HP compaq 6720 s windows vista basic, my system restore

What will happen if I restore my system to factory settings, and how do I do this?

Hello:

Before you plan to do this, you should back up the files you want to keep as a recovery of the system to factory settings will erase all content on your hard drive and reinstall the operating system and programs from your PC as the day you got it.

To start the system recovery, you start the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F11 key to start the Recovery Manager. Follow the instructions on the screen.

If this does not work, you will need to contact HP and order a set of recovery DVD.

    It came with a windows anytime upgrade disc ' ", he said can repair a current installation of windows, or install the operating system.

    Hard drive, I have currently in there has a version of vista business and the timer is exhausted, there also some conflicts pilot being that the hard drive has come to a laptop different and some aspects of drivers and other software refuse to be deleted.

  • Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?

    If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.

    What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.

    Thank you

  • Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

    Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

    After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Hello

    1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

    If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

    ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

    ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

    See the link below:
