• Wrong key after you have reinstalled Windows Vista.

  Some time ago I reinstalled Vista. I used the same key product, all worked without problems. But today (after re - install) it sends me the message: Please activate Windows, false key. If I try to write old product key is not accepting it. If needed I can send picture of key, the next is original one. So, what I could do to use Vista in the future, he wrote that left 2 days only.

  P.S., Sorry bad English. :)

• Activation problem of license after you have reinstalled Windows of Geek Squad

  I had a massive virus and went to Geek Squad to the wipe/rebuild the computer.  The new Vista now asks me to activate windows, but I don't have the product keys.  Can you help me with either a general product key or let me know what I need to fix this problem.  Whenever the computer is on he asks me to activate windows.

  Hi ChannelPro11,

  You are asked to provide a product key? If the windows are simply say you must activate windows then just click the icon to activate, select this option to activate via the internet and the system must activate. If, on the other hand, a message comes up saying 'key product already in use', this means that you have already activated using this key and activate this time, you need to call the Windows activation line - see this link from my Web site:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  If, however, you are prompted to enter a product key, then the key must be to the rear of the PC or the bottom if it's a laptop. If you still can not find, or the number based on the PC does not return to the Geek Squad and tell them to sort out the problem for you. They fixed it so it should be in full working condition when you get back. And I mean 'complete order' with a full copy enabled operating system. You took it to repair a copy fully activated in Windows, so you expect him back with a fully enabled (and of course functional) copy of the operating system.

  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 product key is not be accepted after you have reinstalled Windows Vista.

  Using product keys Vista reinstallation (OEM)

  I reinstalled Vista after failing to fix some registry errors. I threw down the front product key I have re-installed, but it's a product key which is not accepted by MSFT.  Instead of 25 numbers as it requires, I wrote a 20 (and part it says OEM).

  It's good to upgrade to a version XP OEM Windows Vista and upgrade CD is not a product key. The XP CD has a product key, but of course Vista is not accepting it.  Apparently Vista stops working in 20 days, if I activate it. What is the product code I can use!

  Not worth it!

  Obviously the disk did not contain certificates appropriate for the key.

  Your SLIC table seems to be the appropriate injector to install a Vista, rather than installing a XP, so a recovery disk Dell to Vista so that the machine can very well work - and is much less expensive than buying a new license.

  Your best option, if it comes to having to purchase a new license, is to buy a copy of Windows 7 upgrade, it would be cheaper that a full version of Vista from Dell and would be transferable to another machine if he died. ($120 MS for Home Premium upgrade of XP/Vista). You can check compatibility first, just in case there is a problem - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

• After you have reinstalled Windows Vista, you receive an error my key is only for updates and installs not clean the device.

  Activation problem

  I reinstalled Vista (upgrade), when I try to check and enter my product key, it says "only for the upgrade not a clean install.  On the activation screen, it shows all telephone support option.  Thanks for any help!

  This is because a product upgrade key requires a copy of Windows to upgrade.  That's why its called an 'upgrade '.

  Restore the copy of Windows you improved the first time and then move on to Vista.

• No devices (audio, network...), after you have reinstalled windows xp

  I have a DELL Inspiron 6400. I reinstalled Windows XP, I had some problems, but now there is no device (audio, network...) it says that I should install its drivers.

• After you have reinstalled windows 7 on my computer hp laptop, internet wireless does not work. Any help please?

  I have a HP Pavilion g7 - 1205ev laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

  I bought a new hard drive, so I had to reinstall Windows.

  After installation, the laptop cannot connect to internet by wifi or Ethernet. After trying the troubleshooting it says that windows do not detect a network card installed properly.

  In the Device Manager, I see that there is an exclamation to these exact components:

  Standard VGA graphics card

  BCM20702AO

  Ethernet controller

  Network controller

  PCI device

  PCI Simple Communications controller

  SM Bus controller

  Download all these somewhere? And of course I'll upload them to another PC that my laptop will not at all online.

  I also tried to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on my laptop and the Ubuntu uses the Internet very well. (If this information is useful at all)

  Can someone tell me what to do? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
