I am preparing to reinstall Windows vista. But, the product key on the back of my laptop has faded.
I used Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to decrypt the key in the windows registry. But, the key seems to be different from the one (the legible characters) on the sticker. It is probably the “generic product key”, which won’t work for the activation after re-installation.
I haven’t formatted my computer, as yet. So, I still have a running, activated and genuine version of Vista.
Now, how can I recover my product key?

I have a hp pavillion laptop about 2 1/2 years old. using vista home premium. I would like to return it to out of the box condition but what are my options? what is the diff between these two options? and also any help with tips while doing this please. thank you!I should add that I do know what the discs do but not sure about the partion. Will it delete programs added after factory? return it to factory settings with crapware or only the os???? The reason im doing this is just to have fresh start. something new. I havent had really any problems or anything.I did buy a recovery disc when i bought the comp from best buy. They made one for me.I thought a partion only restores short term, like before an update download and not to out of box factory condition. help

I have a genuine copy of Microsoft Office Small Business 2007. I'm trying to, legally, put it onto a second laptop but I can't because it's saying some files are corrupted or missing.
Any ideas how to get to an online version that I can then just add the valid product key to, or how to get a replacement disc?

Alright one day my friend was on my Facebook account on my laptop I forgot to logout of my account. He started talking randomly to my friends online(Facebook chat). I found out later that he was talking to several of my friends online. Now he didn't say anything bad none that i know of. But, I have sent messages to all my friends that he has talked to explaining to them that it wasn't me who they were talking to it was my friend. But so far none of my friends had sent me a message back saying ok i gotcha or anyhing like that. What should I do? Like how do I explain to them that it wasn't me? I have been in these situations where I explained that I wasn't the guy u were talking to but not this huge before. Please Help!

How come whenever i'm typing something in a forum, if the the text goes below a certain point the scroll bar automatically jumps up and keeps jumping up after every letter I type? It seems like this only happens on my laptop, because it doesn't do it on my desktop or my brother's laptop. Any idea what's going on?
