  Hello

  You mean put how much you bought your computer when it was new?

  You will need to backup all your data, but unfortunately, the programs you have installed will need to be reinstalled from the original media that they came on (CD, etc.).

  Please read these methods to reinstall Vista:

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  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:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  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.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  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.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• How to clean my computer without recovery DVD?

  I want to clean my computer because I can't figure what's wrong with it and why it won t connect to my hotel wireless internet.

  I'm on my other laptop now, and it connects fine to the hotel. I have never removed a computer with Vista and I tried restoring the system like 50 times, but it won t do a complete restoration. I'm 6 hours away from home and my recovery disks are there.

  Does anyone have an idea what I can do or is there another way to clean my computer without a disc? I don't know when I'm home and I really need my Toshiba to work of m.

  I don't know what is the problem with the WIFI but, as Feliks have already written, perhaps it is just problem with WLAN settings.
  Please do not forget that the WLAN card is activated correctly and compare the WLAN settings on two laptops. They must be identical.

  If you don't care if the computer is operational, for example, you are going to recycle, download Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN), create a CD boot from that CD and run DBAN.  This will erase your hard drive information safely.

  Download DBAN--> http://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/files/dban/dban-2.2.8/dban-2.2.8_i586.iso/download link

  Use ImgBurn (free) to create a bootable CD from the ISO file downloaded--> http://www.imgburn.com/

  Instructions for using ImgBurn--> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/61-how-to-write-an-image-file-to-a-disc-using-imgburn/

  DBAN is quite explicit (screenshots HERE).  The main thing you have to do is to make sure that your computer starts on the CD instead of the hard drive.  You can have a menu that you can access by pressing an F just after power, or you may have to re-enter the BIOS (Setup) configuration utility, press an F just after power (in general, or ), to define the "boot order" of your computer to boot from the CD before the hard drive.

• How to clean the polymorphic infections

  How to clean my computer polymorphic infections?

  Hello

  1. do you get an error message or error code?

  2. you remember changes to the computer before the show?

  Professional protection antiviruss can use bait files to study the behavior of a virus and evaluate detection methods. This is particularly useful when the virus is polymorphic. In this case, we can do the virus infect a large number of files of the bait. Infected files can be used to test whether an anti-virus detects all versions of the virus. A polymorphic virus infects files with an encrypted copy of itself.

  You can download Microsoft Safety scanner, which provides on-demand scan, and remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software. It works with your current antivirus software.

  See the link below to download Microsoft Safety scanner on the system.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note:

  The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Warning:

  The data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  It will be useful.

  Reformatting a hard drive should be considered a last resort to solve a problem with a computer system.

  2. Close all programs.
  3. Click Start , click principally made programs , select System Restore and click on the PC recovery .

  NOTE: any software "trial offer" has been included in the original factory image, it will be reinstalled, but it won't work (the test period will have expired).  If so any trial software is a security antivirus software or others, before connect you to the Internet, you must uninstall (using an uninstall tool provided by the manufacturer if available antivirus software) and then install your own anti-virus software.  So, you should download the uninstallers necessary and installers (or buy the software on CD) using another machine before starting this project.

• How to clean the hard drive of the computer

  I need to know how to erase my hard drive to get rid of a virus

  Hello Nguyen,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

  I understand you want to wipe your hard drive to remove any infection by the virus from your computer.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. When you say 'I need to wipe my hard drive to get rid of the virus', do you mean you want to remove the virus from your computer or to completely erase your hard drive by erasing all the data on it?
  2. You want to clean install a new copy of Windows on your computer after removing all your data from the hard drive?

  If you do not want to delete all your data and do not want to clean your computer of viruses, you can scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Download and run Microsoft security scanner from the link below.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  However, if you want to completely clean your computer, just remove the hard drive and pure, install a fresh copy of Windows on your hard drive, you can read the article below to do so.

  How to perform a new installation of Windows?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/clean-install

  Important note: Perform a clean installation will mean that all your data currently on your hard disk will be permanently lost. It is strongly recommended to have all your important data saved enough on any driver external before performing one of the suggestions above.

  Hope this information is useful. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
