• Acer Aspire laptop with Vista Home Basic Edition does not, System Restore does not, sfc, find corrupt files but do not repair. Need help!

  Hi, I have an Acer laptop Aspire with Vista Home Basic Edition that came pre-installed, so no records only the disk hard drive partition.

  I turned on my laptop today and it starts but the loading bar of stalls at the black screen with "(c) Microsoft Corporation" and dragging green. The slide bar will continue to drag, but nothing else happens which means that I understand even as much as the login screen. I rebooted and tried Windows recovery, but the only remedy to what he suggests is a restoration of the system, which does not have any point, I try to restore it.

  To remedy this, I have connected in safe mode and ran the SFC command prompt. It scans my system and told to find corrupted files, but he can't heal some. This is where my knowledge limit runs out. I don't know how to fix the files that the SFC cannot. (Also I created a journal using the findstr command prompt and checked but it say anywhere that it was unable to fix it so I'm not even sure how to identify corrupted files)

  As it's an Acer laptop, Aspire I'll try their eRecovery tool to return my computer to factory settings, but it won't work in safe mode, and as I said I can not connect normally. I tried alt and F10 at the initial boot screen when I turn on, it loads the windows files and shows the Acer "Please wait a moment" screen and then nothing happens again.

  I can't afford to get it fixed, and there is no chance I can get a new laptop. Any ideas/help? Thank you.

• Screenshot with Vista Home Basic

  I need to know how to take a screenshot with my Vista Home Basic. The information page of Microsoft said "take a screen capture (print screen). Applies to all editions of Windows Vista. To copy the entire screen:

  Press PRINT SCREEN. »

  I can tell you that it does not work.

  What is the secret?

  Thank you.

  Write to me here: chaselink / / to the / / aol / / dot / / com

  It took me forever to figure this out myself, lol.

  After pressing the 'PrintScreen' key, open MS Paint, go to the Edit menu and choose "Paste." The screenshot collected should stick in and can now be saved in jpg or png format.

  If it still does not respond, it is possible that a third-party program has diverted the button for his own purposes.

• My CD/DVD driver won't read any disks. (windows Vista Home Basic)

  My driver CD/DVD does not read discs. Whenever I have insert a disc into my CD/DVD player, absolutely nothing is happening, as the drive is not yet there. I tried to get gpedt.msc as help Windows said to me, but the file is not found. Can someone tell me what's wrong and help me fix?

  Hello

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack.

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Hope these helps.

• Laptop Dell with Vista Home Basic... Want to change my OS

  I bought a Dell laptop, my choice for OS Vista Basic and Windows 7 64-bit.

  Unable to get 64 bit 7 because of a critical driver problem, lack of 3rd-party. I have a XP disc, can I use the product key

  for vista OS to activate XP.

  Thank you

  N °

  You can't use the product key for Vista to XP Activation!

  Installation of XP instead of Vista:

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.
