How can I recover my computer to an earlier point settings?
My computer said it will restart in 14 minutes, then started a count down... When he did he showed that there are three steps to restart... Then my computer stopped and re-started... None of my settings, or whatever it is was the same. How can I restart at an earlier point until the computer is automatically restarted?

- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

Hey elcuervo33
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you the vista recovery disc reinstall vista to how you bought your computer
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

How can I recover my old favorites list after restoring my computer?
I have a netbook Dell Wireless. I had a problem of malworm and had to restore my computer to an earlier date. Everything worked, however, my list of favorites is no longer there (it was very long and very valuable for me). How can I recover my favorites who have been there? I was told that I do not lose anything when I had to restore. Help!
Sometimes, a new folder is created when the registry is restored and the new folder is empty.
Therefore, perhaps original folder still on the drive in which case you can copy its contents and paste them into the new Favorites folder is empty...
would it be possible that the old folder with your Favorites is next to the new empty folder.
try to do a "search" for "Favorites".

How can I recover data hard drive XP in Visa 64 bit computer?
Other than using a hard drive in XP as a slave in a computer 64 bit Vista, how can I recover the files in the drive XP given that the motherboard of the computer broken XP?
Hi, amymay5!
You can retrieve any information on the disk hard until you connect it to a mother's work. So, if you have a Vista computer, the option to connect as a slave is easier to achieve your goal.
Good luck!

Help! How can I recover all my files that I lost? I was answering an e-mail message when I heard a couple of clicks then my computer off.
I thought that my computer was destroyed. Nothing I tried would bring it to the top, so I decided to use the system recovery disc that
came with my computer. I've also downloaded all the drivers for the application. My computer is back on, but I lost everything.
It's like putting into service with a new computer. I had a lot of important information in the files that I lost. I've tried everything I know to do
without success. Is it still possible to recover these lost files? Thank you very much for your help!
Hello
I'm sorry, but when you did the recovery of the system you have disabled your hard drive of everything, including your files.
You now have a new computer.
You can try this program (it's free) to see if he 'can' find and recover your files. no guarantee:
