  I am unable to afford a new cd for a new clean instalation of windows, I think I need. can someone please

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

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

  It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.

  http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

  Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.

  To start the system recovery:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
  3. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
  4. After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
  5. Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
  6. Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
  7. Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.

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

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, 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.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• tiara help in windows 7

  Hey guys

  IM using the Diadem 8.1 and, recently, our systems have been upgraded to Windows 7. The help of Diadem files do not work in Windows 7. He said: 'help files were created with versions of windows older than what you have. " So, how to use help?

  Hi Mechranjan

  You can find a solution for this problem here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

  But I'm afraid that you will get other problems with this very old version. DIAdem 8.1 was 2002, eight years before the release of Windows 7 release. So if you use Windows 7, I would say that updating your version of DIAdem on DIAdem 2010 (Version 11.2). Moreover, a lot of exciting new features, this official version supports Windows 7.

  I hope this helps.

• Why whs 2011 installation gets stuck to copy Windows files on the HARD drive?

  I try to install WHS 2011 OEM on a HP EX470 software.  I have tried about 30 times without supervision and welfare facilities in the past 4 months and am very frustrated that I can't succeed and purchase the software was a waste of time and money.  I tried 4 hard drives, properly formatted capacity of 250 GB to 2 TB.  EX470 has the original 1620 AMD processor and 2 GB RAM upgraded and qualifies for the upgrade to a 64-bit system.

  Problem with installation assistance tries: Installation says "Copying Windows files", but after a variable time in hours of waiting, growth remains at 0% and finally says "error in installation.  Try to restart the installation.  Same thing happens with the help of the DVD, or by using a Sandisk Cruser formatted and made bootable 16 GB flash drive with a file cfg.ini the instructions online and also tried without the cfg.ini file.
  Problem with unattended installation attempts:  Process completely blind.  Does not install even if left for 24 hours.  Cannot decipher the flashing lights on the Flash drive and thereafter, no installation nor evidence of partial installation is visible on check the hard drive on another computer.  I suppose that the same thing as the installation attempts assisted.
  Looked for solutions online for 4 months, but nobody does the problem of Windows not to copy the files to the HARD disk during installation and what goes wrong.
  Help!

• With the help of windows Explorer XP does use CPU to go to 100% and the blocking of the system forever

  With the help of windows Explorer XP does use CPU to go to 100% and the blocking of the system, forever, until closing by force.  What can I do?

  It is very difficult to manage my files.

  I suggest you download Process Explorer. This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager, but it goes much further.

  For more information about Process Explorer, see here:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

  Explorer.exe is used by a number of applications. The posting process and see which element below uses explorer.exe.

• Association__Unable of loading Windows files: for example; "vlc. INK." invalid file.__All because my desktop icons have changes and all end. Insread of INK. EXE?

  When I go to open an application, I get a message that says "" could not load (any program I'm opening).»» Invalid file of INK. always comes to the top.
  I double click on an icon on the desktop, and a box pops up saying
  ' file: vlc.exe (for example.).
  To open this file, windows needs to know what kind of program has created. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on your computer.
  Then it gives me an option to use the web to find the appropriate program, or to select the program from a list.

  Every time I try to look for an application to open it, or search for an anti virus or a fix it patch to solve the problem, I get a windows Explorer page saying "Windows file Association.

  I do nothing, can solve the problem, I tried to restart at an earlier date to work on the pc, but I had fixed some time back, there is no date of previous work before this? Can someone plese help, I'm at my wits end... Thanks in advance

  Hey all, I met several times before - bit of a design on a flaw in Microsoft if you ask me.  If that's what I think is, you set all files with the extension ".lnk" to start with vlc.exe (or another program).  In short, here's what you need to do, but be careful in the registry.

  Do exactly what the instructions, exactly how they say to do it, and if something seems wrong, get the help of a technician or someone more experienced.  Make a mistake in the registry can make your system unbootable more or less well.

  1. Click on theStart Menu, typeregedit in start search and pressENTER .
  2. Navigate to the following registry branch:

  NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

  Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts .

  1. Delete the subkey namedUserChoice .
  2. Exit the registry editor.

  As much as I would like to take credit for the difficulty, I can't - search this Web site for the theme "icons of Application and extension changed. LNK ".  'MyronH' is the host that the application of origin.

  To the extent where the fix proposed by spankydoggy...  Although the intention seems authentic, notice are a bit dodgy.  Considering of Manhood and the stealth technology in about 800 000 permutationsknown to modern virii / Trojans / malware, the only safe course of action is to back up your data and rebuild your system.  And that says nothing about the relevance of the instructions spankydoggy offers in relation toyour system (operating system, applications, recorded files, etc..).  Follow the advice of spankydoggy if you want, but 10 years experience suspect at best it's going to do nothing and lead you into a dead end and the worst cases - it could make your system unbootable or losing data.

  Best regards and good luck,

• How can I delete old windows files that seem to occupy a large part of my hard drive. I use Vista Home. I have reininstalled OS but only saved the files I never cleaned up old windows.
