I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501. I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results. First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel. Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools. For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update. Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer. Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears. The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem. My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero. Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

Download Vista Home Basic multimedia
I fear I may get flamed for this but here goes.
I've got system of an individual that I need to reload for him. He got his COA stuck inside his laptop but, of course, it has long lost CD to install (Vista Home Basic).
My question is, can I upload an image of the Microsoft site anywhere. I don't see how it could be interpreted as an attempt to hack, but maybe I'm missing something. I hate to drag a torrent engine.
Any help would be great
Thank you
EricHow 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

The disk (with no key) installed Vista Home Premium, and the license key OEM is for... Home Basic!
I recently did a clean install with the disc that came with my Dell XPS6400 (bought in the auction) local computer, which had only "Vista 32bits" written on it and no product key. I thought I could use the key on the sticker on the underside of the computer OEM license, even if the 2 characters in the 3rd section were partially missing - they had to be one of the other four. When OEM license was initially considered valid, I realized that I had not yet downloaded a service pack, but after that, he was still to come as being invalid! Then, I found that the version of Vista that was on the disc was "Home Premium" and the OEM for "Home Basic" license key Do I have to reinstall the whole system, drivers, etc., in order to establish the upgrade? (Please say "NO", there is an easier way to do this! Here's the MGADiag. -I hope it helps. :-}

To reinstall Vista Home Basic read this information.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought, not that one 32-bit, vista, your computer must be on the hard drive to reinstall recovery Partition Vista to how you bought your computer, which may or may not work after the installation of the wrong edition.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
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
