• can not restore correctly hit theme by accident and computer screen went gray

  My Dell was working fine no problem. I have vista.  I went into the control panel under Customize the theme and got confused and selected windows classic.  My main screen turned all gray (by removing all my icons and background).  A friend told me to go back and choose windows vista, I made this gray screen but still the same.  To make matters worse my computer then stopped allowing me to view anything on my screen.  I coud go to start, but I I chose something you would see that flash on the screen as he was trying to open, but he would never open, you would see only listed in the toolbar. At this point I turned off a turned on the computer, allowing access again.  1 prob. This keeps coming and go where I can and cannot click to open things from the start tab.  Prob 2 there are lines of light on dashboard on both sides of the computer that says "tablet pc Input Panel", what is it, and why I can't get rid of it.  Prob 3, I just want to go back to my old screen is possible.

  I went to start search and type rstrui and tried to restore to yesterday.  Process, restarted, but an error came say it has failed.  I tried a 2nd and 3rd times where I couldn't even read the pop up when she came back because we were back to not be able to view anything.  4th test was identical to the first.  How can I restore my computer to how it worked before?

• Can not find XP drivers for the WIFI and its computer HP G71-449WM laptop

  Hi guys, I tried to downgrade a HP G71-449WM laptop to XP Pro SP3 so far I have everything except the WIFI and sound. I tried all the drivers on the Xp Downgrade Guide wifi but none doesn't seem to work, I tried to search the Win7 drivers to see if I could at least identify what brand it is (Intel, Broadcom, Atheros, etc.), but it lists no WIFI Drivers on the Support page. All ideas are welcome.

  I think you'll Atheros, but not 100% on that. Atheros seems to be giving XP downgraders, grief most right now... with the sp42654 listed in guide with the highest success rate at present.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  What buttons? You can restore a classic iPod via iTunes without using the buttons on the device. Restore it will not fix hardware problems.

• Just updated to ios 9 and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters.  I can not restore from iTunes as I have to disable 'find my iPod toch' and cannot do the iPod is blocked with the message to update.  Will not work force a stop down.

  Just updated to ios 9.2 (from 8 something) and my ipod touch is stuck at 'update of the iCloud parameters.  I can not restore from iTunes because I have to disable "Find my iPod touch" first of all, and I can't do as the iPod is blocked with the message to update.  Forcing a stop down does not work that for some reason, I am unable to turn off my iPod touch manually.  I tried to turn off my wifi to see if that stops the iPod touch, but he always keeps on the message to iCloud.  Do I just wait until the battery sinks so that it forces a reboot?

  Place your iOS device into Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  iOS: I forgot the password or disabled device

  If the recovery mode does not work, try the DFU mode.

  How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."

  To learn how to restore:

  iTunes: restore iOS software

  To restore backup see:

  Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

  If you restore from a backup of iCloud apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from backup iTunes, applications and music must be in iTunes since synchronized as music media library and apps are not included in the backup of the iOS device what iTunes does.

  You can re-download most of iTunes purchases by:

  Download after purchase from the App Store and iTunes Store iBookstore

  If no problem what happens or doesn't happen, and when in the instructions? When you get the iPod into recovery successfully mode and connect to iTunes on the computer should say that it found an iPod in recovery mode.
