The 'printscreen' key is always used.
I watch seminars online and print them to be able to capture screens and not necessiarily but if they go to a file to print possibly later. Is it in any way possible and how?
The print screen key copies the contents of the screen to the Clipboard. You can then paste it in the appropriate application window. See http://www.ehow.com/how_4780142_use-print-screen-button.html and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Take-a-screen-capture-print-screen

Activate Windows when already activated?I just did a major update to my computer with a new motherboard, video card and processor, and now I get a popup stating the windows key that I use is not valid. The key on the sticker still gives me the same error. Any advice? Activate Windows when already activated?
If your copy of WIndows was preinstalled, it rests on an OEM license.
These licenses cannot be moved to the new motherboard, except under the conditions of warranty replacement.
You will need to purchase a new complete commercial for Windows license.

I can't get my product to enter. It is said that the product key is in use.
I reformatted my computer but I do not enter the product key, because at that time I didn't do it. Do not enter is not the product key when I reformatted it my computer as a free trial for 30 days. I used it for about 3 or 4 days now and yesterday, on December 30, a window popped up and said I had to enter the product key in the next few days 27 or windows would stop working. I entered the product key and he said that the product key is already in use. I tried a few times and it didn't work. Then, I closed the window to shut down my computer. I can't figure out how to get the window upward to try to re-enter. How can I get this window upward to enter the product key? What should I do if she says that the product key is in use?

You must use the Activate by phone and speak to a live operator.
1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) when the automated service asks you what service you need do NOT - this should oblige the operator to pick up, and they can help.

It doesn't damage the laptop if I always use alternating current with battery on?
I have a laptop G7-2017 us and always use whith the power supply, I never move office. I noticed that the battery is exhausted even if voltage AC. Does it damage the battery if I use it always with the ca, the battery must be removed and stored?
# This is not normal.
There are circuits on the motherboard of the laptop computer that monitors battery voltage and it recharges when it goes below a certain amount. If you disconnect the power adapter and plug it in then it starts charging the battery?
Have you ever run the test of the battery which is available in the HP Support Assistant? It's a good idea to do this every four months or more. So it can be used in mobile mode, she was supposed to have, that will keep your battery in good condition.
Best regards

Cannot activate Windows, the product key already in use
Original title: product key already in use.
Recently, my computer crashed (power). Try to avoid problems with my hard drive, I bought the same computer exactly on the line. I installed my old hard drive on the newest computer and all is well... Except, when trying to activate my Windows Vista Ultimate OS I get the error message "The key of product already in use" Microsoft site confirms that the product key is authentic, but still will not let me activate. All solutions?
Your old computer had a "Retail" or "OEM" of Windows installed version?
OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard they are installed and can not be activated on another motherboard. The only exception is the 'mother' is exactly the same make / model / part number as the original motherboard.
Commercial versions can be moved from one computer to another without problem except that the the phone activation may be required.

error message saying that it is the wrong key when you use a sticker
Product key
I have an OEM version of vista Home premium. I'm trying to load on an acer extensa 5420 using the product key on the bottom of the laptop. When I enter the key, I get an error message saying: it's the wrong key. How can I use this disc to reinstall windows?
Hello
The OEM recovery disks are the brand and the specific model
You can't use a disc from another manufacturer
How to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Go to the manufacturing office support web site and search for Windows Vista drivers for your specific model number. Also look for recent updates, even if your PC comes with Windows Vista preinstalled.

How many times can I install Windows on my computer before I have to activate Windows again? You can reinstall Windows on the same computer as many times as you want because activation pairs product key of Windows with information about your computer hardware. If you make a significant hardware change, you may need to activateWindows once again.
for your office activation issues, you will need to ask in the forum link below office activation because this forum is for vista installation issues
normally, if you have any problems with vista or office activation you would use the phone activation

Reinstalled Windows - the product key already in use
I just reinstalled Windows Vista, and when I enter the product key, I thought that my key is already used. How to solve this? My Windows product key sticker is on my computer.
Hi Christian,
It comes by default. In fact, you are using the product key, not someone else. The problem is easily solved. See this link on my site for more details:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
