Validation of Vista Home Premium

• How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?

  My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050.  Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid.  Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk.  What can I do?

  The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key.  This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system.  The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.

  If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.

• activation / validation with vista home premium problems

  Someone at - it not a phone. to activate vista by telephone to the United Kingdom. I had to reinstall my system on a DELL pc using the original disks supplied by Dell.

  Since last week I've only been able to boot in safe mode. When I try a normal startup, I get one of the following 3 messages.

  1. a change is filed with your license and directs me to validate online. This method fails.

  2. an unauthorized change was made to windows, go to the line to see how to repair windows. ALL the suggested solutions do not cure the problem.

  3. 0xc004d401 error code.

  This problem has been ongoing for more than 1 week and my PC is of no use. I printed pages & pages of proposed solutions from microsoft at the moment through my laptop & spent hours to try them without any result. I tried to use the restore of the system on more than one occasion. no change.

  I reinstalled the system twice with the same results. Updates take ages to install. Service pack 1 downloads but does not completely install & so I can't install service pack 2

  I think the only solution is to activate by phone, but I can't get a number for the United Kingdom. PLEASE PLEASE HELP. Council of State if this problem is not resolved quickly I would grab back to XP & regarding the upgrade to 7 NO LUCK

  As it says in the link - Uninstall BitDefender and then install SP1 and SP2.

  You must then reinstall BitDefender and display another MGADiag report.

• Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit of Validation. Can't I just buy a no serial online?

  Last year I had a Dell XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit pre-installed. Since then, I've changed over the entire computer with the exception of the still installed with Vista boot drive. Now, the system tells me the software is invalid, and it must be validated.

  I realize as OEM OS' are is not supported, but why can't I just buy a new serial of MS no? Does this mean I have to buy Windows 7 since Vista isn't the case to buy more?

  Thank you

  -Mario

  Hello Mario,

  I suggest that you contact Dell. Software OEMS is pre-activated and assistance is the responsibility of the OEM - in your Dell case. Explain to them what happened and they should be able to help.

  By 'Validate', I assume you mean 'enable '. Have you actually tried activating the software to see if it will turn on? If you have tried to enable you get a message saying that the "product key is already in use"? If so, take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  You may also like to telephone line (free in most countries) activation by following the instructions in the article above. Explain to them your problem and they may general counsel.

  There is no product keys, they must be purchased with physical media, that is, the Vista DVD. Don't try to buy one on EBay or places like that because they are usually pirated copies and the product key would have been blocked by Microsoft, so you will be in the same boat as you are now.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Validation in Windows Vista Home Premium at the start: errors and complications.

  I was directed to this forum as a last chance for my situation.  I'll copy what I wrote before:

  First of all: I can't run Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool.

  With that of the road, I'll try to explain my situation.  Earlier today, I ran in the hope to get rid of some unnecessary files in disk cleanup. Well, he eventually delete most everything out of my C: drive.  So I ran a restoration of the system to an earlier time.  After the restoration, I tried to connect but received a box saying that my Windows Vista Home Premium product key is not valid.  They gave me three options:

  Reduced functionality mode (does not work; see below)

  Enter the product key

  Contact HP - do you have this: they wanted $ 100.

  Now before to get started by offering suggestions, you need to get more information.

  I can't use the reduced functionality mode.  When I click on it, an error with file not found window appears.  The only way I can access my desktop is by going into safe mode, and I can't go in safe mode with network.  So based on this little bump in the road, I was not able to use the tips I found online, because none of those working in safe mode.

  Now there is more.  Frustrated, I tried to follow guides anyway.  So I followed the following steps:

  Step #3 game

  (1) open Internet browser

  (2) Type%windir%\system32into the browser address bar.

  (3) find the CMD.exe file

  (4) make a right click on CMD.exe and selectrun as administrator

  (5) type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, click Yes)

  (6) type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing

  (7) type: Rename tokens.dat tokens.bar

  (8) type: cd %windir%\system32

  (9) Typenet start slsvc

  (10) type: cscript slmgr.vbs - FLIR (it may take time for this will be complete, please be patient)

  (11) restart twice

  Not only that not solve my problem (since I was in safe mode I was refused permission), but it has created a new problem.  Now when I start my computer normally, IM is more given three options (reduced functionality mode, enter a product key, contact HP).

  Instead, when I log on, an error pops up saying: "Insert the Windows CD or installation DVD into your computer to begin the process of resettlement." Now, my computer was shipped with windows and everything installed by the factory with the sticker on the side of the tower.  I have no Dvd or Cd.

  I've had this computer for almost 3 years and I can not lose what I have on my computer. I have a genuine copy of Windows.  I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now.

  I used these links:

• Upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium (not the valid product key problem) to Windows 7 Home premium

  My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

  You cannot transfer a license from another computer to another computer, especially if the license came with this machine. You will need to purchase a new license.

  Yes, you can purchase a license of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium and use it.

• Valid product key for Windows Vista Home Premium

  So I recently brought a computer gateway two months ago with Windows Vista pre-installed on my computer. He had a problem some time ago, and a friend fixed my computer for me but in order for him to correct that he had to hold the operating system (Windows Vista) power off and turn it back on. I don't know what else he did to remedy, but it was working fine when I came back. He worked for several weeks to date. When I switch it on now the windows activation said windows ' windows vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation "options to solve this problem are the following:

  Access your computer with reduced functionality - this option logs not me in all takes me on the website of windows and asks me to buy new vista
  OR
  Type a different product key - this option only allow me to enter some characters of my product key.
  OR
  Contact dell to help solve this problem

  The laptop will now only let me use the laptop internet for searching the help/customer support. I tried manually stop, however at startup comes once again with the same error. I don't know how to fix this problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  I called the manufacturer and microsoft, but the two keep me referring to eachother, and I continue to revolve around callling in round two, nothing has been solved and no one gave me answers or resolutions

  Yes I can help you.  Open an Administrative command prompt.  Under start accessories then right-click command run as administrator.  At the command prompt, type enter this hit "slmgr.exe /upk".  then type "slmgr.exe /cpky" press enter then type "slmgr.exe /rearm" when you restart you will be asked to enter the key.  Enter one on the sticker on the side of the computer.  You should be good.  WARNING If you do this and the key is not software then maybe you victum of pirated software.  Really, it seems that your friend has stolen the key or installed a pirated version.  If you do not now, it can happen again.

• Crash in Windows Vista Home Premium

  My Dell with Windows Vista Home Premium OS desktop computer crashed.  How can I get a new Installation of Vista, or the recovery disc when I have an activation key valid for my OS.  I can only start in safe mode and can't access the Internet on this subject.

  Hello

  You can contact Dell and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

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

  Here's how it works with a Dell:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens and / or your recovery partition is damaged, 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.

• Where can I get a free copy of Windows Vista Home Premium for a laptop Sony Vaio I have my product key, but need to the floppy?

  where can I get a free copy of windows vista edition Home premium? I tried to restore my laptop without success. I think I need a copy of the installation disc so that I can reinstall it with my current product key

  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  Tricky

• Problems with windows update, run sfc/scannow and boot into safe mode. (Vista Home Premium)

  Hi all

  Please bear with me here that I try to explain all the questions I have with my computer right now. I'll try to explain everything that self-organization as possible, but if you need more information or file papers to provide a solution more precise, do it me know.

  To start, I use a HP Pavilion dv6000 series (dv6748us to be exact) with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) installed. (Service pack 2). About 6 months ago I got this laptop from what I believe was the conflicker virus (kept forwarding pages, arrested updates and antivirus programs, etc.) and I managed to get Windows Update works again. My help and Support did not work well, it only worked in Mode without failure, so I did some research and tried a bunch of suggested corrections (update the registry, etc.) and got it work yet once again. I don't know if one of the tools that I used all by setting the Help & Support could have caused problems that I now (as I literally tried everything under the Sun until I got to work), but my Windows Update does not work properly again.

  A few weeks ago, I installed some updates and restarted the computer, but updates did not finish install on reboot. He said the usual "Configuring Updates, do not turn off your computer", but never showed percentage complete or whatever it is. It restarted, and when I open Windows Update, he said the last time I checked the updates has never been (obviously not true), and when I tried to check the updates, it jumped right to the message telling me I have to restart my computer to complete the installation of updates. She continues to do everytime I open Windows Update. From time to time, I try to restart it, just to see if it will work, and he never does.

  I spent hours trying all the solutions I could find in Google. I tried to run system update readiness tool, which seemed to run correctly (but does not solve the problem). I then tried the difficulty it for Windows Update, and it does not solve the problem. (It might be important for me to mention that I also have problems with the difficulty It Center itself, too. Individual tools like that for Windows Update is running, but the difficulty It Center program keeps giving me the error message that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start.") I also tried to rename the pending.xml file, and then later I deleted it, after reading in another forum that you rename the file could cause system instabillity or something like that.

  Unfortunately, I can't use system restore to solve all my problems, because all my previous restore points have disappeared (I don't know if the virus wiped out them, or if the computer removed on its own) but restore points only I checked are those that have been created recently, during the time I had these problems.

  I tried running sfc/scannow nothing helped, as he continues to tell me that there is a pending repair, but repair pending never ends. I tried to use the command of /revertpendingactions of dism.exe/image:C\/cleanup-image in the command prompt of recovery center to stop it pending repairs, and that has not worked because it claims that dism.exe that does not exist / is not a valid command. No matter what I try, I can't have this pending repair or my updates to complete pending.

  I tried to boot mode safe several times as well and he hung up on crcdisk.sys when starting every time.

  Being that I can't use sfc/scannow, System Restore, or get into Safe Mode, I'm really lost as to what I should do next. I'm honestly not sure if the problems are related, but I just thought it would make sense to list them all in one place.

  Please note that I don't want to re - install Windows Vista, or don't I think I need, because the computer works very well for most. (I use it for typing this right now). I had much rather bring all the features on mine, which I believe can be achieved with the help of the right person.

  If someone could provide me with suggestions/solutions, it would be greatly appreciated! Certainly, it would relieve a lot of stress for me!

  DISM is a thing of Windows 7. First test the hardware.

  Standard hardware troubleshooting
   
   
  First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...

   

  Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

   
  Diagnosis of memory

  If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.

   

  S.M.A.R.T
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   
  Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
   
  WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List

   

  If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.

   

  Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.

   

  In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
   
  Run chkdsk

  In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

   

  SFC

  Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).

   

  sfc/scannow

   

  Heat

  Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.

   

  For memory diagnostic results

  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.

   

  Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

   

  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

  For results of Chkdsk

  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.

   

  Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
  Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
  Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
  Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
  
  Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk
  Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
   
  PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
   
  For the results of the SFC
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   

  findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "

   

  It will be able to see which files are corrupted.

   

  To see if there

   

  findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

   

  There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.
