My computer crashed, vista has disappeared and I have no boot disk. I think the cd key might be inside the computer. What can I do to fix this? Thank you.
So what I do now?
Thank you
Paul
Hi PaulVan Blom,
You must have Windows vista DVD to perform an operating system repair or a reinstallation is complete. The product key will be on the DVD case. You can contact Microsoft customer support if you are using a retail windows vista DVD. See the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295539
If you use a cell phone contact of the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more help and information.

The iOS device connects to other networks? If Yes, which tends to indicate a problem with your network.
The iOS device sees the network?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:

Device iOS Reset: Hold down the On / Off button and the Home button at the same time for to
ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Power off, then back on your router
. - Reset network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings
- iOS: troubleshooting connections and Wi - Fi networks
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi - Fi network
- iOS: recommended for WiFi routers and access points
-Restore from backup. See:
-Restore factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar because it appears that you have a hardware problem.
