Just recived new desk top. Vista, don't care for vista. I want to go back to XP. no problems with operation cpu so I do it?

Also if I go for XP, my drive of high grade work?

Installation of XP instead of Vista:

Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

Then buy a disc XP and license.

Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

We do not know if you have Vista Recovery disk, or what.

See you soon.

  • Why if I leave my desk top to enter the mode "sleep" I can't get it back on.

    Hello world

    My counter top is an Acer Aspire M5201 64 bit machine I had no problem with all running Windows 7.  I changed to Windows 8 Pro in December and it has worked flawlessly and I was very happy until April.  After several updates Microsoft my machine started to freeze and I have to restart.  However, it would not restart due to no video input.  I've tried several things, change the cable DVI to VGA, unplug the machine and leave for half an hour the tour is played it will return but crashes during the first boot.  If I reboot a second time it lights without problem.  I thought I had managed to solve this problem, but I was put under my computer when I'm away from the desk top.  Today, the phone rang and he entered mode 'sleep' and I couldn't put it back on.  I have consulted many people here in the past about this issue and one solution was to change the parameters of quick start.  It worked but not anymore.  I did different things to my computer to try sorting, but they are all in without success.  I've got rid of Trusteer report on recommendation and dumped loads of temporary files.  I learned that Kaspersky is in conflict with Windows 8 and so on.  Kaspersky has come to me several things that were at the origin of the problems. I have Kaspersky ran for several years and have had no problems with it and I recently renewed my license.  To be honest I really tired performance of my machine as Windows 8 pro has been installed, I ran the following:-

    DISM / online/cleanup-image /checkhealth
    DISM / online/cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Nobody told me how to fix this file only to make an update of Windows, which would mean that I would lose all my Windows applications not that I don't want to do because I have so much of.

    Is there someone out there who is able to help me because I spend so much time trying to resolve these issues, he leads me in the wall?  I had so many problems since Windows 8 Pro installation I wish I had not taken the trouble.  I fear actually turn on my computer.  What was once a reliable machine is becoming a liability.  Thank you

  • Problem with the Gateway using Vista laptop battery

    Hi all

    I've had this laptop Gateway for a year now and I have had this strange problem with it probably a good 3 months to own. Basically the little thing of battery indicator on the bottom right of the task bar will say "plugged in, not charging" while the laptop is plugged. So this is my little ghetto rig which leads me to believe that is not the battery or the charger which gives me the trouble.

    While the laptop is plugged in, and moan about there is no life left blah blah, I pop the battery and back in. Hop, I magically have full battery and be able to unplug the laptop for mobile use.

    I've read a lot online that it is a Vista problem, that I am running, and not a hardware problem. I would really like to know if this is true, because I am a student and prefer not spend the precious material fixing money when this is not the problem. As stated earlier, cell phone charges when it is plugged in, it SAID only that it does not load. When I pop the battery, it works fine until the next time that the battery is exhausted and then I plug it in and have to redo the same platform of ghetto.

    It's just a little a downside to keep popping up that darn battery in and out, and frankly, I don't think it's good for the laptop to keep doing this, even if it's worked for me for about 7-8 months now.

    Can someone please offer information about this weird issue?

    Thank you very much.

  • Problem with drive HARD and Vista install

    Hi all

    A few weeks ago, my Dell Inspiron laptop computer started to freeze. I could boot ok and my desktop wallpaper and icons were all there, but I couldn't run or open anything. I did the Bios tests and my Vista installation disc and told me there was a problem with my hard drive. I wiped it and tried to reinstall vista and that I could see it wasn't working because it took hours and then seems to have stopped again during installation. So I bought a new one and tried to install Vista. everything was going well until it is restarts a second time and I got a black screen with a mouse pointer icon. I had to reinstall it running for about 4 hours, at least an hour of that time which was all that was going on and the hard disk wasn't spinning.

    How long on avg would take to install Vista, if it is running normally?

    is there anything else that might be a problem that would not appear in the repair of Vista or Bios diagnostics?

    Any advice would help a lot.

    If the new hard drive does not work, then the problem is on the motherboard. Your description of symptoms indicates a power supply or motherboard failure. Contact Dell technical support for repair or replacement. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  • Minor problems with Windows Defender in Vista Home Premium 64...

    Hi, I have a problem with the Defender, it seems that the program is updated, but when I open the 'color of program' Defender is orange instead of green.
    To search for "new definitions", he asks, I'm taking this step and then the color is orange, so there must be something wrong with the program.

    There is no error code.

    I use a HP Pavilion Elite with Vista Home Premium 64, and I use Microsoft Security Essentials such as AV and WF.

    Windows Update seems ok.

    Can someone fill me on this one please.
    best regards Carlo

    BTW; my native language is Dutch thanks for the effort...

    You do have a problem that you have to worry.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and would normally disable Vista Defender.

    If you continue to have problems with the Vista Defender, turn it off:

  • Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    ED.

    Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

    Hi dezertdawg,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Msvcr71.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the msvcr71 DLL file. In some cases, the msvcr71.dll errors might indicate a
    problem of registry, a virus or malware problem, or even a hardware failure.

    You can use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to ensure that the system files are intact and replace the file. Follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  • Photosmart WSP 5514 stops my Dell Vista desk top of page 68 to go into sleep mode

    My photosmart 5514 is set up wireless.  When I try to put my Dell desk top with Vista Home Premium 68 pending, I get a message that the driver for the WSP device prevents goiing pending and I am encouraged to communicate with the manufacturer which is HP.  I also have a problem that the scan function can only scan to my laptop and not on my desk even if both are on the same network I don't know if the two probs are related.  I tried several times to update or reinstall the drivers from HP website of HP and from the drive.  The issue (s) outstanding. I can bypass the prob of scan but not the prob of sleep.

    Hi DanToz

    I understand that the port is set to WSD, is that correct?

    I have provided a document to print the configuration page to find out the IP address of the printer.

    You have full administrative rights on this computer?

    The HP 5510d is the series so that's fine.

    If you cannot create a new port on the ports tab, then you probably don't have administrator rights on this computer.

    You would have to contact you with the it Department to be able to do then.

    You need TCP/IP port port.

    You turn off the printer to see if the computer goes into sleep mode?
