I have just re-installed Windows Vista and I can't find all the files he supposedly saved.

Hello
You don't say how you have reinstalled or how or where or by which program or process, you saved your data...
A relocation normally will wipe away the old operating system and all data during the resettlement process.
You can try this free program to see if it can recover your data:

I tried to restart, resettlement and to plug and unplug the mouse, made sure that all the drivers are up to date! What now?
Hi navvar,
Thanks for posting of Windows 7 community.
I suggest to start the system in safe mode and check if the problem still persists.
Also download the current drivers and update the firmware of your mouse.
Step 1: Perform a clean boot
Note If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.
b. click on start to reduce this includes this ima, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
c. collapse this includes this ima if you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue .
On the general tab, click Selective startup , and then clear the Load Startup items check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)
d. on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services check box and then click on disable all .
Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
e. click OK , and then click restart .

I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail.
I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail. It seems that whenever a program tries to update the external HARD disk where backups reside it requires administrator permissions.
Looking at the options Microsoft suggest that their user account control system is not supported by my version of SyncToy. What can I do? I'm looged administrator
As you have installed SyncToy until you have created the required permissions, uninstall SyncToy, reboot, then reinstall SyncToy.

I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it. How to return windows 7?
I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it. How to return windows 7?
Hello
Clean, install your Windows 7 Media 7 or restore the Windows 7 System Image that you did before upgrading Windows 8.
If you don't have that:
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.
If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
See you soon.

I had pre installed windows vista on my laptop. now, I replaced the hard drive. so, can we recover only windows giving you the serial number? I have sony laptop.
How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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

computer crashed, have windows vista, indented leave, all the documents lost, can I get all the files, how to do it, in simple terms,
Thank you.
If by "computer of new beginning" you mean that you have started your recovery or disk restore factory set and reinstalled Windows, then the ability to recover your files is practically zero. You can try a utility like Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) but since you have rewritten the entire hard drive, it is highly unlikely that anything will be recoverable.
