Back to bussiness Vista XP Professional

When I bought my laptop a few years ago, even if it came with Vista Business license, it gave me the option of using XP Professional.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Satellite Pro A300: How do I go back to XP, Vista Business

    I saw absolutely no instruction on how to do it. In other words, how downgrade to XP?
    The A300 came with recovery disc 1 and 2 (who say "Windows XP Professional").

    If I boot from disk 1, I get two options:

    b. computer to recover in "out of area" State.
    or
    b. erase everything on the hard drive.

    There is no possibility to change OS to winXP. What to do (b) before I can go back to XP?

    It should be easy to do. A few simple steps would be great.

    Thank you

    If the recovery disc says "Windows XP", then all you need to do is the boot CD and choose "out of the box. This will wipe the HARD drive and install XP.

    Remember that this will wipe Vista. If you want to go back to Vista, you must create Vista recovery discs first. Should be a "Create a Recovery disk" icon on the desktop under Vista.

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 with original Vista. Sometimes, I have some problems with the display (I have the latest drivers).
    The monitor turns off (not as usual but it is gray instead of black) applications flow normally (I hear the music of film, this) but I can't get back into windows.

    When I push button hibernation and I try to go back to windows, I see the blue screen then the computer resets.

    It happens very often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.

    I don't think that the temperature is too high because I think it's cool. How to fix this?
    Maybe some graphics settings or new BIOS?

    Please help me. I can't stand it!

  • APC Battery Back for Windows Vista Business

    I've updated the UPS battery APC back up software with the suggested program of Vista. But I have a question of power even with a new and work APC UPS. When my power goes out the PC everything stops. When I used it on XP the software would stop and disable the OS for me. Is there a way to stop the Vista power Plan, it is like I have a battery for a laptop, but it is a desktop machine?

    There is no way to disable Power Options.  If it offers an option to on your PC laptop I suggest you use the same settings as for the PC.  Personally, I use optimum performance because I do not use the battery that much (and it suggests to you since you have a PC where there is no battery).  Power options does not control the passage of the CA to the notebook battery when power is lost - who is buried in some system files that I don't know how to access (and it probably cannot be changed even with a registry tweak because he was such a natural operation).

    I suggest that you review the software you have installed (and installation procedures - it can be rules about how and when to install the software and when connect the unit) again - and also double making sure this is the right software for your version of Vista (for example, it can have different options for 32-bit and 64-bit, etc.).

    I suggest you go to the technical support for help, because I don't think that it is a problem of Vista http://nam-en.apc.com/cgi-bin/nam_en.cfg/php/enduser/acct_login.php?myq_ilp.php&ISOCountryCode=us (you may need to create a new user account if you have never been there before).  You can also chat with a support agent: http://www.apc.com/support/chat.cfm.

    APC has a forum like this also but adapted to the issues and APC products.  You will get probably more help, because the participants are more familiar with the products, software, and related problems.  Here is the link: http://www.apc-forums.com/index.jspa.

    I hope this helps.

  • Need help to recover files that I backed up in Vista, now that I again installed W7

    I had Vista Ultimate. I bought W7 home pro upgrade. (ultimate has always been more than I needed)

    I backed up the external hard disk Vista computer (I think that I have backed up the entire computer, not just the files = WindowsImageBackup)
    then I tried to install the upgrade. (He said I owed a complete new installation, because I was leaving Ultimate pro)
    I allowed it.
    NOW, I can not access the backup I had Vista.
    I need to reinstall Vista from the backup, then JUST save FILES... then reinstall the new W-7?
    or can I just access the files I need?

    You may need to restore the full backup PC you created in Windows Vista, then make a Windows easy transfer to save your settings and personal files:

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Before you do, try attaching the backup of the computer as a virtual hard disk image and copy your personal files:

    First of all, connect the external hard drive where you have the. Disk file hard stored virtual or backup your installation of Windows 7, then turn it on. I use an external USB hard drive.

    Click Start, right-click computer and click on manage

    In computer management, expand storage , and then click disk management

    You should see your external hard drive listed. Click on the Action menu, and then click Attach VHD

    Clear the read-only check box, and then click Browse

    Browse the external hard drive, open the WindowsImageBackup folder where Backup and Restore stores the system image. Open the desired image you want to copy the files.

    Open the folder with the name of backup you should also see the date in the name of the backup

    Select the .vhd file bearing the name of digital alpha, and then click Open

    Click OK

    Windows 7 now detects the VHD file as a hard disk volume.

    Once the VHD file is initialized, it will assign a volume name, and you can browse it like any normal hard drive you have installed or connected to your computer. In the screenshot above, I'm full navigation of the hard drive of a computer Windows Vista Edition virtual file, you can see the folders normally found at the root of the drive as users, Windows, program files folders.

    When you are finished using the VHD file, simply click the eject button in the notification area and eject the virtual disk file external listed.
