Immediately after installing Vista SP1, every time Outlook 2003 is opened I get an "End-User License Agreement" accept window which I click on accept but it happens every single time Outlook is opened! Any ideas on why this is happening and how to eliminate the constant prompt?
View 5 RepliesHere 3 days ago i was playing a game on my computer and suddenly it just shut off. when i try to start it again the fan is just running for 4 sec then it shuts down and reboots again. This loop will go on forever and it never starts. The only way of getting it to stop is cutting the power totally. I laid my computer to rest for a day and i tried starting again.
it runned perfectly for about 1 hour, then whitout any warning at all it just shuts off again, Just like if someone cutted the power. I have not been able to start it since. I have tried to plug out the harddisk too see if something on that might have caused the problem, but same thing happens, Keeps rebooting every 4th second.
We have a problem for which there seem to be countless posts from other frustrated Vista users - a Windows Update gets applied and the Vista machine goes into an endless loop of rebooting after saying 'Stage 3 of 3'. We took the computer to our local computer shop recently (in July 2009) and they reinstalled Vista for several hundred bucks (because we didn't have the skills to do a repair). But when we got it home - voila! it does it again!
Has Microsoft not fixed this problem? Is there not a permanent fix to it? It makes me want to buy a mac and throw Vista in the garbage. Everyone I know (everyone!) who went to Vista wishes they had stayed on XP until the 'fixed Vista' is released, which I understand is in Oct 09). Vista and Windows ME will go down in history as the worst operating systems that any company ever created. Now that I've finished whining, does anyone have any answers?
When I start windows home premium on a new pc for the first time should i get an option to choose the installation language? I bought a pc in germany and the start up failed i got an error message in an endless loop i got it to start with the recovery disc but that has set it to German and i cant change it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up Windows Mail and Outlook 2007 to use an email box in a new website. I have two email boxes with different passwords on the same site. The first account in Windows Mail worked... but the second, set up the same way, will not. I get repeated Windows Security dialog boxes with "verify user name and password" until I cancel the dialog which returns the following error:
Account: 'mail.mysite.org (1)', Server: 'mail.mysite.org', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR authorization failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
I'm using Vista 64-bit which has always been exceedingly careful about what programs it will allow to run... but the places to adjust that are obscure. Is the problem in Vista-64 security setting? Turning off the Norton Internet security makes no difference. If I import the one account that works in Windows Mail into Outlook 2007 (and check that all of the settings are correct) it doesn't work in Outlook. The same endless Security dialog occurs.
When I try to get new email, it asked me for my password. It doesn't accept it though. I can log in via yahoo.com. error message: Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR popgate argument(s) missing.', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently set a password for my user account in Vista Home Premium, which worked fine when I locked the account and unlocked it again to try it out. After restarting, however, it wouldn't accept the password! There's only my account and a disabled guest account, and I use the password for some of my online accounts, so I know I got the password right. I got back into Windows by using the password reset on my USB-stick, but it's weird... and it gets better! Today I locked the account while I was in the library, and when I got back I couldn't log back in! Switching users, however, and then logging in with the locked account worked... so password and user account are fine, it just doesn't always get accepted.

View 9 Replies View Relatedwindows vista home premium/windows media player 11. Today I can no longer play certain mp3's I have. I am told I need a license and to get it, I am sent to a website that does nothing. No information on the website is offered to obtain the license other than to go to certain other websites, and pay for the license.
Up until today, I could play the mp3's with no problems. Perhaps due in part in using "Rhapsody" for the first time. My problem is, how and where exactly do I obtain this "license" which should be free, or at least at bare minimal cost for ALL of my mp3's? Not just a select few. It's my damn property, microsoft ain't gonna tell me how and when i can use it.

Does anybody know if it is possible to install windows Vista with a Windows 7 license key? I'm planning to buy a new pc but I don't want to switch to 7 right away, I prefer to upgrade only later on. If I'm correct it was possible to install XP with a Vista license, but I can't seem to find the same information for Windows 7.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed VMware on my Vista 64-bit desktop. I used the Vista 32-bit software that I have on my laptop to set up a guest system. I believe that I now need to activate this latter system by purchasing a new license.
When I go the ComputerProperties route to activate the system and to purchase a new license, I keep getting the message "Unable to process your order at this time. Please try again later." (I am now several days later...) Is there another route I should use to activate my software before my time expires (and my computer self destructs)?
I have a Sony Vaio VGC-LA1. Originally it was running Windows XP Media Centre 2005. I upgraded it to Vista Home Premium using a Vista Express Upgrade Disc sent to me from Sony. this included all the relevant updated drivers and applications. A few weeks ago the HDD died and had to be replaced. I've reinstalled XP from my recovery disc, then upgraded again to Vista using Vista Express Disc. However I can't activate Vista as it says its already in use and I require another license. How can I activate it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have acquired my Vista license in a rather peculiar mode, I will describe it so bear with me (there's a question at the end): I had been looking for a Vista license for a while but most IT shops didn't have any types on stock until I reached three webshops which were offering Vista Home Premium (both x32 and x64, the type that I now run). All of them were advertised on site only with the simple name at a price around 100 and something USD (about 130 I would guess with currency conversion).
I called all three asking for an update quote mentioning my interest in a purchase. Two called me back confirming the price but saying the license there was OEM, therefore it can't be sold like that, only with a system purchased from them, either on the spot or purchased from them less than three months ago. I had no idea what OEM means at the time. The third one however accepted my order and shipped a Vista package, which contained a brief OEM manual, a sticker and the original DVD (with all those cute colorful Microsoft holograms). Of course the package was legit, I put the sticker on my PC, installed it, passed genuine validation & everything. But I still wonder, since this package is obviously OEM and I didn't get my computer from that company anyway, is there a chance I could get in trouble for that? OR maybe the company who sold me the license will get in trouble?
