  How can I get my vista back to factory settings

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  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 F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

• How can I get the quick menu to return to the factory settings, i.e. as a new installation?

  

  
  

  So, I upgraded from CS6 CC and I loaded a previous CS6 project which then in turn loaded my previous layout of the workspace. Now the quick menu disappears at the top when I'm in edit mode. No idea how to reset it to factory settings? the use of workspace > reset to saved the layout seems to be the only option that obviously doesn't work.

  Hi Karen,.

  • Go to Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/9.0/Profile and rename the Layouts folder [anything, say OldLayouts]
  • Restart Premiere Pro
  • It should be default layout

  NOTE: You will lose all your layouts custom

  Thank you

• How can I replace a compaq presario C762NR hard drive and reinstall windows?

  My friend brought me his computer and said that he would not start. I tried to boot into safe mode and normal mode and it would not work. It would simply flash a blue screen and restart. After you run a test it is determined that the hard drive has failed. A new laptop is not an option at this point.

  I bought a new hard drive and I ordered the HP recovery disk. What are the appropriate steps to complete this replacement?

  The computer is out of warranty and so is the hard drive. The computer has Windows Vista on it. The failed hard drive was 160 gb, 2.5 ", SATA 1.5 gb/s, 8 MB cache. The news is the same except that it is SATA 3 gb/s.

  This is my first time, replacing a hard drive. I'm confident about it, but I want to just make sure I do it correctly.

  Hello

  All you have to do after replacing the HARD drive is the following.

  Start Notepad and open the CD/DVD drive.  Insert the first disc of recovery.  Hold the power button until the laptop stops.  Press the power button to start the laptop that should now boot from the recovery disk and start the recovery process.

  Kind regards

• HP compaq presario cq60-215dx restore factory settings

  I am selling my computer compaq presario cq60-215dx laptop model and cannot figure out how to restore the factory settings. I tried a number of things... I pressed f9 to turn on the computer that has windows vista. Then I pressed ESC which lead me to the windows Boot Manager. It is said "to specify an advanced for this choice option, press f8." So I did and went up a list of the advanced startup options and 'repair your computer' is the one I clicked on because they say this option restores the system. Another menu came with the system recovery options, then I clicked on the full restoration of a windows PC with a description explaining that this will restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. I clicked on that and an error message came say that validates a backup location could not be found. Windows cannot find a backup on this computer. Set the backup hard drive or insert the final DVD of a backup set, then click Retry. What does that mean?

  Please, see performing a recovery of the system (Windows Vista) HP for instructions on performing a HP system on yyour computer recovery. If you have not created your HP recovery disks, you can do prior to the recovery. HP recovery disks are a Fail Safe incase something goes wrong.

  Hi realpommy. If you encounter problems with HDMI output and let Windows determine the pilots, who could be part of the issue.  First of all try to install these Windows 7 drivers provided by HP for your laptop: NVIDIA nForce Chipset MCP77MV graphics drivers

  After installation and reboot, if you still have problems with video output look in Device Manager, to ensure that there is no error, or "unknown devices".  The section "Understanding of the symbols of error Device Manager" in this document:
  Information from the Device Manager in Windows 7 to illustrate some possible errors.

  If there is no error in Device Manager, do through these documents for more information and the last for troubleshooting ideas:
  Connection of a monitor, projector or a TV (Windows 7)
  Overview of HDMI and DVI for PC connections

  HDMI display resolution and problems of his (Windows 7 and Vista)

  Let me know if it helps.

• Problem with the Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX

  Hello, I'm having a problem with my NEW Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX mother. Every time it boots up vista and I run internet explorer, I get a strange blue screen which exports a file memory and reboots.

  I have the feeling that this might have been caused by a virus, but I can't do something, because Vista can't reformat long for some reason any.

  I tried a hard test in my motherboard and he said that there is something wrong with my hard drive.

  I don't know what is happening, right now I'm in safe mode trying to find viruses that Nod32 does not detect everything.

  Can someone tell me how I can get either the Windows XP Discs to work at startup (which, for some reason, they do not), or an alternative to a long format?

  Is there a way to fix this without reformatting? There's almost nothing on this laptop anyway so I'm always willing to do. A regular format has done nothing to solve the problem, I did it with Ubuntu and it did a quick format, but I had no problem with Ubuntu. Then I reinstall Vista and I am constantly having problems with a blue screen of death.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  The Chemich does not exist

  If you want to do a reinstall of Vista then press F11 continuously during the boot upward. This will bring you in Recovery Options were you can choose to restore the system in the same State as when it was purchased. But if, as you suggested, is that a problem of hard drive reinstall won't help.

• Compaq presario cq60-212us: which SATA revision is supported?

  Hello. I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive and weighing various options. I need to know the data transfer speed of the Compaq Presario CQ60-212US limits and who review SATA, it supports. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  The manual says it's mcp77. The mcp78 can be configured with DDR2 or DDR3, but the slot dictates how memory can be installed and yours is DDR2. On Sisoft go to physical discs/transfer Modes and active transfer Modes Support and providing information on the controller.

• Keyboard and trackpad which does not Compaq presario CQ60

  Help!

  My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop do not react and do not have external devices to see if it is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Mode safe as the keyboard is unresponsive, however it allows me to type my password to access vista! I think I just lock the computer, but do not know how unlock, various forums have specified relocation drivers etc, but I am unable to do this without functional keyboard and do not know how if I pressed a key combination that caused it. I don't know if it's a problem of Vista or Compaq/HP.

  Immensely from any help appreciated!

  as far as I know, if you can type your password on the login screen, then the keyboard works, if the problem appears after the connection or it will appear when you are on your desktop screen, it may be a problem of operating system or a problem with corruption of user account

  the keyboard would be a hardware failure, if when you turn on your nb, there will be no ligts on the keyboard will make the capslock key does not illuminate or does not at all as long as you turn on the nb

  for the touchpad, try to check if its or disable... If there is a light orange above the touch pad then sound off, toggle the switch the light to turn to blue...

  so before anything else... TRY THIS FIRST!

  1. remove the battery

  2 disconnect the power adapter

  3. no power supply at all, press in and hold the button for 1 min... Be sure that it will be 1 min...

  technically, we call this HARD RESET... This process would free electricity static that could be included on the power button spout these electrostatic charges sometimes causes harware malfunctionalities...

  then it this step does not work... do this...

  try to go into safe mode by continuously pressing F8 during startup (press F8 when you see the hp invent screen), then you will be directed to advance startup options... Choose last known good config... Then, it will boot to the last known good setting...

  Please let me know if this does not work...

  Otherwise, ' choose repair your computer "on the start options... Choose the American keyboard layout... so if asked for a user name and password, you can change the administrator username username and then put your password... If you do not use any password leave it blank... then choose Startup Repair...

  Please let me know if this does not work...

  I hope this helps...

• Compaq Presario CQ60: Do not connect computer user

  cannot get into my laptop.

  Turn on computer and upcoming stops: the user profile service has not the log on.

  User profile cannot be loaded.

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  Hi @doublesix66 ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question about your Compaq Presario CQ60-210US laptop and receiving a message from the user profile service failed the log on. Here is a fix for it from Microsoft. It seems that the profile you are trying to connect to a file corrupted in it.

  You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop. This helps others correct this error message.

  When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.
