• I want to buy a desktop computer and sell the laptop without windows vista software. Is there a way I can install windows vista in my new office.

  I bought a laptop (compaq F30 us in the United States) and windows original vista came with the compaq laptop (bought in US). Now, I want to buy a desktop computer and sell the laptop without windows vista software. Is there a way I can install windows vista in my new office. I don't have the cd or the software with me key since they have not provided for me at the time of purchase

  Hello

  No there is no way, how the do, because the license of Windows Vista is part of the computer compaq laptop - this is the license OEM - and cannot be separated.

  (in case the laptop is broken and cannot be repaired, then the license expiresand cannot be used on another computer)

• Cannot install old set of 16 bits on new 64-Bit Windows 7. Tried to solving problems of compatibility without success. It ran OK on Vista, XP... all the way back to Windows 3.1.

  Hello giant,

  It is not possible to use 16-bit on a 64-bit computer applications/games.

  However, you can download and install Wondows XP Mode for windows 7. Later, you can install your 16-bit application in XP mode.

  You can download the application from the link given:

• The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista business product key

  Product key bad for the wrong version?

  Hello

  Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)

  http://S13.PostImage.org/57nfn5pqv/vistareg.jpg

  He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."

  How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.

  You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

  The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

  It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

• Virus on my computer. Windows Vista has been altered by the virus and my computer does not have a product key

  My computer caught a SERIOUS virus that damaged my beta Windows Vista together. So I've upgraded to Windows 7, however, I have not the key product for Windows Vista or 7. Is it possible to set this up with Windows Vista or 7 because my product key for computers, which was at the back of it, has been erased or worn. There is no name on the back of my laptop sticker saying what product key to use. Thank you!

  What virus? How did you know you had it? You run an anti-virus

  So I had to upgrade to Windows 7,

  Ugh! The upgrade to a different version of Windows does not remove a virus. In
  did the upgrade when you have a problem is always a bad
  thing to do and will be much more likely to make the problem worse than in

  However, I have not the key product for Windows Vista or 7.

  Where have you upgraded to Windows 7? Upgrade to a
  legitimate version Windows7 is a bad thing, but if you went to one
  a pirated version, it is likely to cause additional problems and you
  are probably in trouble now and need to clean install a

  The product key on the back of your laptop is for what version of
  Windows it came with and may not be used for all other versions. If you
  don't have a product key for Vista or Windows 7, the laptop
  no doubt supplied with XP. Is this correct?

  If it came with XP, it is very old and it is almost certainly elsewhere
  low power for Windows 7. In addition the drivers you need for Windows
  7 there are almost certainly not, and you will not be able to run
  Windows 7 on it.

  At this point, you are probably in trouble no matter what you do. You
  must reinstall Windows XP itself, but you no longer have your
  product key and you probably haven't a Windows XP CD no more. You
  can try to ask the manufacturer of the laptop to a XP CD and product
  key, but I doubt if you can get at this late date.

  You can buy a copy of Windows 7, but once, you are likely in a way
  low power for the drivers you need and it will be unavailable.

  Hello

  You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.

  This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.

  You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.

  Here is the information about HP.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

  If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

  If HP's Vista recovery disks, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
