: Activate by using the telephone.
