If the above does not solve your problem that XP is no longer supported AND you have a retail version of Windows XP Edition family, see if a friend has a CD, they can lend you. You don't need their product key, just the CD.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

  • My wife down loaded window 8. But I want to reinstall vista 32. No cd. but I have the product key.

    Hello

    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 from how you bought your computer, IF the 8 Windows Installer do not wipe it.

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

  • I want to reinstall XP on drive C by using the recovery CD (D leave intact)

    Hello

    As you say in your ad that you will need the second option on the called Recovery Expert mode Toshiba Recovery CD

    Expert mode allows you to choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.

    I've found this useful Toshiba FAQ document on the Expert mode recovery procedure.
    Please check:

    The Recovery process includes two procedures. 'Whole hard drive recovery' and 'Recovery Expert Mode'. What is the best way to run the "Recovery Expert mode'? http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ350072001GR01.htm

  • Automatic updates on my home edition of Windows XP several times trying to install service pack 1 and every time the display shows that it could not be installed. All other updates are installed successfully except Service Pack 1.

    All windows updates are installed automatically with success except on my Windows XP home edition SP1.  It lasts for years, but now I'm wondering if there is a problem of security which is not treated without the update.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

    https://support.Microsoft.com/OAS/default.aspx?PRID=13014&Gprid=582034&St=1

    Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for SP2 is valid until February 26, 2010.

  • v.31: NoScript, initial home page are displayed correctly, but the tabs are not displayed correctly

    I'm under FF with NoScript, never "do not forget history," "Tell sites I don't want to be followed," not selected "Remember passwords for sites" and no Flash. My search engine is Duckduckgo. I use FF for private surfing. If I want to watch the video, I use IE11.

    V.30 with before, I could never see how to configure FF to view my homepage of duckduckgo.com , when I created a new tab. But this is only a minor annoyance because I just click on the Home button.

    Now with v.31, when I create a new tab I see nine rectangles where my story would be represented, if I had not turned off. At the top is a search box with Duckduckgo. However, when I try to use the search box, I see a message 'this page requires JavaScript. Download no - JS here. »

    What is the point of allowing my Duckduckgo home page to display properly when FF is displayed first, but the following tabs require is at the bottom right of the screen and select NoScript "temporarily allow all this page" or by clicking on the Home button? From my point of view, this is not an improvement, just something different to look at.

    I put my home page at https://duckduckgo.com/html/, in other words, the version that FF suggested, but nothing has changed.

    I don't need JavaScript enabled for the new integrated tab page, but it might be because I disabled the search suggestions.

    Here's how to set your new tab to DuckDuckGo page:

    (0) as the first step, copy the full URL in the address bar of the search page. This will stick you to step 3.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page - paste here

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Success?

    Original title: the remote keyboard language

    Hello

    I connect to a remote virtual desktop. My local computer uses a different keyboard language than the remote.

    I want that my users who connect to the virtual remote control to use the one I have set myself in this picture and not their local since keyboard only supports us that we provide in the virtual, not on their local machine.

    I've tried the "Reg" IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout key, but I've been the opposite. Who closes?

    Is their a way to force the RDP to use the remote keyboard and not local?
