Hey kimberlynothis

If you have already reinstalled vista and you don't know the product key we can not help you

If you had contacted these forums before you reinstalled vista we helped you with key finder programs

but as this is a new installation of vista not activated we cannot help you find the product key

If it is preinstalled, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them about recovery disks

normally, they do not require you to select a product key when you use them to reinstall vista

you don't say how you reinstalled vista

    Thank you very much!

    What brand is the PC?  Most system builders put the key on the side of the Machine.  If it's a laptop, it should be on the bottom of the laptop.

    It is all the information that we will be able to give you.  If you are unable to find the key, then you will need to purchase a new license.

  • Can I use a number of product key finder instead of the number on the sticker to reinstall windows vista Home premium?

    The sticker on the bottom of the laptop is half faded way so I don't have the original full product key number, the one I have from a product keys finder is different of course it will still work when you perform a full system restore?

    If your Vista is pre-installed when you purchased your computer, you have an OEM version. The only correct product key for your computer is attached to your computer.

    The game of product key that you got through the software 'key finder' will NOT work for you.

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer. Ask what follows...

    1. a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal, and the money will be well spent. You can use the set to restore your computer to factory State.

    2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask technology to teach you how to access your recovery Partition and use it to make the recovery of the system. They installed the recovery partition, not Microsoft. They know exactly how to use it.

    The advice above do not require using the product key.

    IM WONDERING NOT IF I CAN FOLLOW USING THE COMPUTER WIN 7 PRODUCT KEY!

    If you know the correct product key, you can block the user in use- but it won't stop them reformatting and reinstalling using recovery disks from the manufacturer to reinstall using the OEM_SLP key - and it would also prevent your use your laptop must be returned.

    You must contact one of the centers of activation and inform them of the keys and the circumstances.

    They will then issue a global block on the key (which can take a long time) which will result in any attempt to validate or activate any system with this key, which gives a non-genuine message on the desktop - it will NOT prevent the use of the system, and it will NOT stop the user both take steps to steal the data and/or reformatting/reinstall.

    Also note that the key on the COA sticker on the case of the machine is not normally the one in use,- and if the key OEM_SLP is still in use, MS can take no action at all, as thousands of others would be affected.

  • Re: Satellite P500 of USA - can not read the local DVD

    Hello

    Sorry to appear such a luddite acquired but this laptop great USA from eBay.
    User manual appears to indicate that the player is going to adapt to the locality of the drives I want to play.

    Not had any luck with playback at all to this day, the error message 'not compatible' etc., any guy of suggestions?

    See you soon,.

    Hi mate

    I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

    To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

    My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

    Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died.  I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk.  I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium.  How can I get this drive?  Acer sells not more the disc for this model.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    As Acer does not have them, you have 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:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hey bman1990

    license product key a vista = an installation of vista on a computer

    but you can reinstall this dvd and product key of vista on the same computer as many times as necessary to make it work again properly on that computer

    If it is an oem product key, it is related to the original computer that it is installed on this computer life

    If a retail product key you can transfer it to another computer, but once more it can only be installed on a computer at any time
