  I want to upgrade Vista home to Vista Ultimate edition. In my Staples store seller told me that it is no longer available and I have bay Windows 7. but my computer is only 1.5 years old and I don't want to spend additional $ 350. Let me know how can I upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

  Sincerely,

  The cost of the upgrade of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition would have been about the same that the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.  Given that Windows Vista Ultimate Edition is no longer sold through distribution channels, you might as well move to Windows 7 Ultimate.

I am the owner / administrator and there is no other user accounts, but still all my programs and files have this other names of people on them.

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  You must always wipe a used computer and start over.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

  Once the drivers installed to check if the microphone is the default value, here's how:

  Exercise the functions mentioned below to adjust the Microphone as default:
  1. Click Start and click on Control Panel.
  2. click on sound, then a new window will open.
  3. in the new windows, click on the 'Registration' tab and right click in the window and click Show disabled devices.
  4. now check if the Microphone is listed there and right-click on it and choose activate.
  5. turn highlighted that Microphone and click "set as default".

• The upgrade of Vista home premium for the company

  Hello

  I bought my toshiba satellite and startet to install all my software on it.
  I really want to install the version of Vista Enterprise there are many functions that Miss probably with the preinstalled vista home premium.

  Does anyone know a way to install without having to reinstall the entire system again?

  Any idea?

  Hmm, I assume that you will not need to boot from the CD of Vista Business, but you have to start the DVD of Vista Business running Vista Home Edition.

  However, I m not 100% sure, but I guess that it s the same procedure like an update of Win XP Home Pro.

  Best regards

• I have vista home edition and have lost internet how do I get it back?

  I hava a HP that is 6 years old. I tried to remove google crome as my internet option and use internet exlporer. Now, I can not all internet options? I have Vista home edition.

  Help!

  Internet explore for Vista is not safe and should not be used.  Google Chrome or FireFox is much safer.  The method used to remove chrome, it would be possible to recover.  Examines settings system restore back to a date before that Chrome has been removed.

• Can I get a restore CD from HP for my Windows Vista Home Edition?
