  Hello

  You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

  Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.

  ______________________________________________________________

  Also that, read also:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

  They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.

  _____________________________________________________________

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  ____________________________________________________________

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

• My PC has been freezing on me. I am running 32-bit Vista Home Premium.

  My PC has been freezing on me. Everything just hangs and I have to use the reset button. I don't know why its happening, but its very predictable and only occurs under very specific conditions.

  It happens ONLY when I have "Shut Down", leave my computer off for at least a few hours and then turn it back on. It does not matter if I leave the power on or off. It will freeze in a few minutes to turn on my PC.

  Once I use the reset button, it freezes more until I have stop and wait for a few hours yet.

  If I stopped and turn it back on in a few minutes, it does not freeze. I haven't checked if pre-empting the gel by stopping before the Frost occurs prevents occur, I'll probably test the next time I have to leave my PC turned off for an extended period of time.

  If I use "Restart", it does not freeze. Although an old problem with very a decrease in performance after using "Restart" is still there. (Note: it is a very old problem that I've never been able to fix,.) I took several technology experts, and may not understand what is the cause either, but I found a temporary solution. Using Shut Down and then turn the PC back returns performance back to normal. Occurs when a reboot occurs as a result of the update of Windows too, so I just avoid using any form of "Restart" whenever possible, but I have always been updated Windows. I think that its not related to this problem of gel.)

  If I put it on sleep mode and come back after many hours, it does not seem to freeze. Recently, it froze once after that, but it didn't happen since then, so it might be a fluke.

  I don't know what is happening. It happened very rarely over the past 2 years but only started happening every time in the last 3 months. Windows told me recently that he recovered from a blue screen when it happened, but this message appeared only once so far.

  Whenever it freezes, I mean a period of activity of the HDD for about 2 seconds. And then read/write rhythmic sounds half lasting one second time per second, which continues for about 10 seconds. After that, the hard drive noise settle in a low kind of drone. I can barely hear the hard disk read or write something, but its much softer. It doesn't seem to change this State no matter how long I leave it.

  I think its some sort of hardware failure that only happens when the PC components are 'cold', if that's even possible, but I can't be sure.

  Speculation as to what is the cause of software or hardware? If it's a hardware problem, is there a particular part of the PC which would cause it to freeze predictable in such a specific circumstance?

  I use mode sees as a temporary solution instead of closing my PC, but I fear that the problem will be extended later.

  My motherboard is old enough that my CMOS battery is dying, it became apparent a month ago. I'll soon change the battery. I don't know if the problem might be related.

  Hello

  Start by making sure that the software is running properly and change this battery CMOS ASAP.

  And always make sure that the latest hardware drivers are downloaded and installed on your computer manufacturer's Web site.

  Go to their site > drivers download section > your model number > operating system > drivers > download and install.

• Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

  Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

  After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

  Hello

  1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

  If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

  ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

  ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

  See the link below:

• My Satellite laptop has been freezing randomly

  Hello

  I've seen a lot of posts on the subject, but no solution. So my laptop has been freezing at random the day I bought it. Today it happens much more often, this becomes ridiculously boring.

  Is there a way to fix this?

  > Once again, there was a notification that emerged after one of those who freeze soemthing mean in the sense of "there was a problem with amd (graphics card)?"but it was resovled."" It's all updated however.

  This notification comes from the graphics card driver. It might be possible that there is a problem with the graphics driver or with the graphics chip.
  Try to install the latest driver for Toshiba page. In case this doesn't help, recommend you to contact the service agents to check the hardware parts

  But the previous user's right, its really hard to talk about issues that put t always appear or are difficult to reproduce

  * Help *! After installing itunes 8 my CD/DVD/RW Drive has been disabled.

  It's already happened and I've restored by removing the upper filters and lower in the Vista registry but itunes then told me "the registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing." and I can't seem to burn anything from itunes.

  There, nobody how to restore CD/DVD/RW drive and retain full use of itunes please?

  Have you tried reinstalling iTunes?
  Reinstall the old iTunes, restart the computer and clean using CCleaner. Then, you can install the latest version of iTunes.

  If it doesn't work try to remove upper and lower filters again. Maybe you should do this after you have reinstalled iTunes.

  Finally and above all, this might be useful for you:
