How can I get windows vista to lock mode?
I am using windows vista ultimate and for some reason, it keeps happening in blocking mode and displaying the login screen after about 1 minute of inactivity. Please read the following and do not waste my time with useless answers, I've seen tons of those on the Microsoft support site. I have all my power options set to 'never '. I don't have a selected screen saver. To clarify what I put in power options, display is set to never turn off. Cover, button / stop and sleep options are set to 'status quo '. Turn off the HDD is set to never. In power, the options are set "never" or "status quo". If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. And once again, if you do not have a solution, please do not respond.
Hello
Control Panel - power - on the top left Options - require a password on Wakeup - check do not require a password
Also right click Desktop - Customize - screensaver - disable the log on the summary screen - apply / OK.
Do this even if you do not have a screen saver. If it is unchecked then check and then go back and
Uncheck the box.
You might also have something in the Advanced Options on your power Plans.
I hope this helps.

How can I get Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bit?
I decided to install Windows 7 on my computer for the 30 day free trial, but am now regretting it. I don't have the money to buy the product officially, so I want to reinstall my windows vista. I have the drive, but when I try to install the computer says that this version of windows is not compatible with it. How can I get my Windows Vista to install?
Also, I currently have windows 7 Home premium. It is a 32-bit operating system and is running on Service Pack 1. The version of windows that I am wanting to return is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
I can't make the method for using the windows.old as my uncle decided to remove after installation of windows. I have 13, but even, I knew it was a bad idea. In any case, I would really help with this question.
Ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit is a single proposal for a NEW facility.
You can boot from the DVD and erase your old installation (wipe, from scratch, all not saved disappeared and everything must be installed manually - including drivers for hardware devices and software you have installed now) and install Windows Vista x 64.

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.
Try this:
Toshiba Recovery:
To access the recovery partition Toshiba, powering the laptop. Press 0 (zero) key and turn on the laptop. Keep holding down the zero key until the TOSHIBA logo, which is where you should start to type the zero key repeatedly. Stop if the device emits a sound signal or when the TOSHIBA logo disappears. The screen should light up * MODE of RECOVERY of HARD drive * for a fraction of a second, and then load the Toshiba Recovery program directly from the hard drive.
Note that this clears all data and reload all the software factory default. Be sure to back up all your important personal data beforehand!
You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing 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

Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?
I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7
Hi Zling,
It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.
I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST
