  • Question

    • I posted this question earlier and got the response below. The problem is I can't get to the START button. When Vista starts it gets to preparing the desktop and then locks out without going to START. I tried to run the file from the cmd line from the startup disk but no luck. How do I get to the phone activation number???

      I had a pwr surge take out my motherboard. I replaced and tried to access my Vista Home Premium OS. After I downloaded a startup cd, I was able to "repair" the OS and got to preparing the desktop when I received an activation screen and then the above error msg. I had no opertunity to enter my product key to validate. How do I get the system to activate as a valid copy?

      Try this, and take the phone Option, and hold on for a real person to explain to:

       

      http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/quick-start/activation-faq.aspx

        Activation FAQs at above link.

       

      1. Click Start, and in the Search box type slui.exe 4

      2. Press ENTER on your Keyboard

      3. Select your Country.

      4. Take the Phone Activation option, and hold on for a real person. mm

       

        If locked out except for 3 choices, use the reduced functionality option to get into Windows to do the above Activation.

  • Hello hrr810,


      If you do not have access to the Start button: Reboot and login to Vista, a dialog window will come up. In that window, click the option "Access computer with reduced functionality" (or whatever option that opens a Browser). Once you do that, Internet Explorer or Firefox browser will open. In the address bar type c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe press enter, a new window will come up, type: slui 4 and hit enter and follow steps to Activate over the Phone.

    To reenter your Product Key, fillow the above steps but type: slui 3 instead.

    Thank you,
    Darin MS

  • Darin,

    Thanks for the help. I still can't even get to the "access computer with reduced fuctionality." Once I get to preparing desktop, it starts the activation screen but will not accept any options. i get various error msgs for RUNDLL32.EXE and NEWDEV.EXE (new video ). What I can get to is the task manager and only about half of the services are running. I tried running the windows vista x64 recovery disk again  and it finds the OS and lists it as (recovered) but I still only get so far when I try to activate. Is there a way to slui.exe from the task manager???
