PC with Windows Vista Business OEMAct COA of second hand
Hello
Hello
You must use the key to see if it is still valid. There is no public list kept.
Hadou no reason why it would not be valid as long as you can not transfer OEM licenses which they were installed on the original machine.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.
Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:
And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.
With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

Vista restarts continuously this morning. Try to run the update 3 0f 3, then restarts.

Norton is known to cause slow downs and other issues. Uninstall and then running
the Norton Removal Tool to stop the remains (even those will interrupt the strange) to load.
Use the recommendations below when testing, even better would be permanently.Norton Removal Tool

Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)

Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-

and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.I hope this helps.

Windows Vista Business still don't not patched with SP1 via auto-mises to update or manual updates
Our laptop Fujitsu is installed with Windows Vista Business. We have been used for about 1 year more, get the updates via automatic updates.
I read that Vista has up to SP2. But check the details of the system shows that no service pack has been applied. So I trigger the update via IE-> tools-> Windows Update. He said that "no important updates available.
I think that when you apply SP1, it will move from IE7 to IE8. So, we still have IE7.
Why the service pack is not available for our case?
Kind regards
BenA1. Yes.
A2. You are 'safe' for now, as long as the computer kept fully patched to Windows Update otherwise. That being said, there will come a time in the not-too-distant that a computer without SP1 installed will not offer still updates all founded. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

Tecra M9 crashes when the apparatus or the lid close on Windows Vista Business
Hello
I have a Tecra M9 with Windows Vista business, and when I close the lid on the laptop that Windows puts on hold. When I open the lid, although wakes up the computer screen but it crashes.
Even if I have the machine on the docking station when I disconnect the machine crashes.
Any ideas? Any help much appreciated.Mike
Hello
I don't know what you mean in crashes, but I know that this can happen after the standby/hibernation mode, that this sound card is not recognized correctly. To resolve this problem, you must install the hotfix for Microsoft Vista (937077 KB) on the Microsoft network site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937077
Just a question: have you noticed this problem since the first day or after a few days of use?

Does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista on a Satellite M40-129?
Hello
does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista (Business) on an M40-129? Any suggestions on the proper drivers and advice are welcome.Best regards
SaschaHello
I have an owner of the M40 motorway m but I didn t install Vista on my laptop.
Why? good Vista needs a lot more material resources like the XP.
In addition many additional applications that are running on my system are not compatible with Vista.
Last but not lease I didn t find the drivers of Toshiba for the M40 on the Web site.I think that the drivers Vista missing on the page is not a problem serious because important factors as driver graph, sound driver, lan and Wlan driver can be downloaded from the website of chip manufacturing.
Anyway, if you want to install Vista on your M40 I would create an additional partition and install the OS on the second partition.
In this case, you can use the two BONES; XP and Vista.To my knowledge the Vista installs a clean boot manager and it should be very easy to switch between XP and Vista.
Best regards
Good bye

Use of the filesystem in Windows Vista Business
I had a neX61 in November last with Windows Vista Business and 120 GB disk space. I installed MS Office Standard 2007 and Visio, the disk of 2 months following its use grew much greated than the volume of data that I have placed on the system. I ran all the checks planned and all is good - no problems.
However I could not always represent 35 + concerts. I downloaded a tool on the web that says basically structure sizes and directory trees and showed that I should have 35 gigs of spare, i.e. If I added the directory sizes, there was a huge amount still free. I couldn't get to the bottom of this.
One day, Outlook 2007 crashed and rebuilds itself, when it rebuilt, suddenly space reappeared. Afterwards, I ran all the diagnosis of MS Outlook with no significant results. During the next 6 weeks, which space recovery file again gone so now its 50Gigs I losyt. I decided to uninstall Outlook, but so far it has not recovered from my disk space. Before that I use a hard reinstall of Vista Business Windoze of stuff over there?
See you soon
Andy,
Right now, you have identified the exact problem, hell, I didn't even know this has the value automativcally of backup, the first 25Gigs swallowed the backup, then the next 4 subsequent in swallowed another 5 concerts a moment. Unfortunately, I had several images vmware which did not help matters.
Thanks man, I owe you a virtual beer.

Windows Live Messenger 2009 stops on Windows Vista Business
Hello
For some time I have been using a desktop computer with Windows Vista Business (32 Bit) and for a few months now Windows Live Messenger 8 kept stop without reason. I rejected, given that it happened only once a day, I have so open again and kept using it.
Recently I installed the version 2009 (14.0.8064.206), when Microsoft announced it through Messenger itself. Since I don't Live Messenger stops very often, sometimes it takes about half an hour after I connect, sometimes even when I'm not logged in. The message is "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working", no code error, no file name.
I have spent at various sites and tried the following without result:
Removal of the installation, run the clean installation tool and reinstalling
Repair the installation of Live Messenger
clear the Cache of Contacts
Run as administrator
Compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2Is there anything else I can try? Please let me know.
Thank you

Hi Angel,
You are welcome. Yes, please relay the State after the clean boot, as it will help to exclude all background programs. Please also pass on the model of your PC. Also, here are a few additional things to check.
1. Please check if you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.
2. Please also relay if the problem occurs when you try to share a file, using a Webcam, or by sending an Instant Message only.Thank you

Product key bad for the wrong version?
Hello
Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)
http://S13.PostImage.org/57nfn5pqv/vistareg.jpg
He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."
How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.
You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.
The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.
It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

Recently, I bought this computer with Windows Vista professional. The operating system is still registered to the former owner. How do I re-record in my name?
You don't say how you did the clean install.
It came from the recovery partition, or they provide a DVD for this?
Read this as an alternative method to reinstall it, and then contact Microsoft if necessary:
You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.
With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.
