ALSO, now my computer won't let me access the normal desktop because it says that I need a Vista activation key. I can't find one in the house anywhere. Any idea of where I could get one free online?

Anyone that solves any of the problems listed in this topic or the topic I posted above will get 100 points.

MODNOTE: No illegal advice in this topic.

I don't know how to get xp back. It was on my computer and my brother just randomly installed a vista disk on MY computer thinking that it would somehow make World of Warcraft better. Little brothers.

Or if you have 2 HDD's he could have just installed it on the other 1 and told it too bot from their  if you do when you restart your PC it should say Boot Menu F12 (normally yours could be different)  go to HDD then go through them if windows doesn't start and it goes Disk boot failure there's no XP their

if not beak out the Mic and muck around with the voice control in vista till you can get your bro

also be careful with the activation keys they are usually faked

Sorry about your computer problems, I've had too many to count, there not fun.

To the OP -

As others have said you have a pirated version of Vista, which is now asking for a product key (usually asks for it after 30 days).

You can either purchase a copy of Vista, a copy of the same type is currently installed, OR:-

Backup important files to a portable storage device or some DVDs.

You will then have to use the original disk which came with your computer, put it in, follow the instructions on-screen after rebooting.

The other problems you were facing were most probably hardware problems, you would need to go to the manufacturers sites and download the latests updates/drivers.
