To OEM Version Or Not To OEM Version: Restriction In The License Means It Cannot Be Transferred To Another Computer
Jun 4, 2008If I get the OEM version, I know that a restriction in the license means it cannot be transferred to another computer. I need to get clarification on the following:
1) What happens if my computer crashes and I am told I have to reformat the hard drive and re-install Windows? Am I forced to buy a new license?
2) What if I want to have a backup hard drive, or upgrade my existing hard drive to a bigger one? If it's the same computer and only the hard drive is upgraded or a second one added, does that mandate a new license?

Jul 5, 2007I upgraded my pc and bought Windows Vista ultimate 64bit, and i would like to install Windows vista Business 64bit. How can i do it? I took ultimate because it was the only version i could find (in my area anyway) that had a 64bit version in the box. But i don't want the media center, the high definition, and all the multimedia stuff. All of these ultimate "extras" are of no use whatsover to me. So my question is basically can i install the Business version with my ultimate key ? (is it "downwards" compatible in a way ?). I don't understand why ultimate is the only one with 64bit in the box. It doesn't make sense to me. It would have been much more logical for the Business version to be the one with 64bit in the box.

Jun 13, 2008Even though it has had its own problems of late, Windows XP remains the most-used version of Windows. The newest data from Web metrics vendor Net Applications, for example, pegs XP as driving 73 percent of the personal computers that went online last month, five times the nearest competitor, Microsoft's own Windows Vista. Which is why an impending deadline five weeks from today is important. According to Microsoft, June 30 is the last day it will permit retailers and OEMs to sell the nearly seven-year-old operating system......

Aug 26, 2009I purchased a new PC in early 2007 that came with XP. A month or so later I received the Vista upgrade CD which I have never installed. I intend to buy Windows 7 when it becomes available and wish to minimize my system upgrade problems as much as possible. Based on my understanding I would have to do a complete harddrive erase to install Win 7 and then reinstall all my applications. If possible and practical I'd like to upgrade XP to Vista and then Vista to Windows 7. My question am I likely to have problems going from a current up to date version of XP to a 2+ year old version of Vista which would require many updates to bring up to the current level?.

Mar 23, 2008Getting the following error on 2 computers. Tried the suggestion below but connector is still not installing. The version of the Connector software does not match the version of Windows Home Server. Make sure you are installing the correct version of the Connector software.
On your home computer, delete the %ProgramFiles%Windows Home Server folder if it exists. Then install the Connector software from the Software shared folder on your home server, rather than from the CD. (Perhaps you have an old CD.) Connect to YourServerNameSoftware Home Server Connector Software, and then run Setup.exe.

Mar 27, 2008I've heard conflicting reports as to whether Office 2000 will run successfully under Vista. In the hope that they are compatible, I installed Office 2000 and then installed (from the Microsoft site) updates SR-1a and SP-2. Then I downloaded SP3, but when I attempted to install it, I got the message "The expected version of the product was not found on your system." Is there some reason for this, or should I just try again? I looked for, but could not find, a newsgroup that deals with Office 2000 -- is there an alternative newsgroup that would be better for these questions?

I keep getting a message about dll has a version ( bunch of numbers) were more( numbers) was expected. WMP is not installed correctly and must be re installed. do you want to install player from MS site.
I tried several times and it just bounces me from one place to another on their site. I tried to delete WMP from PC thinking I could re load it, and in the control panel for doing so it's as if it does not even exist. Is it hidden somewhere? I finally tried loading a Real player and it works fine. Just wonder what the hell has happened to the WMP. Vista Home Premium with all the up dates if it matters.
64-bit Version Missing?
Sep 6, 2009I purchased a new Dell laptop this past Spring and opted for 64-bit Vista Home Premium. I had so many problems with applications (Dreamweaver CS3 and Ulead PhotoImpact 13 as two examples) not running properly that I got 32-bit Vista from Dell and started over. I now need to purchase another laptop and am finding most are being sold with 64-bit Windows with no apparent option, at least from HP and Dell, to order 32-bit instead. Other than being able to address more RAM, what is the big attraction of the 64-bit version that I'm missing?
