Vista Windows anytime upgrade not working - I get what I paid for this key?

I bought an upgrade to vista ultimate anytime last week at an online retailer and I learned the reason why it is not working is because microsoft no longer allow updates under vista.  the seller will not accept a return because I opened the disc folder, then is it possible for me to share this key for a windows 7 key is there a scenario 'you are out of luck' and I have to eat what I paid for it and I still have to buy a package of upgrade of windows 7?

Well, it isn't true.  A true Anytime Upgrade DVD of Windows Vista and the appropriate product key can easily perform an upgrade.  What specific problem are you experiencing?

    Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

    That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

    Good luck!

  • Why file > Send link not working? Even do a right click on my mouse does not work. Is there any solution for this?

    Why can I no longer send links to Web sites? By clicking on file > Send link does not work or right clicking on the mouse. Both worked before Firefox 6. I can also send emails to sites that don't specify their address, but to say "send an e-mail, click here. Everything works well in Chrome and Safari, but not in Firefox.

    Could you check if your setting for mailto links has been deleted or become associated with an e-mail client that does not exist? Here's how:

    Firefox > Preferences > Applications

    In the search box at the top of the list, type or paste mailto and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    If change the dropdown to the right column does not improve things (sometimes go to another provider, which, to return and put back OKing won't work), you may need to reset your application preferences.
