Windows Vista activation - useless online FAQ

• Windows Vista active again and again

  * original title - Windows Vista active more and more and more and (you get the idea) *.

  for 3-4 months, at least once or twice a week (currently twice now with 3 days now) VIsta started in a black screen, stating that "this copy of Windows is not genuine" with a dialog box indicating the Activation succeeded.

  Why Vista has suddenly decided to activate so often? OS is fully legitimate, fully serviced, all the installed updates blah blah.

  As such, I have no problem with the activation screen popping up, my main concern is if the activation of MS servers decide my product key was activated too many times and decided to tell me to go away (to say politely!), which would be pretty annoying because nothing on my hardware spec has changed over the last 4 months , and the only significant change was a year ago when I upgraded my HD because of an impending failure alert (SMART State). RAM, processor and motherboard were the same items from the first installation.

  Should he help diagnose etc. machine spec is:

  "Northwood" Pentium 4 3 GHz FSB 533 Mhz processor

  ASUS P4P800 Deluxe

  2GB DDR1 Geil

  NVidia 7600GS AGP 512 MB iirc GPU

  1x500GB (OS) & 1x1TB (data) in a box Seagate HD with a 330 GB Seagate external LaCie firewire.

  Thanks in advance

  Not quite the answer to what I'm asking, system started, decided to reactivate and confirms thus reactivated, I want to know is why he had to reactivate again and again and again...

  This can be caused by a number of things - usually an anti-virus scan of the system at the same time that the licensing service is trying to verify the activation status.
  Nothing to fear (usually) - but if it persists, or the notification remains standing, you should run a report of MGADiag (when the notification is displayed) and post it here.

• Windows Vista Activation error

  Whenever I try to activate windows vista Ultimate edition by online, I get this random error: "error code 0 x 80070565. He said: 'the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded. Then when I try to activate windows using the telephone all id (1-9) installation spaces are empty with no numbers in them. That's the number needed to activate windows by phone. I do not have these numbers, spaces are empty and have nothing in them. If I try to run slmgr.vbs in the cmd window and try to activate it in this way, we get the same error I mentioned above. I can't activate my copy of windows vista ultimate because of these things. I think it might be a malware or a virus in my computer. Help, please!

  Hey, I think I'm cured! I tried a product called "Dr.Web" and I have no more problems for activation!

  Hi Verisetti,

  Have you installed security software after formatting windows?

  If so, you can uninstall the security software temporarily and check if you receive the access violation error.

  If the uninstallation of security software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the software of safety accordingly. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

  Note: Make sure that you install the security software after the trial.

  What about Windows vista product ID, you can try to validate Windows and check if it helps.

  Genuine Windows: Frequently asked questions

• Windows Vista activation key is invalid.

  We've had this laptop for about 3 years now.  We recently had to take in our repair guy and he re-installed Windows Vista for us.  The laptop worked great since then (several weeks) until the end of last week.

  We started getting a pop up notice to activate Windows.  I was hesitant to click on it until I could talk with our guys from the computer.  In the meantime our wallpaper would disappear anytime we stop or restart the machine.  Then this morning when I started the computer upwards the lower right got the message: "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  I called our repair guy and he said that happens sometimes with a re - install.  He said to go and activate Windows.  When I do, before I even get to a place to enter the activation key, the box that opens shows "Windows Vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation".

  It follows with the options: "Buy a new product key online", "Type a different product key" or "Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem."  I chose the second option, using the product key on the bottom of our machine and got the message "the product key you entered is not a valid Windows Vista product key.  Please check your product key, and then type it again. "I checked the key and spruced up and got the same message.

  Can someone help me please understand what is the problem and how to fix it?  Or at least provide a way to talk to a living person as the "Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem" option in my head of activation window me to a page that had me trying to activate, which opened in the same window that I had already opened.

  So, after all the time that I spent to fight with this problem and check and recheck the product key, it seems I should actually check the prescription of glasses - I was confused with a 'B' for '8 '.  Once I typed the key * correctly * everything was fine.  I even restarted my computer twice to be sure that all "stuck".  Sheesh, I feel stupid.

  Thanks for your help. :-)

• Windows Vista activation problem, error: product key is already in use on another computer.

  Original title: activation problems.

  After installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my laptop, he asks now the product key to activate windows.  He won't accept him, indicating that the product key is already used on another computer.  It is not the case! What can I do?

  Hello les1helen,

  If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• MSCONFIG, Windows Vista and Sony Online Entertainment.

  I am a player of the online game Everquest 2. Recently, after an addition by SOE for the game, I started getting the following errors:

  "Application has failed memory while requesting _ bytes," followed by bytes available and bytes free, who then would freeze the game software and requires a reboot.

  I started my research on the plateau SOE and it turns out it's a long-standing problem (2007) which affects different people at different times. After you send a DXDiag and MSInfo to a TSR SOE, I got this.

  "To make sure that you are not all programs running on your taskbar windows task that could use your memory, you should try running your system under a clean boot, because this would prevent you all hidden loading programs."

  To turn off background programs:

  1. Select the button START.
  2. Select RUN, then type "msconfig" (for Vista, type msconfig in the search at the bottom of the Start Menu bar)
  3. press OK
  4. Select the STARTUP tab.
  5. click the DISABLE ALL button.
  6 valve apply and then OK. Restart the computer and repeat the game. »

  Now I'm here and I have read that it is not always a good idea and can lead to bigger problems.

  My questions are:

  Is this a good idea?
  IF I close everything works in the background I am close my anti-virus full Suite. Of course he uses the memory in the background, so do I stopped him because TSR David told me?
  Finally, when we look through the list of MSCONFIG, there are elements of MANY Microsoft Corporation listed on the services tab. I guess the question is what IS supposed to be at all services and the tabs of start-up and advice on how to analyze and distinguish the good from the bad, please.

  Suggestions please, if any.

• Windows Vista activation key issues

  I have a Toshiba laptop, has problems with the firewall and had to take it to get fixed and when I got back with him all my stuff on Microsoft Word is "locked." I can't access any of my stuff out there, it's wanting to enter me an activation code to activate it. My laptop came with Windows Vista already installed and when I received the product key on the back of my computer to activate it again once it says it is incorrect.

  Is there anything else I should do? The only disc that came with the computer is one that installs everything here from scratch, I need to use?

  Thank you

  If you mean that you can not turn on, try to do it manually:

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

• Problem Windows Vista activation key

  Thus, Windows Vista requires a product key, but because I couldn't find one, I had a windows 7 one.

  I type in the product key windows 7 and it's not accept it. What can I do? Is it possible for me to just use the windows 7 one?

  This link takes me to a full retail for WIndows 7 package, which means you should have disks of Windows 7 right at your fingertips.

  You can do an upgrade installation with a full license of Windows - or a clean installation - no problem.

  If you want to do an installation clean (which I recommend), simply to boot from the DVD and the installation and use the custom option.

  If you prefer to do an upgrade, and then start Windows and start the installer from there, choose the upgrade option.

• Dell Dock in Windows Vista activation procedure.

  Original title: the Windows Vista toolbar at the top

  I have windows vista and it usually as a toolbar to the Summit which were things like internet, trash, webcam, Microsoft word, Microsoft etc. presentations. It isn't their more and I don't know how to get it back. Help?

  You have a Dell and talk of Dell Dock ? If Yes, go to your Start Menu, all programs. Find the folder "Dell". Open it and click on your Dell Dock. To make sure that you put it on, right-click on an empty space on your Dell Dock. Go into the advanced settings. Check "Run at startup". If this does not help, you may need to reinstall the dock.

  Thank you

  That is to say that it is in the EU, because it was used by your own computer.  The activation program may not always make the difference. If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.
