  Hello

  You will need to contact your computer manufacturer for instructions on how to make recovery disks to reinstall Vista.

  It's their recovery process, not Microsoft.

  There are a few guidelines below on where to look information as well as other means to reinstall Vista.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Vista professional, comprehensive and company have the opportunity to make a backup image of the computer, but they make a copy of the existing Vista operating system, including any problems, that is not suitable for what you want to do.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are several 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:

  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

• How to create folders to organize my favorites on Firefox for Android?

• How can I get Vista navigation pane to only work for a specific folder view?

  I am running Windows Vista classic folders. Significant irritation is that I want to have the navigation pane enabled for the _only_ in my computer/Windows Explorer folder. I don't want that it activated for other folders with groups of icons for programs.

  But I find that when I turn it on for the first folder, it becomes activated for all. On the other hand, if I turn it off for a program icon folder, it is disabled for all files, including the Windows Explorer.

  So, how to customize the navigation pane to make it work for a folder specific _only_?

  The other models are for music or photos or videos or Documents (and I can't remember the fifth).  They show the different columns and present different data sorted differently.  I don't think they will solve your problem.

  Some general information here is on models and how to set any records that might be of interest to you (but will not solve your problem, I think):

  Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

  Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

  Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

  I hope this helps in your situation.

• How to create a recovery without a disc writer drive

  I want to create a recovery disc for my 13 edge that has no internal disc burner.

  Unfortunately rescue & recovery does not offer to create an ISO collection that I could then burn it on another computer.

  I have an external DVD drive, but no writer. So, I'd be able to boot from a CD of restoration if I could create a.

  I inserted a USB and Rescue and Recovery can write to it, but in my experience USB keys are lost or overwritten easily so I prefer a CD as recovery media.

  So my question is:

  Is it possible to make a key USB bootable recovery CD, or perhaps create an ISO with R & R recovery disk?

  Or can I just burn the stick as a data CD?

  ADD ON:

  I just tried to test booting from the USB stick recovery created but it did not work

  I was able to select the USB key to the F12 prompt, but the screen stays white with a underscore cursor in the upper left corner. After 2 minutes, I gave up and started normally new so I don't always have a recovery media.

  This can help make the bootable flash drive.

  Note, you can set the partition active after creating a media recovery - just use the command 'active', but not 'clean', 'create' or 'format '.
