  Victorinox original title: my nephew put windows 7 on toshiba laptop, which had windows vista when I purchesed and there was no disk operations sold with the laptop, how can I get vista windows on here.

  can someone help me, myh computer did not come with all the disks to restore my windows vista or that applications where load on this toshiba satellite a305-56903. DOE anyone know anything I can do to solve this problem.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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

• Failure of the attempt to upgrade to Windows 10, can´t restore the previous operating system.

  Here's the thing: I tried to install the 10 Windows in a laptop Acer TravelMate 5742, he ran incredibly slow, beautiful instalation 3 hours or longer. But just when he was about to finish somethig happens and it tent to restore the operating system (windows 7 Enterprise.. original I think)
  It restarts and the windows welcome screen 7, I connect and BAM! a nice screen black and all I see is the mouse.

  Then I realized that the model was not really compatible with W10

  I tried to restore the system, but there was no restore points, but despite this, I get a message from antivirus who said it needed to update the virus database.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Have you tried to make the instructions provided by mySh4d0w? Are still meet the black screen when you connect?

  If you have already tried to run a system restore but restore points are not available, another thing you can do is to start your computer in Safe Mode and check the drivers and startup programs. To do so, please follow the steps listed below:

  1. Turn on your computer and then press and hold F8 key as your computer starts. This will bring you to the Advanced Boot Optionsscreen.
  2. Press the arrow key down until it highlights the Safe Mode or Safe Mode with network and press enter.
  3. If you do not experience the black screen then on the Safe Mode, try to uninstall the graphics driver as it often causes the same scenario.
  4. Restart your computer and check if you are still affected by the same. If still the same, then try to disable startup programs by accessing the Safe Mode once more. In safe mode, press the Windows key + R > type msconfig > click OK. This will launch The System Configuration utility.
  5. Click on Startup tab > turn off or disable your startup programs > click OK > then restart your computer.

  Let us know how it goes.

• Want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system is restored.

  My laptop is preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic.  At the free launch Windows 10 I downloaded the same and after 2 months, the hard drive crashed.  The repair shop trying to fix formatting, but could not revive.  This is why I bought a new hard drive and repair charge shot Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  Now, I want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system has been restored.  When I posted the question about how to solve this problem, I was told to try the download by way of USB/ISO file.

  Now my question is that

  one) can I reload Windows 7 Home basic as I have the product key?

  (b) I can then download Windows 10 according to the normal procedure?

  I'm not tech savvy, afraid to download files in USB and then load into the laptop, so this question.

  Concerning

  S Subramanian

  Original title: Windows 7 Home basic

  You can directly download Windows 10. Windows 7 complete edition currently installed is not genuine.

  When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows, what happened is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

  Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

  Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

  Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.

• How to configure vmware workstation and server Suse 10 as operating system prompted

  Hi, I installed vmware workstation 6.5 on vista and Suse 10 as guest operating system.  I keep Suse as default (without any network configuration).  I modified the default vmware gateway 192.168.2.1 keep even as window by default gateway settings. I also changed to the subnet to 192.168.2.0.  The IP address is replaced by 192.168.2.128. IP address of my Vista is 192.168.2.4 and DNS Server 4.4.4.1 and 4.4.4.2.

  I tried to ping between host and guest, and comments to the host, but still received the error of "destination host unreachable". It does not matter using host only or NAT mode.

  All Documents available? All advice? What do I have to configure Suse network. ?

  Thank you

  If the IP address of comments has the correct value you use VMnet8, not VMnet1. It should work, but this isn't the network "host-only '. That's what I need the .vmx file for. If this indicates that the virtual NETWORK adapter is configured as 'host-only' the IP of comments is wrong. It must be 192.168.17.x in this case.

  However... try to get a ping of the IP address, not name. Depending on the configuration you have posted, you should try to ping the 192.168.30.1 customer and 192.168.30.128 host. Don't forget that cannot work if your client is configured to use instead of VMnet1 VMnet8. If it is really configured to use VMnet1 you must change the IP of comments that I wrote above.

  If the host and the guest have active firewall disable them for testing purposes.

  Furthermore, by default, VMware installs a DHCP for VMnet1 and VMnet8 service. So if this service is still running on your host computer, you can assign the DHCP client and he gets the appropriate automatically for the network IP address.

  I don't no how to open the *.vmx in text format.  I noticed that vmnet1 IP address on the side of the BACK is 192.168.17.1 but side comments, it is established as 192.168.20.0.

  It is a text file. Just open in an editor and copy and paste it or attach the file to your next post.

• How to free up space in a drive by deleting files hidden from the previous operating system?

  Original title: my vista home c drive now have very low free space.there is some files hidden from the previous operatnig system busy space that are useless.how can I delete these files?

  my laptop is slow due to the very low free space in c drive. How can I remove the unnecessary files from c drive or increase the volume of drive c?

  Download a program like TreeSize Free (http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/) to see where the files take up a lot of space.  Be aware that deleting files without knowing what you're doing can cause your system to be unable to restart or cause instability can so be sure you know that you are deleting before you start.  There is no way to extend one hard disk other than to replace it, in which case you need to copy all the files from your old drive to the new.

• How do I get the screen savers the previous operating system running

  Hello

  I would like to be able to run some old screensavers that come from Windows 98. Of all the screensavers Win98, some of them do not work, but others who have separate .dll files do not work in my new OS. I tried to copy their files .scr so their .dll files in C:\Windows\System32, but when I try to run I get a blank screen.

  I would appriciate help to be able to run them, or otherwise please could you let me know how to get a compatible version of these same screensavers. Screensavers are as follows:

  Screensavers Win98:

  Baseball. SCR
  dangerous creatures.SCR

  jungle. SCR
  Leonardo da vinci.scr
  Mystery.SCR
  nature. SCR

  the era.scr of gold
  Travel.SCR

  I would appreciate your help.

  Kind regards

  Ray333

  I'm sorry, but you can't do it natively. Also be extremely careful on getting questionable sites such as Freeze.com and Screensavers.com screen savers that will install malicious software on your computer.

  If you decide to try a third party software to do this, it would be wise to image on your computer first with something like Acronis True Image, so if you break Vista irrevocably you can quickly return to a system that works.

• Windows Update takes oone is the latest operating system?

  I have my computer set to do automatic updates, but often after them I have problems to get it to funtion as they did in the past.  The update knows what operating system I use, or he puts on the points to a more recent version, like Windows 7 when my computer works only on Windows XP?

  I'm sorry I misunderstood your message from Missy. You are right that IE 9 will not be able to be installed on Windows XP.

  In regards to preview before print at this point you may need to contact the manufacturer of the printer to see if there is a problem with their software or plugin work with IE
