[vista license will expire in 6 days?]

hm uninstalling sp1 seemed to do the trick, thanks

should i be able to install the RTM version without getting the same problem?

[vista license will expire in 6 days?]

ohhhh

thanks, i'll try that

do you know if there's a way to see if it works or not?

i only get the tool tip pop up once a day

and i'd rather not have to wait for it

[...]edit: iirc, i didnt have to enter a key when i reinstalled

That is the problem. When you do a clean install, you MUST put in a key that matches the Vista version you want to install. Good luck!

i dont recall that but how come it would just start telling me that my license is about to expire now

its been quite a while since i got this computer

[vista license will expire in 6 days?]

it was preinstalled

its home premium updated to sp1

i would have called dell by now, but im not too fond with dealing with customer service

edit: iirc, i didnt have to enter a key when i reinstalled

[vista license will expire in 6 days?]

oh thanks, i'll try that

i didn't know where to find my product key so i dled a keyfinder and it's completely wrong

does anyone know whether to check if it's actually activated though?

because i only get the pop up once a day usually around 2 am

[vista license will expire in 6 days?]

i keep getting a tool tip pop up

apparently my vista license will expire in 6 days and its telling me i have to backup all my data and install another copy of vista

why is this? i bought this dell inspiron 1520 around the end of august

if i go to control panel -> system, it says my vista is activated and everything so i dunno what to do

when i first got this laptop, i did a clean install following one of the guides on the notebookreview forums, could that be the issue?

[internet cuts off after a certain time]

ah...i see

i will try that thanks

[internet cuts off after a certain time]

not yet, im still trying to convert the second router to a switch

[internet cuts off after a certain time]

Maintenance? =\

What is the explaination for being partially connected then?

[internet cuts off after a certain time]

Im on Verizon FiOS and connected by wire. However, the connection is going through two routers so that's where the problem may be? I've been trying to turn the second router into a switch but apparently i need a crossover cable.

[internet cuts off after a certain time]

ok so every night after about 1:27 my internet cuts off, but not completely

things that still work are things like steam, trillian(if i was previously already connected), ventrillo(if i was already connected), etc

things that dont work is mostly everything else such as browsing and bittorrent

i have no idea what's going on

thanks for any help

[multiple routers and forwarding ports]

oh, i will try that

well, i have my connection going into a wireless router downstairs and then another router connected to the wireless one upstairs so i don't have to run multiple cables

[multiple routers and forwarding ports]

is there anything special i have to do to forward ports through two routers?

i have forwarded them normally on both routers but uTorrent still says they aren't

thanks for any help

[help me upgrade!]

woo been a while since i've been here

well christmas time is coming up and this is an oppurtunity for me to upgrade my computer

im planning on getting new processor, motherboard, ram, and possibly video card

as for the components....that's what i need help with

i've read alot on opterons and how you can OC them up to FX speeds so i'm planning on opteron cpu

but 146 or 148 (or 144?)

so i need suggestions on the opteron delima, good OC ram (1 gig), good heatsink/fan for OC

also, i've rear reports of DFI mobos being picky about certain components such as ram so i need to take that into consideration

also, i don't want to spend too much on the memory (<100ish) and heatsink/fan (<50ish)

currently:

motherboard: DFI lanparty ultra-D

CPU: opteron 148 venus

memory: ???

heatsink/fan: ???

thank you

[long boot time]

i found a temporary solution

i disabled my dvd rom drive

ive never had any problems with it before

kind of weird seeing as how i havent updated the drivers for it or anything

so how can i get my dvd rom back without the long boot times

[long boot time]

well i reinstalled windows like 2 months ago and it was all going fine but now im getting reallly long bootup times

its just the part where you get the boot up screen with the bar going across the botton

it used to pass by like 15 times but now i find it passing 50+ times!

its driving me crazy

i tried reinstalling drivers and such, i ran bootvis and got rid of one of the things that was causing it but i cant seem to get wid of the other

it is like a "redbook" driver or something

thanks for any help

[how to set default action for folders?]

i knew in regedit but im not familiar with the abreviated form

thanks

[how to set default action for folders?]

what exactly is HKR?

im kind of confused

[how to set default action for folders?]

somehow, whenever i double click on a folder, it opens a cmd shell window to that folder instead of opening the folder itself

how would i change it back to the way it was
