Hey mary, mary
Here is the vista forums
Choose Safe mode with network to use in the menu you will have your internet connection to use for download unless you connect through wireless
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the machine starts first, yet once it will list usually some equipment that is installed on your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a menu of Advanced Options in Windows XP .
- Select the Mode safe mode with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start safe mode.
- Make all the necessary tasks and when finished restart to start in normal mode.

How to uninstall Vista. I want to start again
Hello
You do not uninstall Vista if it is the only operating system on your hard drive.
You reinstall Vista, delete the 'old' Vista during the resettlement process.
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

See you soon.

does anyone know how to uninstall web2pdf?
On the site of FireFox sync, it endorses web2pdf. It does not work, and it prevents my doing a PDF with Adobe. I need to uninstall it, but there is no uninstall, it is not listed as a program and Revo can't see it. Does anyone know how to uninstall this garbage? I have an office of Win8.
To uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please proceed as follows:
- In the Firefox Firefox window click on the top left and select Add-onsor, if the Firefox button is not displayed, click the Tools menu, and then click Add-ons.
- Once the add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the Extensions button on the left side of the window.
- You should now see a list of your extensions installed on the right side and buttons on the right side of each extension.
- To remove an extension of Firefox, simply click on the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the deletion of the add-on.
- Note that some modules require a restart of Firefox to make it disappear completely. To perform a restart of Firefox after removal of add-on, click restart now in the message.
You can find more information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:

mobile g5 Internet connection for pc
I use the g5 U800 mobile.i need to know how to connect to internet from my mobile to pcHelloYou must have GPRS activated from your network service provider.
To connect the phone to the computer, you need a PC suite installed on the computer. If the phone manufacturers have supplied PC suite CD, then install the software on the computer.The operating system on the computer and the mobile phone are different, so communication is not directly. PC suite software acts as a mediator between the computer and the phone and helps to establish effective communication between the phone and the computer. If the CD is not provided, then look for in PC suite online and download it.

I think I know how to uninstall programs; However, how can you say that programs are essential to the functioning of my laptop and who are just garbage programs or programs that I rarely use. Some are obvious (such as games and other), but there is so much and I'm not computer savvy. Help, please. Give me a list for computer idiots or something. Thanx.

If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.
If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.
If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start
If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.
If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

Refresh your PC goes like this:
- The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
- Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
- Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
- Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
- The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

"When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.
