I have a new hd on order, and I will install vista with my disc and her windows product key (her laptop) I shouldn't have any problem with that right?

I had bought an HP 2133 when I was in Bahrain. When I first started up the computer, Vista Business started installing, probably from the Recovery partition. Anyway, I am in Turkey now and I upgraded mh harddisk and wanted to install Vista Business on the new harddisk. Underneath my computer there is an original Microsoft sticker for the product Key. During the Vista installation I typed this key but received an error message that the key cannot be validated. The key starts with J4CQ3- What might be the reason? What is the solution? I want to use my original Vista Product Key.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy daughter has a dell laptop with Windows Vista installed by Dell. She has had the computer for 9 months. Today while trying to startup her computer, she got a message that her VISTA product key is invalid. Of course the recommendations involve getting on line with the computer which will not open windows. The other resolutoin suggested is to type in the product key on the computer. I am reluctant to do that since it says that if VISTA does not start up then Windows will be lost and the computer may not work at all.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy 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....
View 6 Replies View RelatedWell when I bought it, I tryed to get Windows onto my Laptop and did. But then I had to Defrag my whole Computer and the little sticker that was on the bottom of my Laptop with the Windows Info came off and then my Mother cleaned my room and she threw away the sticker. So I could not Activate windows. Now my 30 days are almost up and my Questions are....
1. is there a way to Activate windows without the Product Key? I have the Receipt when I bought the Laptop, and the box it came in and all the papers as well.
or
2. Get a new Product key without spending another $100 USD For Windows Again.
My computer told said that Vista wasn't activated and that it had to be in 30 days. I purchased this computer with Vista installed, so I went to the side of my tower and checked the product key and tried activating it. For some reason it said it's already in use. So then I tried the Phone Activation and went through all the procedures and it's been activated. What I don't get is why wouldn't it let me activate online, but let me by phone? Was my key being used by another person or was it hacked? Luckily I didn't have to blow $150.00 for nothing.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn moving to Vista Ultimate 64bit, I started using Vista Mail (or Windows Mail), because I knew that I could no longer use Outlook 2000 as I had before I upgraded my PC and OS from XP. I have read lots of articles about how Vista (or Windows Mail), is being obsoleted by Microsoft in favor of Windows Live Mail ?? To be honest, I take a lot of what is written by "PC insiders" with a grain of salt, sort of like how I take the "political pundits", on TV. That probably is unfair to those who are sincere and are insiders to the PC and software industry and are trying to help, whereas the "TV and radio pundits" are always full of crap.
-I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HONESTLY IF VISTA (OR WINDOWS MAIL), IS A PRODUCT THAT IS ON THE DOA LIST. - I also have been looking for other e-mail clients as well (strongly considering Thunderbird), for various reasons. I was using Firefox on XP and use it also on Vista Ultra 64bit, I used to use Office 2000 when I had XP, I now use openoffice.org, which does not have a email client...........
when i type a document in microsoft and it pops up type your key numbers in i typed them in from under my laptop they dont match i contacted hp but they never get back to me what should i do i think the wrong sticker was put on in the factory overis seas
