I had to restore my computer back to factory default, and, in doing so, I clicked on the 64-bit instead of 32 operating system. What I do

I can't get the computer to work properly. It will bring up the pages except my ISP and now this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey Bambi,

You may need to restore the original configuration to select the 32-bit version of Windows. As you do a factory restore, you will need to get in touch with the computer manufacturer for assistance.

    need the simple way to set the computer back to factory settings, and already saved safe data

    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

  • I NEED ASSISTANCE TO RESTORE THE COMPUTER BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

    I have a Dell Vista Home Premium 32 bit computer.  On April 14, I tried to update some drivers, install a music player & even install Vista Service Pack 1.  Is Service Pack 1 bis new section?  I've had my computer for several years and I have automatic updates, so I was surprised when I turned on my computer on April 14, and a message came saying Windows was this important update & I wanted to install, I did.

    Anyway, between all the stuff I did that night I somehow totally messed up my computer.  When nothing would not properly work, I went up to the back & Food Center.  I used this at least a couple of times before without a problem.  This time however, there is no restore point of your choice except April 14.  Anything before that.  When I click on choose another restore point, nothing happened.  I tried to choose April 14 restore point but that didn't help.  Then, to really live things, I decided to restart my computer in Mode safe.  I will never use this option again.  Now I can't get into anything other than Safe Mode.  I ran Spyware, Malware and all the options 'repair your computer' I could find.  Nothing did.  I came on this forum once and the person who helped me finally said the only thing that remains for me to do was to do a full system restore.  He said there was nothing more he could think of to help me.  He didn't tell me how.

    I'm not crazy to do recovery, because I don't know that I will have things then it will fix it, as my Internet service and who knows what else.  But not having not much money right now, I don't want to take my computer somewhere to be fixed if I have to.  Could you please help me to do a full system recovery?  First of all, how can I save my photos and my files, I don't want to lose?  And how do I know what I need to save?  I have a USB flash Memory Stick that I plugged into my computer.  He downloaded the software but I have no idea how to do to get my files to transfer to it.

    And what if I have a virus?  Would I transfer to the portable storage device and then reintroduce the virus to my computer when I transfer this back?  I ran spyware & malware and nothing shows up, but clearly SOMETHING is wrong.  I have a disc of reinstalling that came with my computer but I shouldn't need to use this, should I?  Someone has the patience to give me DETAILED instructions on how to make the recovery, including how to do a back up?  I would love you forever.

    It's way to Dell to reinstall from the DVD on your computer.

    Answer the questions in blue; It is in a sequence.

    http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DSN/en/document?journalid=67E9C215C4BABD6CE040AE0AB5E14F05&docid=336966

    And that way if you also have a recovery partition on your hard drive.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To backup your data: files, photos, music, etc:

    1. plug the flash drive
    2. go in where your files are stored
    3. click right on what you want to record, example: a photo album > Send to > click on the USB Flash Drive(it might be Drive E: or F:)> it will save to it)
    4. Repeat until you have backed up all your data.

    When it comes time to reinstall the data, connect the Flash drive, AFTER that you have an anti-virus and Anti-Malware installed, right click on the flash drive? It Scan before copying the files on your computer.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    After the reinstallation of this Image, you should have a period of trail for an anti-virus; ask here if you don't for a free good.

    And reinstall these 2 programs I gave you.
    You're doing a right click and scan your Flash drive with them:

    Hello bashfulunicorn,

    You should check with the manufacturer of the software if it is compatible with Windows Vista. My research I found that the PrintMaster 10 is designed to work with Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000, so in order to to use with Vista, you should try to install iwn compatibility mode.

    Run the program compatibility Wizard

    1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click programs, and then clicking on use an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. follow the directions in the wizard.

    See the bottom of the article for more information on this:

    When you perform a restore, you may need to reinstall the network drivers, etc..

    As you can not access the internet on the recovery computer, use the computer that you are on to get here to do this.

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium. But I don't know if it matters at this point.  My laptop does not recognize my hard drive, webcam, location of the backup file, scroll bar, does not allow me to run programs troubleshooting etc... the list is long. I want to just restore my computer to original date and start from scratch. Help, please.

    Hello

    by HP, I hope you mean that Hewlett Packard is the manufacturer, because the manufacturers have different ways to do

    If you don't have a recovery disc as it never came with it, press F11 at startup to start the process of recovery back to factory settings

    all data will be wiped from the hard drive during the process

    Here are the two ways to do:

    Restore the PC to its original state with the HP Recovery Manager of in Windows Vista

    If the PC can be started and opens on the Windows desktop, you can use the HP recovery disk to restore the PC to original factory State by following the steps below.
    1. Click Start and enter the recovery in the field of research. Select Recovery Manager in the list, when it becomes available. Allow the action to proceed, if you are prompted. The HP Recovery Manager opens.
      Alternatively, click Start , all programs , Recovery Manager , and then Recovery Manager . Allow the action to proceed, if you are prompted. The HP Recovery Manager opens.
    2. Click Advanced options , System Recovery , and then click Next . The PC will restart and reopen the Recovery Manager.
      Alternatively, if the advanced options is disabled, click Next , and then System Recovery . The PC will restart.
    3. When the PC restarts, select the System Recovery option and click Next .
    4. If you are prompted to use the Microsoft System Restore , click No and then click Next .
    5. When you are prompted, select back up your files first (recommended) , and then click Next . Follow the on-screen instructions.
    6. When you are prompted to recover without backing up your files , please STOP before you click Next .
      CAUTION: It's the last chance to change your mind recovery PC and delete all the files and programs. Once you click Next , the restore process cannot be stopped
    7. If you are convinced that you want to start the recovery process, click Next . The PC immediately starts formatting the disk hard drive and destroy all data.
    The recovery process may take up to several hours and will return the PC to its original state. All custom, settings drivers, software and upgrades or hardware updates are lost and must be reinstalled.
    Restore the PC to its original state with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible

    If the PC does not start under Windows, it may still be possible to use the HP recovery disk to restore the computer to its original state. The Recovery Manager can be started during the boot process by following the steps below.
    1. Press on the button / stop to start the PC and press the f11 key when the standard BIOS guests appear on the black screen.
      NOTE:  By pressing the f11 key at startup on a computer with an image factory HP will start the system recovery process, even if the message is not displayed.
      • If the HP Recovery Manager can access the hard disk recovery partition, a prompt to back up user files before you start the recovery
    . Follow the instructions.
    • If the HP Recovery Manager cannot access the hard disk to resolve system errors, you need to use the recovery disk custom that you created to recover the hard disk to its original state.
    • If you have not created the custom recovery disk, or disks are damaged, you can order a replacement of HP recovery CD.

  • When the Recovery Manager starts, follow the instructions of recovery step by step , shown above.
  • How can I get my computer back to factory settings?

    my computer is slow and I want to restore it back to factory settings, so this has nothing about it except the important things, like when you get everything first... does anyone know how to do this?

    Note that if you save all the important things, it will be lost after the reset.

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

    Your laptop is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition

    .

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the 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 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.

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...
