I hate 10... I want 7 or vista or even 95... just want to play my new cd games
How can I clean my computer and re-install 7 or Vista or 95?
If your upgrade to Windows 10 is less than 30 days, try to roll back:
If you can not restore, then you will need to manually downgrade:

I am running Vista on my laptop but I hate the game of Solitaire in Vista and I want to play the game of Solitaire found on my XP pc. How to find the program and all the bits necessary to transfer from one computer to another? l
Hi Dave Trickett.
Unfortunately, you can not transfer the games from XP to Vista. You may need to download Solitaire game by any third-party site. There are many available third-party site that can help you in the task.

I have a new brand, solid as a rock, high-end, cry of monster machine, fresh out of the box, fully updated with all updates from MS:
Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
12 GB DDR3 RAM
2 TB of hard drive space
64-bit Edition of Windows Vista Home premium.
2 x Nvidia 295 in SLII can do pretty much everything on this subject with the results you expect. I can surf the web at lightning speed (assuming I'm not using IE8, who remember using NETSCAPE ago 15 years on a 14.4 modem), I can play any game I want with amazing performance.
So why can't play ANY game online without first restarting my PC?
I say play... City of Heroes for 12 hours or 12 minutes. Disconnect me, go to sleep and the next day... No. It does not connect to the DBserver. I load the battle field (ANY of the battlefield series) and cannot update the list of servers. I have a strong connection to rock, I can connect to ANY game online with all 4 of my installations of XP without problem (Yes, I mean when the Vista machine does not work on one game from all others work with this game without problem) The ONLY fix I have found is to restart the Vista Machine... single... time... I want to play an online game.I found the article on article on the post on the blog that talks about Vista incompatible nature with online games, including of Microsofts OWN games online. The only answer I found Microsoft has been, and I am paraphrasing here "is not as bad as everyone say it's.
Explanations? Solutions?
Hello Wachinagi,
Thank you for posting. The first thing is to check the power save options of your NIC (Ethernet card) in the Device Manager and make sure that it is configured to not allow. I think that your NIC could go into powere saving mode. I suggest you check the settings of your router and firewall. Make sure that the appropriate ports are opened for the games. Could also include the anti-anti-virus/firewall software you are using.
Please let me know if it helps. Zack

How can I restore my computer (Windows Vista Premium) back in the day, it was brand new? I want to clean the top/everything, yes everything! Help! PLEASE
Hello
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?
It is a decision that was made by Apple. El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.
This is not uncommon. My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.
Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.
Ciao.

I want to open my new tab of my homepage, not not the tiles or white page
I've upgraded to Firefox 41.01 and now when I open a new tab I have only the choice of tiles (which I don't want) or a completely blank page. I want the new tab to open my home page, not the tiles suggested or a blank page.
41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.
Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):
- If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
- If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
- If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
- If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.
Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom
After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).
Open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).
New tab Override
Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:
- (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
- Blank tab = > subject: empty
- Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
- Any other page = > full URL of the page
Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.
Custom new tab
It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.
Success?

Unless you are in the USA, expect it to be available in Jamaica. People can not download content from iTunes Store from another country; This is why it is not an option for you.

I played the words with friends last night - no problem. This morning I get messages on my phone that Firefox will not support my browser and I need to upgrade - it always tells me to sign up for mobile Firefox for my Android - I don't HAVE AN ANDROID. MY CELL PHONE IS A FLIP OF THE DARK AGES, PHONE, AND I DON'T WANT TO PLAY GAMES ON IT.
You are probably just seeing a message offering it for download, if you do not have an Android phone, you can safely ignore it. Do not update your Firefox on your computer but, you are using an older version. Update Firefox to the latest version
