  Hello

  Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

  It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

• I removed Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Vista 64-bit installed, but when I enter the key it says the key is already in use. How can I fix it?

  I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit edition

  I bought Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 in a box in 2008, I installed the 32 edition because at the time I was told not all software will work with the edition 64 a month ago, I decided to windows 7 Ultimate Via Amazon purchase which proved be a copy of the counterfeit money and Amazon me has now repaid , so what I do, well I could buy another copy of windows 7 Ultimate or I could give the other Version of windows that came in the same box with a product key a go, so I removed and formatted the hard drive and reinstalled 64 bit version on my drive using the product key original that I used on the 32-bit Edition for four years and when I try to register the 64 bits edition, that is to say someone else using this product key, you will have to buy another key or a copy of windows 7. Well, I decided to wait until Windows 8 will be released, that's why I decided to try the Vista 64 - bit Edition?

  Or better yet, I might switch to a Mac OS x system?

  The answer is not to buy Windows 7 from a dealer on the market of Amazon.  Stick to Amazon itself.  Amazon Marketplace is as eBay and other auction sites and online delivery.  It is composed of persons whose practices sales are questionable.  You won't get counterfeit product from Amazon itself.

  You have to solve the problem with Vista 64-bit using phone activation.

  Activate by phone.  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736912 (WS.10) .aspx

  Or click Start and type ' slui.exe 4.

  Do not answer all prompts automatic until it asks you if you want to speak to an agent.

  If you continue to have problems with activation, run the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool

  Once downloaded, run the tool. Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button. Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

• HP Pavilion a6712F: Windows vista says foxfire is still open when its ' not

  Sometimes when I'm ready to work on the computer, a window appears & says that Foxfire is still running and to shut down before I could continue. As far as I know, it does not work. I have to restart to open a session. Using Windows Vista 64-bit.

  Thank you.

  At least.  Here are a couple of things to try if the problem persists according to Mozilla.

  You can see this:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-already-running-not-responding

  Also

  Make sure that the profile of default value = 1 in profiles.ini points to an existing profile folder.

  You can remove profiles.ini to force Firefox to create a new default profile.

  See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile

  The problem is not with your computer or Windows, there is a problem with Firefox under Vista.  Problem only way to get is to use another browser.

  When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:

  The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

  If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

• My computer says that my drive is empty when it is not...

  I have a toshiba satellite l300 with windows vista and a dvd - r with pictures on it, and whenever I try to watch the photos told me that the disk is empty, but if I try to put something else on the disc it then told me that the disk is write protected.
  I know for a fact that the photos are on the dvd because I can play with my Xbox 360 and also my dvd player, and I also watched them at my friend using their computer.
  Does anyone know why my computer says dvd is blank when it clearly isn't?
  I did not burn the dvd, that it was given to me so I don't know anything about how it is burned, but I know that the photos ARE out there and I really need to find a way to get them on my computer.

  Hello

  Some discs will not work on other machines to due to different alignment problems. Other discs work on your machine, or just one or a few? If only a few then the tolerance of the machine and your unit are on opposite sides of the authorized spectrum. You might even find some discs burn you work on another computer when those burned on it will not work on your. This is because your drive is in fact several devices in one box and the tolerance of each part can be defined in different. Readers can be re-aligned however normally it's really not worth doing.

  ---------------------------------------------------------

  If you have problems with all the drives check the below:

  Try this double click Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - device - tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive of the driver - UNINSTALL - REBOOT this will refresh the default driver stack.

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

• Satellite A100-068 - for Windows Vista recovery disk

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite A100-068 where Windows broke down. When I turn it on it says configuration update 3 of 3. After awhile it will restart and returns with the same message. It is not possible to boot into safe mode. (Same problem). I searched the net for a concludes but only found that I have to reinstall windows (Vista Home premeum). My problem is that I Don t equipped of a Medea. The PC came with windows pre-installed, and there was no partition of medea or recovery disk recovery.

  Is it possible to buy DVDs that will work with the OEM installation (in Danish) license, or I can get a toshiba restore disk or?

  Please help me out here.

  Hey,.

  Normally, you need to create this recovery disc yourself using pre-installed recovery disc creator, but I think that now it s too late because Windows doesn't start anymore.

  But you can order the CD here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  If you can t order it, ask an authorized service provider. Alternative use a normal disc of Microsoft and the drivers of Toshiba page.
