can I recover my old data in windows vista
I instaled a driver restore cd & sudnly pc restart is reinstaled my windows vista & I lost my data all now I can recover my data if I have no bakup
Hi hamitkhurana
There is no way for help us to you, if you did a system recovery using the recovery media thinking that it was a driver CD and now your data has disappeared, we cannot help you. Matt is correct because you should contact the manufacture of your computer for information on this subject. They will be too not be able to recover your data. Our recommendation to their contact is for information about the CD of 'Driver' against the recovery CD.
I'm sorry, you've lost your data, but there is nothing that this Forum you can do for. May I suggest in future create you backups of your data on DVD or disc, hard DRIVE or a backup Online Service.
We try to 'no' push you aside. If the recovery of disk has been run and your data are now gone, we have no way to recover your data. Where was originally your data? If your data is 7 years old, you must have had it on another backup or system support that Vista was only for 2 years. Did you transfer data from an old system and not to make a backup?

Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?
Original title: windows 8.
Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!
My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?
I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?
If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.

No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.
The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
What is OEM software? :

How can I recover my old data settings document files firefox bookmarks and favorites of ie8.
I need to reinstall windows xp sp2 I turned off my pc by updating the os now I ask a question after the reinstallation of the sp2 would be it possible to recover my old data settings firefox favorites bookmarks of ie8 and norton antivirus 360 documents.
You might see if this folder is located on your computer. Depending on how you installed Windows, it could be an old version of some files in pre-installation.
C:\Windows.Old\
But beyond that, there's no other place I could think that perhaps it would be after a reinstallation.
Shameless plug for the new version:
If you used Windows 8, all of your documents, files, Favorites, bookmarks are saved on your Microsoft Account so that you can use them even if you get a new computer (or reinstall an old one). -

My system went down and had to be redone. How can I recover my old email?
I you were using OE in XP, then use the search or characteristic excerpt from disc DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/). See also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 also check to see if they have made a backup before "remake" your system.
If you do not use OE, then see the answer of Bruce.

NKALE,
It is OEM, sale retail or Volume Licensing? If it is OEM, the tile should be on your CPU. If it's retail, should be on the back of the box. If it's VL, then you should see in https://eopen.microsoft.com.

where can I get a free copy of windows vista edition Home premium? I tried to restore my laptop without success. I think I need a copy of the installation disc so that I can reinstall it with my current product key
Hello
There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...
http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g
If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...
- Pay Sony for media recovery
- A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.
If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...
http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ
.. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.
Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...
If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them
If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.
My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?
I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...
- The legality of this is, at best, questionable
- If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)
Tricky

I have a new HP computer and I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running). When you try to open an attachment, the bar downstairs quickly moves to the right, but never appears a dialog box asking if you want to open or save the file. Error message I get when I try to resolve it with the suggested steps indicates "module"wintrust.dll"was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. I tried to do the same command prompt, but still not received the same error. Thanks for help anything.
Hi Paul,.
Have you tried to download an attachment after you turn off your antivirus?I had a problem in the past where the system was performed at Trend Micro Internet Security and Web content filtering (I think that's what it was called) was preventing attachments from download.I would like to know what are your results!Cody C
