• Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

  I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

  Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

  Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

  My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.aspx

  Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3327.aspx

  Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.

• Reinstall Vista upgrade Express of Business to ultimate after hard drive crash

  When I bought my first computer at Dell, it had Windows Vista Business installed on the computer.  Shortly after the purchase, I bought an upgrade on Amazon.com to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.  I remember that when I upgraded, a file has been downloaded and executed on the computer that has provided the additional functionality of Vista Ultimate.  The file is stored in my service digital locker.  I think I have the product key that was used after the upgrade (it of in my notes, but does not match the original product code which is on the side of my computer).  In any case, the hard drive crashed and I reinstalled windows vista professional, on the recovery provided by Dell CD.  However, I can't seem to find a way to present a new request the ultimate improvement to the computer (it only gives me vista professional).  Now that the digital locker is gone, I can't recover this file and emails informing her service digital locker went went to an old email account I'm not "check very often (I located the email I was trying to research on mine)."

  Can someone provide me with instructions on how to apply a full new vista computer?  If I think I have the product key for the upgrade, is it possible for this punch in and extract the upgrade feature?  Thanks in advance!

• Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

  I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

  After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

  I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

  However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

  If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

  I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

  Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

  Thanks for listening...

  For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

  But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
  The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

  If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

• Error on blue screen after Vista upgrade and also don't can't activate Windows Vista.

  Hello

  Here is the HP for Vista recovery information.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

• Can a "uninstalled" Vista Upgrade be installed on another machine?

  For various reasons of Dingo, I want to update a computer XP MCE to Vista.  Best price on the upgrade of Vista in my area is a copy that has been installed and then uninstalled.  My question is, the software still allows to update * my * machine?  It is I think I understand that the upgrade process essentially disabled the XP he license upgrades, but is it become "attached" to this license?  Thanks in advance for any info!

  Doug

  If it's a copy retail Vista Upgrade or full installation disc (and you need is product key to go with it to activate the system - yours won't work) then it is perfectly valid, but you will probably need to activate Vista manually after the installation.  It is not reallly invalidate your XP license - it could be used again if you want to re - install XP on the same computer (if it's a sense of OEM license it installed on the computer, it cannot be used on any other computer but that it came installed on).  If it was a copy to the detail of XP that you purchased separately then it can be moved to another computer.  The licenses for the two products are separated and do not cling.  If the Vista disc is a disc of some other computer OEM you should not buy it because this product key can be used on any machine that it was orriginallly installed on and if you try you will be impossible to activate.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Vista upgrade license - lost a tale of woe

  I have such a history of sobbing, but all this is TRUE...

  In January 2008, I bought an upgrade Windows Vista Edition full for my Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) PC. I did it through Windows Marketplace and the so-called "Digital Locker". I had already run Vista upgrade Adviser and found that my computer was quite ready for the new OS. I downloaded the whole package on my HDD immediately that night. In addition, I bought an extension so that the software would be 'safe' to download even more time.

  I soon realized, however, that he was going to take a lot of work to perform the upgrade, including among other things, the old backup data, backup email and custom directories forms hidden from Outlook, etc. So I turned off for awhile...

  Then my wife and I made the decision that I needed to leave the family, move out of the country for several months and try to take off a business project. This meant that I had a LOT to do before I leave and made me to further delay my upgrade. You get the picture...

  All this leads to what is obvious - never, I installed upgrading, even if I paid a lot of money for this. And the installation files sitting on my computer (not used) at home for the duration, about 13 months.

  Then, Microsoft had some kind of unusual idea. They decided to close Windows Marketplace and build a new store from Microsoft. But where it's really me and my purchase?

  They said they sent a few emails warning that would close the Digital Locker service, but due to my absence, the birth of a little boy and other circumstances, I was NOT checking the old e-mail address they had on file for me. At the time when I wanted (and time) to install the OS for now, I discovered that the site had been completely closed. I've taken around to see what I could do about it, but still had so many things I did not as the highest priority, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the work it would take to try to get new (time IS money).

  Now, I have a new network of SBS 2008, and I find that my XP MCE machine I brought from home (and acted for the last months as the peer-to-peer server) cannot join the domain. In fact, I discovered that it CAN, it just made during installation, OR you can use a so-called Hero Hack to get the registry suggests that it is possible.

  But I really don't want to join the SBS my old MCE machine; I want expensive want what I paid for my Vista Ultimate (who wouldn't?)!

  I've now spent hours and hours (8 and counting) Microsoft - on the phone, by e-mail. different departments - and have developed exactly zero. A manager at the Microsoft Store said hotline, after researching the issue, they have determined that there is no record kept of the old Windows Marketplace 'experience' and therefore no way to look to the top of my purchase. Myself, I can hardly believe that some recipes and information they generated through this site Web was everything simply "lost" or discarded.

  Here's what I would like to everyone on this forum interested in helping some poor soul:

  1. I'll post my e-mail address below. Please no spamming, but if you have a product key Vista Ultimate old that you no longer use and would like to donate, feel free to send it to me. I would be sincerely grateful humbly.
  2. If any of you have contact with Microsoft Corporation, please do not hesitate to tell them about my fate and run to the top of the stem. I am confident that someone was able to know what happened to me, they might like to see a happy customer and help me resolve this issue. Note that I am a MCSE (but only on NT4) and spent my life buy legal copiesunder license from everything I have ever installed (including all products of Microsoft, of course). I used to work for WordPerfect Corp., hold myself, my family and my business at a high level. Of course, that contain versions of test, but still...

  I am so disappointed with Windows Marketplace and Digital Locker service. I have paid for the extension of additional downloads. And the thing is, their approach was to never send anything with the details of the purchase,including the product key!

  The following is an exact quote from the email they sent me (I still have the original I found in my Outlook files):

  "You have successfully created an account for the service digital locker at Windows Marketplace." Now you can use the digital locker to download and install the software, recover the licenses,... .and look after your purchase information. »

  "The assistant service digital locker keeps all the license information on your PC to facilitate access. You have more to search your computer or e-mail messages to retrieve this information in one convenient place. [translation] Digital locker service also records billing information for quick and easy extraction on your next purchase. »

  I received this email on 14 January 2008, at 23:13. A minute later at 23:14, I received the following email:

  "Thank you for using the service digital locker at Windows Marketplace."

  "This email confirms that you have purchased successfully:

  "Microsoft® Windows Vista Ultimate UPGRADE".
  Quantity: 1
  Dealer: Microsoft

  "You can now access your license or licenses that have been delivered to your service digital locker."

  And that's all. No price is mentioned; No product key leaked; It was all through the Digital Locker service.

  So there you have it. If you want or can help me, I would be ever so much obliged. Hereby, I PROMISE you that I won't ever crazy enough to wait two years before trying to install something that I bought online, even if it was a task as big as the installation of an operating system! I will gladly accept any form of punishment imposed, with the only exception being to lose the Vista Ultimate license and the hard-earned served to pay for this product (we are a bit poor, butstill I never pirate software). Don't forget, the installation files have been sitting on my hard drive since that night of January.

• Can I install the Vista upgrade to my system if I erased the hard drive?

  I recently struck out everything what one of my hard drives. Can I install an upgrade of Vista on it?

  The requirements for the multimedia upgrade is to have an operating system already qualify as installed Windows XP to use it

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  You can try the following:

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows Vista Upgrade disc.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows Vista DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your Windows Vista key product and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

• Re: Vista upgrade on Equium A100-147

  My wife and I are two retirees on a limited budget and can't afford to change the above machine and we would like to move from XP to Vista. Is it better to be upgraded or reformat and install full programs? Also should I get updates for other programs that are there?

  Thanks in advance

  Ken

  Hi Ken

  To be clear: Vista upgrade shouldn't be problematic. You must obtain Microsoft Vista DVD facilities and make the clean OS install. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  To be honest I have to say that Alan is right about the upgrade and I agree with everything he writes. In the end I have to say: the decision is yours only.

  If you need more assistance please post again.
  Good luck!

• Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

  A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work.

I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

  Can someone offer me some tips?

  Hello

  It's very strange
  How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

  Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
  Or what is exactly happening?

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
  In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

  I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
  But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.

  Hi Jeremy,.

  Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
  There were a total of 10 updates:
  4 a security updates for Vista,
  1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
  1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
  1 windows Live essential 2011

  I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
  I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
  Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
  How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
