  • I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

    The President complied,

    I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

    Hello ElumBuneri,

    As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

    See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  • License key does not work after a clean install of Windows 8

    To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.

    If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

  • In windows Vista (Home Premium) Remote Desktop connection does not work correctly

    I installed and re-installed my Vista (Home premium) 2 times already because of the remote desktop connection.  I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista.  The remote control works on the other hand the meaning of desktop running vista, laptop running windows 7 Professional.
    Looking at the Vista under \System\Remote setting\Remote tab which shows the remote assistance box, but the Office box where you can choose what type of connection can be established remotely is missing.

    I went though all as responses to forum, but nothing helped.  Even in a "sfc/scannow" command prompt running did not help.  It is said that he finds corrupted files, but it cannot solve all corrupted files.  That's why I reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem but WITHOUT SUCCESS.

    Can anyone help?  I've attached a screenshot of what I see in vista.

    You can connect FROM an original version of Windows to another computer, but you cannot connect to an original version of Windows.

    It is not an 'idea' it's hard cold fact that is at least 12 years old.

  • How can I set at the point when the [key does not work because I have a German keyboard?

    Hi, I'm new to CS6 and worked through the book of Adobe After Effects. Some of the shortcuts do not work for me, probably because I use a German keyboard. In Chapter 11, I have problems because I need to select a layer, go to a specific time and then set to the point, but the [key does not work. Does anyone know a German equivalent or another way to set the point to? Otherwise, if I look at the colored bar in the timeline representing the layer that I want to put a point, can I get the same effect by dragging the edge of the colored bar until I reached the time limit? Or that fails to preserve the relationship of all images existing keys, etc. that I have implemented for a layer in a way that the [key would be? Grateful for any advice.

    Shift + o/a, o/a and so on. Also kann man mit Sttrg + shift + D die ebony einfach und den Teil parts, den man nicht parish, löschen. Ansonsten einfach evil die die Shortcuts.txt Datei deepening und oder das KeyEd Up Script dafur use squad.
