    Hi. 

    First of all wanted to say thank you for all your attention you guys giving to us. Here is my "help request".

    I had my HP dv6833us laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium for about 4 years. Recently I had one of these black days, when everything stopped working. Couldn't use computer for more than 20 seconds. So, I decided to run a recovery process. However, I couldn't get anywhere from recovery disc (was located on D: partition). F11 (System Recovery) didn't respond, so I decided to reinstall Vista from fresh.

    After I reinstalled it and wanted to activate, Vista didn't want to accept 3rd symbol on the 4th group from the code located on the label.

    I have made a photo of the label (if you would like me to send it) and I can see that it's a letter "A", but new Vista doesn't let me even type it, giving me an error message "Symbol not acceptable" (or something like that. Don't remember exact answer).

    I followed the advice and ran the Diag Tool. Here is my report. And want to say that Windows Product Key and Windows Product ID do not match with ones I have on my label.

    Please help

    Just to update my situation.

    Microsoft couldn't help me because the serial number for the HP computers can be found only in HP database. After my phone call to HP, I found out that if I was trying to install RETAIL version (not HP version), then the serial number I was trying to use are not working, because of non-compatibility....Something like that.

    However, for 14 dollars I can get recovery disc from HP with all drivers and which will recover my computer to factory settings.

    Will see, if it will help. Thanks Noel for you  help. 

    Wish you all the best.

    Regards

    Alexander

    The Product Key in use here is the Default Key for Vista Home Premium.
    For what version and edition of Windows is your computer licensed, according to the COA sticker on the case?
     
    Windows Product Keys have a range of ‘acceptable’ characters – they EXCLUDE the following characters,...
    EUIOASLZN
    10
    (as you can see, the ‘A’ is one of them!)
     
    You should try reading the Key from your COA sticker using a magnifying glass, and a bright light – or another pair of eyes :)
     
    Once you have got the Key right, you may need to activate by phone, rather than over the internet.

    Thanks for fast response. The label is already faded a lot, and barely can be seen, but I know that it was Vista 32 bit Home Premium.

    That's exactly what I am doing now. Using magnifying glass, bright light, made high def photo and sent to my friends with request to send me letters they can see. Nothing helps so far. I thought that Validation tool uncovered some secret what letters I can't recognize.

    Another detail. I don't have an option to activate by phone. I have "Activate Online Now" and "Ask Me later" options. 

    Any other help beside bright light and magnifying glass? Or this is my only solution? 

    Can I submit my COA label photo to some expert who can advise me some ideas for hard to read letters?

    The only two places in the world where your Key exists (at least in theory) are on that sticker, and inside MS’s database, where it cannot be got at. It’s not until you install it into Windows that it becomes a real piece of data, that can be manipulated and used. The Manufacturer’s installation disks, and Recovery media use a different Key entirely, which relies on data in their install, and the hardware to be able to self-activate. The COA Key is there in case that process breaks down, and to give you proof of license.
     
    No-one is ‘qualified’ to read the Key better than the owner – but you may be able to get some help from the Activation people, if you ask nicely :)
     
     
    telephone activation.
    Click on the Start button
    in the Search box, type
    SLUI 4
    and hit the Enter key
    follow the instructions - but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you.

    You’re welcome.
    You’ll need to back up your data to external media before starting the Recovery process, and make a note of any software Keys you need..
     
    Good luck with the reinstall.
