  Use the program above to find the product key in your operating system Vista running and active.

  If a desktop computer: Watch next or back.
  If a laptop: look on the underside.

  If a recovery disk, most of the manufacturer's recovery disks do not need a product key to get back to factory settings.

  This is the limit of the help that we can give you a missing product key.

• Activation of Windows Vista phone number phone

  I am trying to activate Windows Vista on my brother's computer, but there is a problem when I send the Activation of Windows code. I get this error message,

  "The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. «You need to run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a product key of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium»

  The hard drive failed on this portable DVD and backup he had was corrupt. I had to use another disk to configure the computer to reinstall the operating system. This drive is now half a continent away. I tried for two days to get the order slui.exe 4 at work. But instead of giving me the phone activation option requires that I enter the product key. Which then brings back me to the message above. My question is how can I access the phone activation? How can I get the phone number so I can activate this operating system? We are just south of Dallas in Texas.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Thank you, Tim

• Missing Windows Vista key

  Hello

  I recently visited Tiger Direct to remove a virus from my dv6000 (bought new at HP in 2008). They advised that it was better to wipe my system and reload everything, so I let that happen. Now I like my version of Windows is not genuine and to enter my product key, but my Windows the license sticker on the bottom of my laptop is unreadable. I went back to Tiger Direct and they said that HP would be able to give me a Vista key if I gave them the serial number on my laptop. Is this true? I would really like to have my fully operational windows in return and am not currently able to upgrade to another operating system.

  Hello:

  You have to get a set of recovery disks which normally do not need to enter a product key.

  Information on how to order recovery disks is on the link below.

• Can't find my windows product key/number!

  Hi all

  Help, please! My computer laptop satellite asks that I enter the Windows key number... He says it should be on a label somewhere on the laptop, but I can't locate! ... any ideas on how else to get the number of key/car I can't the computer at all!

  Thank you all

  Woody.

  I'll try to give my comment: If you use recovery media supplied and install the OS (Windows XP Home) on this way you don't need product key. If you are using original Microsoft installations CD given by the laptop product key help at all because this key number belongs to the recovery image.

• Windows Vista key for different edition is installed, how to fix?

  I have an Acer PC with his side a certificate for Windows Vista Business. However, Windows Vista Home Premium has been installed on it. It is now demanding activation, indicating that previously the typical product key is not valid and not accepting is not the Vista Business product key.

  Is it possible (non-fissuration) I can change the installed Windows Vista Business edition so it will accept the key, without having to do a reinstall complete? Keeping in mind I can't even log.

  Otherwise, a CD to install Windows Vista normal company accepts OEM Acer product key or I will have to try to find the disc from Acer?

  Colin - I think the connection problem because the system is RTM, rather than SP2 - the RTM will feature Mode of Redcued heavily neutered if not authentic, that allows only access via a browser.

  It should be possible to rearm the machine to make it functional again for purposes of data recovery...

  The openg screen, it will offer to open a browser - if your default browser is IE do the following (it won't work in Chrome or Firefox - later)

  Open a window of IE and in the address bar, type C:\Windows\System32 and press the Enter key - IE should open the folder.

  Look down the list of files until you find CMD.exe (or just CMD)

  Right-click on the file and select run as administrator

  In the command prompt window, type the following command

  CSCRIPT SLMGR. VBS /REARM

  and press the Enter key - after a few seconds, you should get a 'success' message, as well as a request to restart - are, and you should have another 30 days to resolve your problem.

  If your default browser is not IE, then start using safe and open IE, in Internet Options, change the default for IE browser, then restart in normal mode and proceed as above.

• Provided with serial number of Windows VISTA, but running Windows XP OS

  I received a Government edition 6930 P HP EliteBook notebook computer with the Windows XP operating system. The irony is that the laptop has Windows VISTA serial number attached to the back and obviously has a Vista window badging on. My inquiries to my superior was that Vista is unstable, so they have bought XP instead. My question is, if I decide to upgrade to windows Vista, where can I download the software? I don't have the VISTA installation CD. Thank you.

  Info below depends on how it was installed XP re Vista recovery options.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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 Vista.

  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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to make Vista 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

  Hi all. I recently bought a Dell studio 1737 in which windows vista family premium is already installed. A few days back, I was installing drivers that were installed successfully. When I activate my window, he asked for the product key which has been mentioned on the sticker under the battery of the laptop.at, first that I have not found the sticker so I don't have to enter the key bt after that I restarted my computer, he asked me to activate windows, few options were available.i opted to activate windows online.again it asks to enter product key.i entered , but it gives me the error message incorrect windows vista key.i restored my computer several times older points but in vain.i also adopted the method run services.msc and then this selection of software licenses and properties by clicking the start of stop.the type has already been set on automatic and I have so I still clicked on start.and when I rebooted my computer He asked again for the key.

  I only have one way to use the laptop.when I start in safe mode and restore to point more and when it restarts, this time, it does not ask for product key.and I can use laptop but automatic updates are installed and I have reboot again, it asks for the key.

  kindly help me solve this fed issue.im of this.i should be very very grateful.
