• I have the product key for windows vista home basic 32-bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

  I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

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

  They should do this for a small fee.

  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

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Cannot find the product key to reinstall Vista

  I want to reinstall Windows Vista to clean my Toshiba laptop, but when I bought it, it came with the Windows Vista disc. When I searched the help options, they said I have a sticker on my laptop that has the product key to this topic. I'm sure that I have this sticker, but it is worn out, so I can't read the key top. Is there another way for me to recover this product key, so I can reinstall Windows Vista?

  Hello

  Key Finder programs are useless to use on the OEM of the computer like Toshiba, Acer, etc.

  They will only find a product key that is used on several computers during the Manufactuering which is of no use to you when reinstalling the operating system.

  These programs are only useful to find retail operating system product keys, which then can be used.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Follow these steps to reinstall Vista:

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

  They should do this for a small fee.

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  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.

  With a Toshiba recovery process can be started by pressing 0 (zero) at startup. (Power on / start)

  This is Toshibs; has instructions on this subject.

  "How restore your laptop Toshiba to its state of charge software factory using system recovery"

  https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

  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.

• Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?

  I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?

  To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate.  If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case.  It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read).  If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download).  You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation.  It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.

  I hope this helps.  If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?

  Good luck!

• Trying to recover the product key for Windows Vista.

  I know there are a lot of positions similar to mine, but I hesitate to install a party program third to find my product key registry.  My windows sticker dissipated the bottom of my laptop.  I followed a user that says search system and check the product activation.  I did and he said that my key is not available.  I bought my laptop as part of floor box open to an electronics store and never had to register with microsoft because I bought a floor model that was used for the demo and display.  I bought the new recovery media and now is not a product key.
