Vista... It has been activated?

Before windows 7 came out, there was an offer of full OEM Vista + windows upgrade 7.  I upgraded to 7 directly from XP and installed vista a few hours one afternoon.  I don't think I've enabled, but is it possible to check whether it has been activated or not?

You need to install an operating system if the license has been activated.

Here are the terms of the offer to upgrade to Windows 7.
This offer was made to those who bought and had Vista installed.

"

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 the editions of Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. Update your 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. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

  • How will I know if a product key for xp has been activated yet

    Hi I recently bought a copy of windows xp pro and what he was going to install on my laptop that I'm on vista, it is an authentic copy from what I understand, but before starting the installation, I need to know if the product key has been activated yet, is it possible to tell? Thank you all

    Simply call Microsoft on the toll free number: 1800-936-5700.

    Give them the product key, and they will tell you if it has been used for activation aldready and if it has been blocked.

    Also give them the part number of the Windows XP disk and they will tell you if what drive it is. (OEM, retail). and they can also tell you if the product key will match and work with the disk.

    Do that before you start the installation, train them if the disk and product key do not match, you will be stuck.

  • On NEW laptop keyboard does not work after that the screen keyboard has been activated and then deactivated.

    Look at my friend got a new laptop and went through the whole upward. the on-screen keyboard has been activated which invalidates the real keyboard when the on-screen keyboard has been disabled the real keyboard has NO return. If this is a bug... Fix it. This is not a driver issue, it is not a user error. Stop giving people answers, trying to pretend like it's not not the OS when most people already know that it is.

    I'm sorry, but I didn't not new meant only one day.  And when I got my new laptop, one of the first things I did was to create a point of files, even a day later I had a restore to use - point and that was possible here as well.  I'm sorry it wasn't the case.

    If the system restore option is not available, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, you can try to go into the BIOS during the startup (the key appropriate to push appear on the screen to enter the boot menu or boot installation - try them both in turn if both appear. It is possible that the BIOS contains an option to disable the keyboard (which may have been activated by the keyboard on the screen but not changed when disable you the on-screen keyboard) and you may need to re-enable manually.  There is a slight possibility, but it is an option to try.

    Another option to try is to set up a new user account that has never used the keyboard on the screen and see if the regular keyboard works when you connect to this account.  If so, you can simply treat the original as a corrupt account account and use the following procedures to complete the transfer.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

    I hope that one of these aid procedures.  I'm sorry if they seem to 'generic', but we do not really know what is the problem - especially since the system is new.  We try and identify the cause and fix the problem at the same time using the procedures available to us.  I suspect there's a registry tweak will correct this problem, but I went through the whole registry, and although I found several referencers keyboard, I could find no which seemed to control or not activate the main laptop keyboard (though it has been in one of the entries that has been encoded in binary that I couldn't read).  It's possible someone who knows more about the registry will respond to this issue with a proposal to amend (or perhaps another solution).

    I hope that one of the solutions I proposed works.  Please post back in all cases we will know whether or not to continue searching for an answer.

    Good luck!

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

    If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...

    Hello

    You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

    ______________________________________________________________

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

    _____________________________________________________________

    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.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    ____________________________________________________________

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  • After that my PC froze, then restarting one second BIOS has been activated, now I get the Message: this copy of Windows is not genuine.

    Hello

    My PC froze because of the power failure. A to stop by pressing the power button for 8 seconds.

    After I turn on the PC, I got a message that the BIOS has been altered.   Since I have a motherboard Gigabyte with dual BIOS, he turned off the second BIOS.

    After the PC is returned to the Windows desktop, the background changed to black with the text in the right corner:

    "Windows 7"

    'Build 7601'

    "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

    I know this is true because I buy a commercial version of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of Microsoft. I guess that Windows detects the second BIOS as a different system.

    I restarted the computer, then Windows activated by itself. Under the Control Panel, he showed that he was authentic.

    For two weeks and the "activate Windows now" are back. "Requires a change in hardware or driver will allow you to activate Windows again." "Click on the message to start activation."

    The context has changed to black with the text in the right corner:

    "Windows 7"

    'Build 7601'

    "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

    I try to type the key to packing, that it does not work.

  • How to make reference to what has been activated in a TileList using an ItemRenderer

    Hello

    I have a Tilelist component and I use an ItemRenderer, which is a button.

    I do not understand how to refer to what the user has clicked. So, if the first tile (which is the first Explorer) is checked, how can I know that that an individual has been clicked.

    < mx:TileList

        id ="myTL"

    dataProvider="{myAC}"

    Width="400"

    Height="400"

    Thank you.
    -Laxmidi

    Hi Laxmidi,

    Using the itemClick event you can do this by using the event object. See the code example below:

    <>

    xmlns:MX ="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" > ".

    Import mx.events.ListEvent;

    Import mx.controls.List;

    Import mx.controls.Alert;

    Import mx.events.ItemClickEvent;

    private function onItemClick(event:ListEvent):void

    {

    var strAlert:String = "line of the Index Clicked element:" + event.rowIndex + "\n"; "."

    strAlert +=

    ' Column Index Clicked element: " + event.columnIndex + "\n";". "

    Alert.Show (strAlert);

    }

    ]]>

    Click = "http://www.adobe.com/2006/MXML Alert.show" ( 'It was clicked') ">"

    Import mx.controls.Alert;

    ]]>

    You can also try this by writing the Click event on the button in the TileList as itemRenderer where you can easily access the itemClicked data easily using the data object.

    Thank you

I have now, I can compare the current values with the values from the previous loop pass, but this isn't an option.

    I'm looking for some kind of property as active control node or something similar.

    It does not exist.  You can create your own time stamp control (like an XControl), or you can simply watch to see if the window is displayed. You can do the last using VI server functions or you can use the API of the operating system. For Windows, you can use the LabVIEW Windows utilities library.
