Use 'Virtual CD'.. This helps u with that ;-)\n\n And also a few software (like games), need the original cd inside for them to run. This also helps in faking that and makes the S/W work without the C.D/D.V.D

Microsoft windows defender is useless - gods know why they call it defender - all it does is give you a force scene of security - get it of your computer - free up a bit more of your hard drive or find a better program, there are not many out there that are this bad.

Well, you have the new Beta Windows Defender, if you are not anti-Microsoft or typically the top two I believe are Ad-Aware Se Plus from LavaSoft or Spybot Search and Destroy.

First of all installing an OS without a proper purchase is called "Illegal". Secondly, chances are that whoever "built" your machine used a personal copy of the OS. Back in the good old days this was fine and dandy. However, Windows now implements two security measures to ensure you are running a legitimate copy - 1. The normal installation key 2. Windows Activation. You do also mention this is a laptop - well more interesting news for laptop specific installations. An "OEM" Windows installation is a bit different when installing than a typical desktop rig. The blank screen might be as simple as the disc used for the install contained corrupt data - or - as complex as you trying to "hack" your laptop in a wrong installation sequence. Installations on laptops are very specific so pay attention - obviously your buddy wasn't. My advice to you - go out and spend the $100 for a true Windrows disc and install it using the following sequence.\n\n1. When you boot hold down F10 or F12 to get into BIOS.\n2. Make sure you boot sequence has the first boot device set to CD ROM\n3. Load the disc.\n4. Don't let anybody grab your Windows disc.\n\n--> Yea we all have to pay once in a while - this is hardly a loss considering your probably going to download the universe anyway. We ALL pay our dues. Good Luck.

Use Windows UPdate and it will be an optional software installation.

Call microsoft, I know they are very concerned about piracy so you may have a difficult time with this, my first response would be to call microsoft and ask what they suggest.

You just need validate windows when downloading/installing software no critical considered no essencial! But really the player might be included. Suppose player 9,10 you dont need to! But when you have some dificult question not satisfatory answered here you can always go to a microsoft forun  Hope be usefull.

Windows Genuine Tools is used to Authenticate the copy of Windows your are using is not pirated one. If you are using Legit copy of Windows you should contact Microsoft tech support.

It will always ask you for a key every time you try to install it. If you have the original software, the cd sleeve should have the serial. Microsoft does offer some phone activation options as well.

you can download the vista beta from microsoft's website.  this requires a FAT net connection, and a DVD burner.  all the instructions you need are at the microsoft website.

You want to use it without a license? David Swofford won't be too happy about it. \nBesides, these beta versions are still not debugged.
