Vista Product Key Probldems

Last week I tried to get some drivers off the Windows Vista Home Basic 32
from the from my desktop and installing them on my LapTop that came with
pre-installed, without thinking I regestered the computer, now MS wont accept
the code that came with the laptop, is there anything but buy a new code, I
became totally disabled after a freak accident in 2006 so I dont have much
money to spending on trying to buy a new code

After backing up any important data, use the Recovery method provided
by the laptop's manufacturer to restore the correct OS and Product Key
to the laptop.

Hi Brian

As long as the product key number is installed on only one computer
you will just have to do a phone activation. This tutorial will show yo

Brink, was there some reason you deleted my response?? I didn't post
anything illegal or immoral :cry:

if these folks don't know about vista keyfinders like the jellybean,
what's the harm posting in a thread when it is NOT ILLEGAL to use or
download.

if you didn't like my response, you could have at least sent me a pm
and advised why.........

Hi Nobscot

Your post is here. :geek:

The first few posts a new member posts is put into a temporary holdin
area for approval. It may have taken a bit longer than usual for one u
moderators to approve it with the holidays and all, sorry. I wasn'
up as late last night as usual either. It was a busy day. Do no
worry, we would not delete a post for something like that

Hope you have a great holiday
