Sony Vaio suddenly do not recognize the operating system information (sometimes ask my computer to claim it is not authentic) after owning nearly 2 years

I have had my Sony Vaio from January 2011 and I bought from Best Buy with Windows 7 pre-installed. I had no problems with the operating system being true til this summer when my computer wrong not dated and crashed my anti-virus software (screen was blue and the system had a difficult time in commissioning. After much patience and research, I fixed my computer and removed the faulty software. However, sometimes my computer does not recognize my product ID of Windows 7. When I start first my computer, the information is not available and that my computer updates, it will not update as it does not find the correct information. With this, my computer started to warn my that I am victim of counterfeit software. I have no idea where all this comes from and why is - it now say my software may be counterfeit? In the last year and a half, I never had this problem. Also, after a few minutes, my computer cannot find the operating system information and says that it is authentic; which leaves me more confused than ever. Gah. What is happening and what I can do to fix this? (I own the software disc, I got when I bought the computer, but I do not currently have access to it).

I suggest you backup and do a reinstall.

You should consult the documentation supplied with your Sony's Vaio computer on how to reinstall Windows 7. Usually this requires that you start in a recovery environment.

    Hi DCwell1977, while they inspected the drivers of this model, it seems that this unit doesn't have drivers available for Windows 8.1. You can also visit this link and check the compatibility of this model to Windows 8.1. It's not necessarily you cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1, but we cannot guarantee that all the features of this unit will work.

  • How can I get the operating system?

    My computer broke down the month last because of the material. And I had hardware replaced, but I also lost the operating system. I bought my computer in Toronto last year, but I live in China now, so I transferred to China. The computer is still under warranty. But it will expire on January 4,2014. An agent in China told me that I could not order the CD for operating system just because the computer has not bought in China. Can someone help me with the problem?

    Each Dell laptop comes with a recovery of the OS disk and even discs for re-installation of the drivers. If you have lost the CD, download Ubuntu Linux or if you have something to spend, you can buy Windows 7/8 on your choice. In order for the features, Windows 8 and Windows 7 compatibility.

    Unfortunately this is more true. All (not just Dell) computers sold today are supplied without drives. Tablets, ultralight aircraft and some laptops don't even have optical drives. If you must reinstall windows there are several options - using the recovery Partition or Images of system or to order discs from windows or usb thumb drive of the manufacturer, if you are still under warranty.

    Hello

    The best place to ask questions about Office install problems is in the Office Forums.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Office

    It's the operating system Vista Installation Forum.

    See you soon.

  • Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

    OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

    Hi PAM,.

    In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

    To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

    The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

    A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

    An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

    If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

    If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

    Hello world.

    While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

    Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

    The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

    This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

    I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

    Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A300-288 does not load the operating system

    Hello everyone.

    Today I turned on my laptop A300 and does not load the operating system. In other words, Toshiba logo appears, the message "Press F2 to enter SETUP", but not in continuity with the boot. Yesterday it worked and did not update the BIOS or something else.

    Someone has an idea? I deleted a both SDRAM and vice versa, to check that the problem wasn't RAM, but no. There is no beep. LED touch 'NumLock' and other, power on and off when I have impulses, so the keyboard responding but by pressing F2 or F12 does nothing.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Start your laptop with F8 and test if you can start the operating system in safe mode.

  • I was wondering in the era of 3d everything that the operating system has not changed to 3d?

    I was wondering in the era of 3d everything that the operating system has not changed to 3d. like where the BONE is part of work like as if you where he is plunged into a game but the game was the operating system. As windows responding simcity.  so when you interact with something he grows or changes the subject. I'm tired of seeing a 2d world when I know that a 3d world is here. I want to say is that imagine an OS that was alive. like all those science fiction movies. I'm new to programming, but it's just one of my many ideas that I think could change the computer OS never imagine sitting on your couch with 3d glasses and feel like you where in a virtual world.

    One simple reason: convenience.

    The current problem with our 3D technology is that it would be broken by you are going to use the touch interface. Because, after all, it's just an illusion. Now let's talk about resources: do you really want your OS using towards the top of your ram, CPU and GPU to the point where you could not yet to start a game?

    Now think about 5 years computers upgraded... they would be even able to run this OS?

    What happens if there is more than one user per computer? What about people who get migraines of 3D? (shutter put on my glasses and my ability to perform simple tasks similarly is gone in 5 min with migraine resulting)

    Maybe this will be handy one day, we just aren't there yet. Do not give up the hope, however: at the moment where you get one such product coded, the tech world will already be a different place.
