How can I remove Windows 8 Preview Release and reinstall Windows Vista?
I had accidentally Windows 8 Preview Release. I need to go back to my old screen.
I've been using Windows Vista. This afternoon, after that my grandson was at the computer, I found that I was in a consumer Preview 8 Win. I need Vista in my program.
Hello
You need to reinstall Vista.
Vista not a program; It is an operating system that supports the delivery of programs.
Windows 8 is a later tested Windows operating system.
Here are the various ways 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 discs, if you have never received a recovery disk when you purchased your computer, or you're made recovery disk...
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
Installation of Windows 8 could destroy this option of relocation:
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.
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 '

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 can I remove Windows Vista in reduced with no start button functionality?
My older nephew of ten year and his friend decided to install his copy of friends of Windows Vista on my laptop, I don't know. They used a Windows Anytime Upgrade disc. He is now in reduced without a start button functionality mode. He also says that he is not a genuine copy. I tried to access internet explorer, but it continues to tell me that the pages do not respond and to wait or kill pages. At this point, I would really just uninstall that copy of Vista. I had Windows XP on the laptop, is it possible that I can return to the use of this?

Yes, there is a way.
System Restore will not do anything
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop and getting them to send you the xp recovery disk to reinstall xp if you do not have a xp cd
If you have not a cd of xp do a clean reinstall of xp

How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon?
How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon? It seems pretty ugly and useless. There is already an icon of battery-plus-card used to determine the level of battery and charging status...
Moderator edit: matched subject to content.
Hi thang_nguyen!
Another alternative is to double-click the battery icon and when Power Manager opens, click on Advanced Options > Options and uncheck the box "see the gauge of Power Manager in the bar then apply stains.
To access the Lenovo Power Manager when the gauge of Power Manager is disabled, right-click on the Windows icon / energy from the battery in the bar of tasks and you should see "Power Manager".
I hope this helps!
