Hi I have an acer aspire laptop running on vista factory installed which I want to totally remove to install xp can anyone help please?
I tried to run it as administrator to force the installation but not worked any help would be welcome
You must first visit the Acer site, specific to your model, and see if the Windows XP drivers are available, if they don't even try.
If the drivers are available, you will need to boot from the Windows XP retail cd, delete all partitions, create a new partition, and then continue with the installation. You will lose everything on the disc

I have two Acer Aspire laptops. They are totally frozen because of the virus.
I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement.
I have to rebuild my laptop.Hello
No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?
If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.
With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.
All data are lost when you do the above.
And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.
They do that for a small fee:
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 phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

I managed to uninstall my acrobat pro, but my adobe application manager seems to think that I still have it. I do not see how to download it from adobe and re install. Can anyone help? I spent many hours trying to get my creative cloud version to run after the license of first years has failed. It was a bit of a nightmare and sie Adobe is not easy to get help from.
I spent a few hours trying to untangle a redemption code. I dropped so uninstalled acrobat, because he is no longer works apparently. I managed to find out how to buy a new redemption code for creative cloud through the Institute where I exposed, but now I can't get a download for my acrobat, one that will work on my macbook pro 2010 running 10.6.8
Navigation in the adobe site was not easy and not very impressed in terms of achieving support for the problems and responses so far. Only no reply emails usually that means logging in time and time again.

Thanks to all of you who tried to help him. I thank can I have managed to sort it out. It seems that I can not have uninstalled initially, but I could not access the program and all my pdfs, opens in preview. I found another uninstall program that seems to have done the trick as my adobe application manager is now let me download.
I hope it will do the trick and my thanks to all who responded. Bravo guys. I hope that I won't make the same mistake next year ;-)

I have a laptop running XP Home SP3 Ed who is stuck in a loop of connection, in other words, when I try to log on it says "loading your personal settings" will Flash on the desktop for a fraction of a second and then says "saving your settings" and brings back me to the right at the log on screen.
I do not have the XP disc to reinstall and there is no recovery console to access. I've seen on many other forums that the problem may be with the userinit.exe file and I tried to copy this file in front of my PC - but with the fact that it is Windows 7 64 bit I don't really expect to work. Is it possible to download the correct version of this file from anywhere?
Another thought I had was to install a different version of Windows XP from an old obsolete machine and I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer the product key?
Managed to get windows reinstalled - all sorted now. Thanks for the suggestions.

Im not at all the tech.savy and would be really grateful if someone may be able to help solve this issue.

Hello
Im having problems with my iPhotos import, I just bought photoshop elements 13 and mac book at the same time and I'm a bit of a learning curve, I noticed that on all the tutorials, there were people and Media tabs which I don't see, all I see is elive, Quick, guided and Expert, can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance

Elements consists of two separate but closely linked programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the Organizer, allowing you to organize them. You are looking in the editor. The Organizer, click the Organizer button in the start screen or at the bottom of the editor.
Now, you want to keep your photos in iphoto or organizer? It's a choice you need to do, sooner or later. The Organizer includes an EEG of photos by > command iphoto, but who's going to copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and organizing data bases do for copies. Is that what you want to do, or want to you use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE Organizer?
Maybe you are looking for
