• Windows vista home Premium, nero 6, says that I don't have the rights to burn

  2 nero 6.
  3. I have low load/installed nero burnrights
  4 NB I can burn to a disc on roxio, itunes,

  I can not burn with nero 6 because a message appears "under the burning of windows nt4/2000 rights are required by nero to access cd burners and cd rom/dvd rom. players Pls ask your sys admin for permission to use nero'"

  It was after I installed nero burning rights and set up and restarted the computer.

  It's a good idea to always write it down in a safe place and away from the computer

  Unfortunately, these stickers wear away very easily

  and good luck with it

• Local tech installed Windows Vista Home Premium after a hard drive failure. However, my key is Windows Basic. Is the copy, he put on my system illegal?

  Genuine Windows clean install

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop Acer Extensa 5230th. It was not started and so I took for Matech computers.  They diagnosed as having a mechanical drive problem.  So they replaced the drive and installed a more recent version of windows vista on.  Note: I haven't bought a new copy of vista family premium, he said he was going to reinstall vista.  It had windows Vista Home Basic, it has installed vista Home premium and said that he had validated by call from windows, but I'm suspicious because I don't think you can use a base of windows key to validate Home premium!  It means that he has put on an illegal version on windows or used the genuine key that came with the laptop.

  In addition, on computers of brands, if this happens again, how is a technician for legally to reinstall the original windows that it came with the new hard drive? How to install windows vista basic on the new hard drive by using the original key to make it genuine? What windows installation disc would you require? or is it easier to just buy a new copy of windows?  I heard that many technicians, prefer to install illegal versions of cracking of windows instead of the customer to buy the new installation of windows.

  Kind regards

  Lewis
