• Product key not valid on Vista Business

  I purchased 2 Toshiba Satellite about 2 years ago. They have every two Windows Vista Business preloaded and none of them has been altered in any way. They have both worked perfectly for about a year and it still works perfectly now.
  But the other suddenly decided that the Windows product key is not valid and I can't get Windows running except in reduced functionality mode.

  Could you please explain how this happens suddenly someone and what can be done to reverse the trend.

  Hello

  It's not explainable to me the Toshiba and OS recovery in this disc disc is already activated and does not need to be reactivated.

  I think that some damaged registry or affected Microsoft OS in a strange way updates

  I think that you could solve this recovery of the laptop using the Toshiba disc.
  Sorry mate, but that's all I can suggest

• Number of validation for Vista winhlp32.exe

  I have Vista and you install winhlp32.exe for Vista. I can't get a validation number on the Microsoft support site.

  I click on continue and get a window of genuinecheck.exe instead of the Options/execute window for the validation issue.

  Wanted to give you a follow-up for your help.  I found a person who opened at genuinecheck.exe. After providing the information required, it ran and installed the program without going through the validation number forest. If I need to do something more to give you credit, let me know. Thank you, John

• Not a copy valid Windows Vista.

  yesterday, there was an update on my computer, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2570791 then, I went to work and back on my computer and it came with a message saying that this isn't a valid copy of windows, I then click on validate windows, he sat there for 2 hours trying to validate. I then tried the support of vista and when I put in the product code, it is said that this is not a version recognised in the country I (United Kingdom). I don't want to pay £46 just to get a response from Microsoft, so any help would be appreciated.

  Concerning
  Pete.

  p.s. The computer it's on a run the same copy of windows for 3 + years, the badge is on my computer and I still have the original supplied with this version of Vista box.

  This seems OK - the only problem I see is that it seems that Windows has not yet been committed - to fix this, go here www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate and validate Windows - if it passes, it will be offered MSE and IE9 (you have not accepting).

• Validation of Vista Home Premium

  I am UNABLE to ENTER my Vista Home Premium thus having power outages frequent and unable to upgrade entirely.

  Well I have had done several here with VALID according to the booklet numbers provided by who I got the OS installed but now have less than twenty days to VALIDATE the OS and I'm very afraid. Niether can I download service pack 2, which you will agree is a MUST.

  Please notify.

  Hi basudebbano,

  'Validate', I guess you're saying that you can not activate your copy of windows on the internet? In fact you don't say this error you have found that you can't activate. Have you tried to activate windows by phone? See this link from my Web site: http://www.winuser.co.uk/windows_vista_faq/87_product_key_already_in_use.html the link title may in fact be not applicable to you, but the content of the article explains how to activate by phone. As explained in the article if you can not always activate by using the telephone option (the line is automated) then completed the automatic sequence stay online and you will be transferred to a 'real' person who should be able to help solve your problem.

• 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.

• If you have a valid Windows Vista license, why are there not support which includes downloads of the files we can need to overwrite your file should are corrupted due to a virus or malware?

  I am an unlucky recipient of a laptop with Windows Vista. It came preloaded with Vista... no backup disks or manuals, etc. The restore feature was not turned on, so a restore point has not been set. My WMP will not play wmv or any wmp files. I also have problems with my automatic updates in Windows. I have 10 updates that were not successful, but there are probably pages of the attempts of many times where the updates failed. My Trend Micro Titanium Internet tells me I have a problem in my directory root, which is probably due to an update of Windows that was supposed to protect me from a weakness in Vista, but again once with my updates failed to download successfully, its possible the fix I need is still sitting there... I think it's a shame that MicroSoft is allowed to 'SELL' a product without disk... just a license # and NO manuals. AND not a lot of support for your money... or the other. I spent hours and hours trying to fix myself... using all the resources I can find... look like a dummy, I'm sure, but if I had the software I probably would have deleted from my hard drive and more. It would certainly have saved me MONTHS of frustration. Trend Micro and real human support downloaded the plus version of their software for me and recent, plus a few extras to eradicate certain other pests. To get a human being to help you at MicroSoft? It will be $60, please... Sorry, if I look a little tired, but you guys are supposed to be the best and I feel fuzzy. I have been in sales for a long time. long time AND sold the BEST AMERICAN made cars... CADILLACS, but you know if I take care of my clients after the sale... they would have felt like I do, today... disappointed. If every time they came into the dealership I have loaded the $$ to take care of them, they don't come back to me when the NEW models came out... I made sure they got their cars back washed... and they sent their friends to buy from me. And ILS never thought to buy from anyone else, actually when I left the company, I had a nice little legacy of clients in order to let my protégé.

  Thanks (again) Darin - especially for such a detailed response.

  Looks like you're in the clear, Phyllis :)

• 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.

• Try to install Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, but says I have already installed

  I have problems of fixing a friends computer.  He is currently running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 with the OEM sticker on the bottom with the key, but he lost the installation discs.  To help make repairs, I have a valid Windows Vista repair disc and the Ultimate Boot CD on two different USBs.  The symptoms are:

  Three addons will install successfully, I restart, and they are uninstalled back again.  The installed updates window shows nothing.  I have the CBS.log newspaper and the CheckSUR.log if you do not want to see them.  There are a lot of mistakes in both of these balls

  If I download service pack 2 manually and try to install it, it says I need to install service pack 1 first.  If I download SP1 manually and try to install it, it says I already have service pack 1 installed.  If I try to install KB947821 it hangs the first time 75% and crashes to zero then.

  The machine has problems with the .net Framework.  I noticed that programs seem to corrupt and the only way to fix it is to clean the .net Framework and reinstall it.

  The computer has recently been scanned with a full scan of Norton and no errors found.  There is no antivirus or active windows security options because I was trying to get the updates to install.  I'm in safe mode with network currently.

  Things I've done:

  I read a lot about this problem with a recovery partition.  My recovery partition was the flag of boot top, so I spent my drive main and then booted from the disk to repair Windows Vists the flag and ran the Startup Repair.  He set up the main drive of OS as the boot partition, but that does not solve the problem.

  In order to exclude any form of corruption of MBR, I wiped the MBR and ran the /fixmbr tool to restore the MBR.  This does not seem to help anything either.

  There is a tool to repair WIndows Update, called a "Microsoft Fix it." I ran this in normal and aggressive modes without change.

  Please let me know what information you want.  I tried it for awhile and I don't think I'll get it without help.

  Hi Jeremiah,.

  Based on the information provided (especially errors in the CBS logs), there seems to be several packages in Windows that are damaged or corrupted. They could become this way through several scenerios (3rd party program interaction causing files to be moved or deleted, antivirus software can make a mistake of components to update valid as malicious, or even malware infection). Currently, there are a few options.

  You could try manually repair all the packages that are in your CheckSUR report and then try to run the updates again.

  Perform a upgrade in Place to attempt to repair the components.

  Perform a clean installation to repair all the features of the operating system.

  All these choices are not the largest road to go down, unfortunately at this stage with the damage caused to your system, these are the few options left to fix.

• Windows Vista activation key is invalid.

  We've had this laptop for about 3 years now.  We recently had to take in our repair guy and he re-installed Windows Vista for us.  The laptop worked great since then (several weeks) until the end of last week.

  We started getting a pop up notice to activate Windows.  I was hesitant to click on it until I could talk with our guys from the computer.  In the meantime our wallpaper would disappear anytime we stop or restart the machine.  Then this morning when I started the computer upwards the lower right got the message: "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  I called our repair guy and he said that happens sometimes with a re - install.  He said to go and activate Windows.  When I do, before I even get to a place to enter the activation key, the box that opens shows "Windows Vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation".

  It follows with the options: "Buy a new product key online", "Type a different product key" or "Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem."  I chose the second option, using the product key on the bottom of our machine and got the message "the product key you entered is not a valid Windows Vista product key.  Please check your product key, and then type it again. "I checked the key and spruced up and got the same message.

  Can someone help me please understand what is the problem and how to fix it?  Or at least provide a way to talk to a living person as the "Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem" option in my head of activation window me to a page that had me trying to activate, which opened in the same window that I had already opened.

  So, after all the time that I spent to fight with this problem and check and recheck the product key, it seems I should actually check the prescription of glasses - I was confused with a 'B' for '8 '.  Once I typed the key * correctly * everything was fine.  I even restarted my computer twice to be sure that all "stuck".  Sheesh, I feel stupid.

  Thanks for your help. :-)
