I can erase everything on my computer since I bought without a Vista DVD
I don't have a recovery disk with my Toshiba Satllite with Vista Home. It was installed in the factory and I have the product key from the bottom of the laptop. The only drive I have is the CD to upgrade to Vista.
Call you the manufacturer of the computer...
Ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your recovery Partition and use it to restore the factory settings.
Another way is to ask the manufacturer of your computer for a set of recovery disks. The cost is minimal, and you should have a set. All of the recovery disks will also restore your computer back to factory settings.

Can I erase everything on my computer?
I'll sell my computer, but want to clear the memory of my files and passwords. How can I do?
Reinstalling the operating system will take care of MOST of the problem, but to be completely safe, you need to replace the hard drive.
See the following quote from a wikipedia article
"Similarly, formatting, repartitioning or reimage a system is not always guaranteed to write in all areas of the disk.
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_remanence
I think the same if you do a clean reinstall of your OS, a skilled hacker could still recover some of your data.

I can't still open PES 11 since I bought it there for weeks. Help, please.
I am posting this here because I do not get a response from anywhere, no matter who. I bought PES 11 a few weeks ago and I have even used it. I don't know even who can help me and I can not even find a phone number. I try to open 11 PES and I get this error: cannot open a file because the file is not found.
I used to use PSE 2 and it was really simple. Open and go. But this one does not even open. Please please help or let me know how I can ask for help.
There should be a directory Adobe Photoshop elements 11.0 prefs. because it does not exist, that's the problem.
uninstall the PES 11.
create that directory and make sure that he has read and write permissions.
Right-click your setup file, and then click "Run as Administrator".

Problem I had after having erased everything on my MacBook
I recently got a new PC, so I decided to give my old MacBook mid 2010 to my friend who doesn't have a computer. I wanted to get rid of all my files on it first, so I rebooted and pressed command and R together to access the start menu. I clicked on the disk utility and erased everything on my computer. I brought back to his house and tried to go through the usual steps of installation of Mac OS X, I received a notification that says "cannot find installation for this machine information. Please contact Apple care. "What this means and what should we do?
I think when you did what you did you accidentally got rif in the history of mac os x. so I contact apple and have them checked

How can I completely erase everything off of my computer's memory?
original title: clear memory
How can I completely erase everything off of my computer's memory?
You mean a clean to factory settings install; as in the way in which you bought it.
Read the info below:
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, 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

2 the questions here please:
During the unlocking process: it says that I need to erase everything on my iPhone 5 s. So, what of my contacts? How can I get that back? because the backup to icloud it nor iTunes.
In addition, what happens if I do not erase the content? That will prevent my form of phone is unlocked?
Thank you very much
RAJS
Do not erase everything on your phone under the procedure of release. If you have your phone set to backup Contacts on iCloud, they will be saved and then can be later reloaded on your phone after erasing it. I just got two iPhone 5 and it worked well. Also to do a full backup to your computer via iTunes and transfer everything what is not already saved if you are asked. The only problem I encountered was that some applications does not and I had to manually reinstall the.

Can I reset or erase everything back to the original of the condition of the box?
I'm running an insperon 1545 Dell w / OS; 32-bit Vista SP2 and IE 8 with Analyzer FREE Avast Antivirus and firewall of Defender. is the free Avast AV said, some say that the free trial versions do not work as well as others.
I was wondering if I can put everything back to their original state because I have some annoying problem on my system. All the 20 min or so appears a window without normal borders, there is no tab at the top of the window with the Red Cross to close the window if alt F4 closes the window, it always reappears later. The window shows "(i) this program can't display this webpage". I was hoping that it could fix this glitch.
I recommend the version of Avast FREE to my customers:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
Avast anti-virus is XP, Vista and Windows 7 compatible (32-bit and 64-bit Versions), FREE, auto update and a user of low resources from your computer.
And, don't have 1 (one) anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time.
Conflicts, crash and freezing may occur if you have more than 1 (one).
And for an Anti-Malware program.

Malwarebytes is as its name suggests, a Malware Remover!
Download the free Version from the link above.
Download, install, upgrade and scan once a fortnight.

Dell recovery options:
Above is Dell to reinstall Vista from the DVD on your computer.
And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

I have LR 6.0.1 on a desktop iMac computer since I updated about 9 months ago. I still have LR 5.7 on my Mac laptop.
How can I better put LR on my laptop for 6.0.1?
The Adobe license allows 2 activations, so you would just copy your installation to version 6 files to your other computer and install the upgrade in the same way that you did on your desktop

My rocket downloaded everything on my computer.
I just got my Sansa for Christmas. Love it, think it's great, and it has some pretty cool features. I plugged in my computer yesterday, transferred all my songs in iTunes to WMP (I didn't immediately put videos or photos) and let it sync. I was wondering why it took a full day just to synchronize the songs of 500 or more, until I realized that the downloaded Sansa every single photo, music and video files on my computer!
Now I have about 5 000 photos, 300 additional songs and 20 videos, that I'm not on it. So my question is, how to remove the extra stuff alllll (preferably without having to delete them all one by one on the player) and make sure that my Sansa download all the files in my files again?
Your problem is Windows Media Player, which is set to Auto-Sync. Depending on your version, the settings are in different places, but connect the Sansa and then click Rip, Burn, sync etc. around and make any manual or sync music just for some files.
If you want to just start again, on the "rocket" under Settings/Control Panel is Format, which will erase everything you have added to the Sansa (it will not disturb the firmware). So keep an eye on Windows Media Player and what he adds. At this point, since WMP has already indexed all the media on your computer, you will need to tell it to forget its index - but make sure that it does not remove the files too!
The real way to avoid this kind of madness is to change modes (under Settings/Control Panel) USB - MTP Media Transfer Protocol, which connects with WMP - Meteorological Service of the Canada, which makes the work of Sansa as a flash drive. (You will see two drives, the internal memory and the slot for card, computer or workstation). Then, you can simply drag-and - move folders in the Sansa and see exactly what you get. If you like playlists, you can make them with Winamp in MSC mode. Personally, I'm a Windows Media Playa hata.
