Installed the 64 bit version of vista, but need to 32-bit. Help, please!

My Vista 32 bit was removed from my Sony Vaio.  I tried to use a disc of Vista, but after I loaded it, I realized it was a 64-bit version of Vista.  The screen is filled only partially.  I don't have a backup for 32-bit Vista disc, then how I would go from 64-bit to 32-bit Vista so I can have my full screen back?

It is your option to reinstall Vista 32 bit.

Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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

  • The stylus pressure works... but not in Cs3? Help, please

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the dynamic pressure of the stylus on CS3. They cannot be changed.

    If I change it to 'pen pressure' I get a little yellow marker next to it which I suppose means his record do not or recognition.

    The Tablet I use is Wacom Intuos (I think it's the original) http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt110/thedeekin/forsale/Intuos1.jpg

    I know for a fact that the stylus pressure works because I have a program that tests it.

    http://i571.Photobucket.com/albums/ss154/Peardan/Stupidthingdunwork.jpg

    Blue bar goes the harder I press so I don't know his work...

    All methods of fixing has been tested:

    Driver in the box, pilots the latest driver that is available for download,

    Unplug and plug back in,

    CTRL + Alt + shift.

    10Million pc restarts.

    It has always worked well on my old computer that where xp, no problem, but I got a new computer with Windows7 64 bit.

    As far as I can tell its photoshop which is not let them work. CS3 is fully updated and works fine apart from this problem that prevents everything.

    Thanks for the help.

    I would like to draw...

    You can try the tablet in the paint that should be found under accessories in the all programs list.

    (even if the pen pressure works in paint, you always find a compatible driver)

    You really need to go to the wacom site to find the latest driver because only by using windows for

    updated the drivers still does not receive good driver and you'll probably want to

    uninstall the Tablet driver before installing a new one.

  • Responsive HTML5 with mergedprojects, creates a hyperlink to a file in the project html parent to a child html file and it does not work! The child has with the parent TOC, but need to tie. Help, please!

    Hi group!

    I have a brilliant parent project that serves as a springboard for other projects. Users click a component of software they want and are redirected to a page with a list of all the documentation available for this component. Click on the name of a document and access - a lot of PDF files. BUT I also wish they were able to tie the online help for the component. After having read up on the link through / between projects, I knew that I needed to create a parent project (for the page intro and links brilliant) and projects for children (for software components).

    THEN

    I created a parent sensitive HTML5 project and the projects of two children. I compiled the parent to create mergedprojects files, and then open the projects children and collected to the appropriate mergedprojects folder. I then created a hyperlink to the file list html documentation in the project parent towards the child file software component html (output folder and start page [which is the same as the default theme]) and the link does not work! The child and its table of contents appears in the parent TOC so topics are here, but I can't link to them. If necessary, I can send screenshots.

    Where I am dorking this place?

    Thanks in advance for your time and help!

    Scottie 'needs help' gear

    What is your relationship like? And how did you create the link?

    A typical reactive merged help is structured as follows:

    index.htm (Master home page)

    mergedProjects

    childName

    index.htm (starting page for child)

    A child from the index.htm page link would look like this:... /... index.htm

    You'll need during cratch because there is no way to upgrade a 32 bit OS to a 64-bit version of Windows.

    Check your BIOS to make sure that your DVD drive is set as the first boot device, and then save your settings (if a change was required) and get out.

    With the 64-bit DVD in the DVD drive, restart the computer.

    Choose the "Custom" option and then delete the existing system and Windows partitions, click next to continue the installation,

    Since you enabled the OS using the 32-bit product key most likely you need to activate by phone this time.

  • I installed Windows 7 64 bit and then some programs will not install the 64 - bit while telling me that I have a 32 bit OS. How can I make sure I have load a 64-bit version only when there is a choice?

    I have create a new PC and installed Windows & Pro 64-bit. While some offer programs install both 32-bit and 64-bit as a single installation and the installation of the program checks it should install. A few programs installed 32-bit when I said to use the 64-bit. I received a message that I had a 32 bit OS and that it could not install the 64-bit version. How can I ensure that the 64-bit version is always installed when it is available. I have a program that I need it's 32-bit however.

    I also installed Office 2010 and want to know how to check if it installed 32-bit or 64-bit.

    If you buy a commercial version of win7 you are provided with the installation dvd of bit versions and a unique activation key. You cannot install both versions.

    Most of the programs will install without problem in a 64-bit version of victory, there is very little that will not be installed on Windows 64-bit.

    You install programs as usual, you don't need to change any settings or install to anywhere other than their default locations. -C' IE you do not manually select the x 86 folder or any other folder.

    If the program you are installing has the ability to install a specific version of bit, and it does not work, then the problem is that options program installers, you must contact the program support

    A retail version of Office 2010 also comes with two versions of ILO.

    Having a 64-bit version of victory does NOT mean that you need to install 64-bit Office, in fact MS recommends that stick you with 32-bit Office (reason being compatibility with various plug0ins Office)

    And of course the 32-bit version of win only supports 4 GB of memory
