I have improved my week to loast of computer of an Intel Core 2 Duo to an Intel Core 2 Quad processor.  Now Windows tells me I need to register my product.  When I tried to do, he said that "the failure of key you entered is already in use.  To activate Windows, you will need another product key Windows Vista Home Premium. "How can I get MIcrosoft to realize that I have not installed Windows on multiple computers. I just put my equipment?

    The activation code you entered is already in use. but I have the original disc of Vista with the hologram on it, but unfortunately I bought this computer to a pawn shop. Is it possible to prove I'm the real disk? For example: the part number on the right side of the disc?

    The drive is not the problem, it's the product key that is the problem. You can locate the sticker product key on the cover or the back of your laptop. If it's a version of Vista box Manager must contain the product key.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-2160 problem with upgrade of the disk

    I am trying to upgrade the drive in my dv6.  The current disc works well, but I managed to fill up the 300 GB or so on it.  I got a new 750 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi drive.

    So, I want to clone the existing to the new and larger drive.  Here is what I tried:

    • Bought a copy of Acronis True Image & burned a boot DVD
    • attached an external 1 TB drive USB for a backup on the laptop drive
    • put the new 750 GB drive in an external USB enclosure
    • tie the 750 GB drive to the laptop
    • Put the boot Acronis DVD in the DVD drive on the laptop
    • Rebooted the laptop and started on the DVD of Acronis
    • made a backup of the laptop drive on the 1 TB drive
    • perform a restore of the backup on the 1 TB drive for the new 750 GB drive
    • removed the original from the laptop drive and replaced it with the 750 GB drive
    • powered on the computer... and nothing happens

    At this point, I can't boot using the boot DVD or even press F10 to go into the BIOS.  When I put the disc original back in, it starts very well and I can restart and use F10 to access the BIOS.

    So, the question is this: why does not the new 750 GB drive?  AND... Why it won't let me boot from a USB device or DVD with the 750 GB drive in the laptop?

    Well, my suspicions were correct. I deleted all partitions on the new disk and put it in the laptop as main drive and allowed me to boot from the DVD drive.  So, I booted the Acronis software and am now cloning the old disc (USB connected) on the new drive and it is automatically re-sizing of partitions.

    Thanks for your help pepe99 & erico you two in this.

  • problems with IE7 in the use of tables and onLoad

    Thank you in advance for any help. I have a table that is used to store the names of. Files to load into another SWF. SWF video. When I call the "onLoad" method, it works in all browsers except IE7? See the example below:

    prod_a = new Array;
    prod_a [0] = 12; number of products in the table. Currently, this feature is not used...
    prod_a [1] = "product1.swf";
    prod_a [2] = "product2.swf";
    prod_a [3] = "product3.swf";
    prod_a [4] = "product4.swf";
    prod_a [5] = "product5.swf";

    onLoad = Function)
    {
    Description();
    moveScroller();
    loader_mc.loadMovie(prod_a[1]);
    }

    When the file opens, it loads the '2' slot flash file in the table in the "loader_mc" EXCEPT IT DO WORKS NOT IN IE 7? any ideas or help would be great! IE7 handles the different "onLoad"? I made a mistake?

    Thank you Sly one, but that's not the problem I currentl having a Java work around for this. I tried a few different solutions to the problem "click to activate". I found that none of them made a difference.

    I resorted to a solution of 'disorder' but effective. -items I've been hainvg problems with were dynamically loading the text and images. I had the problem by placing the images and the text which was to load 'onLoad', in the boxes as _mc objects. in this way the images were already there and didn't need to be loaded.

    The only two problems with this is
    (A) Firefox and Safari users (including other) screen "Refresh" the image loading. and
    (B) the size of the file was more than 35 KB.

    Thanks for the help everyone, the final is good enough for Government work...
