  Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

  Hello Bob w. NY

  Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

  As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

• Roxio Easy Media Creator 7: How can I get this program in Windows Vista?

  I recently got a new computer, how can I get this program in Windows Vista.

  Since you are not the original poster - and this thread is since September 2009, almost a year ago - I don't know anything about your computer or its issues. If you do not have the same problem as the OP and try to install an older version of Roxio Easy Media Creator in Vista, then the answer is the same for you: buy a current version program that will do what you want. Scanning is managed by your printer/scanner software. How manipulate recorded images is then up to you to do some image editing programs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• How can I get or create a windows vista recovery disc? My system restore does not work!

  Attempted to purchase the HP recovery Dics... Has said that Vista is obsolete!

  You can read the product key on the COA at the base / side of your system? If so go here "Microsoft Downloads wiki":

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/Microsoft-Windows-and-Microsoft-Office-standalone-downloads.aspx
  Follow the instructions to make a USB bootable stick for Vista, and then select 32-bit or 64-bit according to availability of the driver and the amount of RAM you have etc.
  You will need your key and you will need to activate by phone. I give full instructions doing so here 'a clean install of Windows Vista/7 wiki:
  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/1434.aspx  
  The clean install above applies to a Dell system; that you do not use a Dell when I say press F2 or F12 (step 6), you'll probably need to press another button. In step 4 you will need to go to go on the site of HP opposes the Dell one. Step 11 ignore any mention of specific software Dell mentioned however the recommended software mentioned is always useful.
  Note for Vista I only did a Dell via this method, and it worked fine. I couldn't try all other systems because the COA is faded and product keys were unrecognizable. For Windows 7, however I did 2 HPs through this method and many valleys.
  You can also look on eBay for reinstallation of Vista HP DVDs, but they can be hard to find.

• MySearch something called dial has replaced my previous setiings, homepage etc, how do I get rid of it and were back to the way things?

  Adobe asked to update on my computer, so I said yes, but anyway in the process of this "Mysearchdial managed to settle. I think I've especially got rid of it, but it resets my home page and the new tab page always "mysearchdial" in the lower left corner. How to get back to my previous settings prior to this infection?

  Laurent, is not a problem. You can try things later.

  It seems that MySearchDial is always enabled in your list of Extensions. You must remove that.

  • Click on the button Waterfox, go to modules > Extensions
  • Click Remove to MySearchDial

  If it still does not work, you can create a new profile and transfer all your bookmarks/passwords / etc in the new profile. Because you have little if any installed extensions and they are easily installable. I'll put your extension below to download after installing the new profile

• Satellite A665-S5170 reset to the factory settings

  I bought this laptop in February 2011 from best buy, I went on holiday in April, my father at the House-sit to the left and he used my computer. Said there are infestations of virus and its 'techno' friend installed linux mint OS on my computer and I want to not go.

  I want my Windows 7 return but I did not because recovery disks that I did not have too long and has not had the chance (don't wait no not my father to do something like that for her either). I know that there is a separate partition for the system restore in some satellite systems, can I access that without Windows on my computer? It is not double started, it's right linux and I can't STAND it. I also can't afford to pay for the new installation discs. Help, please!

  I can't use any of my programs, and I don't like the alternatives. I want to go back to Windows! Thanks for any help, it's GREATLY appreciated!

  EDITED TO add: since installing Linux, my keys do not light up or work, but I think that they can work with windows.

  Hi NaniApo,

  Usually, if another operating system is installed, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more but you can try holding down the Zero key as Akuma writes.

  If it doesn't work your only option to restore factory settings is Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t have it order a service allowed in your country. On Toshiba site is a list with all FSA.

  I read that you can not afford to pay for a new disk recovery, but on the other side, I have to tell you didn't had the time to read the manual and you have to pay for that mistake. If I buy a new computer, TV or other media device I still have time to read the user's manual first and everyone knows how important it is. ;)

• Aspire E-531 boots but Windows 8 will not load. I need to get back to the factory settings

  I don't have the D2D option in BIOS > hand - so I can't activate it :-)

  and go to F10 when booting has no effect.

  When I look at the disk (on the computer) I see drives C: and RECOVERY (Y)

  so I was wondering what to do next?

  Thanks, I tried this method of "brute force" by running GParted - but there is 'no screen available' when GParted loaded (!), so I couldn't go any further

  However trying the different (Legacy vs UEFI) BIOS settings I had the D2D option to appear.

  After you have enabled the option and AltF10 I entered a custom screen set - must be the entity "Windows Boot Manager" with - and I have the options to restore the computer. FACT!

  My first brush with UEFI... Thank you

• I am trying to reset windows xp back to the original settings, but miss me the winnt32.exe file. Where can I go to get the download

  I don't have a winnt32.exe in the i386 folder. My computer behaves very strange sometimes. It drags, freezes and load things on that I do not click.

  You can download SP3 from HERECOMPUTER. Save it to your desktop. Use an extraction of files such as WnRar software to extract the service pack 3 you downloaded to extract the files in the C drive. Once the files have been extracted, click Start > run and paste the command below > click Ok. This should install the recovery console.

  C:\\i386\winnt32.exe cmdcons

  In addition, the i386 folder will contain the winnt32.exe file you requested.
