Windows Vista HomePremuim OEM - Key not work

recently my computer sony laptop hard drive broke, so I change the new one and then install oem Windows Vista HomePremuim but after I can not active there. My oem key comes from the sony laptop.  He says "the product key you entered dose does not seem to be a valid windows vata" product key.    now, I can only 30 days trial. only 28 days left. need help please.

How did you install Vista?  If you have used a dvd recovery then it shouldn't require the entry of a product key.  If you are being invited to activate it, you can activate using the 25 character product key printed on the label at the bottom of the laptop or, in models later in the battery compartment.  Make sure that you do not enter a B for an 8, etc.  I suggest to use a magnifying glass and a bright light to make sure that you read the characters correctly.

If it's a standard dvd of Windows, where did find the product key?  If it's a retail dvd, you must use one on the label on the dvd case.

  • Tecra M5: Impossible to duplicate on two screens, with windows vista nvidia driver does not work

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra M5 came with the graphics card Intel or nVidia.

    On laptops with nVidia graphics card, you can set a different option in nVidia Desktop Manager. for example allow several computers to office
    You should find it in the control panel.

    Unfortunately, I put t know exactly where the parameters are placed in the nVidia Manager because this notebook was shipped only with Windows XP but I'm sure that you will find.

    Good bye

  • Windows vista disk seems to not work

    I'm trying to reformat my computer, but when I try to boot from my 64 bit vista family drive premium without options appear. The disc spins, but it just shows the blue backscreen and does not run the usual options. I've only used the disc a couple of times before and it doesn't seem like scratches on it.

    If the problem is with the disc itself and I need to download files, how can I get it to load in the start?

    You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    There is no place to download a legal copy of the installtaion disc.  Here is Microsoft's policy on replacing lost or defective software: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.  You can always borrow a disk for Installation of Vista on the same size of the bit ANYONE and use if, for installation with your product key.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi martham

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    It is a standard error message coded in the game that occurs when MTE there is a mistake, for all sorts of reasons. It is a game crash, not a drive failure. You don't need to upgrade to a new version of the game. If you have downloaded a lot of tilesets and backgrounds, clean those out of your game directory. And if you have a large number of layouts in your Favorites list, delete the 'my' file that is located in your game directory

    In addition, check the compatibility of the game with Windows 7 from the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Try to install the game in compatibility mode and check if this solves the problem.

    Product key bad for the wrong version?

    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)

    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.
