Please activate Vista

Greetings. I have S5120y of HP Desktop running Vista 64 with Centurylink DSL... It has worked perfectly for 4 years and more... Since we use the computer to randomly times to save energy, we put the computer on standby during these periods.  About 3 weeks ago the system smoke comes out of sleep mode. The computer will go to sleep without problem. The power lite on top of the computer will change from blue to the amber and the switch on will also monitor turn Amber as it should. As usual, everything stops. When I hit a key on the keyboard the lite on top of the computer lights up blue but I don't hear the rotation of the drive upward and do not see HD amber lite on the front of the computer or flash turned on constantly as he normally does at boot.  Also the monitor lite rest orange as if is not triggered.  I then hold the power button until the lite becomes orange and after waiting push power again button and the system boots normally.  I have read many topics on this forum and others and have not yet find the problem.  I have a wired USB keyboard and a wireless mouse and have disconnected the two, but the problem remains...   I tried power management changes as suggested on the forums and ran the check disk and other scans, trying to find the problem.  I contacted my local computer repair shop that I trust, and he seems to think that it's related software.  I realize, it may be time to upgrade to a new computer, but this one works so well otherwise. I can work around by turning off just the monitor but seems to be a waste of resources.   Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi again.  Very well.  That's what Microsoft advised me to do.  My problem started as your inability to wake my computer after sleep.

It may be that your "usb mice" is not compatible to the standby mode.  Use this article to help you solve this problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930091/en-us because it has helped me. It may be just the answer to your problem.

Hope this helps;

Abel.

  • Cannot activate Vista! Help, please!

    My laptop came originally installed with Microsoft XP. A year ago I bought an 'Upgrade' Windows Vista disc to my computer instead. I've updated, everything was fine and then a month ago windows could no longer work. I could not reinstall Vista, because I only had the upgrade version, and I don't have XP.

    I was able to install Vista without using the key supplied with the drive, but of course I was given 30 days to activate it - who is not able to do. Now, windows must stop working once AGAIN, unless I repeat again and again the installation process. I think it is complete BS that Microsoft does that. I bought the drive, I have the key, they should provide me with a way to solve the problem that THEY should have been fixed a long time ago. Vista stop working due to problems of Vista. I can't even use their technical support, because I refuse to pay the sum of $59.99, they ask.

    Is there a way I can activate my Vista program so I don't have to keep reinstalling each month? I don't have an XP disc, and it never came with the laptop.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting.

    You use the telephone option to activate Vista.

    Click the Start button.

    1. in the search box, type slui.exe 4 and press enter.

    3. Select your country in the menu dropdown.

    4. click on continue in the UAC prompt.

    5. an toll-free telephone number will appear with a set of numbers generated by Windows and displayed on your screen.

    6. dial the number and follow the automated instructions.

    If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to a representative of Activation.

    Simply explain to the representative the situation and that they will help in the activation of Vista.

    Let us know the results.

  • Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

    Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

    You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

    And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

    When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

    Then you can explain what happened.

  • Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

    I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM. If I can get a copy of a disk of Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I want to know if I can use my OEM key for activate Vista 64-bit, if I had to do a full clean install?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
    You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.

  • Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key

    Well, I m using window vista Home premium, but I don, t ve produst the other key to activity from my window

    * original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *

    Hi gulabsher,

    You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation.  The original supplied with the software should do just fine.  However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).

    If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software.  Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country
    and click Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
