  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  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.

  They will tell you how to do this.

• Reinstall Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

  Not good with computers... need help... very much appreciated... I ran into the horrible black screen problem... I can't start in safe mode, no problem, but can only access via the normal and Task Manager normal mode still doesn't work well... internet and other programs will not work... I tried many options and now looking to do a reinstall of Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

  Question is how can I do reinstall without deleting all my personal files? Is this possible? If Yes, how should I do it... as very detailed information is appreciated as I'm not tech savy... Also, if it is not possible, what is your recommendation to save my files before reinstalling? External hard drive?

  I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

  A resettlement removes all the info.

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• After you have reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-Bit with Service Pack 2. Windows recognizes only 958 MB 2G of Ram. The processor is AMD Turion 64 X 2 1.80 GHz 32 bit

  Hello
  I have a hp Pavilion notebook PC with a new motherboard.  After you have installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I noticed that Windows only recognizes 958 MB 2 GB of RAM installed.  No one knows why this is happening and how can I fix or troubleshout the problem?
  Thank you, PD777

  Hello

  How is your memory configured? that is, what is 2 x 1 GB modules or module 1 x 2 GB. If the former I would check the physical installation of the modules on the MB memory.

  Vista 32 bit should see up to 3 GB, I doubt that it is Vista the cause.

  Another thought, are your shared graphics? in some BIOS, it is possible to ask the system to use a fixed amount of RAM the GUI system, this memory will not be included in the complete system.

• Should I reinstall Vista Home Premium?

  My problem started when I downloaded a few new files for a game, I run on my Vista Home Premium.  The game is Left 4 Dead 2, I've been looking for a good map editor for game cards included with the game, and in my research on the web, I found a few new cards that are in zip (compressed) format, and after reading the instructions I have to use my 'open with... " command through Vista and the value of Left 4 Dead 2 as well as the program to open these files with..., now on my system, I have a lot of space (500 GB HDD with about 75% of free space), I have a quad-processor, 2.40 GHz Pentium 4, 4 GB of RAM.  Now for the problem; When I select Left 4 Dead 2 as the program to use in the "Open with...» " window and click OK, nothing happens, Left 4 Dead 2 does not appear in the"Open with... " list of programs and it happens with all types of file/program type on my system.  So I ask, can I reinstall Vista once more?  It has been replaced once before, and honestly, I didn't like the process of resettlement.

  Resettlement took my old Windows subfolder and placed in another directory on the operating system reinstalled.  I can see why he does it, but honestly, it's a royal pain in the neck to find out what to do with the new directory, I ended up just removing all together.  So I ask you, should I reinstall or not to solve this problem with 'open with...

• I had to reinstall Vista Home premium and now printing is so great that it seems I am in safe mode. How can I fix it

  changing the size of the print

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  Then proceed as follows:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

• Try to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64) on my desk. I need help to find the drivers.

  Some back-story to my question:

  A month ago, so I decided to reinstall windows on my laptop which had become slow and unresponsive. I did it using the key USB Installer tool that Microsoft provides and a file ISO of Win7. I used my old product key on the underside of the laptop and it worked fine. After installation, I found I was missing several base drivers. Since then, I found a lot of important drivers (wireless, its drivers, etc), but several of the 'minor' escape me because quite simply, I don't know how to describe the issue that I have without them to Google. For example, my mouse pad is no longer scrolls when I slip 2 fingers down it at the same time, some site images do not load at all and rather simply show a torn file icon (I don't know if it's the associated driver, but it started after reinstall) etc.

  I want to avoid these problems when I reinstall Windows on my sluggish office. Is there a good way to know what drivers I need? A list my computer can generate or one list of drivers ' required/normal' and other, I need? Or even a list someone else online of pilots, that everyone should have to use their computers to their full potential? I know that all computers have hardware different and like, but perhaps a general list of things you need to get with a new installation (that is to say, "get your graphics, sound, image,... drivers to a minimum, while that [insert here things] is recommended as well").

  Alongside this, is there anything that this is another important thing I should remember to do when you install a new copy of windows?

  Thanks, I know it's a bit of reading.

  Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific brand and model number.

  If there is no driver, your PC may not work correctly (No. LAN or WiFi, Audio, USB, etc.) after the installation of Windows 7.

  If there are Windows 7 drivers, then to download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, starting with the card drivers mother/chipset, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

• The upgrade of VISTA Home Premium Edition to VISTA Ultimate

  I can go from home edition Premium, Ultimate, by changing just the product key (pass through the Control Panel, system, Windows, Activation) or should I completely re - install Vista again and enter the ultimate key when you are prompted for the product key during the installation process?

  Background:

  3 months ago I had to format my hard drive and reinstall all my software (system crash). At the time, I could not find my product key ultimate upgrade, that I bought, so I just re-installed VISTA Home premium edition which came with the original HP computer diskettes provided upon purchase. I found my ultimate product key since then and am interested in the upgrade of the software. The pain to do a re install again, I hope I can avoid.

• Free upgrade from Vista Home Premium 7

  My laptop is still under warranty. I bought it New from Best Buy. Given that it was a floor model, they tell me that my computer is NOT available for free upgrade to Windows 7. Why? Is it possible that I can get a free upgrade to Windows 7? It has Vista Home Premium built in and the reason that I don't like is that it is not useful at all as much as to teach me how to use the computer. I am a senior and I learn right on the computer. If I can't get the free update, Do You traore the price of Windows 7 never boils? Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much!-Chris, in Dearborn, Michigan.

  Suppose you have qualified for an Upgrade to Win7 for free if you had not bought a floor model is reduced, Chris. In any case, only Best Buy can really explain why the computer does not qualify.

  You can buy an Express Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium (~ $120 USD retail or less) or Win7 Ultimate (~ 220 USD $ retail or less). See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/shop?T1=win7 or http://www.google.com/products?q=%22windows+7+home+premium%22+%2B+upgrade&hl=en&aq=f

  Please note that the upgrade to Win7 peut invalidates your warranty and Service contracts.

  Contact Toshiba and ask them to send you a set of recovery Vista disc/s.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  Then reinstall Vista with them.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  See if you still have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista home Premium.

  Try this and see if it works:

  Toshiba Recovery:

  To access the recovery partition Toshiba, powering the laptop. Press 0 (zero) key and turn on the laptop. Keep holding down the zero key until the TOSHIBA logo, which is where you should start to type the zero key repeatedly. Stop if the device emits a sound signal or when the TOSHIBA logo disappears. The screen should light up * MODE of RECOVERY of HARD drive * for a fraction of a second, and then load the Toshiba Recovery program directly from the hard drive.

  Note that this clears all data and reload all the software factory default. Be sure to back up all your important personal data beforehand!
