I received an error message: operating system not found. I need to reinstall Windows, but do not have the media. How can I request media?
"OS not found"
Hello
If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop 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.
Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.
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.

See you soon.

Hi Gary,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.
According to the description, you have problems with the computer not start.
This problem can occur because of a hardware problem.
Proceed as from the link below and check if that helps.
Warning: Be careful when you change the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.
Meet us if you face problems with computer not start or any other issue of Windows, and we would be happy to help you.
Good day!
Hope this information helps.

I had a subscription to the application for export to convert PDF files into Word documents for several years with no problems. Now, when I enter my email address and password, player tells me that it cannot access the service. I know the password is correct, because it works on Adobe's Web site. If something has changed? Why can't I access the export function that I used before and that I paid for?

Here's the situation.
First of all only started to the top of my Asus to find was no sound. Following up to plug-and-play service has not started. It is now removed apparently.
Here are the solutions I tried, in and out of safe mode:
While the plug-and-play was still there at all, and I tried to go I still receive error message 2. could not locate the file.
In CMD sfc/scannow reached 32%, then breaks down, saying: it finds corrupted files, but could not fix.
It Startin via msconfig did not work.
Tried to go through Device Manager, which is completely empty for some reason any.
System Restore is restoring before this problem. When you attempt a restore, plug-and-play service is not returned to the existence, defective or otherwise.
I knew, but there may be malware, mutiple scans with several services did not find anything.
I tried to contact microsoft help and they might suggest only I have upgraded to windows 10. Tried several times, and he has failed to be upgraded, every time. For the most part just download windows 10 and then by restarting the computer as if nothing happened. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.
I would like to ask you:
- You are running Windows 7 or Windows 10 on your PC?
- When was the last time it was working fine? Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?
Given that you are unable to complete the scan of SFC and Task Manager is empty, usually reinstall or do a repair install is the best choice of action. However, we can try to fix these files and check if that helps. To do this, refer to the steps below:
- Open the start menu and type "cmd".
- Right-click on the command prompt and click "run as administrator".
- Type the following commands and press ENTER after each.
DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
After you run these commands, restart the system and check.
You can also view,

If you are using Windows 7 and have the product key for this. You try to run an upgrade in Place to fix all the corruptions.

The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7
I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation? A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new. If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.
In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista. Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

not boot Vista after that computer crashed have a black screen with message operating system not found.recovery discs won't load
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
Above is the way you normally boot from the Vista recovery disks.
If you have tried to boot from the recovery without success disks, contact the manufacturer of your computer.
This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.
See you soon,.

Hi helzf,
You can try to run a Checkdisk on drive E to fix disk errors that can cause this problem. You can make a backup of the data on this drive and try to run checkdisk.
Check out the link:
Check your hard drive for errors
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors
Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.
