    Vista WPD FileSystem Driver problem

    It has gone now mate, but I dont really know how I got rid of it. I think it was because I added the reader on, not had it in the machine when I installed the OS. I have since formatted the disk, and the problem no longer exists. I did get the 8-in-1 driver from Lian-Li. Shunts...

    2 isp's on one bt line?

    As I understand it, there are some countries that allow, multiple ADSL ISP's on one line. Here I'm told that a Service provider lock is a function implimented by the regulator and see no reason to lift this situation. I am also led to believe that should the lock not be in force then you...

    The Official OcUK Vista Licencing Questions FAQ Thread

    I'm not too sure on this, if you Ghost it back to the exact same hardware, then I'd guess that it would still work, as long as the software was activated before the Ghosting. I'm not going to say a definate no, because at this stage I don't know, but because the hardware has not changed then...

    The Official OcUK Vista Licencing Questions FAQ Thread

    They determine the hardware installed from a set of keys that are sent to the activation server when you activate the product. In Windows XP more than three changes of hardware devices at once or in a set period would force an activation. The new hardware key set would then be sent to...

    The Official OcUK Vista Licencing Questions FAQ Thread

    Yes No - not the motherboard as Microsoft determine that a Motherboard AND its associated components make the machine a new system. If I recall the Price of Vista Retail is almost double that of Vista OEM, therefore if you plan on more than 2x motherboards in its lifetime then get the...

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/11/03/ms_vista_climb-down/ I think Microsoft had done a climb-down on Upgrading other hardware components other than the motherboard, if you change the motherboard for a different specification one, then you might get problems, as for slamming in more RAM...

    Thanks Burnsy, I read it from the OEM site, and this is what I took it to be, I also looked at the Technet System Builder forums, and there is a chap on there who says he builds specialist machines, and that motherboards go discontinued, after say 8 months if he replaced the motherboard under...

    You dont have to buy any additional Hardware anymore, have a look at my post above: You used to have to buy non-perhiperal hardware but that is no longer required, as vista will come in a Break-the-seal box, your supplier will have to sell it to you in that box, otherwise they would be in...

    The Official OcUK Vista Licencing Questions FAQ Thread

    That is exactly what should happen (not good imo), you could do in that case is attempt a telephone activation and speak to an activation agent, they my have rules that determine that if you have changed the Motherboard so soon after original activation then you my be able to re-activate, from...
