Why Windows Vista always creates problems? Why users should bear the burden of paying for repairs, relocation and wasting their time to fix a software problem? Why?

Vista sucks

You want more than one recovery disc - you want a real Windows Vista (or whatever the OS) installation disc (this is the type of disc I insist on whenever I have buy a new computer).  Sorry, you had so much trouble and had to do a clean install to fix the problem when having the record straight would have allowed a repair/upgrade level which would have preserved your data, settings, and programs.

In any case, I am happy that the problem is resolved (even if it was not a pleasant task).

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • I recently our old Windows Vista out of storage, I'm helping with the implementation?

    In fact, I have a series of questions keeping to that, but at the moment my highest priority is to find how to get it all together to the top.

    We had it for 9 years, and during that time my mother was barely used and the only time I ever to remember being able to use would be in 2008 and 2012, but in those moments I was pretty young and I caused internet several related problems. After 2012, you don't really mess with it then, but now that I'm starting to regret buying a mac I recently just to set up our vista.

    I got everything plugged. There is this blue connector Jack (which I assume is the monitor cord) and I connected on the screen where it belongs. There is another string (which I assume is the power cord) and it is plugged, so far, there are only two outlets in the monitor. The computer itself has a cord of black power, the mouse + keyboard cable and the cable from the monitor. Everything is plugged in and well, but after turning the computer and then proceed to turn on the monitor, I get a message that says 'No detected Signal' with three blocks under it, red, blue and green. Am I missing a cord?

    One of the main reasons why I'm doing a switch from my mac to my old windows is due to PaintTool SAI, is available for Vista? And wacom is compatible with vista? It seems to be that some plug-ins to the back of the computer so that it could work. Also, would I be able to upgrade our computer to Windows 7 after setting up?

    If it's a desktop pc, & 9 years old, then you must replace the battery in MB, it controls CMOS (plug & play).

    Simply turn pc off, remove the battery, wait 10 min.replace with the new. Once the pc boot, enter the BIOS, reset

    DateTime, the value for the add-on equipment, set the boot priority, save and exit. Also, read the owner's manual, + all ports

    must have an icon engraved, showing what sound for... A year 9 old pc wouldn't be good, or compatible

  • I removed Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Vista 64-bit installed, but when I enter the key it says the key is already in use. How can I fix it?

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit edition

    I bought Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 in a box in 2008, I installed the 32 edition because at the time I was told not all software will work with the edition 64 a month ago, I decided to windows 7 Ultimate Via Amazon purchase which proved be a copy of the counterfeit money and Amazon me has now repaid , so what I do, well I could buy another copy of windows 7 Ultimate or I could give the other Version of windows that came in the same box with a product key a go, so I removed and formatted the hard drive and reinstalled 64 bit version on my drive using the product key original that I used on the 32-bit Edition for four years and when I try to register the 64 bits edition, that is to say someone else using this product key, you will have to buy another key or a copy of windows 7. Well, I decided to wait until Windows 8 will be released, that's why I decided to try the Vista 64 - bit Edition?

    Or better yet, I might switch to a Mac OS x system?

    The answer is not to buy Windows 7 from a dealer on the market of Amazon.  Stick to Amazon itself.  Amazon Marketplace is as eBay and other auction sites and online delivery.  It is composed of persons whose practices sales are questionable.  You won't get counterfeit product from Amazon itself.

    You have to solve the problem with Vista 64-bit using phone activation.

    Activate by phone.  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736912 (WS.10) .aspx

    Or click Start and type ' slui.exe 4.

    Do not answer all prompts automatic until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent.

    If you continue to have problems with activation, run the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool

    Once downloaded, run the tool. Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button. Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

    Hello

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

    Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.

    Microsoft sells more than 7; Try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
