Windows Vista after the replacement of the motherboard

I replaced a faulty motherboard on my windows vista machine, now it tells me my copy of windows is not genuine, how can I fix this?  Original was an AMD Phenom processor, replace it with a processor Intel i3 and Council.  Once the physical exchange of has been done, he pulled upward and ran with no problems until now, about 3 weeks after the change of material.

If the copy of Vista came with your computer (in other words, it was a copy sold OEM preinstalled on your computer) you are virtually no chance that the OEM copies are linked to the motherboard and if he dies, the copy of Windows is no longer valid.  Otherwise, you must follow the instructions for activation by telephone and explain the exchange of material and you will be assisted with the reactivation of your copy of Windows.

  • Crash of Windows Vista after the SCREEN of HOME Toshiba

    Greetings,

    My father work laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L300D, running on Windows Vista, seems to have fallen, and it is promised (because he recently ordered a new laptop) that if I fix it it gives me.

    The problem is that as soon as the laptop turns on, after the start of toshiba, but before the vista screen start loading screen, the system stops and everything is white '_' in the top left corner that flashes and disappears, leaving me with an empty black screen. I tried all below, in vain.

    • Press F8, no matter how long, when and how many times, seems to have no effect. After pressing it enough times, the laptop starts beeping for a second every time I press another key.
    • Removing the battery and pressing the power button for 60 seconds seem to have no use either.
    • The recovery disks do not work. After that they load, the screen empty boring, with the small '_' rises again.

    Please note that before any loading screen, it crashes. I tried going in the system (by pressing F2) Setup and see if there is a way of fixing it. I don't see a possible solution.

    Help, please!

    For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

    This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

  • Vista - after the installation of the updates I lose Aero

    Well, my usual remedy for that is to go to Start > Panel > administrative tools > Servicesand from there, restartDesktop Window Manager Session Manager and themesservices. My Windows Vista for the Aero theme returns. Is that what I want to know how to stop having to go through this process every time that I have run Windows Vista after the installation and configuration of updates? Is there a solution to my problem, and if so please could you me instructions on how to permanently solve the problem?

    Understand the Extras in Windows Vista and Windows Update info is at the link above.

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    Install them one at a time until you find the one problem.

    Then right-click on it: hide.

    For windows update issues:

    Can someone help me? I have a dell windows vista and the cd/dvd drive won't work correctly. Whenever I have insert a cd/dvd, it takes forever to read, and it ejects itself. Why?

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • How can I get my serial number of Vista after the upgrade the W7?

    I have a laptop that had the serial number of windows vista on the back, after a few months, I've installed the upgrade to windows 7 and now I need to reinstall everything cause my computer does not work but the serial number has been removed, and I don't have it, and using programs to detect only shows the serial number of the windows 7 upgrade kit. How can we recover the serial number of my vista?

    Hello

    Sorry, but he can't be replaced or found now

    You can buy recovery disks vista from your computer manufacturer

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    normally, they do not require an input product key from your part during installation

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  • Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

    I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

    Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

    If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

    You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

    New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

    • \USERS\\Desktop\
    • \USERS\\Downloads\
    • \USERS\\Favorites\
    • \USERS\\Documents\
    • \USERS\\Music\
    • \USERS\\Pictures\
    • \USERS\\Videos\

    ... etc...

    Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

  • I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.

    I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?

    It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(

  • Code product key? had reboot my computer and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop

    Hi, I'm having a problem with my laptop. I bought my laptop online, a year ago, and I got a virus. Then, I had my computer reset and I need a code for Windows Vista from the bottom of my laptop. After looking through records and information, we found that he had no number. He worked initially but then recently he was asked for a product key or something of the sort code. I was using my laptop but I cannot customise my background etc.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you very much

    The code is located on a label and is a 25-digit alpha-numeric (and very hard to read) code separated into 5 groups of 5 numbers separated by dashes.  If you can't find it on the bottom of your laptop, open the battery housing and remove the battery and look there - I know of cases where this is where it was placed.

    If you can't find the product key, your only choice is to contact the manufacturer and see if they can help.  Sometimes the relocations made with recovery disks don't need to be activated (depends on the manufacturer and their recovery process must ask them and confirm before you spend money on the recovery discs).  A valid product key is required for activation if activation is required - there is no way around this problem.  And in case you are considering on it, you can't switch from one product not enabled - you need to do a clean and complete installation (update disc will not work).

    I hope this helps and that the manufacturer can help you.

    Good luck!
