CD installation lost, security documents and all that...

Some time ago I noticed that I could have thrown all my "papers of computer... Boxes with documentation and warranty... Warranty was already obsolete, but I had there also my cd of Vista Home Premium, I bought with a computer (extra charge). Now, I installed it on my PC, recorded by phone (I had no internet access while the record was necessary), I have a cd - key stuck at the top of the computer case. But what happens if mysystem breaks down and I need everything reinstall? Will I have problems? Can I receive wherever you are LEGALLY a new drive without paying the full price for the system once more?

How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

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.

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

Ask them if you can also make 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 way of doing 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

After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

  • I'm retouching of images taken on my iPhone 6 more with Photoshop CS6. I'm doing my color correction and add effects and all that. Before you export the image I review and be sure to what I has no more sharpness and the lines are smooth and it looks good

    I'm retouching of images taken on my iPhone 6 more with Photoshop CS6. I'm doing my color correction and add effects and all that. Before you export the image I review and be sure to what I has no more sharpness and the lines are smooth and it looks good overall. I export it to JPEG, max quality with the establishment of reference standards. I then open the image and it seems fine, as it did in photoshop. My problems begin to occur when I try to download on Twitter as my profile picture. I tried downloading from my office directly on the site via google chrome. When I download the image then begins to have jagged edges and overlooks the tablets. So I thought it was some performance settings, then I tweaked them and restarted a couple of times and still the same result. He would go on my desk but when uploaded to twitter as my profile picture is horrible. So I tried emailing the image of myself and the download through my phone. I opened the image on my iphone and it seemed fine as he did on my desktop but when I downloaded the image it makes then look blurry. I had this problem when downloading photos Twitter via my iphone, so it doesn't surprise me. I have read different forums saying: you must download it from the office, so I thought it would work like this. This could be a problem of twitter than compresses uploaded photos? Other people can do very much the same way, but it does not work for me. Please someone help me before I put my computer in an oven microwave.

    This could be a problem of twitter than compresses uploaded photos?

    Yes. The rest, we can answer. You wrote a lot, but very little discussion. Instead of accurate information you lose yourself in the vague descriptions. Screw color management to the wrong dimensions that trigger resizing server-side it could be any number of things here.

  • Help the evolution of security questions and answers that the quick instructions do not work because they say to click on / use the prompts are not there!

    Went to quick help with trouble with memory security question answers, b/c I don't remember my answers of course. And so... the instructions were to connect to the Apple ID account, then click on the security option, and then he said to click on security questions of rearmament (1st issue), which was NOT the case to be found. It has been mentioned that if it wasn't an option, then that may mean that you do not have a rescue located in your account email, BUT I DO. Another potential problem that was mentioned was that I could possibly try to answer the questions too often wrong and there will be some time before the option reset the q would be available again (or at all exist in the 1st place, I expect). But the actual amount of the supposed time out time is never mentioned anywhere, and the reset option is not appear after a period of time I wait and start again to try again. So, what's the problem? Idk what to do, if someone knows the answer or can help so I must not call technical support that would be amazing! Thank you very much!

    -Sincerely, daughter of Tech-illiterate.

    If you know your password Apple ID, what ever you do the call will last about 3 minutes.

    Is - not worth the time to solve the problem?

    If your email address of rescue has never been verified, it cannot be used. The time-out period is not mentioned as part of the character course of these processes. Why share with someone trying to hack your account how long they have to wait to try again?

  • I lost my documents and settings to windows 7 how folder to restore?

    I accidentally deleted my documents and settings folder in popular 7 How do I restore or take another?

    1. check that the Documents & settings is actually deleted, rather than simply hidden from view. Windows Explorer, Union, file & search options, view tab to view hidden folders and clear the Hide protected operating system files [a few lines below the item in the list of hidden folders].

    2 - made command prompt right click on the command prompt entry into all programs, accessories, and select run as administrator.

    3 - this procedure system restore returns the system files to the State they were at the time of the restore point was created.  But I have never seen a report of anyone removing the Documents & settings before folder so I don't know that the restoration would correct this particular problem.  This comment also applies to running sfc / scannow.

    4 new admin - account when I created a new Admin account, all existing programs were available, and it is the behavior, I expect in all cases.  You won't see any desktop shortcuts because they belong to each account, but programs should be in the Start button, all programs lists.  You can get access authorization in the administrator account to access your existing user account & copy from there, desktop shortcuts if you wish but you must a first full backup or your next routine backup of user account will consider each unique as user data file being modified.  After you change the permissions, you can then run [I think you need a command prompt to run as administrator again] attrib - a/s of your folder my documents [check syntax using attrib /?] to reset all the data user file archive bits & therefore prevent everything back up again.

    5 reinstaling the OS solve the missing documents & settings folder.  I've seen discussions in this forum about putting on another partition data files, but you will need to pick up this topic because I never paid much attention to it.  Before doing [and this is just speculation], try to run then by saving a file from your older pre-Win7 application to see if Win7 itself can recreate the Documents & Settings folder when an older application that calls a configuration file or a backup procedure.  If it works, it would save you a lot of aggravation.  Alternatively, since the Documents & Settings folder must be called on what using an old pre-Win7 application, if your older application may perform & record properly without it then don't bother doing a re-install at all.

    Good luck with everything cela - and once more just to avoid misunderstandings, I've never seen a report on the Documents & Settings folder has been deleted, so I can't give advice without the benefit of a direct experience.

  • BlackBerry smartphones updated my OS but lost App World and all of my current applications. Torch 9810. Help, please.

    I plugged my lamp to my laptop and the desktop software told me that there was an OS update (version 7.0 bundle 2406 v7.0.0.585 platform 5.0.0734). I thought fair enough - probably extra security, etc. on the new version so I advanced and loaded after doing a full backup.

    This delete all my contacts, media, app world and all the applications that I had downloaded. I did a restore but then put it back into place all my contacts and the media, app world and all applications seem to have disappeared, and I can't seem to get them or even to make global icon reappear.

    Help, please.

    I am very surprised that RIM has put an update out there that removes all your stuff off your phone without even warn that it can do?

    Thank you.

    Well, RIM develops upgrades of the OS, your mobile operator "put out there" for you to upgrade.

    And there are many warnings rich to do upgrades of the OS without first accomplishing your own backup device independent... but this is not serious now.

    1. Anywho, do... go into Options > device > Applications, search AppWorld on your list and IF it is, delete it.
    2. Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart.
    3. Now, use your browser to go to the www.blackberry.com/appworld and download/install AppWorld again.

    Let us know how it goes.

  • Deleting VMware and all that it has associated delete folders/files Mac OS and volume virtual... correct?

    Hello world

    I used the trial of VM for a bit, ran 10.8 Mac on my machine 10.9. I used CleanApp to remove the VMware application and everything that it has combined the files/folders. Wondering if this technique also removes the Mac OS that has been installed on a virtual computer and removes the virtual volume? I think I lost a lot of free space on my SSD.

    Thank you!

    John

    I found this post of disk space missing after uninstalling VMware Fusion 6 and the suggested disk inventory X installed. The app found the Mac OS folder that contains the file 21 GB + virtual Disk.vmdk and the rest. (I totally forgot this file and location when I installed everything first.) Trashed the entire folder and appear to regain space lost to SSD, but I think that there are even more is lost.

    The kind of wave removes the above folder that contains the virtual file Disk.vmdk below article.
