Vista reinstall Activation period has expired
I have a Gateway with Vista laptop (factory installed). Once a virus corrupt my OS Vista, a generic copy of Vista has been used for clean installation to see if data files could be saved. The key provided with the original operating system wouldn't work, nor the generic disk key. Activation period has now expired and when booting I get only three options. Reduced functionality, enter the new key or contact Ms. I have no start bar. Is that what I can do to solve this problem. I've had no luck trying to get someone on the phone to talk to. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Hello AScottMcC
If the data is important, you might be better off holding the camera to a repair facility to recover the data. The easiest way would be likely to take the laptop hard drive, connect it to another PC and copy the data on the 'other' PC hard drive.
This done, you could do a clean install of Vista and then copy the files from the 'other' PC back to your laptop. You will need to take ownership of the files to open.
Another valuable option, depedning how files are (you can lose them anyway) is to do an inplace upgrade... See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/repair_a_vista_installation_using_the_upgrade_option_of_the_vista_dvd.htm
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

You use a license key of volume on a Dell computer. Your key is not legitimate, unless you specifically bought a Volume key. Volume keys need to communicate with the server 'touch' every 180 days, and if they do not, they will fall into reduced functionality mode.
If you are not in a corporate environment, you will need to buy a new key or enter key to ORIGIN of the COA sticker.

Reinstalling windows - activation key has expired?
We bought a desktop dell computer about 1 1/2 to 2 years with pre-installed windows 7 Home premium. He broke, but some parts were always good. We bought a new Acer with preinstalled Windows 8 office which I didn't like. Also, the hard drive of the Dell printer was bigger. The intention was to simply pass on the disks, so Acer would have a bigger disk and Windows 7. It wouldn't boot correctly, so we reinstalled Windows 7 by using a disk image, downloaded from Microsoft and product key that was stuck on the Dell. Finally, we sold the Dell a guy on Craigslist. We had signed up everything except the motherboard, processor and power supply. As we took off the Windows 7 product key sticker. Acer has worked well and never mentioned anything on Windows is not genuine not. He remained off the coast for a few weeks. I turned today and it installs the updates on start up. The login screen normally shows and I connect. The desktop appears in black with 3 lines of text in the corner:
Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine
There is a window in the middle of the screen that says
Activate Windows now
The activation period has expired
It gives two options:
Activate now
Ask me later
At this stage there is no start bar or the desktop icons as if windows Explorer has not yet begun.
About 2 to 3 minutes later the paper in his arrives and the start bar and the desktop icons appear. The window "Activate Windows now" disappears also.
Another window appears which says:
Update optional delivery does not work
You may be victim of software counterfeiting.
I tried not to get my key or whatever it is in fear that it could be a virus.
What is going on? There may be remnants of the key somewhere on the case of dell outside the sticker? What should I do?

Hi bumbed.
You have active wireless network?
There are many suggestions that fixed the issue of which two are listed below:
O change router security
Ø change setting antivirus/firewall
Method 1: Change the router security setting.
Router change of WPA - PSK (WiFi Protected Access, pre-shared Key) at Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). This seems to have contributed to this point.
For more information about these security features, read:What are the different wireless network security methods?
For more information on how to change the setting, see your router's manual or contact the manufacturer of the router.
Method 2: Disable your firewall/antivirus
Disable security software such as antivirus/firewalls see if it interferes with the transfer for test purposes.
For more information about this issue, see:error 0 x 80070079: the semaphore timeout period has expired
Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.

an error code appears. I can not download a new version because my vista comes with window cannot open security Defender.I either. The time-out period has expired. What does that mean?
Hello
read this information on the Defender:
· If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default
the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender
and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware
It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do
If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable
and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista

and read this information to microsoft:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849
