• Windows Vista key for different edition is installed, how to fix?

  I have an Acer PC with his side a certificate for Windows Vista Business. However, Windows Vista Home Premium has been installed on it. It is now demanding activation, indicating that previously the typical product key is not valid and not accepting is not the Vista Business product key.

  Is it possible (non-fissuration) I can change the installed Windows Vista Business edition so it will accept the key, without having to do a reinstall complete? Keeping in mind I can't even log.

  Otherwise, a CD to install Windows Vista normal company accepts OEM Acer product key or I will have to try to find the disc from Acer?

  Colin - I think the connection problem because the system is RTM, rather than SP2 - the RTM will feature Mode of Redcued heavily neutered if not authentic, that allows only access via a browser.

  It should be possible to rearm the machine to make it functional again for purposes of data recovery...

  The openg screen, it will offer to open a browser - if your default browser is IE do the following (it won't work in Chrome or Firefox - later)

  Open a window of IE and in the address bar, type C:\Windows\System32 and press the Enter key - IE should open the folder.

  Look down the list of files until you find CMD.exe (or just CMD)

  Right-click on the file and select run as administrator

  In the command prompt window, type the following command

  CSCRIPT SLMGR. VBS /REARM

  and press the Enter key - after a few seconds, you should get a 'success' message, as well as a request to restart - are, and you should have another 30 days to resolve your problem.

  If your default browser is not IE, then start using safe and open IE, in Internet Options, change the default for IE browser, then restart in normal mode and proceed as above.

• Windows Vista 64B for Service Pack 2 failed to start

  I've updated Windows Vista 64 b for Service Pack 2 and I get a blue screen when I start my Dell Labtop. Windows Vista automatic updates to phase 2, and automatic restarting leads to a blue screen again. After continuing in Mode safe mode with networking, stage 3 is installed automatically. Message: update not correctly configured back shanges. A new cycle with automatically updates configuration. When restarting a meesage appears: Windows failed to install the important updates. Start the computer again, the message is: Windows has recovered from unexpected shutdown. Windows can check for a solution of the problem. I check the box and Windows plans an another automatic update which leads new blue screen. How can I get out of this loop? Service Pack 2 does not work for me. Emil

  I don't have a system restore function on my computer.

  The problem seems to have been resolved by replacing the video driver that has been done by Mrs support. So far, the automated configuration update has worked and no new boot failure took place.

  Hello
   
   
  1. don't you make changes to the computer when you used the last time? For example, you have installed updates or a program of ny?
   
  Method 1.
  First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.
   
  Method 2.

  Step A.
  Start your computer in safe mode and check if it starts.
  Troubleshooting in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshooting-problems-while-in-safe-mode
   
  Step B.
  If it starts on the desktop in safe mode and then set your computer to the clean boot and check if it starts successfully. If it starts successfully can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.
  
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
   
  Method 3.
  I recommend you to restore system using a Windows Vista DVD.

  Here's how:
  To open the Options menu system recovery using a system repair disc or a Windows Vista installation disc.
  If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the Windows Vista installation disc or a system repair disc previously.
  To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.
  a. Insert the disc.
  b. restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
  c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.
  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  e. If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
  f. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
  
  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it and then choose the system restore and check.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  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
