• Is it possible to get the files for windows vista, so I can reinstall my system?

  Hello

  Im a user of linux on one machine HP Pavilion dv5-1095eo leisure. IM tired to restart my machine to run a windows OS, so is possible for me to get the files for windows vista. I got the windows key attached under the computer and I don't have any windows CD when I brought the machine.

  Hello:

  You can do your own installation disc Vista too if you wish.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

  Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

  Hello Bob w. NY

  Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

  As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

• I'm trying to re - install my for windows vista 32 bit synaptics pointing device, but my device manager does not display any device and keeps bring up the keyboard to the screen as how to fix this?

  I tried to install a driver for it but I find only 64 and 86 bit drivers. Sometimes my keyboard is not typing all letters I am getting tye (type) or like this for example. Someone at - it help me fix this please. I really want to get this computer working again.

  Your keyboard might not be hitting the correct letters (typing lertters numbers) because your shift caps lock is enabled (the led is green), to disable it on a portable computer, press on the 'fn + caps lk' keys at the same time, the green light should turn off.

  Your system is 32-bit if you need marked x 86 driver (it's actually 32-bit, there is no system of 86 bit).

  For you On - Screen Keyboard, check if it is automatically configured to start whenever you open a session:

  Go to the Control Panel, easy access, less "explore all settings', click on 'Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard', click on the box in front of"Use on-screen Keyboard"to uncheck if its active.

• Y at - it a startup of microsoft for windows vista premium disc which is downloadable on a computer to start the operating system when the HD does not start

  Since 2007, I have packard bell computer pc laptop. He came with a recovery or a bootable disc, but the genuine license is stuck under the machine. After System Restore today and a computer virus scan went to a reboot. But a black screen with the boot failure lights. I am unable to go to safemode, viaF8 or something else. He invites me to insert the recovery disk. What I can do besides take it to the seller. I have another laptop using windows vista can I create a recovery or startup disk that is compatible with this laptop. Waiting for your kind response

  NeoSmart is a very good drive to do a Startup Repair with.

  BUT it will not reinstall your operating system.

  For this, you need your computer manufacturer's recovery disks, or use a built-in recovery Partition.

  Read this info below:

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

  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
