• I bought a HP Compaq Desktop System used ny. Back-up/recovery files were deleted. ------I have no disk to re - install Vista now what do I do?

  I bought my HP Compaq Desktop System used.  The backup and recovery filed had all been removed.  Needless to say, it crashed, HARD.  I have no file or a disk of re - install, what should I do next.

  Hello

  "It is your only hope."

  Get the HP recovery discs isn't your only hope.

  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 '

  Reformatting a hard drive should be considered a last resort to solve a problem with a computer system. The hard drive can be reformatted and reinstalled the operating system, using the system PC Suite hard disk recovery. Reformatting the hard drive will overwrite all data on the disk.

• Bought a used iPhone 4S about six months ago. Not configured for all files huuuuge icloud. Only mail (which I cut on a regular basis), but no pictures. Why do I get the message that my storage is full? Why do I pay Apple for storage?

  I bought a used iPhone 4S about six months ago. Got an AT & T plan with data. Not upgrade to iOS 9.3 I read that it wasn't a good idea for older phones. Implement iCloud for ONLY mail and SMS. No pictures. I have cut my weekly mail.

  Now, I get a notice that iCloud is already full, and I have to pay for more storage. Why? There is nothing on the phone! I also have an iPad3 and a banal ASUS PC, which is where I store my photos and my photos. How would you complete the storage? Why do I pay Apple more money? They do not have enough?

  Go to settings/general/storage and use iCloud. Click on storage management in the ICLOUD section. It will tell you exactly how your iCloud-storage space is affected.

• I bought a used iPhone 4S and erased and the previous owner had his account iCloud out of it, but I can't yet to complete the set up because he says sim card is not supported?

  I bought a used iPhone 4s to a friend of mine, and they took their offshore and all iCloud account as they were supposed too. It still won't let me complete the set up it says that my card SIM of Fido is not supported, but the last time I saw the information of the carrier when the person that I bought the phone he said 15.5 Fido I think. Do I need to phone apple or what I call fido and to somehow cope? I myself remember having to change devices when using a fido handset represent the last I checked, and I'd love to have this figured out without having to pay more money. Help lol

  The error you see on the SIM not supported is indicative of the device being locked to another carrier SIM card that you provide to. I suggest you check that with your friend and see if this device has been locked to another carrier. Could be called Apple, but all they could do was tell you what carrier of the device is locked to Apple do not unlock phones. Once find you the carrier, you need to contact and see if provide unlocking services, and if they do, see if you qualify to unlock. Once again, your best first call is to the friend you bought it from.

• HP Compaq dx2400 microtour format: video card - motherboard compatibility

  Hi, first I want to sorry my bad English because I'm Romanian.

  My question is: I have a HP Compaq dx2400 microtour and I want to know if AMD R7 240 1 GB ddr5 Sapphire, it will be able to run on my pc.

  Thanks in advance!

  Stefan, welcome to the forum.

  I was able to understand exactly what you need.  Your English is no problem.

  Here is the Service reference Guide to the computer.  It will give you all the information you need.  On Page 104, it has information on the power supply unit (PSU).  It is 300 w which is not enough to feed the video card you want to buy.  Also, I think that the card requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.

  Your best options would be to contact the manufacturer Technical Support to see what they have to say.  If this card will not work, they should be able to tell you which of their cards will work.  They will need some information in the document I have provided.

  Please click on the button + Thumbs up if I helped you and click on accept as Solution If your problem is resolved.
