Probably not going to happen.  If you can find a Windows XP OEM CD (or change a detail in an OEM - quite possible), and the product key sticker is still legible - you can probably get Windows XP installed.

  • Need help to restore my laptop to the original operating system is

    I accidentally installed 3 different operating systems on my laptop on a hard drive external that I had saved them on because we have hacked a year ago on 2 of the 3 calculates so my son saved our systems for us in case it happened again. Now, I have all 3 on my laptop and need to restore my laptop to its original files. I have a mixture of things here on my PC and my husbands xp and my laptop vista. Help. I don't know if the other 2 systems can be saved on my external hard drive or not. I have my product key for 3 computers.

    You are welcome.

    As you never have a drive to buy, this is how you should be able to reinstall Vista on a Toshiba using the recovery partition:

    https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

    You can see if it works but it is probably destroyed by installing these backup Images.

    If it is not available, try and get the Toshiba recovery disks or borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista according to my first answer.

    See you soon.

  • I need help to restore deleted apps.thks Advisor

    PLSE help me to restore the deleted apps. I have this marking to start Skype and then refreshed the laptop and I lost apps installed

    Hello Kaushal,

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    What exactly happened when you say, "this marking to start Skype then the laptop refreshed?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    Once Windows gets updated, apps that have been installed from DVD and Internet sites are deleted. Get reinstalled the applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed the Windows store. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    For reference:
    How to refresh, reset or restore your PC
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

    You must reinstall any lost applications.

  • Start menu are become virgins and desktop icons & shortcuts are gone, need help to restore them if possible

    I contracted a virus of webroot, and although it has not crashed my pc completely, he has managed to erase my Start menu and 'all' of my icons/shortcuts office. And most importantly, I lost the Internet Explorer icon, even if I always still have and can use it through other options like my email provider when I receive mail or messages which sucks because I'm use to just clicking on my provider internet icon and it takes me right to it. It's another thing my provieder icon went too which allows you to be on my desk, so I wonder if there is a way to restore my icons on the desktop & Start menu. When their shattered virus he left me with a black screen but my toolbar was still there, I also bought the Norton 360 and installed because it all happened due to my previous expired anti-virus software. Norton 360 has helped and supported & stored all my folders and files that have been analyzed and are good, but I have no idea on how to get them back where they belong. Help! I guess I need hooked on Phonics or something... lolol

    Programs need to be reinstalled from the original (CD, DVD or downloads) media

    You can try the free version of this program for recover these files; no warranty if.

    You can find all, some or none.

    Even if you have formatted a disk so that it looks blank, Recuva can still find your files on it.  More...»

    Also read this information:

    If that does not help not, you should try data recovery specialists, who are very expensive.

  • Need help with information about the file

    IM and only know basic computer skills. Im having a problem with obtaining correct file information.  I only use MS MediaPlayer.  I have amassed a decent library.  Over the years, I've downloaded music from CD, limewire and what is called a torrent.  My daughter would be to get an education, but she managed.  Songs from a CD are not a problem, but other sources, the news of music might be incorrect or missing.  On my hard drive and the Member for information often is listed as unknown or various artist.  I edited the info on the Congressman, but he will not put these songs in order. Always the groups to the title of an album.  I can't change the information in the properties.  I think I would need to correct the source info in my library, but I don't know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated my OCD insists that my library be in order. Thank you!

    Liner,

    Musician is working hard and deserves to be paid for their work like everyone else, and unless they offer their recordings for free, whenever you download a torrent or P2P service like Limewire, you're basically stealing their intellectual property and taking food off of their plate.

    Most of the people don't post on a Microsoft Forum, ask the help of cataloguing of media that were obtained from these types of sources. In addition, the sources you cite could also distribute unwanted hitchikers (virus, malicious software) as well as the music.

    If you buy the CD you got with torrents and Limewire, you would probably best chance to get the metadata. And it would be "the right thing to do."

  • Need help to restore blackBerry smartphones

    I tried to downgrade my software of the device via the BB site (with browser plugin) 9630 later to the version previous because it was slowing down the device because I felt. the process was suspended due to the failure of connection and has not ended. But the backup process has been done at the time wherever she got interrupted. so I restarted the process and the phone works now but my data is not restored. Please tell me if there is any way I could get it back where he got saved on. Note: I only use the desktop software but just the browser plugin like I always do.

    Pleaaase help...

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Only one hope and I honestly don't know how the method handles the backup. I hope it's accurate. Search your entire hard drive to a file with the extension of the IPD (*.) Search RPI)... deeply, hidden in the and as well as system folders. Inspect the results - the date / time of the files will tell you when they have been created. If one was created around the time that you were doing this update, then you can use it as source for restore:
