Hello

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

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.

See you soon.

  • Suggestions for synchronization of the Z22 with Vista 64 bit?

    Hello world

    I know there are many positions related to this, but I'm still not clear on what I need to do, so I hope someone can help!

    I just bought a new laptop with Vista 64 bit, and I have a Palm Z22.  I know there is currently no drivers for Vista 64-bit, and my laptop does not seem have an infrared port, so here's my question: anyone had success synchronization a Z22 in any other way, and if so, how?  Any help would be appreciated!

    I am posting this probably a bit late, but for the benefit of anyone else who runs into this problem, I have had success using the IRDA to USB for Hotsync adapter a Z22 with a laptop under Vista 64.

    I use an old version of Palm Desktop and Hotsync software in 32-bit compatibility mode.  When I tried to do a Hotsync via the USB port, I discovered that there is no USB driver for 64-bit for the Palm handhelds.  Not at the time I write this, in any case (Nov. 2008).

    The only other option is IR for the Z22.  I found an adapter USB to IRDA model USB-1510 online.  The adapter comes with an extension cable USB for those who have a desktop PC or a USB located inconveniently on a laptop.

    As soon as I plugged the adapter to the USB port on the laptop the 64-bit for the adapter driver has been downloaded from the Windows Update site.

    I created Hotsync via infrared like I would on any other PC and it worked the first time.  The only problem is that if you start Hotsync by touching the permanent icon next to the writing area, he will always try to synchronize via USB, but I guess it's a matter of Palm Z22.  I have been using the icon on the main touch screen that always starts with an IR connection after the initial installation.

    If you have a different model, Bluetooth and Wi - Fi Hotsync seem to work for others.

  • ZIRE 21 hot sync is not compatible with vista 64-bit program

    ZIRE 21 hot sync is not compatible with vista 64-bit program - apparently it will work with 32-bit vista.  Is there a way to create a 32-bit only for the Zire 21 program without compromising the rest of my 64 bit OS computer? That's what Microsoft sent me. The help for this program was created in Windows format help, which was used in previous versions of Windows and it is not supported in Windows Vista.

    For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows on the Microsoft Web site.

    Laughing out loud

    You cannot change part of a 64 bit of Vista in 32-bit OS.

    32 bit and 64 bit OSs are completely different operating systems.

    See you soon.

    The only safe option is to perform a factory restore. If you do not, then you are likely to be confronted with a machine that is seriously infected or was hacked. Have a look here for instructions:

  • Acer Aspire laptop with Vista Home Basic Edition does not, System Restore does not, sfc, find corrupt files but do not repair. Need help!

    Hi, I have an Acer laptop Aspire with Vista Home Basic Edition that came pre-installed, so no records only the disk hard drive partition.

    I turned on my laptop today and it starts but the loading bar of stalls at the black screen with "(c) Microsoft Corporation" and dragging green. The slide bar will continue to drag, but nothing else happens which means that I understand even as much as the login screen. I rebooted and tried Windows recovery, but the only remedy to what he suggests is a restoration of the system, which does not have any point, I try to restore it.

    To remedy this, I have connected in safe mode and ran the SFC command prompt. It scans my system and told to find corrupted files, but he can't heal some. This is where my knowledge limit runs out. I don't know how to fix the files that the SFC cannot. (Also I created a journal using the findstr command prompt and checked but it say anywhere that it was unable to fix it so I'm not even sure how to identify corrupted files)

    As it's an Acer laptop, Aspire I'll try their eRecovery tool to return my computer to factory settings, but it won't work in safe mode, and as I said I can not connect normally. I tried alt and F10 at the initial boot screen when I turn on, it loads the windows files and shows the Acer "Please wait a moment" screen and then nothing happens again.

    I can't afford to get it fixed, and there is no chance I can get a new laptop. Any ideas/help? Thank you.
