  I didn't mean that you cannot run Windows 7. I have run on systems with 512 MB of ram. It will work, but will slip. It will be the same for Vista. I recommend that stick you with Xp until you are able to upgrade your ram.

• My computer freezes after a normal startup

  My computer crashes after the normal start time randomly I do nothing especially when it freezes. I ran malware bytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Avast and nothing was found, I also ran windows defender and malicious Microsoft removal tool. I am running Windows XP Pro. SP3. I can run the PC in safe mode and mode safe mode with networking, but as soon as I run it in normal mode it freezes all the time. I'm at my wits end trying to fix can someone help please.

  Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

  You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

  A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

• My computer has stopped recognizing my DVD burner.

  My computer has stopped recognizing my DVD burner. It will still read and write to a CD. I don't remember adding something new to the computer, but am not sure when it stopped to work with precision. The Device Manager shows his work; I tried updating the driver but it says that it is the most up to date; I uninstalled and reinstalled; I checked regedit and there are no filters; It is recognized in the BIOS. The store said it is not the hardware and you want to reformat the computer. What can I try before taking this step? Thank you.

  Hello Allisonjak,

  Thank you for your message.  You said try to update the drivers.  You go to the computer manufacturer's website and download/install the latest driver for your computer?  If this isn't the case, it is the recommended method for updating your drivers.
  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.

• Manufacturing recovery disks when the computer hangs when burning the DVD the first time

  I bought a new desktop computer HP Desktop Core I-7.  When I first connected, I started to burn the recovery disks.  The problem is, the first burned disc and then the computer locked up before burning DVD 2 and 3 and had to be restarted.  Now, I can't complete the game of recovery disks.

  The good news is that I have used the first disc to access the recovery partition on the hard disk to rebuild everything, but now I did put a good recovery.  Can I fix?  Or do I have to hope that my drive will never block?  Can I save the partition of subsequent restoration of a hard disk crash?

• After hitting F8 on startup and choosing "repair my computer", the system boots normally. Why?

  It is supposed to be a menu after selecting "repair my computer" which gives options as to how you want the computer repaired. Instead, the system starts right as usual. I'm trying to restore my computer to factory settings and I do not have the original diskettes. I am running vista, so I think that F8 is right. I also tried ctrl + F11 without success.

  Hello

  It is not always F8 to start the recovery process to factory settings.

  Different brands of computer use different keys for this.

  Read the operating instructions, contact the manufacturer because it is their recovery process or ask their Support Forums.

  You also had to make your own recovery discs, if you have never rec'd the recovery disc to buy time.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  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.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Computer will not start normally - boots to the BIOS boot screen

  Hi, today I had problems on my computer and it will not start normally upward. This started happening today. When I turn on the monitor, the HP logo appears on a blue screen (as usual), but then, there are a lot of vertical white lines grouped perfectly on the screen (it's never happened before) he started to arrive yesterday. and when I try to start it, there is just a black screen for a long time and sometimes the system recov appears but it takes SO long to finish so I just stopped and went into safe mode and did a quick scans with Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware, but they are all come clean except SUPER which came with a few things from tracking cookies...

  Today, I have scanned a full scan with malwarebytes and it says that there is no infection.

  can someone help me? I'm at the library atm! Thank you!

  Picture of the blue screen with lines here: http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8583/post1278441253416372.jpg

  also - im wondering how to start with recov disks? I have two drives but only as on slot dvd thing and I know to start upward with her? should I boot with it because the layout is a little down? and I don't have an installation disc windows vista then Yes.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello Winston,

  According to the image that you posted, it seems that the blue screen is a blue screen with the HP logo on the subject.

  If this is the case, then the machine has not yet reached Windows and is suspended in the machine Power On Self Test.

  My recommendation for this scenario is to contact HP about what there is something at the level of the material / process/firmware BIOS which prevents the machine to get it to start Windows Vista.

  Let us know what they have to say.

  Best regards

  Hello

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
