At last thnx a lot

Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

    How can I get Vista "Windows Mail" to check mail using my connection local (LAN) internet?

    It allows only wants to "connect" using dial-up, wireless or wired ISP (type PPP) requiring a UID and password, of which none seem to allow me to select a LAN (ISP) simple (without a password).

    I know that the Ethernet connection works Ok, because I can use it with a standard Web browser; only the mail tool can't seem to see or use.

    Help.

    In Windows Mail, go to select Tools, accounts, your account email, properties, connection.  It shows for the connection?  You
    should leave this setting not selected, in which case Windows Mail will use the IE connection uses.
     
    In addition, under Tools, Options, connection, the first checkbox must be checked, and the second box unchecked.
     
    If everything which withdraws, but you still have the problem, the account may be damaged.  Remove account, restart Windows Mail,.

  • Difficult problem upgrading Vista/Windows 7 for anyone who dares to try to help me to solve it. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS!

    My computer is a few years old, but has always been a good thing. I have a Gateway P6831FX laptop. It came with Vista pre-installed, but also many devices hardware upgrade card high quality graphics, monitor, sound system, etc. because it was built for the high-quality games.  Unfortunately, my OS system crashed and the computer did not come with recovery discs (gateway said that I should order the discs on their part and that I had to pay for them. Which shocked me because when I bought the computer I paid for a license to the BONE so you would think they would send the recovery discs I free).  However, I recently bought a disc to upgrade to windows 7 because I was planning on upgrading my system before it crashed.  So with a computer, I couldn't use, I thought that I had nothing to lose and I decided to try to load my system windows 7 on the computer.  I put the disc in the drive and load windows 7 with no problems at all.  I don't know if I've checked all the right boxes when he asked all sorts of questions, but my big computer worked when I was tired.  I had to go online and download the driver for the webcam to webcam would work once again and I lost all programs preloaded but other than that everything seems to work fine.  But then all of a sudden the sound no longer works.  I turned off the computer and turn it back on and the sound was back on.  But a few hours later, the noise stopped working again and it keeps going.  It is when I reboot it, but it is becoming a chore.  I decided that I would try to fix it and I went into the Device Manager and I discovered something to worry about. All original equipment upgraded in the computer is no longer registered.  All that was there was listed as generic devices Microsoft and number of manufacturer information and model said: not available. The monitor, for example, is listed as 'No generic PnP Monitor'.  Everything updated, so that I paid extra watch now simply known as generic peripheral windows (with a date of installation date that I loaded windows 7).

    Is there anyway to retrieve the updated materials and programs without having to order and pay for the vista recovery discs?  If I have to, I'll have to erase windows 7 then reload vista with recovery disks and then reload again the upgrade to windows 7?  However, one thing that baffles me is that when I pull my hard drive it shows that I have 2 here.  It shows 1 Partition (C) and (D) recovery so I think that my original vista system with the hardware upgraded and programs is still in my computer somewhere in the recovery disc (D) but I can not understand how to access and I tried.  And if for some reason any I can never access or recover, I would like at least to remove it because it takes up a ton of space on my hard drive.  If anyone can understand what I'm trying to say here, that's where somehow you can help me understand cela stuff?  Thank you for your time.

    Hello

    Gateway put a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from rather than providing records.

    It's the way it's done now and you are also supposed to make recovery disc from it, that you can not do until you reinstall Vista now.

    If the recovery Partition: D still works, we do not know as you have installation, etc. on this laptop.

    You need to try.

    Reinstall Vista > and then upgrade to Windows 7.

    .

    Here is the information on the bridge for learn you more about reinstalling Vista.

    Full factory for the gateway restore, which you will always be able to use...

    https://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml

    And once you reinstall Vista you go to the site of the bridge or from the hardware manufacturer (that you upgraded material initially) Support Web site > download drivers and software Section > equip your laptop model number or the hardware and operating system > and download the latest drivers for the notebook hardware.

    http://support.gateway.com/product/?cmpid=supportnav

    And also when Windows 7 is installed then you will need to go to this same site gateway or the hardware manufacturer (that you upgraded material initially) and download the latest Windows 7 drivers for it also.

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

    If the recovery partition is damaged ask gateway if they provide the disc of recovery for you.

    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 once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

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

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

    See you soon.

    p.s. That's what you should have done before you start the upgrade to Windows 7.

    Go to your laptop manufacturer's website and check if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
