I don't have a paper copy of my Vista 64-bit operating system
Where I can download Windows Vista 64-bit operating system that came preinstalled on my computer? I have my (legal) product key. It is a gateway, and they say that they cannot provide me with it. Someone please help.
Hello
You say Gateway said that they can not provide you with a Vista disk to reinstall.
Have you asked Gateway if you always had a recovery Partition to reinstall Vista operating system of?
Read this article in the link provided:
"Gateway System Recovery from the hard disk"
http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418asi.shtml
And this, too:
"Factory full development".
http://support.gateway.com/s/software/Microsof/Vista/7515418/7515418su531.shtml
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you will have 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 (what you do), 32-bit and 64-bit Editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.

Hello
1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?
2 are. what file download you referring?
3. have you deleted the file using option DEL or SHIFT DEL?
Method:
If you have downloaded the file with success and deleted, I suggest you to check if the files are in the trash and check if it helps.
If you are not able to find the files in the Recycle Bin, you can use all of the third party tools and check if you can recover the files.
Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

I have problems with IE 9 on my 64-bit operating system.
I have a HP laptop with a 64-bit operating system. Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I understand that it comes with a 64-bit IE9 and IE9 32 bits. I know because I started having a lot of problems with Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave. Somehow the two IE9s became the 64-bit. I tried to uninstall IE9 and returned to IE 8 then reinstalled IE9. I still have the problem, and if someone can tell me how to get these back to usable without restore back to out of the box programs I would be very grateful.
in 64-bit windows, the two IE32 and IE64 versions are included, but IE64 is not intended to be configured as the default browser. She is more included for purposes of development, however, the average user should not use it and should stick with THE 32-bit
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/05/29/q-a-64-bit-Internet-Explorer.aspx
You have Internet explorer still installed? If you do, it should be located at the:
"C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet" just create a shortcut and PIN to the start menu.
The average end user really should never need to use 64-bit IE and should simply ignore its presence
Good luck hope I helped let me know

When I go to print a document, the appropriate box comes up to a selected number of copies etc., the printer connects correctly and then sounds like it is printing. Nothing is printed in fact when the paper comes through.
Just in case it was a fault of the printer, I reconnected it a Deskjet HP's 803C and it is the same thing. The additional mystery is that the images print perfectly. I use Microsoft Office 2010 for documents. All ideas
Thank you for your reply and my apologies for not recognizing sooner. However, problems went much deeper when my computer crashed. Hard drive kept saying that it was full and therefore would not accept certain instructions. All now corrected with a new hard drive which has solved printing problems. Thanks again.

I lost my DVD to my laptop recovery. Now I Heve reinstalled the OS with the drivers and want to create a recovery media for later retrieval options.
Please help me to download the Recovery Manager. I have hp Pavilion dm4-1222Tx Entertainment notebook, Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Thank you
Sorry, but HP only provides Manager HP recovery as part of the installation at the factory. HP doesn't provide downloads of the HP Recovery Manager and you may need to order recovery HP media to get the computer to a factory State. Please contact HP in your country / region via the Portal Support HP's worldwide to the order of HP recovery disks.
If you have installed a "generic" Windows copy, you should be able to create an image of your hard disk system in Windows. Please see "Back up your programs, system settings, and files - System Image".

It is no longer available via adobe and if buy you it to someone else, that you will probably have problems running. I think that it is compatible with win 98 but I don't know if it's available for you using compatibility mode.

downloaded updates for 64-bit os when I have the 32-bit operating system
About 2 months ago, I downloaded some updates for vista 64-bit os when I use the 32-bit operating system and he did something, I believe, my registry. Now I have problems with my updates. Do you have any solutions?
Hi batoutaaustin22,
Thank you for using answers Forum.
I suggest using the System File Checker to search for 64-bit updates files were damaged.
The System File Checker tool
To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.
To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search .
2 right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator .
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue
3. at the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
Please let us know if that helps.

EU the link below to download the ISO of Windows Vista. It's totally free.
The site is Digital River. It is 100% legitimate. It is recognized and supported by Microsoft.The link also teach you how to burn the iso file on a bootable install DVD.
Although it says Dell at the top of the page, it applies to both Dell or other than Dell.
Make sure that you select the correct version of bit.
x 86 32-bit version =
x 64 = 64-bit version.

How can I check if I have a 32 or 64-bit processor? Compatible with the 32 bit processor 64 bit operating system?
operating system 64-bit to 32-bit operating system, it's because the processor went from 32 bit to 64 bit?
I know that 64-bit is faster and more efficient than the 32-bit processor, but why os 32/64 bit too? OS working elbow-to-elbow with processors?
Could someone explain a little bit. I so want to know. Thank you

(3) I know 64-bit is faster and more efficient than the 32-bit processor, but why os 32/64 bit too? OS working elbow-to-elbow with processors?
(1) If you have an Intel processor, check here: http://ark.intel.com/ (all news are 64-bit, but many in the pentium and celeron series are not)
No matter what AMD processor once sempron will be 64-bit.(2) No. 32-bit operating systems were once popular is that 32-bit processors cannot run 64-bit operating systems (although the 64-bit processors can run 32-bit operating systems.
(3) see above. The only drawback to a 32 bit OS is that you can not use more than 3.3 GB of RAM, or to run 64-bit applications.

I have windows 7 64 bit operating system says my computer starts windows system 32
I have a gateway laptop with windows 7 Home premium. Clealy system I.D. indicates 64-Bit os. Windows has been shut down and restart without being invited. I wanted to see the info to start. This computer starts up and all the info in the trunk are saying Windows 32-bit system? What happened here? According to me, that's why Windows keeps stopping. How can I fix this? At all times, may not install certain security updates as well.
How can I suddenly have a 64-bit os which is starting to 32-bit. It started in early April.
Where do you see this saying 32-bit?
If you open your Start menu, click computer and select Properties, the system properties box that opens will tell you the correct number of bits of your operating system.
Please note that it is possible (and very common) to have a 64-bit processor in your computer, but a 32-bit operating system. In fact, it is the most popular configuration of Windows 7.

I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk (RF783AA) and I want to upgrade the hardware so I can install a 64-bit operating system. What should I do to make a 64-bit system? It is an upgrade of the bios or it means new equipment?
Thank you very much
Mrsbex
Hello
Normally, for modern machines we only need the 64 bit operating system itself and the drivers appropriate to go with it. There is no need to upgrade the hardware except we may want more RAM to use the 64 bit OS.
In your case, the machine is too old, my suggestion is to buy a new machine. In the long run, can be cheaper than buying part and piece of component to upgrade the existing.
Kind regards
