I wiped my pc and my windows vista. How can I get a copy, reinstall.i have the product code?
Hello
If Vista is preinstalled contact the Manufacter computer and ask them to send recovery discs; what they should do for a small fee.
And ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.
If you have not deleted this partition (you tell how wipe you the hard drive!) you press F10 or F11, etc at startup to start the process of relocation.
Ask the manufacturer for their combination of button to do this, if it is always an option for you.

PS You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.
Builders 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

Windows Vista how can I get to the bottom of the start menu?
I have a problem, "Start menu" I like there to the top instead of the bottom in windows vista. I don't know how to take it down. If any of you guyz has an idea, please report it here.
Hello
I guess your taskbar is on the top of the screen instead of the bottom? If that's what you hear, right-click the taskbar and select "lock the tasbar" to unlock it (if it is not already unlocked). To check f it is locked, there will be a checkbox next to "lock the taskbar". If there is no check box, it is already unlocked.
Once unlocked, just drag the taskbar to its current position to the bottom of the screen where you normally and then lock the taskbar.
Kind regards

I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version. Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.
To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.
Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.
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 way of doing recovery disk/s.

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).

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

the screen that appears whenever I start my computer says "windows boot manager, windows did not start." a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
fie: \windows\system32\winload.exe
status: 0xc000000e
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.
A factory restore should you restore your computer to its state when you bought it. If the factory restore did not work, you have to be a problem with the hardware or the original image. Do factory restore using the recovery disks, not the recovery image on the hard drive. Alternatively, you can contact Acer technical support about the error since it is their original which has been restored. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I try to use windows excel for windows vista and asks me to enter a product key. I am the sole owner of the computer but have no installation CD for recharge Excel. How can I find out what order to use the product? From now the product doesn't let me do anything. Help, please!
Hello
Did you pay for Office (including Excel) in a packaging separated when you bought your computer?
Office is not included with your purchase of computer for free.
Most new computers come with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.
After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.
And the product key on the computer case or laptop for the operating system, not for the desktop Suite.
Here is the link for the Microsoft Store to Office products:
And you might be interested in the free Open Office Suite of Office Applications.
For any other question about Office, please repost in the Office Forums:

Windows Vista - How can I move the buttons in the taskbar to the left side of the taskbar? Someone has used my computer and now they are on the right side you can see 2 programs at once. I want that they start on the left and run through the whole (not just two value windows) task bar so I can see all and switch between them by clicking on them.
Right-click on the taskbar and unlock it. There will be low vertical bars between the sections of the taskbar. Place the cursor on one and drag it to the left. You have to play a little, but you will get it. -
Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?
Hello Bob w. NY
Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.
As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.
