  Hello

  Did you change your computer?

  I suggest you to follow the methods and check.

  Method 1:

  Problems with installing updates

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-installing-updates

  Method 2:

  If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you try to disable temporary and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.

• 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.

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

  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

  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

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

  Hello

  In Safe Mode does not allow to do something, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
  3. Advanced Tools Overview
  4. Conclusion

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  Here is a link to it:

  ___________________________________

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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:

  "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.
