Windows support number? toll free please

Mr. Johanssen · 05-19-2008, 12:56 AM

Does anyone know of a toll free windows support number? My Vista disc is damaged and won't install, so i need to speak with them on buying or acquiring a new install disc.

I looked at their site and mainly get pay by minute options.
I would also use a chat line to resolve the problem, if you've got a URL that'd work.

If your disk is damaged then just download one from a torrent site! Thats not illegal. The only thing that is illegal is if the version has been tampered with. Just find a clean copy online and download it and use your existing key. It should work.

Or borrow the same version of XP a friend.

I am fairly sure he wanted vista and not xp. Plus most of his hardware prob doesnt even have drivers for vista. Downgrading to old xp will cause even more problems.

If you are with in your 30 day return period you can call them and exchange it, you need their customer service number.

Oh and also, Google is probably the best way to look this up just so you know, took me about 5 seconds
