Old computer died, and Microsoft still has the key as being active.
When I installed Windows Vista Ultimate Edition on a new computer, (purchased from the U.S. Government so he came with no operating system), I tried to activate Vista and I was told the product key is already in use. Well, it's not that the computer no longer exists. Maybe I should try to bypass the router wireless in the House? I sent an e-mail to Microsoft and have yet to receive response.
Hi danpage0,
It is a standard procedure, all intent and purpose, the key is in fact still being used on your old machine. There is no way to disable by simply saying he's dead. However, there is no problem. All you need to do is use the phone option and your copy of Windows will be reactivated. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

My old computer died and I want to save filed from my old hard drive to my new computer
Hello
My old computer died, and I purcassed a new p6230y of computer a HP. I installed my old hard drive in to the new computer as a second HD in hard drive Bay 2. I would like to transfer my files from the old HD to the new HD. I would then format the old HD and use it internally as a second HD. After the installation of the drive hard I can't find the old man (HD) on my computer. I see that the old HD has been installed successfully by running a diagnostic of the car. All this out OK. I can't access the old HD in some way other than the quotes, and when I start the computer I can see that a second HD is installed. What I am doing wrong? And what can I do to access the info on the old HD and use it as a second HD in my new computer? Am I missing some step in the implementation / install? Help.
Thank you so much. My knowledge of windows 7 is very limited. You helped save all my files on my computer. Thank you once again.

The title says pretty much all this. Microsoft Accounts has my wrong email address and it took a few days to correct, but when I tried to order in the games section of the app store, it still has the old address (which went nowhere) and would not be the service order. How can I get the correct email in the app store?
Hi EddySims,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community!
I understand that you are not able to download the app from the store Windows applications as it has the old email address.
Please answer the question
(1) have you tried to connect with the new email address?
(2) did you get an error message?
If this only happens in Windows Apps store, I suggest you follow the steps below to reset the cache to store and see if it works very well.
(a) press the Windows key + R
(b) type WSReset.exe and press OK

I changed my apple ID user name and password on 3 of my devices. I have a 4th device, which still has the old user name and password and I am not able to change it. I can't restore the phone to factory settings unless I can connect.
OK, just to clarify: you always use the same Apple ID, but you changed its name, correct?
If this is the case, you can go to iCloud.com or use find my iPhone app (free on the App Store) of one of your devices to remove the 4th icloud.

Don't tell me that I don't know how to ask a question. I don't really have. My question is, is there someone or something out there that can make me my music on my new computer? I had everything buy once in the past. I'm not inclined to do it again.
Here are the steps:
- You say that you have a new computer. I guess that's literally true, and so it has the latest operating system.
- Open iTunes if you have it on your computer. If you don't have iTunes, download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
- Use the iTunes menu to navigate to account > Sign In and sign in with your Apple ID.
- Go to the iTunes under the "Music" setting store
- Click on the link 'Buy' on the right side.
- Go to the "not in my library" tab.
- From there, you will be able to download all the music you have previously bought in iTunes.

If I switch to MUSE with responsiveness, my many sites of MUSE since versions Tablet and phone still has open in the program?
The statement speaks for itself, so I still have to update because I can't find any data, saying that it is acceptable to use old versions of MUSE site structure in the new face.
Do not worry!
Existing Web sites will open initially as 'fixed' (unfounded) and the only difference that you will discover is that your Adaptive for office, Tablet and phone versions are now called 'alternative layouts' and can be found under the menu on the Page. (The familiar buttons in the map view will be displayed only if there is already an Adaptive provision, be careful not to confuse users who want just a reactive trace.) In fact, you can combine presentations reactive and adaptive, fluid and all! Just beware that as of now, the effects of roll and some widgets may not be used in a fluid page.
