  Hi shiva55,

  Check to see if the following is useful.

  Method 1: Try to perform a disk cleanup and check if it helps.

  Delete files using disk cleanup

  Some of the files you are referring are system files that are required by the operating system, and you will not be able to remove them. But there may be malware infection as well.

  Method 2: Perform an online scan to find any infections on the computer.

• Where can I get a free copy of Windows Vista Home Premium for a laptop Sony Vaio I have my product key, but need to the floppy?

  where can I get a free copy of windows vista edition Home premium? I tried to restore my laptop without success. I think I need a copy of the installation disc so that I can reinstall it with my current product key

  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

  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.

• After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Original title: Vista Activation issue

  After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

  Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

  and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

  such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

  I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

  It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

  I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

  Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

  I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

  It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

• Can I get a new copy of Windows Vista?

  Hello

  I'm fixing a PC from one of my friends, unfortunately it has formatted the C drive (I guess he thought it was a good idea?). Anyway, he doesn't have his original copy of windows vista that came with the PC, but the product key is on the side of the tower. Is there a way to get a new copy of vista that works with the product key?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  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.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Can I sell my copy of Windows Vista retail?

  Hi, I have a full commercial copy of Windows Vista.  Having just upgraded to Windows 7 I would like to sell my copy of Vista.

  My installation of Vista was activated several times (I tend to reinstall my OS frequently enough).  It is no longer installed on any machine anywhere.

  What should I take special measures (e.g. to inform Microsoft) until I sell on my copy of Vista?  Or I'm ok just sell what with drive, box, manual, and CD key?

  Hi Kaporikawn,

  Thanks for posting. If you preferred the full versions of these two media you can sell the license to someone else. They call activation to finish it however.

  I hope this helps!
