• Reinstall Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

  Not good with computers... need help... very much appreciated... I ran into the horrible black screen problem... I can't start in safe mode, no problem, but can only access via the normal and Task Manager normal mode still doesn't work well... internet and other programs will not work... I tried many options and now looking to do a reinstall of Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

  Question is how can I do reinstall without deleting all my personal files? Is this possible? If Yes, how should I do it... as very detailed information is appreciated as I'm not tech savy... Also, if it is not possible, what is your recommendation to save my files before reinstalling? External hard drive?

  I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

  A resettlement removes all the info.

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

  This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

  I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

  Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

  Help, please.

  «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

  A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

  There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

  Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

  Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  Resettlement took my old Windows subfolder and placed in another directory on the operating system reinstalled.  I can see why he does it, but honestly, it's a royal pain in the neck to find out what to do with the new directory, I ended up just removing all together.  So I ask you, should I reinstall or not to solve this problem with 'open with...

• My turns Windows Vista Home off when I close the lid and custom back on unless I restart my computer wireless

  I have a Toshiba laptop Windows Vista Home. Recently, every time I close my laptop lid, and try to turn it on a few minutes later, the wireless devices were disabled. When I try to reactivate it from ConfigFree on wireless network connection to activate, it said everything was active except for wireless devices. The only way I can turn it back on is by restarting my computer. It only started happening recently and for first of all, I would stay on. No idea what's wrong?

  Maybe this can help.

  Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment (http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html ).

  Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).

  There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.

• After you have reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-Bit with Service Pack 2. Windows recognizes only 958 MB 2G of Ram. The processor is AMD Turion 64 X 2 1.80 GHz 32 bit

  Hello
  I have a hp Pavilion notebook PC with a new motherboard.  After you have installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I noticed that Windows only recognizes 958 MB 2 GB of RAM installed.  No one knows why this is happening and how can I fix or troubleshout the problem?
  Thank you, PD777

  Hello

  How is your memory configured? that is, what is 2 x 1 GB modules or module 1 x 2 GB. If the former I would check the physical installation of the modules on the MB memory.

  Vista 32 bit should see up to 3 GB, I doubt that it is Vista the cause.

  Another thought, are your shared graphics? in some BIOS, it is possible to ask the system to use a fixed amount of RAM the GUI system, this memory will not be included in the complete system.

Can u pls tell me that the recovery disk for xp pro os with centrino processor compatible with the system which works on the basis of processor duo laptop?

  OEM and retail licenses:

  If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Installation of XP instead of Vista:

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

• Satellite A80 135 impossible to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disk

  Hello

  Ive got a laptop 2005 Satellite a80-135 that worked very well until I tried to format the HDD after a performance of Ram boost operation (kingston 1 gb Ram module).

  Just after that, the computer started showing software problems and finally crashed;
  So I decided to reinstall the entire operating system yet. and here, I found the problem I really hope you can help me

  The thing is that I can't format my hard drive to my cd player (with recovery CD in) when the machine is restarted.
  In theory, start the Panel menu should appear after the computer reboot with the C key simountaneously key but nothing happens.

  Thanks in advance
  concerning
  jozze

  Hello

  Simply, the C button the STRANGE start.
  You can also try to press F12 after the laptop has been powered.
  Then the start menu should appear on the screen and then you could choose the ODD (optical disc) in order to boot from the CD.

  If this is not possible, the question is perhaps related to WEIRD malfunction or recovery disk.
  Maybe the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc properly and so the laptop can not boot from the disc.
  You can try to copy the recovery CD using another computer and might try to start using the copied CD.
  If it does not the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.
