View 5 Replies View RelatedI was using my purchased Vista Ultimate just fine on my first PC. But I just upgraded the motherboard and pretty much everything else. Now it's a new PC. So I took my Vista install CD, installed it on my new machine. Now I can't activate it. It won't let me saying it's already been activated. I recall someone told me that Vista activation is tied to the initial hardware you install it on. Is this really the case? If so, there has to be a resolution to this as Microsoft can't be that stupid to restrict you like this. I mean how am I supposed to upgrade my fing PC!? What do I do? I don't want to spend $60 on a support ticket. I tried to put in my PID which also now it's saying has expired!

In Windows Vista Ultimate...with a Brother MFC 7820N printer added...(or deleted)...I visited the Network & Sharing Center...I have a broadband home network with a designated location as Private. I can activate via radio button all options (network discovery, file sharing, public folder sharing, password protection sharing, & media sharing)...as evidenced by the radio button turning green....However, when I select the radio button to "turn on printer sharing" and press "Apply", I get the usual UAC box and press "Continue". Thereafter, the radio button remains grey...indicating that printer sharing is not active. I have reviewed settings in the Windows Firewall and confirmed that file and printer sharing exceptions are allowed...Likewise, my Antivirus software firewall is set to allow incoming and outgoing traffic but I did disable the AV firewall...but still get the same negative result. All of my research indicates that file and printer sharing work together...but not in this case.

(this is based on their experience with other users having reported this problem, it was solved by re-installing Vista..)
now pls note I'm NOT talking about the Windows activation prod key, but another one, a 2nd product key on sticker in my machine, specif. for digital cable TV.. Vista is not accepting this product key; I have to do a clean re-install, which means wiping out all my data and starting over.. this is a HUGE pain..pls also note that the card the cable co. installed is correct one (WMC checks to see if you have correct hardware before it proceeds, I wouldn't get as far as where it asks for digital cable tv product key if I didn't have correct hardware in there..) before I embark on re-installing Vista I would like to know if there's another solution to this problem..
I am trying to use my Lifecam VX-6000 with VISTA and I cannot load the drivers or anything for it because it is an XP based operating system.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI "upgraded" from 32bit XP, to Vista x64. Now, my system is plagued with a mainboard that auto-throttles when its chipset hits 45C temps. As a result, until I can figure out how to get a little more cooling into it, I've temporarily underclocked my CPU to 2600mhz(x2) from 3000mhz. Or, at least, I -was- doing that, before Vista SP1.
Now, no matter what I set, or how I set it, it seems to get reset to 100% If I use Vista's own power scheme settings, I can make it run at 85% max 5% min, and it saves, goes a while, maybe 10 to 15 minutes, then I notice the system is auto-throttling again. I check, and sure enough, it's set back to 100% max, 100%min.
If I use AMD OverDrive, the same thing happens.. I set to 13x multiplier, and drop the voltage a bit. 10-15 minutes later, It shows my "Desired Settings" still, and they have to be re-applied.
Users that have the Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 and/or the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 have been experiencing issues for the past few months with their screen saver failing to turn on as well as any power saving features.

Then tried running it with the hidden administrator ID with the same results.
This seems to be a knowledgable board, so I thought I would present my questions/problems to you all. I ran XP (32bit) With my single 8800gtx fine, and yesterday upgraded to 8800gtx's in SLI, along with the Vista Ultimate x64 upgrade. I unistalled the drivers from the video card, and the newest drivers after I installed the SLI setup. I don't remember the numbers but I tried the newest beta and certified drivers for Vista 64. When I play WoW (Shame on me I know), The game runs great and incredibley fast, but I get crashes when running it in SLI mode and running 2 versions of WoW at the same time (I previously had done this without SLI before with no problems in XP). That was fine with me, I just switched it back to Single GPU mode for WoW, and all was fine, and I just switched it back to single GPU and I can run 2 copies of WoW perfecetly now.
My real problem lies when I try to play Crysis. The game is patched, but when I get to load up the first level, most of the time my screen will go black and say "Monitor Entering Power save Mode," and every once in a while it will start the first level, then hard lock after about 5 seconds. The power save seems to be the main problem. I tried disabling the monitor power save all together, but even with it disabled it still happens. Anyone have any thoughts? I think perhaps its just the drivers, but it's becomming quite frustrating to me, as I've tried the newest betas/normals.
I'm building a new PC for my folks and I'm not sure which version of Vista I should install for them. They do a bit more than just check email. My dad likes his audio apps (iTunes, mixing programs, etc) and likes to tinker a bit with different programs. I've bought them 4GB of RAM because it's so cheap at the moment and my dad wants this to be a PC that will last them for several years to come. My question is, should I put them on Vista 64-bit or 32-bit? I know that the 32-bit version will only see about 3.2GB of the RAM I got, and I don't want to have to reinstall everything for them in the near future. Is Vista 64-bit "there" yet? Or is it still for advanced users only? Should I play it safe I install the 32-bit version even though it may be outdated soon (and not see all the RAM), or will 32-bit be the way forward for a few years yet to come?
View 6 Replies View RelatedReference MS Article ID 555910, dated 3 April, 2007. How TO: Enable the build-in Administrator account in Windows Vista. I would very much appreciate a clarification regarding Administrator Accounts or profiles. I am planning to purchase a new Dell XPS 630 computer with Vista Business in the next month or two. I am trying to become familiar with Vista before I receive the computer. If I understand it correctly, when the first bootup is made with the new computer, a user account is created that has administrator privileges. According to the above referenced article, there is a build-in Administrator account. Also in this article, under the Applies To: Heading, it does mentions only Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Starter. However, I have seen some postings or internet articles mentioning the built-in Administrator account, not clarifying what versions of Vista that it applies to.
Question: When I receive my new Dell computer and complete the initial bootup, the new user account, and final install, will that be the only User Account on the computer with Administrator privileges?
Suddenly tonight my Windows Vista Ultimate OS stated that I had only fourteen days left of my evaluation period.This is crazy, because I bought this full version earlier this year, and I am 100% sure I activated it over the net.When slipping the computer the original disk, after a while I says that upgrade is disabled, and that I have to do a clean install.Are those guy at MS completely gone off the walls?Is there a way I can reactivate it?Does anyone know what might have happened?I can vaguely remember some downloading from a MS site to try out something, and after that the message came low and right on my screen stating "Windows Vista (TM) Evaluation version. Build 6001"I can't do a clean install now!I fought for months to get everything to work.Damned if I go through that again!Of course it is my fault. I should have read the small print (if there was
any?!).But changing a legit version into a evaluation version without any proper
repetitive warnings,is absurd!
Build 19 error. I am getting an error message "Build 19 has stopped working". Does anyone know what this error is and how to resolve it? I have a language program that I purchased and when I try to "Print" a group of lists or flash cards with this program, I am getting this message in a box that says "Microsoft Windows" in the upper left blue area with this message in the white boxed area. It goes on to Say "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programand notify you if a solution is available. "But Windows is not notifying me of any solution. And I can't print and it then closes the program. I contacted company and they recommended I uninstall and reinstall the program which I did and the same issue continues to occur. I have Windows Vista Home Basic so I wonder if there is something in Windows Vista causing this and where can I find a fix.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post as a new member so please forgive me if this is not an appropriate thread. My problem is that I have recently built a new rig with vista 64 HP as the O/S but cant seem to get it to stabilise with 4 Gigs of memory. The system is fine with 2 and 3 Gigs but becomes unstable with 4 Gigs when running process hungry applications such as COD 4. The game will freeze and if I drop out through task manager the screen is then full of graphical glitches.
I have changed the RAM several times and after the system has become unstable I have had it tested and it wasnt corrupted. First try was, OCZ 4 Gig Kit (2x2048). Second try was, Corsair 4 Gig Kit (2x2048). Not sure if one of the Motherboard RAM Module Channels may be at fault as I have had a lot more success with 1 Gig sticks.
I recently ordered 500 Vista desktops and 150 Vista laptops from a vendor preloaded with a RTM edition of Vista Business. When we started loading Office 2007 this week, the Windows Installer stopped four times with errors. Vista gave a message saying we should upgrade to the retail version of Vista (I wish I could send a screenshot). After checking the build level we saw it was build 6000. My team checked some MSDN blogs and saw build 6000 is not viewed as a genuine Vista build. What do I do?! If this is the case, I'm not going to be able to meet my SLA with my Enterprise users.

I've updated the bios to the latest version, and have put all drivers on but Vista keeps crashing. It freezes for no apparent reason. I've been using Vista HP (32) on my 2yr old laptop with no problems (I'm using it to type to you all now), and I'm lost as to what is wrong. I've had a very brief look around and it sounds like another user on here has had a similar problem, but as I've just built the whole system I'm wondering if there's anything I've missed which is causing it to crash/freeze/generally be unresponsive?
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Build 16489. Microsoft has begun testing Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) and intends to ship this release in the second quarter of 2009. Note that there are no new features in SP2; this is a more typical service pack that aggregates previously-released fixes. Here are some screenshots from the first external build of SP2, build 16489.

View 9 Replies View RelatedDays after the leak of build 7022 (32-bit) to public torrent sites, WinFuture.de has posted a screenshot clearly showing a 64-bit Enterprise edition of build 7032. We already know of a build 7034, but this is significant because there have been no screenshots or any other tangible proof of any of the 703x builds. The screenshot shows the following build string: "'6.1.7032.0.winmain.090129-1812," meaning that the build was compiled on January 29, 2009 at 6:12PM. Since it is an interim build, it's not surprising that the screenshot shows the build expiring on July 2, 2009.
Other than the new build number, the screenshot (full-size image) does not show too much. A date is shown in the bottom left in a European format, but all this shows is that the screenshot was taken today. There appears to be a new icon in the taskbar, but it's not clear what it's for. IE8 is still at RC1, which is not surprising. The user has Hibernate set as the default for the power button in the start menu, but this doesn't necessarily mean Microsoft has changed it from Shut Down.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is what happened, i installed 5308 on a fresh clean hard disk that has no previous errors and by all accounts is in a good working order. I ran the install from the DVD drive during boot, then carried out a full new install on to the clean disk, The install process proceded with out error, however the installer finished copying data to the hard drive and started its reboot sequence. at this point my computer fails to boot. Im not talking about corrupt boot sectors im talking about serious issue thats stopping my compter from finishing its POST. i am unable to access the BIOS, i am unable to change the boot order using the built in boot selector program.
The POST sequence gets up to detecting the IDE drives, it then tells me the name and model number of the connected drives and tells me SMART is active and ok, at this point the system fails POST with no error messages. If i disconnect the drive in question the system will post correctly and will boot to my other SATA drives. I have tried new cables, i have tried changing drive between master and slave, and primary and secondery controlers.....
