• Lost my Windows Vista Home OS.

  My hard drive crashed.  It is a Compaq Presario SR2150NX PC running Windows Vista Home Edition, which has been pre-installed.  I do not have the installation diskettes; but I do not have the sticker still on the side of the computer that has the product key.  The player does not even start.  It is quite dead.  If I buy a new hard drive and install in the machine, I'll be able to get a replacement disk software from Microsoft for the operating system from Vista Home free of charge + port, of course, since it is a true copy of Vista?

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Reinstalled lost images of Vista Home premium

  I have Vista home premium, I had a problem with my computer and I ended up reinstalling it back to factory settings. I have no backup of the photos and I was wondering if there is a way to get back them?

  If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

  You can try this program:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

  Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

• No access to Windows Vista Home Premium more - need help please!

  Hello

  I made the most stupidest mistake by not creating a password reset disk.  I have one account administrator, and this is my account, I use as well.  I am currently logged in as "guest".  I tried to create a password reset disk from another computer with Vista Home Premium and tried to reset my password, but can not, as happens with an error.  Now, I know that there must be a way to get new.  I have an idea of what is my password, but I could have made a typo when I re-printing and since disconnecting and tried to reconnect to test, it didn't.  Lycky for me, I have activated the Geust account for a friend to use.  So now I'm stuck.  I need to reconnect, so I'm desperate, and re - install Windows is not an option either.  Pretty anyone can help me please.  I tried all combinations and tried to make deliberate typos to see if I can get the correct password, but not to go at all.  And the geust account limit me to access what it is, I can't install of the software, it asks me my administrator password.  Is there another way around it.  Please please help.  If there is anything I can do in Windows, there's a few other kindof thing I can do at least.  All that will be a great help.

  Thanks in advance.

  I have a gateway with Windows Vista Home Basic x 32.  Recently, it would break any chance and will have to be turned off manually.  Some options in the start screen and I would always click on start windows normally.  Today, I went through the process and came up with the blue screen of death.  He said that if this is the first time you see this reboot, so I did.  Then the blue screen of death came once again, and he said to go in the system recovery options.  Having no idea how to do that I restarted again.  Then the recommended option was to go into system recovery thing, so I said to myself Oh well it will fix itself.  I went in there and he brought me to the system recovery option screen.  It is said to find my operating system in a list and there is no operating system indicating.  Then I read and it says if you do not have an operating system, then load the drivers here.  I click on that and there is a list of about 50 cases.  Inside of some folders are folders more.  I can't possible go through all records to find driver software that he wants me to.  I also never had a disc of windows vista with the purchase of the computer

• I have a fatal error of the system on vista (Home Basic). Please help, it is said: __STOP: C000021a {fatal system error} initial session process or system _ ended unexpectedly with status 0x00000000 (0 xC0000001 0 X 00100450)

  That's what happened, I was using just disk defragment hard disk and since it takes a long time, I just left it alone and came to my laptop after a few minutes (about 15 minutes) and all of a sudden, I see my laptop is off.
  I turn it on again normally and after a while, the screen goes black and a blue screen with the message above appears. I press the "TURN OFF" button and it shuts down.
  That's the problem.

  I can not use safe mode or something, I tried everything in the F8 menu such as 'Last good known Configuration (Advanced)' and 'debugging '. Nothing works, all of this brings back me to the error message.

  The only thing I can do, is use the Startup Repair tool.

  It scans and tells me that he could correct errors, then I used the restoration of the system (to an earlier point), I haf 2 restore points but an error message appears and then they both became deleted. At the moment, I have no restore points.
  I can only use the command line Interface which directs me to "x: windows\system32\.

  I can use regedit (the registry editor). However, I tried another procedure step by step that earlier, I found that told me how to fix this problem, I typed in "System Root\System32\Drwtsn32.exe" and it says 'system is not recognized as an internal.... " »
  I also tried "System32\Drwtsn.exe" and he said: 'the path cannot be specified.
  I don't know what to do, I ask you is can you please help solve me this problem by using CMD and the registry editor. Please, thank you very much for your time.

  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  My laptop...
  Windows Vista Home Basic
  1.00 GB of RAM
  AMD Athlon processor
  120 GB hard drive
  ATI Radeon X 1250 graphics card (that I could remember)

  It's strange, so you are always able to get into the safe mode command prompt is that correct? If so try to type sfc/scannow and see if it finds problems

  regarding the komodia, you can stop this cycle by quickly tapping F8 and select Disable automatic reboot after the system failuyre you should give the sfc/scannow suddenly too who could fix

  Oh and the reason for which you've entered in this thing drwtsn.exe and itt said it does not recognized is because you're not on the right track

  in any case I doubt that may help, but if you know you need to learn how to navigate your system using the command-line... pretty easy:

  CD means change directory

  If you type cd-it will take you to the root of the system

  so go ahead and type of

  Note that you are no longer in the c:\windows\system32 folder

  now type
  CD windows
  CD system32
  Drwtsn32

  Note that you can type the first few letters of a file or folder tab and press on to fill in the rest

  in any case, who should start the program that you try to start but I think that your better off trying to run the sfc/scannow command. Let me know how you go
