• I would like to re - install Windows Vista, but my drive does not all service packs. Download Windows Vista with service pack already on it?

  so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,

  but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?

  Hello yaleblor,

  You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

  Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.

  Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.

  You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm

  After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.

• Install Windows 7 on my old hard driver will remove all existing files from my Windows Vista install?

  OEM of Vista to Windows 7 OEM

  I am trying to build a new office, but I reuse my hard drive from my old build considering that 64 bit OEM vista installed I know it won't work with the new construction, but my question is, installation of windows 7 delete all existing files or replace only vista?

• Start "All programs" menu empty file (Windows Vista)

  All my programs on my menu start "all programs" folder disappeared. There are a few but those I recently downloaded. Accessories is not yet there. I searched all cases online to find the authors response to repopulate my all programs, but without success.

  I have restarted my computer several times. I did an analysis of checker (SFC) to file system. I ran a registry by Uniblue Fixer; I tried antivirus scans and analyses ad-aware; nothing seems to work. I still have all my programs and have lost but they are simply not easy access and I really want to take the time to build my own folder "all programs." I really want my old one back. But how?

  And P.S. I can't just restore because I never ran a backup before, so there is nothing to restore.

  Thank you!!!

  1.) open the path below, replace the {username} with your own login
  Start\program C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
  2.) look if there is nothing there. If there is not something, it means it is initially empty. Meaning, it could have been deleted accidentally away.

  Recovery of most of them back
  1.) go to the path below, with a different name as {username} by default or user
  Start\program C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
  2.) copy them through your way with your {username} don't forget not to vote also useful for others and to accept the proposed response, if it is relevant build it KB in this Forum.

  This problem?

  Thank you

  Hi again,

  If it doesn't appear on your printer and not on your PC, right?  My bad... I'm in the driver settings.  Try holding down the symbol # and 3 at the same time on your printer.  This should reset the printer.  If this does not work then press the symbol # and 6 at the same time.

  Or

  To restore the default settings

  1.

  Press Setup.

  2.

  Press to select Tools, and then press OK.

  3.

  Press to select Restore Factory Defaults, then press OK.

  The default settings are restored.

• Need of Windows Vista on Satellite M30X Toshiba power management tools

  Hi all

  recently switched to Windows Vista with my Satellite M30X.
  Unfortunately I can't manage my power options, because Windows doesn't let me do for the original use Toshiba machine tools to the place, but those with my laptop, I received are not compatible with Vista.
  There are no files available in this category on the download from Toshiba site.

  Do you have any ideas where to get these tools? Toshiba, or something different, but still compatible with Toshiba and Vista?
  Or at least how do to enable advanced power management options in Windows?

  Thank you very much for all the advice!
  Martin

  Hello

  Toshiba Power saver for Vista is not out for Satellite M30X, and it seems that you use clean Vista power options.
  But to be honest, clean Vista power options aren't bad and can be configured easily.
