I agree with PA bear "you can't trust the security of ANY computer used until you've formatted the hard drive & then made a clean installation of Windows. "
But if you do not want or you cannot perform a clean install and are willing to take the risk of infecting other computers on the home network, read on:-
To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:
- Click Startand then click run.
- Copy and paste, or type the following command, and then click OK:
winver
A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer.

How can I get or create a windows vista recovery disc? My system restore does not work!
Attempted to purchase the HP recovery Dics... Has said that Vista is obsolete!
You can read the product key on the COA at the base / side of your system? If so go here "Microsoft Downloads wiki":
Follow the instructions to make a USB bootable stick for Vista, and then select 32-bit or 64-bit according to availability of the driver and the amount of RAM you have etc.You will need your key and you will need to activate by phone. I give full instructions doing so here 'a clean install of Windows Vista/7 wiki:The clean install above applies to a Dell system; that you do not use a Dell when I say press F2 or F12 (step 6), you'll probably need to press another button. In step 4 you will need to go to go on the site of HP opposes the Dell one. Step 11 ignore any mention of specific software Dell mentioned however the recommended software mentioned is always useful.Note for Vista I only did a Dell via this method, and it worked fine. I couldn't try all other systems because the COA is faded and product keys were unrecognizable. For Windows 7, however I did 2 HPs through this method and many valleys.You can also look on eBay for reinstallation of Vista HP DVDs, but they can be hard to find. -

the light on the power button does not work. How can I activate it?
HP pavilion dv7
Windows 7.
the light on the power button does not work. How can I activate it?
If the key light is not lighting up, then more than likely that the LED is just out for your power button. If the laptop is still under warranty, you can it be repaired or replaced, but as long as its not causing you any serious issues, I worry too much with it.

Hello world
I have back Windows 10 to Windows 7 Home Premium as suggested previously and it worked fine. Then knit as well as the sound function keys, but I now have a problem with the printer. I have a Toshiba Satellite.
I am trying to print and get the message "...". You must install a printer.
I reinstalled my Epson WF-2630, but when I try to add a printer in devices and printers, I receive the message "Windows can't open add printer." The local spooler service sprint does not work. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine.
Can someone help, please?
Thank you very much
WestAusShortie
Hello West,
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for details on the issue.
This problem may occur if the print spooler service is not running.
Please refer to the suggestions of John Rubdy replied on April 29, 2010 and check if that helps.
