I would like to re - install Windows Vista, but my drive does not all service packs. Download Windows Vista with service pack already on it?
so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,
but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?
Hello yaleblor,
You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468
Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.
Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.
You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm
After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.

I would like to re - install Windows 7 Pro; Where can I find an ISO to do this?
Hello
I bought 3 computers on a sale at auction and I do not have passwords enemy inwdows. I would like to re - install Windows 7 Pro on those computers and I don't have the product keys.
Where can I find an ISO to do this?
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

Stop indicates a ready to install update ready but the judgment does not install anything
Using a Windows 7, 16 k RAM system, always had normal installation of updates when there is a "!" stated in the stop start button. Today, there is an indication that an update is ready to install, but when I stop, there is no indication that one or more updates is installed. and when I start the computer the "!" is still there in the start stop button. I tried see if there are specific updates available for the instillation, and no seems to be there. But, as noted, every time I'm going to stop there is indication of an update ready for instillation that is not installed with the computer of the system/stop. Direction/advice/thoughts?

The problems with the installation of the updates:

You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:
How to reset the Windows Update components
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.
I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

Do you have other Adobe applications installed on your computer?
Navigate to C: > Program Files > Adobe.
Open the Adobe folder and check if the Adobe Premiere pro CS5 folder is created with files stay inside?
Let us know.
As System File Checker run command once and see if \any system files are corrupt. As you had upgraded to Windows 10 we will check the system files once. Later we can try to provide full permissions for the required records.

I bought creative cloud and the App LightRoom and Photoshop App appear fine, but Premier Pro is not found. It is said that it is installed.
But, the app does not appear on the app page or even if I pick up the computer.
I use Windows 10 and tried to uninstall and reinstall. Where is he? It is part of a different application?

I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed and would like to change to Windows 7 32 bit. How can I do this?
Original title: Harold
Usually this is impossible on computers with Windows 7. In almost all cases, you need to go to the store, buy Windows 7 32-bit and use the CD to install it on your computer. This also requires the deletion of your system, you will need to reinstall all your programs and settings.
