  I let someone use my computer and somehow they formatted my computer, s he always tells me to run the Startup Repair, but it won't let me. Someone knows how to fix this?

  Your best option is to try to reinstall Windows 7:

  If Windows 7 is pre-installed:

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
  ------------------------------------
  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 installed, use your reinstallation disk to perform a new installation:

• Two operating system in a computer

  I have install windows vista on windows XP, now I have two operating system in a computer, that I need to know how I can get Red Windows XP from my computer I am not using it anymore and I need to free up more space in my hard drive

  Hi Nawwabym,

  A. XP is installed in the primary partition?

  B. What is the letter of the drive of the XP partition?

  C. how many partitions you have on your computer?

  To find the primary partition (Boot from Vista)

  1. click on start

  2 type Diskmgmt.msc in the search box and press on enter.

  3 disk management windows open and you will be able to see the letter of the primary partition.

  Removal of the partition that contains the original operating system on a multiboot system could render your system unusable. That partition contains system files that depends on your computer to start your computer, regardless of what OS you want to use.

  Please provide details to help you further.

  Method 1:
  Check if the Bluetooth services are running on the operating system.
  a. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
  b. in the list of components, double-click Bluetooth support Service.
  c. change the startup type to automatic and click on the Start button to start the service.
  d. click on apply and then click ok.
  e. check if the problem persists.
   
  Method 2:
  Install Bluetooth drivers on the operating system on the manufacturer's Web site.

  I have a PC with Vista, I tried to install Windows XP, it was rejected, and now I don't have an operating system

  Bruce,

  Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

  If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

  You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

  Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad new possible.

• Have 2 operating systems on start up, want to get a discount

  tried to reinstall windows, finished with 2 systems to choose from, try the other answers, but don't know how to say that you get in shape, it does me not the option on any of them

  I think it's using a lot of memory

  I suggest you an own custom reinstall, removing the two Partitions in Vista and leave:

  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

• How can I actually protect the operating system of my computer?

  At the time when I turn on my computer there is what is supposed to be "updated" something MicroSoft.  In other words, someone just hacked into my
  computer and is committed to change the operating system on my computer.  I would like to prevent this.  How then?

  It is probably not a hacker but instead MS just the things you really need to update as a security update.

  You can disable updates, but it will more vulnerable and lead to instability.
