Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition 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.

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

  • have a product code but lost serial number

    have a product code but lost serial number

    Unfortunately, the serial number is essential to be able to use the software.  Without it you have nothing that links the software for you as an owner... therefore, it is always best to save your software (software).

    The only other thing I can offer is to direct you to information to find your serial number.  If tram you have all that then listed you are probably out of luck in obtaining other assistance in the forums.  Adobe support (chat or by telephone) will be your only hope.

  • Pro at the Expert level, but did not get the Badge of alum Expert

    Hi moderators,

    Recently, last Saturday, I joined master of expert of level.

    This takes me Pro to Expert level, but did not get the Badge of Expert as well as the associated points Expert badge Alum Alum.

    Y at - it no other milestone needs to fill for the alum Badge other than 10,000 Expert?

    I mentioned this link Rewards and recognition FAQ - Oracle Community

    Kind regards

    Jitendra

    'Alum' badges refer to the word of the ancients (as far as I know) and have been allocated specifically to people who have reached certain levels in the old scoring system.  These aren't the badges you can win in the new system of gamification, they just received in the framework of recognition of what level people reached in the old system. for example, I have a badge 'Guru Alum' because I was a 'Guru' status under the old system.  If I had not reached this level before the changes then I would never be able to get this badge now.

  • How can I get a valid Windows Vista Home Premium product key for my Acer Aspire 5050?

    My hard drive failed in my Acer Aspire 5050.  Replaced, reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the appropriate product key, but Microsoft says that it is invalid.  Microsoft wants to buy me a new copy of Windows & there is no available from Acer for my laptop recovery disk.  What can I do?

    The product key on the bottom of the laptop is an OEM product key.  This product key does not work for the commercial versions of the operating system.  The original shipping charge might work on the system without entering a product key.

    If you did not, or are no longer able to get the recovery media, you will have to buy an operating system of your choice for the installation.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (Retail DVD) will not install an upgrade on Vista Home Premium (OEM factory - installed)!

    I bought a copy the retail of Windows 7 premium (updated version) upgrade on Vista Home Premium SP2on my 3 yr old HP Pavilion Desktop on 22/10/2009. Vista has been installed at the factory. The PC more than meets all hardware reqs. I tried 4 or 5 times to upgrade the operating system on this PC & it runs fine until the process to halfway in step 5 in the upgrade and stops. I forgot the exact message, but it's like 'cannot be upgraded pc, abandoned process, will now restore the Vista installation. After this x 4-5 in the last seven days, I'm sick of what's going on. I've been building & PC repair & installation, configuration, and upgrade Windows since Windows 3.1 and Dos operating system. The Win 7 installation routine is so demanding that if all the program requirements are not met (for the latter)-it just stops and is abandoned. I've never had this kind of trouble before. NEVER Yes, I use the on-line support docs & Software Advisor compatibility. I've never seen an OS that just works! Absolutely amazing!  I also tried this on my computer Lenovo laptop lastnight - same thing!

    Hi Jim,.

    Thanks for the information. You said you ran Upgrade Advisor several times on both machines. This show no error every time? Also, I would recommend unisntalling any antivirus that you have currently and to help clean up the provided utilities if any, of the antivirus manufacturer. In addition, unplug all unnecessary devices such as printer, network cable or any other devices you have.

    I hope this helps!

  • Reset windows 8 and but did not get the correct product key.

    Hi all.

    I bought a used HP Pavilion desktop computer and decided that it would be better to reset factory settings before you start using it. Unfortunately, I made and then found I don't have the product key of Windows 8 for it, and no more than the seller. The reset process is to half-way through, but I'm not sure how to do this when I get to the part where it asks for the key. Nightmare!

    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    See you soon

    Andy

    You should not be asked for a product key because you used the factory reset to reinstall Windows 8.

    1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4


    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.
