• How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

  I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

  Hello

  Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

  They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

  You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

  Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

  The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

  And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.

  Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

  Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.

  http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/AP/shared/support/DellCare/en/contact_us?c=au&l=en&s=DHS

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

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

  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 case will determine which 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

  See you soon.

  PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:

  If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...

  You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.

  If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.

  If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

• How can I restore my laptop Windows Vista to allow me to move my photos...

  My neighbour who took the week last to mess with my Windows Vista laptop and did a disc defrag with a bunch of other things that I don't have any

  idea of what it does? She stole the handle when I asked politely to restore my pc, so there is no way of knowing me now what she did :(  Thank God, thanks to your site I was able to restore my icons and can now see my photos instead of empty folders! My question is now,

  When I download pictures, a window opens which used to give me an option (Edit) move my photos that I download the folder of my choice. I don't have this option on this window. All it shows is "Organize", "Views", "Slideshow" and "Burn". Any chance to get this window with the option to move my photos into different folders? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

• Can I upgrade my computer Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit with the specs of my computer?

  Here's a question. I want to upgrade my pc to a 32-bit - 64-bit, 120-750 hdd hard drive and the RAM to 4gbs. is it possible for a 32-bit processor, 512 MB RAM oringally vista home 120hdd?

  original title: everything just curious...

  Hello

  Check with your system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) to see if your computer
  can run Windows 7. If so check to see if it can run 64-bit which has higher minimum
  requirements than 32-bit. Finally check to see if the hardware upgrades that you make will be
  work in this computer. Don't forget if you spend a lot of money on upgrades, you may have
  but could a new computer for the same price. And then you'd have two systems.

  32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions

  64-bit support
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/features/64-bit-support.aspx

  Run the Upgrade Advisor, and check with the center of compatibility for your key features. Also
  some system manufacturers have the online help and information for the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - run this http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

  Also check the Compatibility Center
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

  To see if you can run XP, Vista, or Windows 7 64-BIT, you will need to check with the system
  manufacturer if it is 64-bit capable. Are there drivers 64-bit for all devices? To run 64-bit you
  need 64-bit drivers (and the system must be able to run this version of Windows 64-bit).

  I hope this helps and happy holidays!

• How can I run a program Windows Vista Windows 7?

  How can I run a window vista program in a window 7?

  Many programs of Vista will install and work without problems under Windows 7. If you find difficulties try compatibility mode:

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows .

  You can also check the compatibility of programs on the publishers program Web site or here:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win7/CompatCenter/Home .

  Also, specific 64-bit programs will not work on 32-bit Windows (regardless of whether it is Windows Vista or Windows 7, etc.). Most, but not all, 32-bit programs will run on 64-Bit Windows. For more information. Please see:
