  Here is a guide to back to factory settings.

  Ask your computer manufacturer to get the EXACT instructions:

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

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

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  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.

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

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  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

  Super Guide Windows Vista Installation

  After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

  Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  If the information I am providing does not work, you will need to contact your computer manufacturer for assistance that these discs that you made are their recovery to factory settings software process.

  Microsoft plays no role in their recovery process.

  I'm glad that you have saved all of the data because the hard drive will be wiped clean during the recovery process.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk, you did 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 as you never received a recovery disk when you purchased your computer (you have done your own disks) 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.

  See you soon.

• I want to restore my computer to a point, four months ago. How do I do that?

  * Original title: the system recovery

  I want to restore my computer to a point, four months ago. How do I do that?

  I think that the only option you have is to look at the date in the system restore. You can start the system restore command by typing rstrui.exe in search and run it.

  Good luck.

  Thanks for the return of the response.  Did you run a full scan with your antivirus software or malware/spyware programs?   I would do this first so that we can get this resolved, if something is found.

  I had to restore my computer to factory settings and now I can't go on the internet. I have Windows 7

  Hello

  When you perform a restore, you may need to reinstall the network drivers, etc..

  As you can not access the internet on the recovery computer, use the computer that you are on to get here to do this.

  Go to the website to make your computer > Driver and Software Support Section > find your computer model number > then your operating system > locate drivers Windows 7 > download and install the desktop > copy to flash drive > transfer onto the repaired computer.
