Original title : restoration

my computer crashed yesterday had to know how to do a restore.

Hi WalterTorres,

1 did you do any hardware changes or software on your computer before the system failure?

2. what operating system is installed on your computer?

You can try to run the system restore to revert to the previous state when it was working fine:

a. click Start, type system restore in the Search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

d. click Finish.

Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    Original title: turn on restoration of the system in windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit edition

    Hello

    Before posting my question that I searched for information on how to start the system restore of this forum.  However, after reading several posts I'm not sure what to do.  A post suggests accessing the system of Protection, by selecting a drive and then clicking on configure and selecting one of the options.  In this case I'm not sure which one to choose: recovery or C.  For the moment I turned on recovery (that was turned off) and chosen for the restoration of the points, but I feel that this can be a problem.

    Another answer suggested turning on the shadow copy of Volume in the systems that I did too.  Can you please give me step by step instructions on how to run properly on the system restore.  Thank you.

    I do not understand how my other computer (vista) I would like to do system restore to factory settings without using discs and what a custom?

    Hello

    You do not use the Vista System Restore feature to put your computer to the factory settings.

    System Restore updates only your computer settings to an earlier date.

    How to do a restore to factory settings, ask your computer manufacturer.

    You would either find a way to start the process under programs > then the manufacturer of the computer software > look it up it > or you will need to press some keys at startup.

    It would be either F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them how to do it because it's their recovery process.

    Or ask them to send you a set of Vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    See you soon.

    p.s. Save your files as all data will be lost normally when you perform a restore to the factory settings

  • Unable to connect to the internet after the system restore and Windows Installer (Vista)

    Hello

    I have recently restored the whole system on the HP to my sister a virus that I was unable to remove it manually.
    The system restore went well until it has reached the point where he was going to reinstall Windows. The computer just turned itself off and the software installation was not complete. I am able to reinstall again. I must therefore hold the CTRL + alt + delete, go to Task Manager, click on audit.exe and complete the process to turn on the computer. But I can't do anything with it in safe mode. The main problem is: I can't connect to the internet! Even if the network discovery is on it will not find my wireless network. What can I do on the internet? And is it possible to install Windows again without the CD?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to perform a new installation of window 8.1?

    Hello

    (If this is important), I use an Alienware X 51 R2 with the following specifications:

    Intel i5 4440U 3.3 GHz processor

    AMD R9 270 2 GB

    8 GB RAM

    1 TB HARD DRIVE

    Basically, my alienware has had many recent accidents before I made my own window installation 8.1 via the USB port. I thought it will run more fast and smoother after I have done, but here are a few problems:

    1 secure Boot product still "no error of Boot Drives Found" as soon as I turn on the computer. So I have to disable Secure Boot.

    2 application opening time is still as slow as before the clean install (i.e. Chrome)

    So, is there a procedure step by step on how to perform a new installation of window 8.1? I want this PC to match at the beginning when I first bought.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
