• Difference between Vista OEM and retail

  Hello

  I want to buy windows vista Home premium for my pc at home. But I'm quite confused, because there are different versions of windows vista. is someone can you please tell me what is the difference between vista home premium OEMAct and SP2.

  can I use the original product key to windows vista Home premium OEMAct, which is printed below my laptop, for a new installation of windows vista Home premium sp2. Please I need answer ASAP. Thank you very much

  You can use the product key on the bottom of your laptop computer to reinstall Vista on this laptop only.

  The content of the operating systems are the same, whether OEM or retail license.

  Read this about the license:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  SP stands for Service Pack, which is to improve the Performance and safety of all support Vista.

  There was 2 Packs of published Service, up to this date, for Vista.

• Built a new computer, kept the hard drive from my old computer but had Vista OEM

  I have set up a new computer, but kept my hard drive to save money, I did not know that that I was not allowed to do, and now I'm stuck without a computer! Rather than buying a new copy of windows is it possible to get my renewed series and re - install off a friends Vista CD? I'm in the United Kingdom if it makes a difference to contact departments/services on this subject.

  If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM disk/license, it is non-transferable.

  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

• I bought an acer laptop travelmate 4500its running on packard bell windows vista but the key to produce on ifor machine windows xp pro, what do I do as the activation key is to say its not authentic

  Windows vista laptop, but the activation code on the bottom is for windows xp pro, what I can do

  You have an Acer laptop, Packard Bell Windows Vista computer running?

  Packard Bell OEM Windows can only be used on machines from Packard Bell.

  If the label says XP, then the machine was initially delivered with XP,

  and the one who sold you the machine will rip you off with an illegal copy of Vista.

  If you can, get your money back.

  If not, you will have either to reinstall XP, or get a legitimate copy of something more recent.

• I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now.

  I reinstalled Vista on my old compaq with a cd of vista OEM, my friend gave me and I can't get Vista to activate now. I understand that the original CD would have been pre-activated and this one isn't. I don't have the original disks and the computer did not have a recovery partition. I used an original cd of OEM Vista Home Premium x 64 make the re - install. When I try to activate windows, there is no option to not activate by phone and when I try to change the key he said is not a valid Vista key, if it is the original on the case. I tried to use slui.exe 4 to get the activation of the phone, but I had the screen normal activation that I'm used to without phone option.

  What should I do here? I don't want to pay for the new disks or reinstall again if I have to...
  original title: not activate Windows Vista OEM

  After talking with Microsoft, I am very pleased and impressed by their service.

  What the tech says the key to the case only lights up if the installation came from the disc from the factory, I did not and is no longer available from the manufacturer. They I generated a new key which also did not work because it does not correspond with the oem Setup, I used.
  Now they're sending me a new copy of Vista Home Premium retail toll-free sales. I'll have to reinstall clean, but I'm fine with that in the circumstances.

• Just upgraded to Vista Home Premium to XP. Got a Packard Bell with RF for the Media Center remote control, worked fine with XP, but is no longer compatible with Vista.

  after update to XP media center units Vista remote control

  Just upgraded to Vista Home Premium to XP.  Got a Packard Bell with RF for the Media Center remote control, worked fine with XP, but is no longer compatible with Vista.  I checked the usb driver for the usb XF-10 rf remote receiver and it is fine, uninstalled and reinstalled it.  Handset was working fine a few days ago.  I also went in 'Administrator', 'services' and then active HID, but it still does not work.  Media works well, but it would be nice to have the operation of the remote control!  Not particularly computer, simply suggestions please!  Thank you, Nick.

  Hi Nicolas,

  I suggest you to check the battery. Additionally, make sure that you have installed the right drivers for you Consumer IR Port.

• Packard Bell Easynote laptop computer CD Rom problem in Vista

  I have a Packard Bell Easynote laptop computer and the CD rom does not recognize my DVD - RW drive, it recognizes and plays all other formats, any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Russ

  Hello

  Close all programs and then put in a DVD - RW blank = what happens?

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and may your reading/reading on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  Several good info here:

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Satellite P25: How to reinstall the original software without original car work?

  I have a P25 who lost his screen and dvd.
  The screen is black with a low light (control problem charts I am told by Toshiba repair - requiring parent = USD1000 map change).

  The DVD (Mat * u UJ - 809?) produces noise, but is not recognized by Windows.

  So I now use it as a desktop with external display, keyboard, and DVD player.

  As with all windows installation got clogged so now, things I had to reinstall the Windows MC supplied with the machine. However, the recovery DVDs running from an external DVD drive does not work.

  Because it boots I get a message BACK that is not DVD and an A > prompt.
  I can install a new version of XP, but then I miss the features of MC and need to install all of the P25 drivers manually.

  I would be very grateful if someone could help.

  (If someone would have a great idea on the screen as well, please let me know)

  Thank you
  Tom

  Hello
  I can not say what tests your repair service ran, but the problem of the screen could probably be an Inverter problem. As for the problem of dvd. I heard that need laptops Toshiba Toshiba external CD/DVD to boot or otherwise it won't work. I have never tried so I can't attest to that, but it could very well be probably that. Assuming that your CD/DVD is listed in the hardware with a yellow exclamation point Manager to do this, start-> run-> regedit then proceed as follows.

  go to hkey_local_machine, then system, CurrentControlSet, Control, then class.
  {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} this is your cd/DVD. Once there in the list on the right check a component called filter haunted, click it, click on remove and then delete. Then do the same for the UpperFilter. Remove both filters and then right-click on my computer on your desktop. Go to properties-> hardware-> Device Manager. Right click on your cd/DVD and click on disenstall. Go to the top, then click on search of new material. It should find your cd/DVD and reinstall the driver, without any conflict. I hope this helps.

• Activation of Windows XP on Packard Bell after clean install

  I do a clean Windows XP Home edition installation, so that a computer can be sold on.  I installed windws disc OEM (Packard Bell), but when I try to activate windows activation fails despite the use of the serial key on the OEM sticker that is on the side of the PC.  I checked the counterfeit site and everything seems to be OK and especially the Council.  How can I solve this?  Usually, the PC was working fine before the re install and the only change was a 1 GB 512 MB memory upgrade, any help would be appreciated.

  The operating system installed is not Pro - home. (ignore my previous post, if you got a notification)

  You need to reinstall with XP Home media.
