  Hello

  Try the following.

  Using another PC, download the app from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

  PC login now

  Once the download is complete, open your download folder and double-click on the installer - this will result in another file, which is the disk image (.) ISO) you need to burn to a blank CD.

  Now, you will need to use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.

  When the disk has been created, shut down the PC you can not log on, press the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press enter - peut also have you to "Press any key" to boot from the CD if asked to.

  Follow the instructions on the guide here to remove the current password.

• I have a serial number valid for windows Vista Home Basic, but my hard drive crashed and I have no way to re - install vista on my computer. I am looking for a download so I can do it.

  Basically, I installed windows 2000 on my machine and I can't find a download for windows vista home basic that doesn't have some kind of crack or keygen. I want a legal copy not a hack. I have the serial number supplied with my computer. where can I find this download or get a drive.

  Here are all LEGAL for Vista:

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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.

  Ask them if you can also make 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

• How can I replace a ntdll.dll in Windows 7 Home Basic

  I have Dell Inspiron 15R installed with Windows 7 Home Basic with SP1, ntdll.dll has become corrupt. But if I check with sfc/scannow, it shows no problem. I tried to replace the ntdll.dll from another system of windows 7 by the boot of Ubuntu, but the system crashed, therefore, I have to replace the old file back.

  Therefore, please suggest how to replace the ntdll.dll corrupt without installing the OS from scratch.

  @ FantaSS

  =============================================================================
  There are different ways that ntdll.dll errors can appear on your computer.
  Ntdll.dll errors can be caused by a number of different things that translate into many different error messages, but some of the more common ones are listed below:

  • "STOP: 0xC0000221 unknown hard error C:\Winnt\System32\Ntdll.dll.
  • "STOP: C0000221 error material unknown \SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll.
  • "AppName: [NAME OF PROGRAM] ModName: ntdll.dll.
  • "[PROGRAM NAME] has caused an error in module NTDLL. DLL at [FULL ADDRESS]"
  • "Crash caused in ntdll.dll!
  • "NTDLL. DLL error! »
  • «Unhandled exception address [ANY] (NTDLL.» (DLL).

  Ntdll.dll error messages can appear before or after a program is used, while a program is ongoing, when Windows is started or stopped, or even during a Windows installation.

  Cause of Ntdll.dll errors
  The causes of ntdll.dll error messages can vary considerably. However, most of the ntdll.dll errors result from a corrupted or damaged file ntdll.dll version itself, corrupt hardware drivers, or issues between Windows and other programs.
  Ntdll.dll errors can sometimes mean that a piece of hardware in your computer is faulty, but this is rare.

  How to fix Ntdll.dll errors:

  1. Restart your computer: the ntdll.dll error you receive may be due to a one-time, temporary issue and a simple reboot may solve the problem completely.
  2. Reinstall the program if the ntdll.dll error only when you use a program.

     If the software updates or service packs available, install them too. Software programmers may have identified an issue with the program that caused the ntdll.dll error and then issues a patch.

  Note: Software of third party that have been installed on your computer are almost always the cause of errors in ntdll.dll. The rest of these troubleshooting steps to solve the problems of ntdll.dll that rarely.

• Check the windows service pack level you use, and consult the Microsoft support site to see if there is a service available for installing the newest pack. Some of the issues that caused the ntdll.dll errors have been corrected in these service packs from Microsoft.
• Disable Add-ons from Internet Explorer selectively: If your ntdll.dll error appears when you start, run or close Internet Explorer, an add-on may be causing the problem. Deactivation of each module, one by one, will determine what add-on is the culprit (if any).

  Note: As a solution, assuming that the ntdll.dll error is really Internet Explorer related, install and use a competing browser like Firefox.

• Rename the NLSPATH system variable: If your Windows system does not have this environment variable, skip this step.

  Note: It is a step of troubleshooting for this issue only. Don't forget to put this way its original name, if this does not solve the problem of ntdll.dll.

• Turn off the Data Execution Prevention for Explorer.exe: as in the previous step, this is for troubleshooting only the question of ntdll.dll. If this does not resolve the problem, return the Data Execution Prevention settings to their previous settings.
• Update the drivers for any hardware in your computer where the updated drivers are available. Out-of-date drivers sometimes cause errors of ntdll.dll.
• Test your memory for damage: If you receive messages from ntdll.dll, one possible cause could be a memory module in your system. Test your memory will be either identify a problem or clear your RAM from liability.

  Replace your memory in the event of failure of your tests.

• Ntdll.dll errors may occur if you have an Iomega Zip drive on the same IDE cable as the hard drive inside your computer. If so, move the Zip drive to a dedicated IDE controller.
• Replace the IDE cable connect the hard drive to the motherboard. If this cable is damaged or defective, one of the symptoms could be the ntdll.dll error you see.
• Repair your Windows installation: If the resettlement of individual software fail to solve the problem, a Windows repair installation overwrites the ntdll.dll file.
• Perform a new installation of Windows: a new installation will completely remove Windows from your PC and reinstall from scratch. I do not recommend this option unless you have exhausted all the previous troubleshooting ideas and you are comfortable that the ntdll.dll error is not caused by a single program (step 2).

  Note: If a single program or plugin causes the ntdll.dll, reinstalling Windows and then reinstall all the software even can lead you right to the same ntdll.dll error.

• Although extremely rare, if everything else failed, including the facility clean at the last step, you might be dealing with a hardware problem with your hard drive.

  If so, replace the hard disk and then perform a new installation of Windows.

• Where can I get a free copy of Windows Vista Home Premium for a laptop Sony Vaio I have my product key, but need to the floppy?

  where can I get a free copy of windows vista edition Home premium? I tried to restore my laptop without success. I think I need a copy of the installation disc so that I can reinstall it with my current product key

  Hello

  There's a photo guide based on the recovery of your model here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/tutorial/381906/product/VGN-fz18g

  If you cannot use this method because what did your friend, your options are...

  • Pay Sony for media recovery
  • A base Windows installation followed by installing specific Sony drivers and software from their Web site.

  If you walk down the road of the latter, I would say that, if possible, before you begin reinstalling Windows you download at least the Ethernet drivers and wireless and save in, for example, a USB key. Start your drivers to search for them (and other) here...

  http://www.Sony-Asia.com/support/product/VGN-fz18g/FAQ

  .. everything will be difficult to download if drivers that allow access to the internet are not native to a new installation of Windows.

  Your principled stand against Sony charges for media recovery is, in my opinion, wrong. As I already said twice...

  If Sony did not provide recovery media that they have provided the means to create them

  If you lost or do not burn them and messed up your recovery partition, it's not for lack of Sony.

  My serious recommendation is to accept a fee of Sony for the recovery media. It will make life much simpler for you. For this reason alone, it is probably useful tax, especially considering that you're obviously not a user advanced. Otherwise, why ask the help of a friend and ask for help on this forum?

  I suspect that the links I've seen on this website are actually only valid for Windows 7 media images. If you do not buy the recovery media and go with an iso image download Vista Home Premium, I have to warn about the following...

  • The legality of this is, at best, questionable
  • If it's not genuine Microsoft media you might end by in an even bigger mess (if it works at all)

• Can I switch to Win 7 SP1 of Vista Home Basic (without Service Pack)?

  Hello, currently I run Vista home basic 32-bit without the service Pack installed. I did once try and install but I got was a never-ending startup sequence (the BONES do not start) and I had to restore a backup copy of previous Vista before installing SP1. So it's just a quick question: can I go directly to Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 without having all the service packs currently? I don't have a lot of free time to do a clean install and restore programs and games, and configure them.

  Microsoft recommends that you have at least Service Pack 1 installed.

  You can try to install without MS, if you wish.

  And if you have a problem, follow this information.

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

  Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=30

  Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

• I can't boot from my cd of Windows. I would like to do a clean install.

  Can not do a clean install - Windows CD does not start

  Hey everybody,

  Using XP Pro

  Have a problem and I need/want to do a reinstall of Windows. Everything I read says first boot from the CD. Can't seem to get that to happen.

  CD player works fine. I can launch the Windows CD, but it says I have a newer version installed what is on the CD and won't let me not re-install.

  How can I get to any installation option, with or without formatting and re - install only the operating system or do a full install and re - load HDD to backup data files.

  If I format the drive hard, how will I be able to run the Setup program on the CD, if I can't start from there?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Garry

  You're welcome Gary and it's easy.

  You are now all set and ready to create your new Windows disk. Good work so far.

  Open NLite. Select your language, and then click Next. On the next window click on 'Browse' and navigate to the folder of Windows Xp that you created on your desktop. Give Nlite a minute to recognize the version of Windows, and then click Next. In the next screen, there will be a list of items, you can choose to customize the disk. At this point, you want to click on Service Pack and Iso Bootable. See screenshot HERE. Note that the small red dots to the left of the elements becomes green when selected. Once you have selected Service Pack and ISO Bootable, click Next. A browser window will open asking you to navigate to the service pack that you downloaded... Just navigate to the service pack and click on 'open '. Now, click Next. You will be asked if you want to start the process. Click Ok. Give Nlite a few minutes to catch up. Once he held you to the final screen.

  When to the final screen make sure you have a blank disc inserted in your CD-ROM. Now, use the drop-down menu to select "Direct Burn". Then click on "burn". See the screenshot HERE. After the burn is finished, restart the computer and boot from the disc. Install Windows.
