• I reformatted computer that had vista on it, but did not come with cd how vista back on it?

  OK so I got my computer and I've had for about 2 years with no problems then I have a virus and I need to reformat it but I forgot that the computer came with a vista installation CD or recovery CD, so I don't know how to get it back, but I don't have the thing to sticker the serial number on the back of my computer vista It was still Vista Home Basic 64 - Bit thank you.

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition 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

• Reformatting computer - website of losing?

  Hello

  I want to reformat my computer, but I just wanted to clear a few things on my website before you do!

  I built my website using Dreamweaver and at the present time, all web pages are stored on my hard drive and of course, when I opened Dreamweaver to update my site, it's all related to all Web pages and update of new changes I made to my Web host server is nice and easy.

  Now, when I reformat my computer I was planning on moving to the folder that contains all of my info/pages Web etc. temporaily on a hard drive, reformat, re - install Dreamweaver, then bring this folder on my computer.

  But if I do that, it will create wheb huge mess, it comes to updating my site regarding broken links etc. when using in Dreamweaver?

  I'm working on a Mac by the way and running Dreamweaver CS4.

  Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

  Save the folder to your site on an external drive. Export your DW site definition settings and save to external hard drive.

  New HD format.  Install DW.

  Copy the folder of the external site to the same location on your hard drive reformatted.

  Import site definition settings.

  You should be OK.   You have your remote site as backup, too.

The file appears in Photoshop Elements and I can save it as a psd file, but I can't find the jpg or psd files to move in my images.

  The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.

  (2) in order to see the folders hidden Windows XP in general, try this:
