Try to install Vista on my computer

When I try to install Vista on my computer it asks me a username and password and I never had to enter an access code or usemane. So I need to know how to fix this problem?

Read the tutorials below on how to do a clean install:

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

A tutorial on the use of a clean install

Super Guide Windows Vista Installation

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

See you soon.

    The Vista installation disc is a DVD. Apparently, you don't have a DVD player. You would need to purchase/install a DVD-ROM or DVD - RW to install Vista. Are you sure that your hardware supports Vista before doing this?

    Even if a minimum of 1 GB, the requirements in the real world Vista requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM to run without problem. You will also need Vista drivers for all your hardware.

  • When install Vista Home Premium computer hangs on the language selection screen. No visible cursor, the keyboard and the mouse does not.

    Hi, when I try to install vista that Home Premium 32 bits on the computer of my son, through the installation of loading files with the gray bar at the bottom, then goes to the screen language selection, at this stage, I can not select anything using the keyboard or the mouse. There is no cursor visible. Keyboard and mouse both work fine in the bios and on other machines. Have used other keyboards and mice on the machine in question, but that makes no difference. Tried another copy of vista, no difference. Tested on Windows 7 install and everything works fine!

    Very confused, thinking that it must be a driver problem, but how about him? Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Rickydg,

    Thanks for posting. Please contact ASUS and see if there is a BIOS update available for your system. Update the BIOS and then try to install again.

    Hello

    I try to install vista on my laptop but a letter of the key is not visible, all the other parts are very well including the serial code, is there another way to get the key of the other information? The laptop currently has non-OS I've tried to reinstall.

    Thank you

    Product keys are bit-agnostic - they don't care if it's 32-bit or 64-bit.

    However, cannot legally use the recovery disk from one computer to a different constructor machine - as other licenses are not properly paid..

    There is nothing nonetheless to try all possible variations on the absence of character (there are only 25, after all the )

    Other than that, your best option is to contact the manufacturer and order a set of recovery disc for the machine. I do no download available for Vista with SP2 - but you can download Vista with SP1 and create the disc.

  • Pre-installed Vista CD computer Dell laptop allows you to install Vista on another computer of dell desktop originally pre-installed with XP?

    Hello.

    Have an old dell desktop with XP.
    Have a new computer dell laptop with Vista.

    Both came pre-installed.
    Both came with a CD to reinstall Windows.

    Am I allowed to install Vista from that original CD on the desktop?
    I did, then you have the problem (not genuine copy of Vista). I have since reinstalled Vista, but before I completely setting up the office, once again, I want to make sure that I am able to do this (do not want the new not genuine error).

    Specific questions:
    1. am I allowed to use portable CD to install Vista on another computer?
    2. If so, that must be done to ensure the "not genuine" error can't?

    Thanks for any help.

    Reference Dell binds their records to their motherboards.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, 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

    And a Vista license = a Vista Installation.

    Hi n m,

    Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

    I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

    You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

    Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

    Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

    Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

  • Can I install Vista on my computer?

    Hi all!

    I have a home computer built with a card mother gigabyte. When I try to install Windows Vista Home Premium on my computer, it is very slow and said that my HDD AHCI is not compatible. I think that it might be a problem with dAHCI River because I couldn't find one and this is for Windows XP. I tried to run the SATA mode to IDE only for errors later in the installation. Is there a way to get around this?

    Here are my specs:

    I don't understand exactly how errors in the two newspapers are related, but my opinion is that, if I can solve my CheckSUR.log errors, CBS.log errors will disappear to, and then I might even be able to install SP1.

    Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

    For what is interesting, what I ended up doing to solve my problems was to re - install Vista with the 'upgrade' option, so I don't lose any of my files or desktop settings...

    After that, I had a few problems with my OS reinstalled with several (80 +) updates, SP1 and SP2 from catching up.  But overall these problems were minor compared to it, that I lived just to fix some missing files.

  • Try to install on a new computer CS6

    I have a license for CS6 which was bought by my company before I started here.  We are trying to install on a new computer (Windows 7), and when you try to activate it, we get the error "this serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once. "I can 100% guarantee, it has not installed anywhere on our network, because I have the software inventory on each machine, so the machine he used to be on a decommissioned or reinstalled.

    The problem is that I don't know who's ID, it was recorded originally, and nobody stays in the organization know either, so I can't disable the old account.  I tried for a week now to get help from Adobe on this, but it went nowhere.  I keep is directed on the cat, where every time I have to give them all the rundown, as well as the serial number, and the error message, answering the same question on what I tried, etc... and then they say they'll escalate it and someone will get back to me.  And then I get an email saying that they tried to call me but didn't have my extension so couldn't reach me (we dial by name and I also put my extension to my account the first time, it made no difference), and could I go back in the chat to discuss further.  Rinse and repeat.

    We really need this software running, and we are a charity and cannot just buy new licenses when it should be perfectly usable.  And given the support experience I've had so far, I'm not really inclined to reward with more money.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can maybe shortcut through this process?  I sent the proof of purchase (and we still have access to the email address that purchased) several times now as well, and has no we got nowhere either.
