    I suggest to try the system restore to restore the system to a date before the problem started. Try this...
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the instructions on the screen to restore the system to a date before the problem started
    Although the system restore does not target the personal data, I recommend always backup your personal data, just in case something happens.
    For reference, I have included a link that provides more specific information about the restoration of the system and how to use it:
    Let us know if it works,

  • Don't know what I need.

    I have a Dimension CXE it's old but it works well for the moment. I used a dial upward and only switched to a USB port to connect to the internet. I have recently added phone to my service and got a new modem. The Tech said to use the Ethernet connection, but could not make it work. After several attempts, I contacted Dell and I was told that I needed a PCI card. It seems to be a few, and I'm not sure what I need. I might be better to stay just with the USB connection. Device Manager, said that the device was working properly. I have an icon in the system tray that say little or no connectivity.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry for the long post.


  • I have Windows Vista Home Basic installed but I also have to setup for ultimate diskettes. I can still improve?

    I have Home Basic installed but I also have to setup for ultimate diskettes.  I can still improve? How '.

    original title: without any time update, how do I install Ultimate

    Not without a product key for ultimate.  If you have the product key for Ultimate, you can then use the ultimate dvd to upgrade.  If both are 32-bit or both are 64-bit, you can start Windows, insert the dvd into the drive and the splash screen click install now.  Enter your product key.  When asked choose install upgrade.

    If you have 32-bit basic family and 64 bit Ultimate Windows you must start the computer with the dvd and then proceed as above, except that YOU choose Custom Install when asked.  In this case your programs and data will be deleted in a folder Windows.old and you need to reinstall your programs and data.  Register files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer before you start.  Once the installation is complete and you have reinstalled your programs, run Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve your files and settings.

    You can buy is no longer a key using Anytime Upgrade in Vista.  This program is interrupted.

    Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.
