Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

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

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

    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.

  • Re: Satellite won't start because of the virus

    One of my computer got a virus and it was spent on my Toshiba Satellite laptop by a USB.

    Now when I turn on my laptop, the screen lights up, but remains empty (except the mouse).

    I tried system restore - it did not work. I had three points to restrore - and each of them said that the restoration of the system did not work properly due to a system error.

    I checked also the memory and everything - but I'm not avoiding the recovery of the system (the one where all the files will be deleted) that I desperately need to keep my files.

    What can I do to solve my problem?

    Hello

    I doubt that a virus could cause this problem
    I mean the virus can damage the operating system pre-installed, but the laptop has yet to start.
    The Toshiba recovery disc formats the entire HARD drive, and in this case the virus must be erased from the HARD disk too

    But if you are not able to reinstall the OS and are not able to start using disks bootable like Win XP, Linux or Toshiba Recovery disk so I assumed that this problem could be linked to the issue of the material and not to any viruses on your HARD drive.

    Then try to reinstall the OS and check it out!

  • How to change the settings for help on using Corel Draw 7

    In windows 7. -Pop-up help screen. A real nusance

    whenever I try to use my program corel draw a box windows 7 help and support of pop. How to do that I need help and support, I know the program very well stop

    Just an idea

    What is Windows help & support window suggesting that you download the program hlp old format?

    If so, it indicates that Corel Draw is trying to tell you something with its start-up system [might well be generated by an error condition as Corel Draw 7 is not recognized as compatible Windows 7] and Windows recognizes that it would be necessary to get this old hlp format help system to be able to show you what the app is trying to tell you.

    Allowing Windows to download & install this old help system would be the only way to get rid of the pop-up window.  And then you'd be able to see what Corel Draw was trying to tell you.

  • With the help of Camp of Partition start, but impossible to find all Partitions of Windows

    Hello world

    I am a new user of Fusion 2.06, and I really need your help!

    I installed my WIndows 32-bit Vista under Boot Camp. I had three Windows partitions (one for the system, one for storage of files and one for the storage of games) and I used the disk of Windows Vista for these partitions Manager. If I use boot camp to start the windows, each partition can appear in Windows.  And now I use merge under the Partition Boot Camp to run Windows.  The problem is that I can't find the Windows partition two except the one Windows is installed.

    Can someone give me some advice on how to leave the two partitions of Windows appears in the merge? Thank you very much!

    I am very happy to hear that everything worked!

    I would recommend to not not re-partitioning the hard drive once again, unless you have all data backed up first. The current configuration of the partition is just too unconventional (partition tables GPT/MBR hybrids are problematic in general), so no changes more may be bad unless they are made with a lot of attention.

  • How can I fix Firefox 18 and 19 to take too long to close when the custom settings for history is used?

    Hello, please read entire post before responding, thanks!

    I had 12. Firefox (FF) something and he used with happiness when I was getting a new hard drive and start over, I decided to upgrade to the latest FF of the moment, 18.something...

    After going through the implementation of all the different Add - ons etc... and reset the options/preferences (not cool how you reset all those whenever it updates!) The opening time and closing went from 2 to 4 seconds each to 78 seconds to open and 48 seconds to close. In the last two days, I tried (except reset) and read all the suggestions on here does not.

    So I read up on how to uninstall completely any trace of Firefox so I could do a clean install, which did not work, either: the freshly reinstalled 18 FF. ? program still opened and closed at the same time, and had all my info despite my deleting files/sub-sub-sub-records said to hold this info. I disabled everything in FF, still no improvement, so still once I tried to find info on how to completely remove the FF and still nothing it is right for current programs.

    Today I looked again for the info on how to remove completely the FF, found something new to me and tried this, including the complete registry search and remove anything with the name of firefox, then reinstalled FF 18. ?
    Yet all my favorites and info was there, and when I raised my help he auto-mis updated to 19.0 without my permission, even when I don't like other decisions for me for "my good"(d'où le nom d'écran) not OK! ".

    So I tried the reset function to 19.0 FF and it's just that and the opening and closing time lag had gone, back to 2-4 seconds each, which seemed great!, but no.

    When I went back to set up my options and restarted, FF went back to the lag, so I eventually removed/reset everything and all was well again, so I started putting/setting things back one at a time, that's when I found and verified the problem, the history settings!!!
    

    I repeated this 6 times with the same results:
    The value of history to remember, and everything works well, story custom game lag returns without fail.

    My settings in Custom were:

    Accept and remember everything until I close FF
    Clear history the closure of FF.

    In the "Settings" submenu under the closure of FF clear history:
    All 6 boxes are checked for history and no boxes have been checked for data (all default values)

    I watched the process running in the task manager during startup and shutdown FF with these settings, I found that it was not only FF.exe works but also a plugin - container.exe, both eventually stop after about 48 seconds, the plugin container does not appear to run when the story is set on do not forget all the... (I have an incomplete memory on the container of plugin causing problems of this kind in the past, but I can't remember what or exactly when so much...)

    I also tried to leave the setting of history to remember them all and him restarted and tried to erase everything in the menu Tools and FF unresponsive for about 60 seconds and then seemed fine afterwards.

    So, I conclude that there is a problem in the newer versions with the history of compensation in the background while the browser continues to operate, and the likely culprit is the plugin container(again?)...

    So now to the questions...

    Is it possible to set to Custom history and 19.0 FF remain operational during this process and for FF close in a few seconds, as in FF 12. something with the same parameters of the story?
    If yes how can I configure that?

    If no, what is the last version that will work properly with history to remember until FF is closed and then wipe front of re-opening, without waiting for more than a few seconds for everything to happen as it was in my FF12. ? Version?

    Also, How do I remove ALL TRACES of Firefox 18.? and up so that I can do a clean install if I need to, as I said everything that is here or linked to from here up to today, 2/21/2013, was not sufficient.
    

    Thanks for your time...

    (See attached image) That's what worked for me to 19.0 Firefox, and I was able to verify that cookies have been deleted before restart, thanks again for your timely assistance.

    A similar site with videos in the background is www.uship.com, we try to create a site on the similar theme. I just want to know if what I bought can be used in this way without breaking any agreement or have copyright problems. On the forums does anyone know the answer to that? Thank you

    If you are just using it as a background element in your Web site I see really no reason why you can't.
