I'm afraid only on restoring the computer to the exact state it is now.

I reinstalled Windows Vista on a computer, I have not used in a while. I repeated the Windows Update until there are no updates and at this point, I am very satisfied with the results. What I want to do, it's something tangible, like a CD, which will restore your computer to this exact condition must - I never need to create. I don't like on registration of files, folders, programs or anything else that could be put on this computer at a later date, I fear that on restoring the computer to the exact state it is now. Any information would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

I prefer for the most of backup data and prefer to do it in a way that makes it easy to find and

able to get restored programs and then use the backups to replace the data.

    Hi, I bought a the United States iphone6, im now in South Africa and it will not work. It says sim not supported.how do I fix this?

    The SIM card is not support indicates that the iPhone is locked to the American carrier that it has been activated with. In order to obtain the released lock it is necessary that you talk to the carrier to find out what their requirements are to release the lock. They are the only ones who unlock it so that it can be used with another carrier.

  • I think I accidentally restore my computer to its original factory condition and now I can't access my files!

    I have a windows vista

    Please elaborate on what you were doing. If, indeed, you have restored the computer to the State as delivered, your user files and applications that you have installed since it was first set up have been removed. They are not simply inaccessible, they are gone. There are various files and partition recovery tools, you could try; However, the disc was heavily rewritten by the restore process. The chances of success are slim.

  • I have upgrated to El Capitan OS.  Unfortunately, I lost iPhoto in the process.  When I try to update iPhoto on iTunes I get a message saying that the iPhoto update is only available in the United States (!)  How can I get this app from Canada -

    How to upgrade to iPhoto on an IMac (El Capitan, OS).  Tried to find it on iTunes but I get a message, it is not available in the Canada.

    What version do you have now? You can use iPhoto 11 v9.6.1 on El Capitan. If you have a version earlier than iPhoto 11 then there is no way to upgrade and you must use the new Photos.app instead.

    If you have a version of iPhoto 11 then put it in the trash (not empty it) and reinstall it from the shopping list of the Mac App Store - note it is the Mac App Store and nothing to do with iTUnes.

    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

    This article describes how to use the System Restore tool to restore your computer to a previous state. System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

  • restore the system to the original state

    I am running windows xp proffesional 2002 and you want to restore the factory state how to do this

    Some computer manufacturers, including Dell and HP, have a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

    If this is not available, you can restore the system from a restore CD provided by your computer manufacturer.

  • VM will use only 50% of the resources allocated vCPU

    I have a windows 2008 64 bit VM with 4 vCPU who seems to never use up to 50% of the handsets of CPU resources. Each CPU seems to be well balanced, but will never go beyond 50%. I do not see and as for example allocation of resources, limiting the amount of CPU that is given. I use this virtual machine on a dedicated v4.1 ESXi host.  Doesn't seem to be any challenge. Any ideas why it seems to be limited to only 50% of the available CPU? There is no other virtual computer running on this host at this point...

    Doesn't seem to be any challenge. Any ideas why it seems to be limited to only 50% of the available CPU?

    Now, you see one of the MANY reasons for which multi CPU VM are a WASTE!  This is what we are trying to illustrate them, thanks to prove our point!

    It is applications that drive CPU, if the applications are not multi threaded or SMP, you cannot take advantage of the CPU unless APPS are SPECIFICALLY written for her.

  • Restoring the State of the CPU

    Hi all


    I have a virtual machine here that has a few important files on however when I try to start it again I get:

    «An error occurred in restoring the State of the CPU of the file "D:\Virtual Machines\VMware\Windows XP Professional\Windows XP Professional - ccd33a20.vmss".»

    A mistake due to the operation of recovery to fail. Preserve the suspended state and fix the error or throw the suspended state. »

    I want to get all the information out of this area to a new installation, but I can't get in

    What you can do is to remove the . VMS file in the folder of the virtual machine. It's like hard reset a system (i.e. pulling the power plug). Remember to save the file to the virtual machine before doing this, to be able to restore the current state, in case you should.
