Vista - Windows 7 reinstall. Real warnings now appear.
My computer was initially installed Vista, I bought a copy of Windows 7 via download. I recently had to reinstall windows, but the copy of the download that I did a few years ago did not work so I used another disc of Windows 7 from Dell. Now, it is not authentic, how do I fix?
I don't know what my product key since I bought via download and do not have a CD cover to check.

Cannot get pse10 to take my styles, have had some PES 10 for 2011 pse13 bought and installed, uninstalled pse10 inorder to get pse13 to install easer, I reinstalled pse10 but now the stules I do not appear in the effect section. I checked the two sections where the styles light up on windows 7
I suggest that you need to reset your preferences file by using this method:
Start PSE10 until the Welcome screen. The home screen looks like this:
When you are in the Welcome screen, press first Ctrl + Alt + Shift + AND click 'change' to get a different dialog like this:
You must click Yes and you're done. This particular area is sometimes hidden, so you will need to drag the homescreen on the side with your mouse a #to make it visible.
I hope this helps.

I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista
Hello
How to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
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
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)
If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.
If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

I have Windows 7 reinstalled on my machine. Now when it boots up, it hangs on drive A, two minutes or more. The light A drive turns on but the screen is completely blank - nothing. The machine will start subsequently, but it takes forever. Is there a way to fix this?
A: drive is almost always a floppy drive, you have a floppy drive? I ask because most of Windows 7 computers is not these. I would check the Device Manager to see if a floppy drive is it shows. Since you say a drive light turns on, it's the floppy drive or maybe your CD/DVD or hard drive fire? It seems more likely that Windows is suspended to try to identify a USB device, so I would try to unplug all USB devices except the keyboard and mouse and see if the problem persists. I had this happen with some markets good USB hubs. You can always add additional USB ports "inside the box" If you have a desktop computer by getting an expansion card - they are not expensive. They usually cost between $15 and $25.
Good luck.
