upgrade activation code will not work on windows vista premium due to special circumstances. What should I do?
I had vista OEM with laptop which hard drive has crashed, gateway does not support the system more, and I have no recovery disk. I bought Vista premium edition and installed a new hard drive in the solid state, and it won't let me register the software because there is no software on the new drive and I do not have the OEM cd more. I used my old XP install the first (that I replaced on another PC with win7) to try and it has not installed correctly on the solid state. What I can do, I wouldn't buy a full version...
You can use the double-install method to install Vista - * assuming * that you have an OEM license valid for XP or Vista on this machine.
First install Vista using the default key (by penetrates not not in ANY key when you perform the installation), and then repeat the installation, this time using your upgrade key.

But how to download drivers for devices such as bluetooth, Lan, his...Hello
I put t know what phone you use, but many Toshiba notebook series are delivered and support similar hardware parts.
You can simply try to test and install the drivers from different series.The new Toshiba Bluetooth stack supports Vista and you can install it on all the laptops Toshiba which supports the feature of BT.
Sometimes, you will get the chip card driver LAN or compatible Sound on the site of manufacture of chips like Intel, realtek, etc. -

Printer will not work on Windows Vista laptop, but works fine on XP
Original title: printing problems
I installed a printer on my laptop which runs windows vista. The printer worked fine on another computer that worked on windows XP.Is there a compatibility issue with this printer? The printer is an Epson Stylus R200 Photo. Been to the web site of windows and it doesn't seem to be on their list. The R280 is however. Could there be an update or a hotfix for this problem or is it a case of the most recent purchase of a printer?Hello
Hope this will help you...
You may need the driver easyprint V3.10 and the easy CD V2.0?
The R200 has a built in driver windows 7
Driver built-in Windows 7 = several drivers are provided with Windows 7. Just connect your Epson product to your Windows 7 computer and follow the on-screen instructions. If there is a built-in Windows 7 and a download from Epson.com method, choose the download method.

I move to a building with only cable TV reception. I'm planning a ditching of an old, huge (not flat screen) tv and use my monitor s2031 hp with a tv tuner that will receive from a cable connection. I'll pay gladly for channels such as hbo, starz, etc, but my hp s2031 monitor was HDCP, which apparently allows to block channels. Am I incorrect? HP probably has a solution for people who are willing to pay for content. I can't afford a new monitor, and I don't want to lug around my current giant to the new location. The screen on my laptop is much smaller.
You are incorrect. HDCP (content protection high definition) will stop sending analog signals of HD content. Since your HP s2031 monitor has both VGA (analog) and DVI - D input (digital), you'll need to use the DVI - D input, watch HD content. Your cable box is likely to have a HDMI output. To use with your monitor will require a HDMI-DVI cable.

Ive phone microsoft and they say, I have to buy a basic disk and then upgrade with the disk that has always worked for me? any suggestions?
License upgrade and the key that's exactly right, used to upgrade a previous version (Vista, XP) for the version shown on the license (7).
