  If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer

  Yes.

  You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

  Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

  Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

  Alternatively, try your local computer store.

  This isn't for free.

  How can I check the ink levels using Windows 8.1. for my Deskjet F2100 to all-in-one series printer.

  I got a new computer with Windows 8.1. already installed and well that my

  printer works normally, I have no ink or HP support or a level indicator

  other tools, HP etc.  I checked the HP website offering me to go to START >

  CONTROL PANEL > PRINTER & DEVICES.   Right click on the printer preference.

  Services and choose the LEVEL of INK.  But there is no photo ink level click on.

  Consider that HP did not compatible for this printer software and Windows 8.1?

  Help, please.

  Hi Elsie, welcome to the forums

  I will examine with pleasure for you to see if your model of printer available with Windows 8.1 full software. First of all, please let me know what model Deskjet F2100 you have and I'll do some research!

  In the meantime, you can run the HP printer install wizard for Windows to see if the tool installs the complete driver. If it is available, you will have the available printer software on your desktop that you can open to view ink levels.

• Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

  Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

  Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
  I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

  Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

  If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.

• How can I run a program Windows Vista Windows 7?

  How can I run a window vista program in a window 7?

  Many programs of Vista will install and work without problems under Windows 7. If you find difficulties try compatibility mode:

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows .

  You can also check the compatibility of programs on the publishers program Web site or here:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win7/CompatCenter/Home .

  Also, specific 64-bit programs will not work on 32-bit Windows (regardless of whether it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, etc.). Most, but not all, 32-bit programs will run on 64-Bit Windows. For more information. Please see:

• How can I restore my laptop Windows Vista to allow me to move my photos...

  My neighbour who took the week last to mess with my Windows Vista laptop and did a disc defrag with a bunch of other things that I don't have any

  idea of what it does? She stole the handle when I asked politely to restore my pc, so there is no way of knowing me now what she did :(  Thank God, thanks to your site I was able to restore my icons and can now see my photos instead of empty folders! My question is now,

  When I download pictures, a window opens which used to give me an option (Edit) move my photos that I download the folder of my choice. I don't have this option on this window. All it shows is "Organize", "Views", "Slideshow" and "Burn". Any chance to get this window with the option to move my photos into different folders? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  The hard drive on my ispiron 530 has recently developed a fault and damaged my version of windows Vista.

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.

  Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

  Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.

  http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/AP/shared/support/DellCare/en/contact_us?c=au&l=en&s=DHS

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  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 case will determine which 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

  See you soon.

  PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:

  If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...

  You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.

  If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.

  If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

• How can I recover my deleted windows vista was installed on my laptop?

  Hello world

  I have a LENOVO 3000 v200 laptop. When I bought this, Windows vista had been installed on it. Accidentally, I formatted my hard drive. because I have no CD Win I loos my operating system. But I deleted my windows certification label (the certification is glued to the butoom of my pc) and so I have the product key. Can I get or download my microsoft windows? If so, exactly where?

  You will need to contact Lenovo http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=YAST-3P2QYL to request a set of recovery disks.  You can also have a recovery Partition that will also do the trick - Lenovo to ask how to access if you do, and if it is possible to make your own recovery disks and how to do in the circumstances.  This is recovery Lenovo process - no Microsofts so that they are those who you must contact and obtain the required information and records.  With these discs and your product key, you will be able to restore the computer to the original factory conditions.

  I'm sorry, that we cannot help you more.  Here is Microsoft's policy on replacement software:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246/en-us.  There is no free download of Vista and Microsoft provide copies (if they even copies of Vista more).  You have to deal with Lenovo to this situation.

  I hope this helps.

• How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

  I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

  Hello

  Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

  They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

  You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

  Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

  The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

  And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  See you soon.

• I believe that when I had my computer reset Windows Vista has been removed from the system due to my computer with a virus. Now, I need to know how can I do to restore Windows Vista in my system?

  I need help restoring Windows Vista on my computer.  Please help this is finals week and I need my computer to take my final.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  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.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash when you're back running.

  They will tell you how to do this.

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

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  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
