How can I stop Windows Update restart my computer in Windows 7 Home Premium?
While I don't mind Windows Update automatically updates from my PC, view it force a reboot when I am connected causes a problem. I currently have WU configured to perform updates to 03:00, and when it's over, if to do a reboot, I'm not here to tell him to wait. I'd rather leave time settings as they are and simply disable the auto restart, opting instead for WU to let me know that he needs to restart the PC. I found ways to do this on XP and Vista, including registry changes and changes to group policy. However, the registry is obviously a little different, so the keys do not exist compared to what I found, and since I am running Home Premium I have no gpedit.
Where in the registry can I make a change so I do not data lost when WU resets my computer at night?
Another way to do it without hacking the registry, which can be scary for some users), is to follow the instructions on the following Web site:
http://weblogs.ASP.NET/jgalloway/archive/2006/02/11/438009.aspx
I stuck in the main rooms, in the cases where the link is dead (but not nice photo well):
- Click Start-> Run (or Vista and 7 just press the windows ORB)
- Type: gpedit.msc
- Expand Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update
- Double-click on "to demand no auto restart for automatic updates installations".
- Select 'Active', then OK. Close the group policy configuration program.
This should stop it autorestarting.

How can I get Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - Bit?
I decided to install Windows 7 on my computer for the 30 day free trial, but am now regretting it. I don't have the money to buy the product officially, so I want to reinstall my windows vista. I have the drive, but when I try to install the computer says that this version of windows is not compatible with it. How can I get my Windows Vista to install?
Also, I currently have windows 7 Home premium. It is a 32-bit operating system and is running on Service Pack 1. The version of windows that I am wanting to return is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
I can't make the method for using the windows.old as my uncle decided to remove after installation of windows. I have 13, but even, I knew it was a bad idea. In any case, I would really help with this question.
Ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit is a single proposal for a NEW facility.
You can boot from the DVD and erase your old installation (wipe, from scratch, all not saved disappeared and everything must be installed manually - including drivers for hardware devices and software you have installed now) and install Windows Vista x 64.

So, I bought this laptop MSI FX600. It had Windows 7 Home premium OA (OEM I guess). It also contains a recovery partition.
After awhile, I had to reinstall windows, so I downloaded an iso of windows, put it on a USB key and reinstalled. but the product key doesn't work though I should be able to use it because it is not used by any other computer. How can I reinstall windows and activate with the product key OEM on the bottom of the laptop? somehow the recovery partition no longer works, so that will not help either. Also, where can I download the iso right for reassembly?too bad that I already fixed it. I installed the version English, but anyway my laptop only supports the Dutch version. Thank you for your abundant answers.

How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?
I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.
For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".
I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.
I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

Hello
There are different methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact the manufacturer of your computer, eMachines and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
http://www.eMachines.com/EC/en/us/content/home
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:

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.
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.
