Accidentally deleted the folder Microsoft Games (VISTA Home Basic)
My mother had problems with solitaire and other games included with his eMachines desktop computer in the Microsoft Games folder. His machine is running Vista Home Basic. I tried to fix it by copying it in the folder Microsoft Games laptop (Vista Home Premium) wife. However after that I copied on games, when I tried to launch the game, I got an error message that the games would not be on this version of Windows Vista. Where can I get copies of these games that will run on Windows Vista Home Basic? All software has been preloaded on the machine when she bought (not Windows discks, etc.). These were included with the machine.
Thank you
Steve

Where is the folder Prefetch in Vista Home Basic?
I just tried on TuneUp Utilities 2012.I have 1 problem left supposibly. He told me that some program or something deletes files in my Prefetch folder and I would have a faster start-up if it were to cease. Everything seems to be mostly automated except this perticular problem. I don't know where is the Prefetch folder or what to do to stop everything that removes the information. Is there a setting that is incorrect, or is there a download that can solve this problem?
Hello
Whenever you turn on your computer, Windows guard track of the way your computer starts and which programs you usually open. Windows saves this information in a number of small files in the prefetch folder. The next time you turn on your computer, Windows refers to these files to help speed up the boot process.
The prefetch folder is a subfolder of the Windows system folder. The prefetch folder is independent now, and there is no need to remove or to empty its contents. If you empty the folder, Windows and your programs will take longer to open the next time you turn on your computer.
I suggest you try to perform the clean boot and check if it helps:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135NOTE: When you are finished troubleshooting, make sure that you reset the computer in start mode normal such as suggested in step 7 of the above article.
It will be useful.

If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery
If the user accesses the server accidentally deleted the folder how recovery
Hi AmjadPasha,
If you are referring to a local file, you can check the trash.
If you are referring to a network share, then there is very little that can be done.
You can try using recovery software/services of third parties to retrieve the file.
You can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party software.
Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
Hope this information is useful.

Accidentally deleted the folder 'Contacts' of the user and will not restore with the feature
Oops. I deleted the Contacts of the user (C:\Users\xxxxx\Contacts ) in Win7 x 64 folder and now I can't restore the functionality of the manipulation of the contacts in this folder.
Is it possible to restore the folder and functionality without having to reinstall windows?
Note: I have no system restore power because space is limited on a SSD :(

Hearts now appears only in black and white, with a small width (so the cards appear too high, etc.), the statistical record is back to zero and base has vertical stripes. I tried reinstall of Vista drive but cannot find an option to reinstall only the game of hearts - complete reinstallation of Vista seems too drastic! Component of Vista games don't show up on the menu of the control panel remove program so can't try to fix.
Try a new user accoount.
Try the sfc scan. Click Start > type cmd > right click and run as admin > type sfc/scannow > press on enter > restart after it's over. -

I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
