I have a Toshiba Laptop, that had windows xp... Toshiba sent to me a Windows vista upgrade, and I have installed it on the laptop...
Now, I tried to install this vista upgrade in my desktop (a modern pc), and, as people said in this forum to me, it worked... I haven't put a serial, and if it works i will buy...But now I see that I just can iniciate the OS with the vista DVD in the DVD Drive... Also, I tryed to install my video card (a direct x compatible) and now when I try to enter windows media center, it shows a blue screen (death screen)... I don't know if I need another video drivers...
DO you think this is because the DVD was made to a TOSHIBA laptop, or is it all the same??
How can I resolve it?

The video card is, of course, direct x compatible... I mean it is direct x 10 compatible

The DVD is a clean install of windows vista... It don't depend of windows xp... I think it is a normal windows vista dvd, because there are no logos of toshiba in the setup...
I installed it, but i can't iniciate the pc without the DVD in the DVD reader... that.s the major problem, how can I resolve it?

Did you do try doing a clean install or did you upgrade Xp? If you do a clean install don't enter the Key, and after it finishes it will ask for your key. Then you must not enter the key, it will tell you that you have thirty days to activate, then go and do the install once more and it will ask for the key this time put the key in, and you will have vista. You have to download drivers from the manufactors website for Vista. Thats what is happening now, go to Toshiba's website and get your vista drivers.

Sounds to me like you're using one of the earlier releases of Vista. They had a lot of issues in the driver department.
I'd recommend using a legitimate copy of Vista. Just because you didn't use the serial key doesn't mean they'll take it back.
