Apr 2, 2008I'm running Vista64 ultimate SP1 and had to reactive a month or two ago because of hardware changes. Tonight I flashed my bios (only thing I did) and I was notified I had to activate Vista again! It took about 20min last time... what a pain in the arse.
I decided to attempt an online reactivation and low and behold Vista reactivated? How could this be? I installed once with the key. The second time I had to call Microsoft (in India I think) and the third validation was OK online? I don't know if this has happed to others but I thought I'd share my weird experience with the latest and greatest Micro$oft product.
Product Key For Upgrade Ultimate
Mar 23, 2008My laptop came with Vista Home Premium Edition installed on it. I used the Window Anytime upgrade disk to upgrade to Ultimate which it did. My problem is that it did not give me a 25 key for the upgrade. It just upgraded my laptop. I now need to take the laptop back to factory settings due to security issues with the media player and all I have is the product ID from the My computer property page. Can I upgrade my machine to the Ultimate with this 20 number code or do I need the 25 key code? I don't have the code and in contacting Windows they want $59. just to talk to tech support?? Can I find this code in the registry? Any help is appreciated, for I don't want to pay for the upgrade twice....

Oct 18, 2006Don't feel like typing in your product key before installing Windows Vista? It is now possible to install any version of Windows Vista and use it for 14 days before having to enter a product key and activating it.

Cant Install Ultimate 64
May 23, 2009Six days of nothing but headache. I ordered Windows Vista Ultimate 64 for the sole purpose of going beyond 3gb of ram. When I tried to instal I got a NTLDR missing message. So I go out and purchase a bran new hard drive "Seagate baracuda 500gb" I have only my DVD drive (for booting vista dvd instal) and the bran new HD hooked up with 2gb of ram. I shut down the pc, Boot from Dvd and I get a black screen with "Windows is loading files...." at the bottom with a White progresion bar. After the progresion bar is done the system reboots and loops back to do the same thing in a never ending process.

Apr 29, 2009My question is for the optimal performance or "preferred" install should I partition my hard drive accordingly:
- 1 6GB Par for page file
- 1 30GB for the OS
- 1 284GB for my data
Any thoughts about the hibernation file, perhaps a separate partition for that as well or am I sounding too partition happy?or is there a better configuration? Essentially I have an AMD TUX2 64(2.1GHz) CPU and 4GB RAM.
Install Games In Ultimate X64!
Apr 19, 2008So I had a virus. I reinstalled vista, and wiped absolutely everything from my hard drives. I reinstalled all the drivers, but had a bit of a problem with the new version of CCC from ATI (my card is an x1950pro). I had the 'MOM.Implementation" error message, and could not install games during the time I had the error. The game would come up (for example crysis), and load, and I would click 'Install' and then I would get a message about 'setup.exe' has stopped working and windows is trying to fix it. I thought that was because of my graphics card. Apparently not. Once my graphics drivers were working fine, I tried to install it again. Same problem. I'm a big gamer and I really want to figure out how to fix this. I have also tried this with all the other games I own, which all used to work fine until the OS reinstall.

Nov 20, 2008I have a DVD that enables me to select any Vista 64 version that I choose based on product key. By mistake I entered the key for "Enterprise" when I wanted "Ultimate". The Enterprise version does not include Media Center and I just want to add Windows Media Center without uninstalling and reinstalling the OS. The install CD will not let me upgrade.
Are there any Registry tweeks I can do to turn on Media Center or change the install to Ultimate?
Ultimate Will Not Install Over My Home Premium
Jun 26, 2008I have a full version of Home Premium and have been running it for a year or more.
I bought Vista Ultimate upgrade. However when I try and install and upgrade
to Premium I get a message saying.
You need a newer version of this software to upgrade.
I am running Vista SP1. It offers to do a clean install, which I do not want.
What does Ultimate want? It is so vague.
If it is an upgrade it certainly does not need a clean install.
Ultimate Install OEM 32-bit Lost Track
Mar 23, 2008I am trying to Install Windows Vista Ultimate OEM 32-bit on my new build that I recently purchased. I have got to different stages and have had so many errors that I have lost track. I have got the BSOD numerous times and to be honest, I don't know why I decided to buy Vista.
I have got so far to the Hard drive drvers screen before I plugged in my USB memory stick and it stopped responding. After that, I haven't go as far. Sometimes I get a BSOD right after it has finished loading the files explaining to me that it couldn't write to the memory because it was read-protected. I haved also got to the language select screen but it doesn't respond. I've even got as far as the regristration key input (again) and I get a little pop-up box saying all sorts of errors. Is it my system which isn't compatible? (BTW my Vista is legal)
WMP 11 Not Play DVDs On A New Ultimate Install
Jul 11, 2009WMP 11 will not play DVDs on a fresh install of Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Gives the usual "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card" error. VLC plays DVDs just fine. All updates are installed up to SP2. Video card is ATI radeon 9600/9700 mobile with latest drivers (note, Vista WDDM drivers gave same error as did the "windows update" recommended driver - finally used catilyst to load newest 4/27/2009 drivers 8.593.100.0)...

Home pear to pear workgroup network. 1 Vista Ultimate 64 bit, 2 XP Pro's, 2 XP Home. Lexmark Z600 printer hung off of the Vista PC. Working fine. Trying to use this Lexmark printer as the main printer for one of the XP Home PC's. From the XP Home PC can see the Vista share printer.
When installing, told that this is not the correct print driver & does not install. Solution 1 - Tried installing the standard XP 32 bit driver for this printer on the Vista PC so that the XP machine can download that driver during shared install.

Install Vista Ultimate From Retail 64-bit DVD?
Jun 23, 2008I know that retail versions of Vista Ultimate come with media for both 32-bit and 64-bit installation and that the same product will work for either. Machines that are purchased with Vista pre-installed come with either 32-bit or 64-bit versions, but there is no way to change from a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version, ever if you have 64-bit hardware. The COA on the bottom of the machine says Vista Ultimate, but does not say 32-bit or 64-bit. I have been told that you can reinstall Vista onto machines that originally came with OEM versions of Vista using retail media and activate using the OEM-supplied product key. (This is different from XP, where retail disks will not activate using OEM product keys). My question is whether I can install Vista Ultimate from a retail 64-bit DVD (that is licensed onto a different machine) and activate using the OEM key and whether or not Microsoft thinks this is a legal use of their product.

View 6 Replies View RelatedInstall Vista Ultimate 64 (w/SP1) With 4GB. Didn't Work
May 24, 2008I attempted to install Vista Ultimate 64 (w/SP1) with 4GB. Didn't work - BSOD. I took 1 stick out so now I had 2GB. After about 5 reboots, I finally got Vista to install. However, as soon as I'd install the latest gfx driver (175.16-Vista64) it would crash. I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft - they couldn't solve it. Called EVGA, they said they hadn't heard of any problems with the latest driver. I installed an older driver (169.25) and got it work. I never got the system stable, and I don't think it's the gfx card.
I tried installing Gears of War, which seemed to install just fine, however, if I started to do something else (I tried this twice) it would give me a BSOD. Then, I tried installing it and nothing else. It crashed on it's own giving me a BSOD. Another time I was just looking around the features in Control Panel and it crashed. Bottom line - it was never very stable.
I decided to format my drive and start fresh. This time, I could get the Vista disc to load and install, but it would crash at various places during install (sometimes after "Installing Features," but most of the time just before it would finish - so about 30-45 minutes into the installation). The errors I have received are the following (but not limited to, ):........
