I have the Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E Vista Home Premium was pre installed on. I had to reinstall and borrowed A friends Dell CD. Nothing works right. How can I get the right programs for my Vaio

It does not work like that

You cannot use a disk from Dell on a Sony Vaio.

Here are the General news for the recovery to factory settings:

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

    Most PC manufacturers who don't give you the disks give you a partition on your hard drive that contains the images of the disks so that you can burn yourself.  You should check out.

    When you say "change settings in both accounts' exactly what are the parameters what do you mean?  It is normal that many Windows settings to be on a per user basis.  For example. the desktop background is a 'definition' which is completely independent for each user.  You cannot set up a wallpaper for a user and hope that it displays desktop of another user.

  • Cannot install the drivers and software for HP Deskjet 5650

    I removed most of the HP entries to my printer from the Start Up. Since then I have not been able to get the Printer Wizard to start. Recently, I uninstalled everything related to the printer from Add Remove programs. Since that time I tried to install my HP drive. It comes up with the error that the software does not support my operating system. My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition SP3. The software is looking for Windows XP. I downloaded the drivers and software from HP. When it runs, it starts very well. For some reason, it isn't detecting my printer. After you select how the printer is connected to the computer and the connection at the same time the software tries to finish, but he comes up with an error and says it cannot complete the installation. I am able to install the drivers, but when I try to install the drivers and software is when the error appears. How can I fix? It would be nice to use the wizard for printer hp again.

    I found the solution to my problem. Before I could install the software and drivers for my printer that I had to remove completely all the software and the printer driver. Here's what I used to delete the printer driver. Restarting my PC after removing the printer driver has been the most important step. Everything works fine now.

  • can not find the drivers and software

    Hello

    I use an old Compaq presario 6000 series desktop computer. I had just formatted the Office to install a fresh sp2 XP. Unfortunately, after formatting and installing XP, I found that I had lost the CD for the drivers.

    I don't know how to find the number of model/product number for my office. But I had found something on top of the CPU devalued

    P6171AI/P4 - 1.9 G / 256 M / 40 G/D16W40/M

    Compaq P246LFM70115

    I don't know what is the model number and product number in the present. As such, I could not find the drivers. I'd be happy if someone could help me get ALL the necessary drivers. Also, I would be grateful if I could know the factors that I need to install (other than the VGA and sound).

    Thanks in advance

  • Do a clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1; advice on the new partition formats.

    Hi, I'm going to do my clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1 today.

    Need advice on the size for my new partition (s).

    Currently defined as the partitions:

    Total: free:

    OS (c                          99.7G          11.9G

    Data (D G 111, 14.5 G)

    HP_Recovery (E 12.0 G 1.97 G)

    I am running:

    Laptop HP Pavilion DV9700 Entertainment

    32 Vista Home Premium, SP1

    Basically I want a suitable partition for the new Windows OS 8.1 (more room for restore points).

    And the rest of the data area, I guess, as if I had originally.

    Does anyone have any other ideas, because I start from scratch.

  • I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.

    I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?

    It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(
