Portable version of Vista in question re.

How can I use Windows Vista in my laptop which died on my desk.  The laptop HARD drive is always good, but wouldn't start. (He works as an external)  I am the owner of the license of that copy of vista but he will lose.

Read this information:

OEM and retail licenses:

If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

A single license is a single Installation.

See you soon.

  • My OS is Vista 64 bit, it works well. Can I install a 32-bit version of Vista that can run alongside my existing 64 bit version.

    My OS is Vista 64 bit, it works well. I have a scanner that connects to the pc via a scsi card, the card I have will not work under a 32-bit version. I could buy a 64 bit version of the map, but it is an expensive exercise, I can install a 32-bit version of Vista that can run alongside my existing 64 bit version.

    Hi Paul,.

    No, you can not install the 32-bit version of Windows to the sides of the 64-bit version. However, you can have a configuration dual boot (32-bit on a partition and 64-bit on another). In this case you will need two licenses, a license being dedicated to a facility only.

  • Is there a page of archive for the Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE versions of the web browsers?

    Is there a page of archive for downloads installers for Flash Player plugin for PORTABLE versions of web browsers like Firefox ESR?

    One of my web browsers is Firefox ESR 10.0.7 and is a PORTABLE of Firefox version that apparently needs a different Flash Player plugin that the plugin Flash Player normal requiring regular versions of most web browsers.

    I don't want to install the most recent PORTABLE Flash Player plugin version because I read about the problems with it and it is the only capable version this ESR Firefox will give me the opportunity to download and install when I try to install the plugin Flash Player necessary through the browser.

    I already know about the page archive plugin Adobe Flash Player normal, below, the link, but who don't have the Flash Player plugins for MOBILE web browsers.

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/archived-Flash-Player-versions.html

    I also looked on OldApps.com and I couldn't find anything there.

    Where can I download an older version, maybe one of the plugins Flash Player 11.2 to round April 2012, that will work with this version of PORTABLE Firefox ESR?

    I tried this question in the forum of Mozilla Firefox Help, but no one could answer.

    Thanks for any help,

    I met the same problem with the version of portable Firefox, I've tried.  I found myself ignoring the record (with the text file) that they have provided and created my own folder 'plugins' alongside firefox executable.

    As to why I went with 10.3 11.4, it was mainly because we added in Flash Player 11.3 protected mode.  While this might work (it didn't on my first attempt), it adds a layer of complexity that I didn't want to face.  If you need some of the new features of 11.x, then you have to play with it to see if you can get this to work.  One thing to try would be to modify the mms.cfg by disabling the protected-mode, however, I do not know if this file is accessible outside your windows\system32\macromed\flash folder.

    You can find all versions of 10.3 here: where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 10.3 for Windows or Macintosh?

  • Problem getting all the portable versions of firefox from 28 to start without error xpcom in DO PE 48 boot disk place at the start of the P-Start

    I built an emergency recovery boot disk using MAKE PE3 - 48 and P Start to enable the use of portable programs after booting into the recovery environment. I have used with success of Firefox Portable till and including version 28.

    All portable versions since then up to the last 35 Version will not start. All display the error could not load XPCOM.

    These same portable versions of Firefox, however, will begin in the normal environment of Windows 7 Ultimate on all my computers, however, in the environment of DOING PE 3, on the same device, they will not.

    You can ask about it in the support forum for Firefox Portable here:
    http://PortableApps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable

    Firefox Portable is a 3rd party application, not published by Mozilla. I installed it myself for dealing with changes in it and how it differs from the official version of Mozilla, but don't know enough about it or something DO PE 48 to be able to help you.

  • What version of Vista with product key?

    I know that some brands, has their own product keys that do not work on a regular version of OEM of Vista. Is this also the case of Toshiba?

    On the bottom of my X 200 - 21r laptop is my product key sticker. So, I want to know if I can use it with any OEM Vista CD/DVD?

    > know that some brands, has their own product keys that do not work on a regular version of OEM of Vista. Is this also the case of Toshiba?
    Toshiba laptops are preinstalled and delivered with the self-image of Toshiba.
    The image contains the Windows operating system (XP or Vista), Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

    The preinstalled Windows (XP or Vista) are already activated and it s is not necessary (impossible) to enter the serial key!

    > On the bottom of my X 200 - 21r laptop is my product key sticker. So, I want to know if I can use it with any OEM Vista CD/DVD?
    This key doesn't work with another version of Vista OEM. It belongs to the Toshiba OEM version which is preinstalled on your laptop!

  • I try the installation key OEM Office or upgrade to another version of Vista

    Hi, I had the same problem here.

    until someone shows me at the door, shouting that I have tried the vista OEM key to install office or upgrade to another version of vista, here are the facts:

    -C' is my work laptop.
    -It was installed with a volume work XP pro license.
    -J' changed jobs, negotiated to keep my laptop in the process.
    -I'm legitimate, I don't want the volume from my previous job license.
    -I am reloading the preinstalled version of vista from the CD supplied with the notebook microsoft (not the CD before installing, I wanted a windows clean and neat)
    -L' label on the back of the PC say "vista home premium OEMAct".
    -I am running windows vista Home premium
    -J' I updated my bios to the latest version
    -vista will not activate automatically.
    -J' tried to call microsoft for manual activation. the IDS are recognized (if you try to enter a wrong number, it is said that there is a mistake), but when I hit "next" after having typed the ID told me on the phone, I get an error indicating that the code is wrong.

    a now I get the Activation Assistant 0xC004E002 error when I try to run it.

    I don't see what I did wrong... someone has a lead what to do next, other than reinstalling windows?
    I don't want to bother to reinstall all drivers and applications (openoffice, java, firefox, xnview, avira antivir...) that I just installed.
    And I want a working solution, as I am not really convinced that reinstall windows don't lead me to the same problem on new.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards

    Hello

    First of all-> you have a Toshiba laptop?
    If so,-> to the Vista preinstalled on your laptop is already activated!

    The key at the bottom of the device belongs to the OEM of Vista version and it is just a confirmation that you are using a legal Vista operating system.
    The key cannot be used with MS Office and other versions of Vista!

    If you want to upgrade the Vista then you will probably get a new key from Microsoft.

  • Driver problem audio dc7800 on the new version of vista

    Hello

    Ive rebuilt a dc7800 with vista ultimate, Ive used the drivers from the HP site for audio, vista installs its own drivers automatically in a first time, Device Manager indicates that they work well, but no sound, so I get the driver for vista off HP site, those in Device Manager, install manually again, vista said they work they are not... If I try and just use the executable on HP website for vista drivers, I get a message saying my hardware is different from installing drivers Im for and installation will not be completed, I so try and add them manually with the *.inf in Device Manager, it adds this way, but they are just used to work...

    Ive has spent a lot of time on it, scoured the forums... Can anyone help? It should be a model of support for vista because it comes with vista enterprise... edition, so there must be a pilot on board sound somewhere for me

    Ive tried the audio drivers for all versions of vista provided on the download page of hp drivers, Ive also tried the xp drivers, Ive been to the realteks site and got the driver generic 29 MB for vista that suggest of some forums, what does not work too...

    Please can someone help?

    Right, Ive solved... FINALLY! If anyone else has this problem heres whats happened... The card Radeon HD 3450 what ive put in the willing dc7800 of an HD Audio Controller integrated into the jury! NA not yet realize that... then I disabled the system HD Audio integrated on the dc7800 and it works fine now! I was that combining HD Audio in the bios as my advice on sound and since I wanted to use that was the last thing I thought of deactivation... but disabling that so it uses the controller audio HD built on the Board now gives me perfect sound through the onboard sound... job done

  • Reinstall the clean version of Vista 32 bit

    I have a second hand with no original disk computer.  I have a properly active version Running Windows Vista and I would like to reinstall it on a clean install.   How can I do this with no disc?

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    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.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    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

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    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.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
