  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.

  It depends on what caused the problem. The system could have hardware problems and need
  repair. I would like to have a competent computer store look at the. And get the disc would be a
  good idea.

• Product key Windows vista family premium is not valid for activation?

  OK, thanks for that. You want to mean by clean install, format the drive, then install again installation dvd or tell you since the recovery disk that is created as a separate on my laptop drive. And, if I clean install on my laptop, it will ask to enter the product key during installation?

  Both the Dell recovery disk and partition recovery integrated automatically reformat the hard drive and return the machine to its original state of delivery (at least in theory) - should all have integrated the manufacturer key and requires no key when installing, please write. The integrated partition is probably the best to use in a first time - this is the fastest and less hassle.

  Remember to backup ALL your data to external storage first, as with will wipe away the C: partition and can erase any other partition on the hard drive as well.

  The system is designed for scoped him key to the manufacturer, given three things

  (1) the appropriate key

  (2) the right table SLIC in BIOS

  (3) certificates/licenses well integrated in the software.

  -in your case this system is broken somehow, perhaps following an attack of malware, or a faulty program or "accidental damage" of the software. The key and SLIC table is still OK, but somewhere the ability of the operating system to properly access licenses collapsed - either licenses are missing (unlikely) or the registry has been damaged so that the OS is looking in the wrong place, the wrong information or (or looking at all!).

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to 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 settings.

  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.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  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
