• Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?

  Original title: ACER GRRRRR!  Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?

  I need to reformat my laptop Acer Aspire 5520, but Acer WON'T provide me with the disks required to do... so my question is this; How can I reformat without having to buy a new drive for Windows Vista?  I went to the site of the Acers and downloaded all the drivers, applications, and the bios, but I can't find anywhere on Windows.  Can anyone help?
  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hello

  It s no vista for free and legally download

  with an acer you never drives with him press Alt + F10 when you see the Acer start at startup screen

  who should begin the process of recovery back to factory settings

  Acer has do provide you with a way to reinstall vista, either way or a recovery (Alt + F10) on your disk partition hard or using recovery discs

  and read this:

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

• Windows 7 upgrade from Vista Home Premium fails continuously at the end

  I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

  When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

  Help, please!

• Windows Vista Home Premium update froze during the 'configuration' June 30, 2009.

  Received notification of five updates to install on my computer Windows Vista Home Premium, one of them being Internet Explorer 8.   All the downloaded slowly.   Each of them appeared to install, but slowly and I left the computer while he was installing the 3rd update.   When I came back it had evolved in the 'Configuration' screen (always see after there are updates and it restarts) and sat there for hours.   It reads "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3, 0% complete.  The percentage of nevers turns off 0%.   I finally turned off the computer and when she started he said windows had not closed properly so I chose the Safe Mode option.   He immediately went the same configuration screen.  I left it again for 4 hours, but no change.   What should I do?

  The laptop is a HP tablet PC.

  Here's how to uninstall the ones you don't want.

  And how to change the settings of update and IE8 HIDE update!

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the bad.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

• 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.

• Vista Home Premium Screensaver Aurora and the energy of Windows

  Since 3 weeks I have had really bad luck with 2 of your screensavers and my 4 graphics cards. I'm not sure what kind of screensavers guys do but 2 named Aurora and Windows energy should never have been released to the public without testing, including the impact on your GPU and overheating.

  In the last 3 weeks I was troubleshooting problem vista Home Premium 32 - bit Windows and freezing issues. Card provided with the computer was GeForce 6150 TO work for about 2 months and then computer began to do bad things, freeze, stop, don't work sometimes and some other questions. I thought it was bad GPU so I replaced it with my HIS ATI Radeon X 1950 Pro, this card gave me warnings 12 hours after it has been installed that card is running a little hot and the ATI software will lower FREQ map. This card lasted about 2 days and he died too, but this time model would be just weird points and not whole screen is unreadable. I installed the program called the fan speed to monitor and record what is happening with this card. Computer has been used for business only IE and a few other small programs where ran, no games or anything. Since my last card was fried I replaced it with my GeForce 7900 GT OC, this card gave me the nice amount of needed data, but at the same time, this card lasted only 3 days.

  I thought as the fans run at full speed and becomes pleasant cooling perhaps is the PCI-E slot which is a short or something, wrong.
  Today I went to the store to buy PCI card, got nice $65 GeForce 6200 and plugged in, the fan speed is ready to record everything, Idle temperatures where 41 C for 47 of the CPU and GPU. I was doing some defragment and antivirus, trying to run the CPU at 100% and record what is happening that I was also running Media player and other programs with Visual effects to see if I can push this cards Temp. above its limits, after 2 hours of messing around with this, I gave up and is gone to smoke a cigarette, returned screensaver has been running (Aurora btw) off and checked the temp. Newspaper.

  Fan speed showed warning and GPU temp to 85 C. Then I then and tried the same thing on the screen saver Windows energy and got the same results, just go inside the screensaver and clicking on Aurora screensaver will bring your cards temp at least 5 c in a second.

  Since I do not use Vista (and will never) on my home computer, I was wondering if someone with the GTX 200 series can try and test this point and see how many temp. changes on his rig during this operation. I my rig with windows XP pro and don't know if I can get Aurora or energy of Windows XP to test it on my GTX 260 sli.

  Thank you

  I would check the power supply. A screen saver will NOT cause to burn three cards. MCDST

• I have Windows Vista Home Premium and according to the sites (Microsoft), it is a FREE upgrade to Windows 7, is this correct and where do I go to find the Site to download free upgrade?

  Upgrade Vista to Windows 7

  There is no free upgrade available currently. There was a promotion, but it ended two years ago.

  I heard that if you buy Vista you get a copy of Windows 7 free
  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010.

• Installed Windows Vista Home premium sp2 by using the recovery disk, need to activate product key

  Hi-

  I recently partion on my computer hp laptop and installed windows vista family premium with the recovery disk I got with the laptop I have this laptop for about 4 years, I have the product ID-89578-oem-7332157-00204. If possible can I get the product key to my email * address email is removed from the privacy * because that's what I was told by hp when I asked them why they said that my warranty is over, but my windows cd must be functional and ask microsoft. If you could really help me, I really need because I am a user of autocad as a computer architect, it's the only thing that I have money on working hard.

  Hello

  the HP recovery discs do not normally require an input key product on your part

  It's a good idea to always write it down in a safe place and away from the computer

  Unfortunately, these stickers wear away very easily

  and good luck with it

• Hibernation is missing from the options of junction box in Vista Home Premium. I tried the option 'Fix' of Microsoft, and also the manual fix (powercfg.exe/hibernate on) mode command, but none solved the problem.

• Vista Home Premium, is stuck on the message "Please do not power off or unplug your Machine." Installation of update 1 of 1... ». Now what?

  Recently, I applied the latest service pack for the 32-bit version of Vista and have had frequent accidents of Internet Explorer. Today, he seems to have done an automatic update (that he did, and did often in the 3 years I've owned the computer). But he is frozen on the screen that says do not do "power off or unplug... installation update 1 of 1. It's a little scary, and I don't know what to do.

  I ran windows defender scan yesterday and the system was clean. Basic security hang after about 2/3 of green square were lit.

  Of course, I write from another machine.
