How to fix a mistake when you have Vista and put XP on it?

This problem froze my computer. How to unload one or both to restore original back to hardrive?

Hello

Contact the manufacturer of the computer, and then ask you post a set of Vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system to a new State.

Also ask if you still have a partition to reinstall Vista from recovery. You may have removed while installing XP.

See you soon.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I see you've found an error "file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" when you click office and recent places.

    1. Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the full error message?

    I suggest you to report to us the screenshot of the Advanced window so that we can understand what exactly the situation.

    See:
    Use SkyDrive download collected files and post screen shot/image
    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itproui/thread/4fc10639-02dB-4665-993a-08d865088d65

    The average while you can try the following steps and check if the error reappears.

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Start the computer in safe mode and check the number.

    Some options, including the mode safe mode, start Windows in a limited State, where only the essential is started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as a possible cause.

    Follow this link provided below to start your computer in safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    Put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the KB article provided above.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    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.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    It will be useful.

    Trash this stage and re - register. It could be that new file dialog tries to assign a document profile that is damaged or is no longer present on your system. If this does not work, reset the Photoshop preferences. Press ctrl + alt + shift at the launch, confirm with the dialog box that appears if you did it correctly.

    Make sure to save all your other actions, brushes and so on first!

    Is it possible to go to the secure area in Business catalyst when you have a creative cloud subscription, or do I need a subscription of BC?

    Securezones on Web sites are nothing to do with your BC OR login your cloud login creation.

    A securezone on a website is to secure content and customer CRM with user name and password on this website with access and a login to access this content if they are assigned to one area.

    If you create an account of BC and you talk to develop sites using Adobe Business Catalyst, then it will be at some point to synchronize/merge prompt your creative cloud account.
