• Activation problem with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition

  Recently, I had a problem with my office that was running Windows Xp Pro.   After having tried to reformat the computer with my installation disc, something was holding me back upwards.  Thus, recently bought a laptop with Windows vista on it I used the disc that comes with it.  Note: I ordered this laptop for Windows 7, vista is no longer running on this laptop.  Everything installed very well on my office with the exception of one problem it won't let me activate windows.  Now, it's my copy of windows vista that I paid for.  It runs on a single computer in my office.  I have validated my software on my desktop and it's been validated.  Now why not activate Windows Vista?

  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.

• Satellite A200-1d(a): various problems with Windows Vista Mail

  Model: Satellite A200-1d(a)
  O/s: Windows Vista editions Home Premium more
  Background: Recommended for a parent, now transformed into 'support harassment ".

  The behavior of Windows Mail is displayed is non-standard and unreliable, for example:

  Creating new folders local they are initially displayed in the list of folders (left sidebar), if the mail is restarted they disappear and reappear only if they are selected after clicking on "local folders". Other than the Inbox, local folders and the Microsoft? (used for notes, etc.), all the other default folders are missing, either sent, sent, drafts box, etc.

  Another minor issue is that windows mail does not seem to recognize when the status of the internet connection changes from unavailable to available, in order to empty the Outbox and send emails, it is necessary to restart windows Messaging.

  A number of occasions, all messages disappear from your Inbox and all other folders are not available, the only solution to this problem seems to be a reboot of the laptop.

  This link seems to suggest that there is a problem with the security software which is now Norton Internet Security (configured and bundled with the laptop):
  http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/551829-Windows-Mail-doesn ' t-display - messages.html

  I tried to disable email inbound/outbound scanning in Norton, but it made no difference.
  Next step is to apply:

  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7701X30005R01.htm

  and then remove Norton Internet security

  Any ideas?
  Other than the foregoing the laptop is fine, looks like a problem of s/w for me.

  Hello

  I can't provide an exactly the solution to this problem of Vista Mail but to me, it looks like a Microsoft Vista operating system problem and not Toshiba Satellite.
  I don t think there could be a problem with the hardware that's why we should look for solutions.

  Now you will ask where a software solution? In my opinion, you should check the knowledge base Microsoft for some useful tips.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/search/
  and the solution center in Windows Vista
  http://support.Microsoft.com/windowsvista

  But first make sure that your Vista operating system is up-to-date and you have already installed all the updates and patches!

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
  Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

  The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.

• Problems with Windows Vista update error code I get is Code: 80096001

  Hi gang,.

  I need help I can get at this point. I am currently working on a machine to a customer who had the rootkit zero.access top. The machine works like a champ, now that it is all clean; but for some reason any Windows Vista refuses to update. Let me mention the operating system before proceeding. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I try to run Windows Update, the machine has a total of seven updates to install; This is especially important and option. In the important section, the machine is trying to install a security update and that is 9. In the optional section, the machine is trying to install the driver as updates: video, network, etc. The PC is already running Service Pack2. The error code I get is: 80096001. I tried every fix that Microsoft recommends, even the Microsoft Fix It tool. Nothing seems to work. I had a simular problem before in Windows XP. If my memory is good, I had to go to the entry in the registry of Windows Update and apply a DWORD here, or something; I don't remember exactly what I did. I can tell you that I checked the registry and there is literally no key to change in Windows Update. Any help or advice would be great, this question is about to drive me crazy.

  Thank you

• What is the problem with Windows Vista?

  It's Windows Vista just bad or what!

  Sorry for my title, but I have had serious problems lately and it has been really frustrating.  This all started when I got a game, Civilization V, to be exact, as a gift.  Now, I use a laptop that is not done for the games, but I am able to run games of different strategy on a low setting without problem.  When I installed Civilization V, however, it did not work, saying that I had to download Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

  The reason why I didn't have SP2 was because I disabled the auto-update feature.  I did not want Microsoft to auto-updated my computer because it just add more files to my computer - right which may be unnecessary, i.e. IE and take hard drive space.  However, because I really wanted to play the game, I was like, so can download SP2.

  This is when the problems started to arise.  First of all, somehow, I'm done with DirectX 11.  From my understanding, XP is associated with DirectX 9, Vista with DirectX 10 and Windows 7 with DirectX11.  I have Windows Vista, but I have DirectX 11 is installed.  How is that possible?  This in turn makes Civilization V quite unstable.

  But, I'm not really upset to have the correct version of DirectX, because in all honesty, I have accidentally installed when I installed the game.

  WHAT I'M REALLY UPSET is how SP2 has completely messed up my computer.  First of all, he did my laptop completely unstable.  My starting times vary.  Sometimes, I have a blue screen when I start my computer.  Also, it has substantially increased the amount of energy/process my uses of the computer.  While my laptop has a skinny 1 HR autonomy on SP1, it has now a little 15 min autonomy on SP2.

  But perhaps what really upsets me is that since I installed SP2, I've lost half a gig of hard drive space whenever I restart my computer.  And since my computer has become unstable, I have to reboot more often then usual.  I got 10 GB of free hard disk space and now I only have 200 MB.  I tried 'disk cleanup', but now my computer has only 4 gigs.  Where's the other 6 GB?

  And the worst, Vista is that research is absolutely useless.  Find recent files that have been created (since if I lose 500 MB every time you start, I need to create some sort of file), but my search comes up with no results.

  I write because I need solutions to these three things:

  (1) how can I make SP2 uses less memory and processes?  I wish that my life of battery 1 h back instead of 15 min.

  (2) MOST IMPORTANT: How can I prevent my computer whenever I restart the loss of 500 MB of hard drive?

  (3) what are the means that would allow me to search my computer so that I can understand why I keep losing hard drive space?

  I can't believe that Microsoft will come out with an "update" which downgrades your computer actually.  And I am sure that I do not have a virus, because I have not downloaded anything / visited all websites summary recently at 90%.

  Thank you.

  Access your site from manufacturers of portable, specific to your model and update all the drivers available.

  Then to winupdate parameters depend on important updates ONLY, by installing not important updates, you leave your computer at risk and bug fixes will not be implimented

  A battery degrades over time

  The direct X version installed / updated will be required for your system to Directx 11 is released in 2008 and was designed for Vista/Win7

  You don't mention the size of your disk or free space. There are many things that can eat disk space

• Strange problem with Windows Vista / & Dual Boot of Win 7, Vista is there, but is not...

  I have sucessfully partioned primary SATA drive in my old Dell XPS desktop computer for 1 year so I could dual-boot between Visat & Win 7, but that the process be re-sizing / partitioning, or installing Windows 7 posed problem with dual booting (MBR) which I was able to fix via the process of startup repair & recovery.

  Unfortunately, when I try to boot into Vista from the Boot Manager screen, I can get as far as the Welcome screen and then the screen turns white.  At some point, I think I saw an error message referring to a bad or Rundll file missing (I think it is)

  However, if the blank screen, I can do a Ctrl-alt-del and bring up the options menu to lock the computer, switch users, log, change password or start the Task Manager.  When I select the Task Manager, I see several Services & processes running.  It seems that Vista is running, but I can't do it...

  If I select log-off, I get the newspaper colorful off the screen.

  Any idea?

  Should I continue with the process of startup repair & recover?  I don't think the fix bootrec applies more, correct?   In addition, I unfortunately do not have the CD original Vista because it is a Dell system with all the stuff of recovery on the hard drive... (GRRRR!  ) which I think is a no recovery before I changed them were leaving...

  Thank you!

  Try this for Vista startup repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
