  Hey birch_2526

  There is no link of free and legal link for you to download vista basic to reinstall

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

  they do it for a nominal cost

  and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall vista basic to how you bought your computer

  that will save you money if you don't have a recovery partition

  your hard drive will be wiped clean of everything during the resettlement process

  Back up all your data

  Read how to do this in the link below

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition keeps looping and will not start

  Windows Vista Home Basic Edition will not boot to the Welcome screen. It keeps restarting loop. I tried to go into safe mode, but who does not start too. Loops of safe mode and return to the start screen.

  I have a dell laptop and I just restalled operating system. I had Windows Update set to automatically download and install. PC worked great until the next day (after the time programmed for automatic updates). I'm assuming that the started after some windows updates when installed. Unfortunately, I can not enter in Windows or Normal or Safe Mode.

  If safe mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation.

  Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

  original title: VISTA VS. XP

  Your technicians say talk to HP

  Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

  You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

  I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

  Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

  Original title: green screen

  my windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not show the Office when I log in. it shows only a green screen. I tried all the options in F8 mode with no result. How can I fix it without losing any information on the hard drive?

  Hello

  1 - do you mean that you get the green screen even in safe mode?

  2 did you recent hardware or software changes to your computer before this problem?

  If you are unable to start desktop even in safe mode, then you try to perform the verification and startup repair.

• Where can I download Windows 7 Home Basic Edition?

  I bought the PC with Windows 7 Home Basic already installed. They gave me the product key, but they did not Home Basic CD. They told me that I should download Home Basic and simply enter the product key for the full version. If you can give me a link where I can download Windows 7 Home Basic Edition, I would be very grateful.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  or

  Windows 7 starts as it normally does in the environment of installation, the only difference this time is, we'll give you a choice to select the edition of Windows 7 you want to reinstall. Browse carefully during the installation wizard.

  Select Windows 7 Home Basic Edition and proceed with the installation as usual. I suggest that you create a backup once the installation is complete.

  Once installation is complete, you must have installed Windows 7 Starter. You can enter the product key and activate using the following method:

  Click Start, type: CMD'

  Right-click on CMD

  Click on run as administrator

  At the command prompt, type the following commands:

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not detect networks wireless scope.

  running Windows Vista Home Basic on my counter top and it will not locate wireless... period. I know at least 3 in the box and he is always telling me that there are no wireless networks detected.

  On a side note, I installed my router wireless on my laptop (so I know it works!) and have successfully installed on my desktop as well (or if the installation wizard tells me) the top round works on vista premium and office is vista home basic, but for some reason, the office is always telling me there are no available wireless networks. I went through the installation wizard for my router wireless twice now and still that it prove when I go to "connect to a network.

  As much as I know there is no 'Wireless' or switch to be turned on anyway... There may be a command prompt to enable the wireless function?

• A POP-UP MESSAGE WARNING EXPIRATION OF WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC EDITION

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario V 3000, purchased by me on May 28, 2008 in Bangalore, India (Reliance digital) and delivered to me preloaded with Windows Vista Home Basic with a label number key to the laptop. (The 20 product ID numbers is also known).

  It worked OK all along.

  (For the PAST 3 DAYS, I get the following pop-up message when I boot on):

  THIS FIRST VERSION OF WINDOWS HOME BASIC WILL EXPIRE IN SEVEN DAYS. BACK UP YOUR FILES AND THEN INSTALL no matter WHAT EDITION OF WINDOWS (message on today morning: March 24, 2010).

  I'm confused by this warning that I have a lot of data stored in my laptop (with HDD of 160 GB and 2 GB of RAM).

  I'll be very grateful to expert MS Forum for helping me solve this problem of EMERGENCY, as I am only left with more than seven days!

  Thanking you,

  You should backup your data NOW by purchasing an external hard drive and copy your data files on it. Then, I would give the store where you bought it a call. If they do not, call the HP technical support immediately. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Backup "to a network' grayed out for Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

  Dear Forum:

  Vista Home Basic SP - 2, Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 (signed on as "Administrator" on both machines)

  I'm trying to back up data residing on Vista Home Basic machine on a shared drive on Win XP Pro machine on an ethernet network.  When I run backup and restore Vista HB machine, backup "to a network' option remains greyed out.

  From now on, I can read and write in the public records of the Vista machine from the Win XP Pro machine and I can read and write to disk shared Win XP Pro machine from Vista HB machine.

  I apologize if the question has been discussed previously.  I appreciate all help to address this issue.

  -Kevin N

  I'm sorry, but Windows Vista Basic cannot save to a network location.  It can only back up to a local disk.

  Backup to a network location requires a more advanced version of Windows Vista.

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition has been reinstalled and I would like to uninstall it

  I would like to uninstall windows vista. We have now old windows with all our files on it and windows with nothing on it. I would uninstall the last installation and simply go back to the old. It's on a lenovo. It's my friends computer.

  Hi, Cheryl l.,

  Your system must have a Windows CD.  Insert the CD and restart your system.  When the press and the button to start the CD-ROM appears, press on and keys.  Install a new copy of Windows.
