• Recovery of Outlook Contacts after you have reinstalled Windows Vista

  I had to reinstall Windows Vista for a variety of reasons.  I use Windows Backup and Restore Center to back up all personal files, send an email and contacts to an external hard drive.  For some reason, I can't find or recover the e-mail contacts that I had saved before reinstalling.  Y at - there a trick to this?  They were also not in the Windows.old file that I could tell.  Help, please. Thank you.

  Well I thought about it.  I had to physically locate the .pst file in about 2 weeks on the external hard drive.  I copied and pasted in my user profile.  Then he imported in Outlook.  All emails and contacts restored.  I knew there was a way to do it.

• My product key is not be accepted after you have reinstalled Windows Vista.

  Using product keys Vista reinstallation (OEM)

  I reinstalled Vista after failing to fix some registry errors. I threw down the front product key I have re-installed, but it's a product key which is not accepted by MSFT.  Instead of 25 numbers as it requires, I wrote a 20 (and part it says OEM).

  It's good to upgrade to a version XP OEM Windows Vista and upgrade CD is not a product key. The XP CD has a product key, but of course Vista is not accepting it.  Apparently Vista stops working in 20 days, if I activate it. What is the product code I can use!

  Not worth it!

  Obviously the disk did not contain certificates appropriate for the key.

  Your SLIC table seems to be the appropriate injector to install a Vista, rather than installing a XP, so a recovery disk Dell to Vista so that the machine can very well work - and is much less expensive than buying a new license.

  Your best option, if it comes to having to purchase a new license, is to buy a copy of Windows 7 upgrade, it would be cheaper that a full version of Vista from Dell and would be transferable to another machine if he died. ($120 MS for Home Premium upgrade of XP/Vista). You can check compatibility first, just in case there is a problem - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

  Activation problem

  I reinstalled Vista (upgrade), when I try to check and enter my product key, it says "only for the upgrade not a clean install.  On the activation screen, it shows all telephone support option.  Thanks for any help!

  This is because a product upgrade key requires a copy of Windows to upgrade.  That's why its called an 'upgrade '.

  Restore the copy of Windows you improved the first time and then move on to Vista.

• After you have reinstalled windows 7 on my computer hp laptop, internet wireless does not work. Any help please?

  I have a HP Pavilion g7 - 1205ev laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

  I bought a new hard drive, so I had to reinstall Windows.

  After installation, the laptop cannot connect to internet by wifi or Ethernet. After trying the troubleshooting it says that windows do not detect a network card installed properly.

  In the Device Manager, I see that there is an exclamation to these exact components:

  Standard VGA graphics card

  BCM20702AO

  Ethernet controller

  Network controller

  PCI device

  PCI Simple Communications controller

  SM Bus controller

  Download all these somewhere? And of course I'll upload them to another PC that my laptop will not at all online.

  I also tried to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on my laptop and the Ubuntu uses the Internet very well. (If this information is useful at all)

  Can someone tell me what to do? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

• After you have reinstalled Windows XP, I don't then even if it has been activated before activating it.

  original title: can't activate windows xp.

  I had to reinstall windows xp on my computer. I used the disc that came with my computer to reinstall windows.

  everything seems to have run successfully. now, I get a windows product activation window. "This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can log in. you want to activate the window now?

  When I say yes nothing happens, I see my background. There are no icons, no start nothing.

  What should I do to activate it.

  Almost no ONE in these forums works for MS - those who are indicated as such.

  These forums are peer-to-peer support

  Try to start in Safe Mode - if it circumvents the activation request

  If not, try to start in Safe Mond (command prompt) - who does?

  If so, try entering the command...

  Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

  Press the Enter key and reboot - self so who lets you return the system control.
