How can I reformat my laptop with the Windows Vista operating system?

Hello

Please advise how I can do a reformat of my laptop which runs Windows Vista OS that I don't have the CD or DVD drive? normally it is preinstalled by the manufacturer. Thank you

Hello

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

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

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

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

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 / Laptop box determines what 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

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

See you soon.

    I would like to inform you that Jucheck.exe is the process that runs automatically when the Java Update tool is activated. Jucheck.exe usually checks the Internet for the software updates available and invite you to install them to keep your updated program.

    Hello

    It is a community facility by Microsoft, but we're especially of volunteers helping posters for free, so there is no use demand anything from us.

    And Microsoft does not intentionally try and destroy their own business by doing what you claim they do

    We can try and help you with your problem, but if you have a complaint against Microsoft, you will have to contact Microsoft directly.

    _________________________________

    Information about updates:

    "Sometimes Microsoft offers updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc..

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the performance and security of your system"

  • On Windows 7, how can I get more flexibility with the Windows Firewall?

    Here's the situation.

    I use a laptop for work and home. To keep the separate thing, I use two different accounts: one that opens a session in the field of work and one that connects to the computer.
    The account that connects to the local computer has administrative privileges. Yet, when I go to configure the firewall at home, I get the message "For your security, some settings are managed by your system administrator." I'm unable to enable or disable the firewall, and even less to configure protocols or specific programs.
    It is worth noting that even by connecting the computer with the account named Administrator the same problem occurs.
    Leave the domain, then by restarting allows me all access to the commands of Windows Firewall (at least, all the ones I tried), but the message remains. The problem is that I have to go through the process of joining the domain when I return to work.
    I'd like to be able to do is connect to the domain with the account of work and at home, log on to the local computer and have full administrator rights (as a note, I've also noticed some restrictions file I could not go beyond, but it is secondary). What can I do to achieve this?

    The short answer is Yes, we can do it... but... I know that if I had this request made of me, my answer would be no because it is a company owned machine. Unless he was a great boss, of course, but even then, I'd probably push.

    I hope this helps.

  • SD/HC cards not detected on my laptop Acer X54C with the Windows 7 operating system

    I used to be able to read cards SD/HC 16 gig on my Acer X54C not lately. I use a Sony stick in the same location, but not my SD cards which can do? I reinstalled the drivers for ACER with no luck.  As a professional photographer, I can not load my pictures, Marty...

    Original title: seven stop reading my SD/HC cards on my acer laptop computer x54c. I have re-installed drivers from Acer. no luck

    I suggest that you try to update the BIOS of https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X54C/#support_Download and ask ASUS if the problem is not resolved.

    Your problem is with the drivers, not ASUS hardware or Windows.
