When I bought my computer, it came with an upgrade to time everything. Can I use it and it cost anything?
Windows Anytime Upgrade disc
I am running Vista Business on my Gateway desktop computer. When buying a cd of Windows Anytime Upgrade was included. Can I use the cd to upgrade my desktop computer and would there be costs associated with its use?
Windows Anytime Upgrade will modernize 1 version of the operating system for the same version of operating system (Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate, for example).
It is there no cd or software. That's all just a product key to release the already existing code. IF you do not have a product key, you have nothing.

Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll
I have a Dell computer that came with Windows XP Home edition. When I start my computer the monitoring of ERROR appears: RUNDLL error loading specified not found \3\DLBUtime.dll module
I just click 'ok' and he goes, but, as for what it stop popping up everytime I start my computer.
Can someone help me with this?
Aprilm,
You are LuLu5119, who posted a question last August?
If this isn't the case, you should have started your own thread. If so (and even if not), you should have responded to questions about Dell printers.
Assuming that you complain of a "Error loading \3\DLBUtime.dll" message that appears when you start your computer, you should know that the DLBUtime.dll file probably has something to do with the software from Dell which has been partially deleted, but could also be indicative of malware as well as partially withdrawn.
In both cases, the best way for start you to prevent the message at windows is to download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Install the Autoruns and let it complete the scan of your computer. Then click on the "Connection" tab and uncheck the following entry:
Look for an entry that has 'DLBUCATS' in the first column. If you do not see that, look for "rundll32 \3\dlbutime.dll" in the last column ("path of the Image).
Uncheck that entry, close Autoruns and restart your computer. You should get is no longer the message.
If for any reason, you find later that you need dlbutime.dll running, run Autoruns and check the box. If you decide that you need never again, run Autoruns, right-click on the entry and select Delete.
As General precautionary measure, in case your entry dlbutime.dll was related to malicious software, rather than the Dell printing software, download the following free scanners:
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware Portable: http://superantispyware.com/portablescanner.htmlFor MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, download, install, update and run.
For Portable SAS, follow the instructions on the Web page (note that the instructions assume that you use a different computer to download; if you're not, just make a note of the name of the file). -

When I bought my computer with vista as my windows operating program. I want to get a vista disk to repair or reinstall vista instead of the disk three gave me or just sent me my own vista disc
Microsoft sends NO Vista DVD.
You already have the manufacturer's recovery disks.
Recovery disc reinstall Vista and your computer about how you bought.You will need to contact your computer manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition on your hard drive.
This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.
Recovery discs are made from the recovery Partition, OR provided by the manufacturer, as in your case!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is some general info recovery options.
How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?
I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.
Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer
I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.
(1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?
(2) what happens if I would have said yes?
(3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.
All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.
