How can I completely erase everything off of my computer's memory?
You mean a clean to factory settings install; as in the way in which you bought it.
Read the info below:
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 do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
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

Super Guide Windows Vista Installation
After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.
See you soon.

How can I completely erase my macbook 6.1 HDD and start over?
I'm new to Mac OSx. For a long time PC user in time. I took an old macbook 6.1. How do I completely erase this HARD and start over?
Thanks in advance!
You either need gray original install disks or a retail Snow Leopard disc http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You start from the disc by inserting it and restart while holding the C key, choose your language and the next screen instead of click on install OS X you click the Utilities menu and select disk utility. Use utility disk to erase the hard drive then quit to return to the screen of the installer and install OS X. Then download and run the 10.6.8 combo updater download Mac OS X 10.6.8 v.1.1 Update after that, you will have access to the Mac App Store and can upgrade for free at El Capitan.

How do I completely erase an existing catalog so I can start over?
Thank you.
Yes, you can have two separate catalogues for personal use and work.
If a book is opened, you switch to the other catalog using file-> open recent or-> open the catalog.
You can not have two different catalogs open at the same time.
Make sure you do not import into the catalog wrong!

How can I turn on turn off (and on) the incognito in Version 28?
How can I turn on turn off (and on) the incognito in Version 28? Seems to be permanently on the private browsing mode. I would like to be able to choose which mode on the fly without addons. All the help I've seen so far, is for older versions of Firefox. I use the 28 Version. Which seems to be the latest version from here.
You can check that you are not running Firefox in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history)?
- Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
- Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.
You can check the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to make sure that nothing is added after the path to the Firefox program.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

I have Windows 7 Professional. Used it on my PC and then I had to buy a new Dell computer, as my old PC blew the motherboard. The new Dell came with 8.1 if I want to install 7 on my wife's computer, as it did in Win98. When I did this it called my disabled factory or pirated disk. How can I take my PC off the product key and got my other PC for its use?
If Windows 7 Professional is pre-installed on your Dell computer, it cannot be transferred. If it is a license purchased at a retail store, he transfer rights.

3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person. -
