Hey GopherDave

When you replace a motherboard you normally have to reinstall the operating system due this driver problem you mention

do a clean install of the vista operating system

  • How can I uninstall Vista and put Xp back on__

    How can I uninstall Vista and put Xp on, Windows Installer could help to put Xp back on?

    General information about replacing Vista with XP:

    A. on a computer OEM (HP, Sony, etc.):

    1. go to the OEM Web site and find the XP drivers for your specific model computer. If there is no XP drivers, you can not install XP. End of the story. If there are drivers, download them and store them on a CD - R or USB thumbdrive. you will need after installing XP.

    2. check with the OEM - either since their technical support site, either as - to see if you will cancel your warranty if you do this. If void you your warranty, you make the decision.

    3. If the OEM supports XP on the machine, call them and see if you can qualify to demotion and ask them to send you a XP restore disc. This is by far the easiest and best way to put XP on the machine.

    4. if XP is supported on the machine but OEM does not have a disk to restore XP for you, understand that you will need to buy a copy of XP to your favorite online or brick/mortar store retail.

    5. also understand that you will need to do a fresh install of XP, so if you have any data you want back first.

    6. If none of the above applies to you because you can't run XP which return (see point 1 above), the computer of the machine and buy a running XP instead.

    B. on a generic/home computer built (of the non - OEM company)-you will need the drivers for all your hardware. See the second link below for more details:

  • How can I restart my laptop?

    How can I restart my laptop, so I can start again from the beginning with my laptop... because I have no space and virus so I just want to start more so please if you can explain how can I reboot it so that I can know it would be a great help... .thanks

    You want to do is put to how you bought it(out-of-the-box)

    You don't say if you have a Vista DVD or not.

    If you do, go to Setup/Bios boot/market by pressing F2 or DEL depending on your computer and set the DVD to be 1st in the boot order, restart with DVD in this disc, load files, delete the existing Vista partition, create the new partition, formatt, install, etc..

    If Recovery DVD a manufacturer supplied with the computer, follow the instructions to restart via the same method of boot above order.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    If the computer manufacturer did not include Vista drive/s, there should be a recovery hard disk Partition.

    It's the way they do now, most of the time. We are supposed to do the recovery disks it ourselves, with the instructions included in the software of the manufacturer installed in the start menu > all programs.

    At the bottom of the splash Screen at startup/power on, there is usually a number key, F10 or F11, hit to start the recovery process, in order to resume the factory (out of the box) standards.

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    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.

    Each manufacturer has their own way of doing a recovery to factory standards.

    Read the manual that came with your computer, consult their Web site on how - to - recovery or email/phone for instructions.

    And save all of your data before you do, as a resettlement wipe everything from your hard drive...
