• Can I use a product key Vista Business OEM with retail Vista Business install disc on the original OEM computer?

The computer was demoted in XP and now there is something wrong and Windows fails to start (goes to blank blue screen with the mouse pointer, no further).

  No, this is not possible. I guess that you don't really want
  "retired", and that XP has been installed clean.

  and now there is something wrong and that Windows will not start

  Something new, or it never does to start XP?

  No. an OEM product key does not work with a retail CD. The CD and the
  product key must match with respect to retail vs OEM, complete vs.
  Upgrade and family or professional.

  Whatever you do, you must first copy the Word documents and music
  files from external media: CD, DVD, USB keys, eternal hard drive
  etc. Even if could do an upgrade (which you do not have a key for) you
  should do it because there is always a risk of losing everything.

• Memory minimum allocation for Vista Business Edition with Visual Studio 2008 VM?

  Long time listener, first time caller...

  Please excuse me if this question is answered somewhere else, I tried from Google and it came only with a response that was sort of what I was looking for, but was specific to a Macbook with Fusion...

  I want to create a Vista Business Edition (SP1) virtual machine with Visual Studio 2008 (which I think also is delivered with SQL 2005 Dev Edition) and I was wondering what the minimum memory allocation should be for this in order to make it work properly?

  Thank you

  Jim

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Amount of minimum support from Microsoft for Vista Business is 512 MB and 768 MB or more recommended for Visual Studio.  1280MB is the minimum.  Personally, I do not want anything less than 2 GB to a virtual machine with Vista and Visual Studio - 1 GB each.

  One of the great benefits of virtualization is that you can start this virtual machine with 1.5 GB and try it.  If the memory is not sufficient, then it is simple to give another 0.5 GB to the virtual machine and try again.

  Good luck!

• have replaced vista Home Premium, with a fresh install of Win 7 pro full of detail. Can I use Vista lic. on a new box as it will always be active on one box only?

  the question in the title,

  Hi, Jim,.

  Windows 7 update?

  If a version upgrade, I do not think so because if detects before installing the files of the previous OS (Vista).  If the previous operating system is not there, it will not be installed.

  If you have wiped the drive and installed Windows 7 and Windows Vista is the OEM supplied with the system, version no.

  A retail version of Windows Vista could be transferred from one pc to another if the previous pc is wiped.

• Windows VISTA Premium comes with Windows Defender installed. Mine somehow was deleted and now it won't let me redownload it. Said that I already have.

  When I try to download Windows Defender, I get the following message... You need not install it because Windows Defender is included in Windows VISTA. You can access Windows Defender from the Security section of the Windows Control Panel... From there on, I get the following message...

  I want to REALLY Windows Defender back. How can I do?

  This thread you latch on is almost 2 years.

  Should have started a new one for you.

  To answer your question:

  > Do I need advocate? I use AVG free Edition 2012 and Wise registry cleaner.

  1 AVG is supposed to close Windows Defender. This is because AVG has his own Defender. To have 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
  Thus, you don't need Windows Defender if you moy.

  2. I HIGHLY recommend that you uninstall the registry cleaner.
  In the hands of the users done computers, registry cleaner could be useful.
  In the hands of novice computer users, it's a time bomb.

• How can I get a key product validation for Windows XP to the OEM of Vista Business downgrade, which came with my laptop?

  I recently bought an Asus laptop that came with a genuine product key Vista Business OEM. I want to downgrade to XP and have installed a copy of XP OEM for this purpose I have found information on the internet indicating that I would be able to contact Microsoft, explain my desire to downgrade, to provide them with my Vista Business product key, and they would provide me a product key for XP, I could then use to activate the copy of XP I have installed.

  However, it seems that it is more possible, because all the support activation is automated, and I was able to get a Microsoft service on the phone representative to activate my new installation of XP. How can I do to receive a product key for XP and activation of my installation?

  Thank you

  Scott

  Thanks for the replies, you two! I called Asus, and they said that, since they do not recommend the downgrade, they do not downgrade disks provide, or provide for XP Pro license keys in case a user wants to downgrade. I told them about the rights of download, which I had heard before on the MS site support and they have always said they wouldn't / couldn't provide me with a license key, even if it was for OEM Windows XP distribution. Ah, well!

  I don't think that Asus just "recommended" it or not!

  They must conform to Microsoft.

• Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  Upgrade/license transfer

  I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

  If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

  Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

  How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

  Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

• Windows 7 Ultimate does not show wallpaper after update in Vista Business

  I did the upgrade from Vista business to Windows 7 Ultimate and cannot make a wallpaper of work. I can select only solid colors, but not images or slideshows. I googled for similar problems and it seems people offer various solutions, including through 0 to some attributes of registry related to Active Desktop under HKLM or HKCU Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies... And also checking / unchecking a few boxes that appear under easy access control panel, but nothing seemed to help. So I'm a bit lost and it's pretty depressing always focus on the black background, knowing tones of beautiful images are waiting for show it :(
  Can anyone suggest what can be done in this case? New - only full office colors can be changed at this point...

  I finally thought to myself... I don't know which two actions helped, but here's what I did:

  1. I made an order of setwallpaper default under various graphic files pointing to Windows Photo Viewer CLSID extensions (before they were pointing to a different CLSID, which I believe was Office Fax Viewer - {ff609cc7-d34d-4049-a1aa-2293517ffcc6}). Here's how I did it:

  -In RegEdit, I searched "wallpaper" and under HKCR\SystemFileAssociations, he found several extensions (.bmp, .jpg, etc) where I swapped the value for a key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.bmp\Shell\setdesktopwallpaper\Command\DelegateExecute' of {ff609cc7-d34d-4049-a1aa-2293517ffcc6} to {FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}

  - Then he found similar key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - their values were already set to {FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}, but it won't hurt to check

  2 then I removed the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper". This key has an empty value - so I assumed that there is not much use and then shortly after I did it I got my wallpaper of the theme chosen.

• OS - Vista Business downgrade down to XP

  Hello

  I just took delivery of a "Toshiba Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9 - Core 2 Duo T7300 2 GHz - 15.4"TFT".» Great laptop, but the operating system is very slow... transfer files, access to the internet.

  I understand that the license allows me to downgrade to XP. The question is how can I do this, because this operating system is not ready for the technology on my laptop.

  1 Toshiba provide me with a XP OS disk?
  2 Toshiba provide me with new XP drivers for my laptop?
  3. I have trouble with XP recognizing my hard drive due to the SATA drives.
  4. Why is it only a "Vista drivers download' on the toshiba support site - y at - it not a similar"Download XP drivers?

  ***********************

  If you want Windows XP Pro on a new machine, Windows Vista (Business or Ultimate), and then downgrade
  I don't know how many people is aware of this, but if you buy a Windows Vista Business or Ultimate then you can use a Windows XP CD (that you have legal access to) to load Windows XP on this machine.

  When you need the product key / or need to activate, it will potentially fail, but a simple call to with your Vista product key activation center should give you all the details you need. Then, when you're ready to put Vista on this machine, you can do without the purchase of this new cost. Alternatively, you can buy Windows XP today and if you want to load Vista, you can give more money to a store for a copy again.

  Hello

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion dv6 1199EE laptop and it has a version of Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 system Type 32 bit installed.

  Now, I want this transition to Windows Vista Business full Edition without formatting & reinstall OS because I don't want to lose the features & programs came with the lap top. I would buy the Windows Vista Professional with the product key on the local market in my country.

  First of all, I want your advice what is the best Vista professional should I buy?

  Second, what are the professional measures to update without formatting the hard drive of my laptop?

  Concerning

  Mr. Sayadi

  You cannot upgrade Vista Home Premium to Vista Business.

  It is not a Vista upgrade path.

  You have clean installation, back up ALL your data and reinstall all the programs.

  Upgrade paths:

  -of Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate.
  -from Vista Home Premium to Ultimate.
  -from Vista Business to Ultimate

  And there's no. Vista Business Ultimate version.

  You will need to purchase a full version of Vista Business and do a clean install.

  OR buy a Vista Ultimate upgrade version and do a upgrade.

  If you do an upgrade to Vista Ultimate, it SHOULD be with a 32-bit Ultimate Upgrade disk.

  There is only a single company of Vista, but you can buy the full version 32 bit or 64 bit OS and do a clean install...

  All depends on the amount of RAM for the need to use.
