How can I get a windows xp installation disc. Need to start over.

Need to redo my computer from scratch.  You will need an installation for windows xp disc.  Any help?

You have an OEM computer (such as HP, Dell, Compaq, Gateway, Toshiba, etc.)?  If so, most of these manufacturers have installed on the hard drive that will wipe the hard drive and restore it to the condition purchased as a recovery partition.  When you first start and the manufacturer of startup screen appears, look for a message telling you to press a key to retrieve.  Quickly, press this key when the message and follow the instructions to get your computer back.

  • Where can I get a Windows Vista installation disc?

    My old Acer laptop crashed about a year & a half.  I bought a new laptop.  The other day I plugged it to see what would happen.  He came & the guest a insert the Windows Vista installation disc.  Where can I get this drive?  Windows Vista came pre-installed with the laptop, so I do not have a disk with him.  Acer does not know because the laptop is out of warranty.  They told me to take the laptop to a computer repair shop.  Well, I don't want to spend that much money to find out what was on the laptop when it crashed.  Any suggestions?

    2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.

    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.

  • Is someone can you please tell me how I can get a windows XP installation disc?

    I have an old computer with windows XP that crashed recently. The thing is that when I bought the computer, it did not come with an XP Setup disk. So can someone please tell me how I can get a windows XP installation disc? I tried several ways to fix the computer. I installed a hard drive with win98 and tried to recover my files. Also, I deleted the original hard drive and installed win98 to try to connect to the internet so I could install Ubuntu or Pandora.

    Windows XP disks are no longer manufactured or sold. You * may * be able to find a place with an old stock for sale, but it is not very likely. Close your only choice is to purchase a used copy somwhere (but I would avoid eBay, where any software you buy is probably hacked).

  • I had windows 10 and it crashed my pc. A friend put a test windows 7 on my pc and now it says that it isn't geninue copy of windows. How can I get back windows 7?

    How can I get my windows 7 back, as if it was before? And I have to pay for this?

    Windows 10 crashed my pc, and I need help please

    Claire-

    The PC comes with Windows 7 the plant?  If so there should be a COA sticker on the outside, or under the battery with a product key used to activate.  Also on the label is printed the licensed version.  Now look at control panel > system to confirm page which is the version that has been installed.  If so, scroll down to the activation link to "Change product key" and insert the key to the sticker.

    It is easy to mistake the 25 digit key characters.  What I do is take a picture of the phone and huge blow up, so check each character before submitting the key.

    If Windows 10 had activated, you can also get a facility much better to do a Clean install Windows 10 improvement will be paid to questions of lower upgrade installation, which should reactivate with the permanent right granted once did you the upgrade.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).

    I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.

    Whenever I tell the Windows Mail email 'Send and receive', he wants to 'connect' for remote access or one of his three choices (listed above and direct exclusion of any connection to the local network).  It works with remote access, so once I have spend that I should be Ok. but I can't make it work directly.

    Help.

    In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection.  It shows for the connection?  You
    should leave this setting not selected, in which case Windows Mail will use the IE connection uses.
     
    In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
     
    If everything which withdraws, but you still have the problem, the account may be damaged.  Remove account, restart Windows Mail,.
    then recreate the account.

    How can I get my photos stored in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 out of this program, I am a 76 year old lover

    Your photos must be stored on your disk. If I recall Starter is a database system, so just the thumbnail and its changes are stored in the database with a link to the original image.

    It was long, so I could be wrong. If I do, look in the file menu of options to save or export. First select the files, then choose this option.

    Sorry, I wish I could be more help but as I said, it has been a long time.
