  • computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

    computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

    Hello

    You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

    Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

    Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

    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

    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.

    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 once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • I want to improve my hp pavilion 15 n003sq

    OK, so I want to improve my hp pavilion n003sq 15
    I have 2 questions:

    1. can I put my laptop up to 16 GB of ram? I have only 2 slots of 8 GB each. And I wonder if my laptop supports ram 2x8gb.
    It's the ram that I have in mind:
    -HP DDR3L 1x8GB SO-DIMM, 1600 MHz, 1.35v

    2. then, I want to know if I can install an mSATA SSD and then install my OS on it.
    I want a SSG with 200 + GB
    who is the best of the 3?
    - Crucial M500 240 GB mSATA CT240M500SSD3

    - Intel 525 240 GB mSATA OEM Pack SSDMCEAC240B301

    - A-Data 256 GB XPG SX300 mSATA3 ASX300S3-256 GM - C

    If I install the OS on the WSSD, it will work faster?

    The maintenance manual:

    Manual

    says it tops out at 12 GB, but I find it difficult to understand. There are 2 slots and I can't understand why you can put 8 gb in one and only 4 in another, but that's what he says and you don't believe it at your own risk. It is also said that you can install a WSSD mSATA but only if you have no more than 8 GB of RAM. Again, difficult to understand but there it is.

    The manual shows no more where the mSATA slot. The system is set up to discourage them using the mSATA for a bootable disc slot. The BIOS does not directly define a WSSD as the disk to MBR, so you need to use some software tricks to make it work. These are very advanced configurations and not for the average user.

    You would be much better to install a full-sized 2.5 inch SATA SSD. The instructions to do this are in the manual, but it is not something permitted of the customer. You would jeopardize the warranty and it requires extensive disassembly. HP and many other laptop manufacturers now offer units that allow for minimal if any client is upgraded. Yours is one of these, but at least the memory is accessible behind a service door. HP makes other similar models without service door at all.

    I want to upgarde my vista windows 7, so should I buy CDs or I can download and free upgarde?

    Hello

    Windows 7 is not free; you have to buy.

    Microsoft sells more Windows 7; Try Amazon.com.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • My Vista system crashes, blue screen on startup: irql_not_less_or_equal STOP: 0x0000000A (0 x 0, 00000002 00000001, 0x81AE8590)

    My Vista system was crushed, tried everything, but finally resorted to a recovery of the original factory image off the coast of the hard drive Partition. Everything seemed to go smooth but now I get a blue screen at startup: irql_not_less_or_equal STOP: 0x0000000A (0 x 0, 00000002 00000001, 0x81AE8590)

    Odd part is the system has two RAM slots, we have a 2 GB key and another has a 1 GB. Could not get the machine to start with two sticks in. Will start with a stick in each thin slot. Will not start no matter how they are installed if you are using the two RAM slots. Ran SFC/scannow. He found errors, that it cannot correct. How can I fix these errors?

    CBS log is large enough: what details should I post it to help you troubleshoot?

    Note: Were able to update the system, including the installation of updates Windows 128 and seems to be updated throughout the SP-2. I really don't want to run another recovery if possible.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Perhaps you have different brands of RAM in your computer, and so it would not start with the two inserted Rams. Do a check for your specific PC memory that tells you what products work with your system.

    Follow the information in this article.
    Know what type of RAM you need

    In addition, updated BIOS.

    Warning of the BIOS:
    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    If scan SFC did not fix the issue, I would say that you follow the steps in this article to fix it.

    Regarding blue screen errors, follow the steps in this article that applies also for Vista.

  • Vista system does not see the files that are on a CD of HP, Intuit and others

    CD allows you to install different products does not work on my Vista Ultimate system when the CD has been made by the manufacturer to support Windows and Mac OS.  These CD work in an XP system and a Windows 7 system. I have two optical drives on the Vista system (two allow DVD writing) and installation CD fail the same way in the two discs.

    If I share a CD drive on the Windows 7 or XP System I and then place the CD in the drive, I can see all the files on the Vista system.  Another CD that do not also for Mac OS work well in all my systems. So far, a single CD of Intuit and two HP is failing.

    I made several complete scans of my system searching for virus using two tools each of Norton and Microsoft and can't find anything.

    When I said above fail, I wanted to say that Windows Explorer displays an incomplete list of files on the CD. To be more precise, the list displayed on the Windows vista system does not include autorun.inf or setup.exe. There are also listed things that should not be registered on a Windows install CD. VolumeIcon.icns and background for example. Basically, it seemed something to tell readers that they are on a Mac system.

    Earlier today, I solved this problem. It seems that someone (probably me or my son) XPlay 3 was installed on the system. For some reason, this included a copy of MacDrive. I think that MacDrive caused the problem by making the part Apple Mac of the CD to be the only part that was visible to my system. I uninstalled XPlay 3 and everything works fine now.

    If the Vista recovery partition was wiped out on the PC and then your only option would be to use the media to restore Vista Factory that has been provided with or you created since the recovery partition when you first purchased the computer.  If no partition restoration or media, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer for a set of restore media (nominal cost) if they are still available.
