HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reinstall Vista premium edition

I have a new computer, clean my registry, and something has been deleted which was not supposed to.    Now, my computer accepts no updates at all. aid coulum says I need to reinstall windows vista premium to fix. Pretty simple.  problem is when I got my new PC out of the box, vista is already installed and the product key is on the side of my Tower. There is no disk that I can remember, and now I'm naïve what to do.    I really want to spend another $ 150, I don't have, something that I wouldn't really need. Is it possible to reinstall vista online if I can prove it is mine and noone elses?         Help, please!

Most new computers come with a version of Vista recovery on a partition of your hard drive.

You need to read the documentation that came with your computer to find out how to start the recovery.

Normally you have to press a button or two while the computer starts up, then ask if you want to restore the computer to factory settings.

Note If you do this will delete EVERYTHING on your hard drive (just what you put on the computer SINCE you bought it).

If this is not available contact the company you purchased the computer turned off and ask them for a set of recorvery CD / DVD.

One last thing.

DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

In fact

DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY. FULL STOP.

  • Reinstall vista premium on acer 5720

    The machine became very slow. Advisable to reinstall vista. Make a backup set of disks (11 off CD). During the reinstall the 160 GB drive HARD failed. Bought a new Seagate 250 GB HDD REF.st500lt012 9ws142.  Charge of 11 CDs but at the end of the 11th invited to reload the first disc. Seems to progress, but finally get the message that windows cannot be loaded. Borrowed a 250 GB HDD from a friend - not loaded no problem. (temporarily using this now). A friend used machine desk top to try the new HARD drive. Loaded Vista of a genuine Microsoft disk without problem. I'm a novice, but I guess it's a "simple" problem (I hope)' can someone help me please. I don't know what to do next. (new HARD drive has been verified by an audit of seagate program - all OK)

    Hello

    Why don't borrow you Microsoft Vista DVD your companion to reinstall on your machine, IF it's a Microsoft DVD, not a DELL, HP, DVD etc.

    It's a legal way to do it.

    You can 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.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  • Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

    This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

    I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

    Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

    Help, please.

    «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

    A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

    There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

    Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

    Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

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

    If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

    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

    If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  • Cannot use the cd - rw drive. the icon disappeard. I'm using Vista premium edition

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

    Try this double click Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - device - tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive of the driver - UNINSTALL - REBOOT this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

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

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables at both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some entries in the registry that the troubleshooter does not solve, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the correct registry entries for your car.

    These are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - secondary-keys for the CD/DVD drive of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • Windows Vista premium edition starts only with the safe mode or safe mode with network.

    There was a low voltage or surge protector and the computer came out. System Restore does not work.

    Hi ValrieSingh

     

    1. have you tried to start in normal mode after the issuance of the power?

    2. what happens if you start in normal mode?
    3. do you get errors in normal mode?

     

    You can check results when you activate the mode low resolution. It starts Windows using your current video driver, frequency settings low resolution and refresh. You can use this mode to reset your display settings.

    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.

    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

    I can't send emails with windows mail. I must go to Tiscali for now to do so. I went through the troubleshooting help, but I'm still not able to send an email. I can receive only. Error messages that are raised are - Socket - 10060 and error Error - 0x800CCC0E. Can anyone help.

    PS - my computer skills are always solutions if not complicated a bit basic please. Thanks for any answers to my problem.

    Hello!

    Thanks for the post.

    This isn't the exact error message, PS paste the entire error message, but this does not mean that we have no idea.

    This above error message is perhaps due to Norton, I say Norton because I saw it with Norton. Quite possible that you use another Antivirus/Firewall. Try to disable the firewall/AV & see if this work. Alternatively, try to uninstall the security software & then give it a shot.

    Hope it would help, do not hesitate to come back with the exact error code.
