• How identify which windows Vista worm was installed with the product key

  I have a laptop that someone put windows XP on it. It came factory thew with Windows Vista and has the product key on the bottom of the laptop. But I don't know which Ver of Vista the key code to go with. I want to get the right NVA and install it. Is there a way to know which version of windows Vista to go popular with the product key code.

  Thank you

  Mike

  You can't say the product key.  If you use an Installation of Vista genuine disc it will install its own version to know the product key when you are prompted to enter (all versions of the same size of the bit are included on the authentic disc).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Re-Activation Windows Vista problem

  Last night my PC, I've had for almost a year (running Windows Vista Service Pack 2) changed the schemee of 32-bit color and crashed.  I restarted, and when he arrived at the Vista logo animation before opening of session, he said that my copy of Windows was not authentic.  I manually turned off and tried again today.

  Of course, I'm on, but there is a message of 3 lines in the lower right corner of my screen that says "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine".  I wrote down the product key on the sticker on my PC and went into the system.  The current key was "89578-OEM-7352477-22174.  I clicked on "Change product key" and put in on the side of my PC, and it said that the activation was successful.  However, the product key is always '89578-OEM-7352477-22174' and the message is still on the bottom right of my screen.  I'd appreciate any help.

  Thanks in advance.

• How to reinstall windows vista on Lappy which is preinstalled?

  I have Thinkpad R400 preinstalled Windows Vista SP1.

  Due to software problem (suddenly froze after 2-3 min to boot) I did a factory reset. Contributing to the frozen problem but brings a lot of other problems.

  Problems-
  01 after reset, some programs don't go out. Clicking on it shows "invalid path".
  2. opening a file creates a separate window, although opening in the same window settings in 'on '. I found a solution on the internet IE "actxprxy.dll" activation through cmd. This is useful.
  3. turn the button to "auto update" and "Windows defender" does not work. I mean after clicking it shows it will turn on but stays the same.
  4. There is a problem with the installation of other software.
  5. after each start up brightness down by half. I have to manually increase.

  Now, I decided to reinstall vista, but I have no cd of restoration or cd of the OS.

  There is a product id to the Lappy back.

  I can use it at installation time?

  Help me, I want to start from the beginning with this vista.

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

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

  And look for updates of pilot in the support/downloads section for the manufacturer's Web site.

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

  You have the factory reset option, as you have used.

  There is nothing wrong with use because it contains hardware drivers you need (you may need to update, as shown above).

  But support for Vista, with the exception of Vista SP2, is over. and you need to install Service Packs to make sure programs, etc.

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

  Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

  Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

  If you really want to reinstall again:

  You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), 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.

  The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

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

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

• Which version of Windows Vista do I have? I can't read the sticker because it is worn out and the hard drive is dead.

  What version of vista OS x 14-39682

  I can read 25 characters of Vista on the coa sticker numbers, but the name of the version of windows has dissipated. The hard drive is unreadable and dead. I have another hard drive and the number, but I don't know which version of Windows Installer. The number, I can read is 00148-128-072-097 and the other is x 14-39682.

  The 14-39682 X is the part number of your copy of Windows Vista and it is Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 OEM.
