My original laptop crashed, using my fathers laptop and used my upgrade to Vista but it wont let me turn it on
My original laptop crashed (hard), using my fathers laptop and used my upgrade to Vista but it won't let me activate it... can how I get my activation reset if I can use it on my new to me computer?
Hello
1. what happens when you try to activate Windows?
2. do you get any error code or error message?
You will not be able to activate the Windows operating system using the Windows Upgrade DVD. You must have a full version of DVD to perform activation.
I suggest you to consult the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.

I put a new hard drive in my laptop and when I install Vista I get this message: "windows cannot configure windows to run on this hardware of computers." I can't install an oem on a new hard drive version? This is the portable original in all other respects.
original title: new hard drive and vistaHello
strange that you can request that
HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive
There were a few posters with this problem here
If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)
You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.
I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD

new hard drive installed on the laptop and you want to reinstall Vista.
Having a drive only comes with computer laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545) labeled "(Drivers and Utilities déjà installés sur votre PC)." I think that it can contain windows reinstall the files but am not sure. When I insert the disk and PC startup, without the appropriate orders see the: Reinstall.

======================================
Did you accidentally create a system recovery
Your Vista computer drive?The drivers and Utilities disc does not include the
Operating system.The following .pdf of Dell to address document States the following:
To reinstall Windows, you need the following:
The Dell operating system disk

Best bet would be to check with Dell Support and see
If it is possible to get a Vista installation disc. Or maybe
a system recovery disk.In addition, a retail purchase may be the answer.

I'm going to my favorites, then import and backup, and then restore but the only date I can not restore from it only today (06/07/13). So I try "select a file", but it does not show them. And I saw him when I go to my files. There are 10 restore points. .... I don't know what to do. I wish that my favorites return. Don't save my favorites. But I guess that was the case automatically. The last one was in April.
If please immediately save your profile and put it in a safe place outside the railways Firefox and profile (your office will be good).
To ensure that you keep all of the information you have.
It seems that you have not already done anything to backup bookmarks yourself. I think backups manual or synchronization to a second device.
Do not blindly favorite restores backup like that replaces all existing files with the files of speculative / no value. Before you try to restore a bookmarks file always do a manual backup of the current, or you can just make the situation worse. Windows restore points may not always be effective and if they are it is a sledgehammer and nut approach.
It is possible for previous versions of the file places.sqlite can help. It is a database file in your profile that contains bookmarks.
- Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
As explained in the article using the troubleshooting option exposes a button which is the easiest method to find and open the profile.
The profile also contains a folder of some automatically created bookmark backups. I have already asked above that you backup the whole of this.
I don't know what exactly you were doing that caused the loss of the bookmarks. If you reformat a hard drive which destroys everything. If you reinstall Firefox and any option to remove personal information again favorite will be lost.

I can't read the SLP COA on my laptop and need to re - install Vista Home Premium
I have an old Acer Aspire. It came with Vista Home Premium installed. In January, I bought a new HD and installed Windows 7. I don't like it and want to go back to Vista. E problem, it is that the COA sticker is so old that I can't read all the numbers that it burns me upwards I'm trying to be legal here and things are conspiring against me. I can't read 4 characters.
Hello
Tips from Microsoft is to contact Acer and ask them a different product key.
I've never seen Acer a supply.
And there is no way that we can help you with a different key of product here.
You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disc Vista for your model
They will demand the SN: (serial number).
They should do this for a small fee.
The risk you run is that Acer has suspended the sale of recovery disc for some of its models.
How to order the eRecovery discs:
https://store.Acer.com/store?action=DisplayDataValidationServicePage&locale=en_US&siteid=Acerna
The relocation method above does not normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
The other thing you could do is to get a flame and the magnifying glass and see if you can read these 4 numbers.
See you soon.
