Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / May 2008Problems with Vista Business registration number
Hi! I bouught my computer at the store about 3 months ago and it was all fine until it had a little problem. It had a Windows Vista Basic program and the problem was a hardrive one. I took it to the computer repairman to fix the problem so everything would be ok. But once it came back it came with a Windows XP program. I was gonna buy the Windows Vista again but I called my computer technician and he told me to take it there because not only it didn't had Windows Vista but it couldn't access the internet, not even with an Ethernet. I took it to the repairman once again and when I picked up my computer it had Windows Vista Business. Everything was fine until today when I access my computer and it says that 'The Windows Vista Ultimete product key you typed is invalid for activation'! Also it says that my computer is a Dell when it clearly is an Acer (although it has intel premium Dual-core inside) What can I do? You'll need to acquire the Acer recovery disc and reinstall the Windows Vista operating system your Acer computer originally came with.

Hi, I hope you reported this repair person to your local better business bureau as he has violated several laws regarding OS licensing. He didn't repair anything. He first installed XP without providing a license, then install Vista Business (obviously a stolen Dell OEM copy) without providing a license. He fixed nothing and never addressed the actual problem. You need, as Carey has mentioned, your original licensed OS installed with the necessary proprietary driver support for the installed hardware.
